Is there a use case for a tumbleweed shield

This is the most time I've spent on a "big" game in handheld mode in ages. My trusty OG Switch is fine, but it's the first time I've really thought the oled model might be nice to have.

Yeah I just got them last night and (MASSIVE spoilers) what the hell man, gently caress Snake Zelda's the one who had a hard life. Spent her whole childhood being berated as a failure by her dad, loses to Calamity Ganon and has to spend 100 years sealing him before Link can wake back up, finally looks like she might be able to live a normal and happy life except lol gently caress you Ganondorf shows up and Zelda ends up flung into the past, has to fight a war she knows is doomed and watch all her new friends and loved ones sacrifice themselves, then has to turn herself into a dragon and hang around for god knows how many thousands of years to regenerate the Master Sword for link.

If this game does not end on Zelda regaining her humanity and an unambiguously good ending for her then I'm gonna be pretty pissed. She's earned some peace and quite a million times over.

All the glitches in this game work in the players favor. There are just new ones being discovered all the time and none of them game breaking or detrimental, just nice little treats for players who don't want to farm something or want to get around a little faster.

My favorite moment was when I pulled that poo poo and the shrine cheesed me right back for it, in the shrine where you need to make makeshift carts.

"Okay, go ahead and make a makeshift cart, and... oh, no, you're just shield-grinding on them? Okay, smartass -- last set of tracks goes up and also you need to switch to a different set of tracks juuuuuust out of Ultrahand range, now get back there and build"

It's not on Eventide. I finished that quest a few days ago, and only went to Eventide for the first time yesterday. Any that have fallen are either directly below it, or have fallen directly below it into the deep. I don't remember where that specific one was, but jump through the hole, and keep diving, don't float down, that'll blow you off course.

This won't be the game but at some point they really mix it up, and they can't go dark... so come on, just sleep/kill Link and have Zelda save the day and bring the happy ending. Make another Lorule if they have to, Sherule Kingdome where the Swordswoman of Destiny does the adventures.

A Zelda game where you play as Zelda because Ganondorf figured it would be far easier to just kidnap Link while he just has 3 hearts and a stick instead of the other way around.

I legit really like the Zelda in these games, the voice actress is really good along with Zelda actually having a personality and getting excited and nerdy over things.

Honestly CD-i Zelda was a baller too. Shows no sympathy when she kills bosses, nearly pulls her sword on a duke that betrayed her father to Ganon. Also I can't be unconvinced that Zelda's Adventure is part of the BOTW/TOTK timeline. Tolemac has shrines and that's all the proof I need :colbert:

it wouldn't be funny, it should just, if nothing else, be a common option for videogame bosses. i know some people enjoy the power fantasy of being bored doing trivial combat at the end of a game, but that's when I'm strongest, best at the game, and most equipped for actual challenges. Or at least have a hard-mode optional rematch or harder secret fight somewhere.

Is there anyway to get to the Light Dragon from the sky? I’m aware that there’s a quest that lowers it to a reasonable height but gently caress that I want a challenge. I’m thinking a fan plane with a control stick could do the trick but where could I get that high

I’m also loling at 60 hours in and I’ve only just completed two temples and barely touched the depths. Masterpiece
