Those people you encountered would be normal people. As opposed to cartoon characters. That's what I was referring to.

Obviously I've seen people in real life whose physical appearance is very different from what I expected based on their voice, but that's generally not a good feeling to invoke via voice acting.

I don't know what to say here. The king's voice is still the voice of a large-bodied, mature dude. What are you look for dude? More hoarseness and raspyness to remind you he's geriatric? What do you want here?

Showing there's a variety of ways people can sound isn't exactly creating dissonance. It makes the world feel more alive. There's a difference between "fitting" and "stereotypical", and the latter feels like what people want when people say the king needs to sound "older".

Inversely, they DO do that with Impa, and I think she's the weakest voice in the game, given that she's doing her best to sound old and not, like, emote and stuff. She's doing a voice, not a character.

It's ok for a character to be "emo" when circumstances surrounding them justify it, IMO

I liked the part where she realized she was in love with Link and that love turned out to be the catalyst which turned her magic sealing powers on

I didn't like the part where Ganon essentially cucked Link for one hundred years though

Yeah the true ending​ to Zelda where she turns to you and says "I'm pregnant, Link. I don't truly know if the baby is yours or calamity ganon's" and Link finally breaks his silence(voice by Trevor Noah) to say "We'll find out... Together,” and then "The End?" pops up on screen was really weird. was really weird.

I already had enough arrows and easy access to a shop that sold them so I didn't bother with climbing the drat mountain.

I mean, I've climbed it and fought that rear end in a top hat, but I didn't need to for that quest.

Ironshrooms and ironshrooms and more ironshrooms, throw as many of em as you can get into a pot and be indestructible.

then you fight against lionel for 15 minutes because you're damage is poo poo and then there's a thunderstorm and all your poo poo is metal and you just go like "FUUUCCCKKKK"

Work how? Cooking 5 ironshrooms will give you max armor up for like 4 minutes which is pretty powerful. It's how I beat the fucker, and any others of his kind that I come across.
Of course now I also have barbarian armour which speeds up the process quite a bit, let me tell ya!

Wait, the snake in Snake Pass is named Noodle? I wasn't really interested much before, but with such a cute name and all the doofy faces it makes, maybe I'll pick it up if it's like $20 or less. Don't really care about the soundtrack because I'm that one guy that got enough of the amazon Donkey Kong Country music like 20 years ago.

Oh, no, that was just that I had no way to fight during a thunderstorm. All my shields? Metal. All my melee weapons? Metal. Did you know that my fine collection of knights bows are all metal?

It would be super cool if there was a way to tell if a bow was wood or metal before you get in a thunderstorm/volcano

Some of the Lizal bows look like they're entirely wood and bone but then AC/DC comes on and you know you're gonna get thunderstruck.

I should really just
learn to stop talking.
Just always have a wooden bow on you. Pop the lionel in the face to stun them, then run up behind them to mount them and attack them. You do need to hit the attack button, else you'll just have one hell of a rodeo.

So my right JoyCon appears to be dead. It doesn't turn on even when it's connected to the Switch itself. I've tried it while both docked and undocked and it still doesn't work.

So what do I do now besides forking over $49.99 for a replacement?

Tender Bender posted:

Try manually pressing the sync button? Mine stopped responding even when docking and undocking when the onscreen instructions said that would be sufficient, but holding the sync button did it. If yours isn't turning on at all though I can't help you.

Definitely contact Nintendo though, don't buy a new one.

Skipping 2 pages to +1 this, I had issues with (actually I think the right joycon both times) randomly just "not working", holding down the sync button seemed to fix it at least temporarily

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

My favorite part of Zelda was when I read itt that someone died to the first bokoblin they saw. And I laughed.

Then I started and promptly died on the first bokoblin I saw.
