DelphiAegis posted:That's fair. Thank goodness I can grind rupees and just pay to level them at least. I can’t stand Zelda, her move set feels so awkward to me. Luckily, you can grind rupees into your B-team so even if you don’t really like them, you can keep them around the save level of the A-team.

See and once I got an additional few combos, I actually started liking Zelda a lot more. Though I hated her at first until I figured out the giant bomb combo and her use of zr.

It'd be neat if there are new characters in BOTW2 and after it's out they get released as AoC DLC.

the one thing I am missing from the first HW is the whole rogues gallery. it gave the game a lot of charm fighting against these big personalities, having infighting go on between the villains, Ghirahim constantly backstabbing everyone, etc. Most of the time in AoC you're just fighting voiceless monsters. There's the two Yiga clan leaders and the OC villain but that's kinda it. also it still bugs me that the game has voice acting now but the battlefield chatter from your allies is still silent text that you can easily miss because you're focused on fighting.

Any quick level grind strategies yet? The best part about HW's 40+ roster was that you could always use rupees to quickly level some of the weaker characters to get them close to where you needed for their missions.

lunar detritus posted:What would be the best way to grind money? I feel I'm constantly running out. Money just seems to be tight in general, something to keep in mind is you can sell excess materials though I would keep at least 10-20 on hand in case an upgrade wants it. You do eventually unlock a repeatable "quest" that gives good money it appears in the canyon leading to the Gerudo desert and wants a hundred bananas for a thousand rupees, which you can get pretty easily by doing the Yiga hideout main mission. I didn't notice it in all the icons because it starts blue, so I'm not sure when it unlocks.

Excess Bokoblin parts are usually safe to sell, usually, but remember that polishing rusty weapons costs 30 of a monster part so you don't want to sell too many.

Speaking of this, has anyone figured out any benefits or strategy to the rust polishing? Does better materials = better result or is it just random?

I belive its just suggested next areas for you. I've had some chronically underlevelled heroes so it kept pointing to the training ground. When one of my characters weapons slots were near full, it pointed at the smith, too.

early on it points at quests that unlock useful stuff, and if your weapons inventory is nearly full it points at the blacksmith, making for a useful reminder that it's time to start fusing again without manually checking your inventory all the time if nothing else has priority it points at challenges in your level range, i believe. it probably prioritises challenges that unlock stuff, so it might be a good idea to do those first?

Age of Calamity is real good, I'm loving it. The characters all play uniquely so far, with some real crazy movesets. The monk and great fairy are both insane, and the end of chapter five characters all feel great and unique. Zelda feels the weakest since her moves all seem to take a while to pop out, so she has a hard time against Lynels. Great Fairy and Hestu are so big that it's really hard to see your enemies and perfect dodge stuff, which makes their incredible damage a bit more balanced I guess.

AoC owns bones, holy poo poo Also I can’t help but feel like the cutscene in Korok forest where Link gets the Master Sword and we see Zelda look at her own empty hand just reinforces my belief that Nintendo is building us up to playable Zelda, either in BOTW2 or, hell, they may even make it a trilogy and give us playable Zelda in BOTW3

I think a spin off series for her to star in, under the loz name, would be fun. I would like slightly different mechanics when playing as her though, as I really don't see a skin swap from Link to Zelda being that exciting.

RickRogers posted:I think a spin off series for her to star in, under the loz name, would be fun. No enemies, the whole game is running around BotW's Hyrule with the overall objective of rebuilding Hyrule Castle and the town (and other abandoned towns along the way). Like Tarrey Town but more in depth with different materials being needed instead of just wood. Also give the people living in settlements their own routine over X days and maybe they have problems you need to solve so they move to the town or build something or start producing some materials you need. Or maybe do have enemies but "combat" is just siccing Link on them.

Age of Calamity, fanfictiony as it is, is absolutely the first Zelda game I can say is really *about* Zelda and focuses on her as the protagonist. Link is there and you start off playing as him but that is largely to emphasize that Zelda isn't really combat-capable yet and he is presented in basically the same light as the Champions. Instead the thematic story is entirely about Zelda and the conflict she has between what she loves and her duty, especially the comparison between her loving relics and technology and having magic bullshit powers. The story does a great job of building up her characterization and showing her grow from unsure and lacking-in-confidence to actively declaring herself leader of armies.. It also plays off really nicely with the fact that while her father was dismissive of her interest in things besides 'get in the loving magic, Shinji' it was actually Zelda's own curiosity and compassion that saved all of them, not her magic powers. Zelda doesn't need to wield the Master Sword to be a protagonist and AoC is the best showing for her as a character as the centerpiece of the story instead of a McGuffin.

Yeah as far as Link's role in AoC goes he essentially doesn't exist after he gets the Master Sword, like he's still in cutscenes and stuff but nobody really interacts with him and he isn't a focus. Such is the fate of a speechless character I suppose.

I was pretty annoyed by this too, not because I needed it going in, but like you said, all the flashbacks kept hinting that the characters were missing something, that the prophecies were misinterpreted and Zelda was going about it wrong: Maybe she's not Wisdom after all? Maybe they did something wrong and that's how Ganon seizes the guardians? Then as I unlocked more flashbacks it became apparent that no, it's just completely straightforward, Zelda just needed to unlock her powers a different way and Ganon just took control of the guardians because of Evil Magic. It was annoying because it really felt like an interesting twist was being set up but it wasn't.
