ThisIsACoolGuy posted:I don't like BotW much and it's known but BotW Zelda is probably my favorite up there with Tetra I think he just needs to be more emotive. Wind Waker Link definitely has a personality of his own just from how expressive he is about stuff that happens, compared to the other Links who switch between "blank stare" and "dull surprise". Doomguy from 2016 Doom is another good example. Never says anything and you can't even see his face, but there's real personality in how he reacts to the other characters. I think we also lost a lot of BoTW Link's personality in translation. Apparently all of the quest log entries in the Japanese version of BoTW are written like diary entries from his point of view, and we didn't get any of that.

If they just actually made him a mute and wrote his inability to speak into the story it would go very far (and be pretty awesome representation for the non-verbal among us)! Imagine a Link who uses HYRULE Sign Language to communicate with his helper fairy, who then has to actually speak and/or negotiate on Link’s behalf.

Make him mute, and make the next Companion Character a dragon.

No more companion characters, just one grim adventurer alone against the world.

a cartoon duck posted:allegedly AoC outsold every other Warriors game Koei Tecmo's made, so hopefully Nintendo gets the message and makes more games with Zelda in a leading role, if not outright as a playable character. It sold more then 3 million copies in 4 days, more then any Dynasty Warriors or Warriors spin off ever has in its lifetime.

I also found Zelda's english voice to be a lot more tolerable in Age of Calamity. Her delivery is a lot less soft and overly-breathy

I turned on japanese voice acting and I think it's allowing me to enjoy the cutscenes more because I can't tell how good or bad it is. can't even really tell if the dialog is as clumsy as BotW's since reading clumsy dialog is a lot different from hearing it out loud

Would anyone here be interested in a copy of the hardback strategy guide for Breath of the Wild? It's the original one without the expansion stuff in it, though. I could turn it in for $1's credit at the local game shop, or I could give it to someone who might use and enjoy it.

I had problems with getting the master cycle zero in the BotW DLC. Specifically killing those loving hover guardians (too cheap or lazy to do them proper with shock arrows) and kept gliding off the plateau because they were wrecking me but I'd kill a couple, climb back after the rain stopped and they'd all be back. I get that bomb arrows don't work in the rain (now) but seeing those long distance kill shots is wrecking my self-esteem.

I've owned Breath of the Wild for as long as I've had a Switch (~2 years) but last week was the first time I played it for long enough to leave the Great Plateau. I just finished the main quest, so I guess I'm going to start looking up where the shrines/side quests I missed are. Is the DLC expansion pass worth it? I don't really give a poo poo about Master Mode since the only changes seem to be to make combat more tedious.

The new dungeon and a lot of the quest to get there are good, and the Master Cycle is rad as hell even if it comes along so late in the game that I was close to being done by the time I got it. I thought it was worthwhile overall.

The DLC quest is good but there's so much stuff in the main game it's hardly essential. Pretty sure you can wait till later and make up your mind then on the same save.

I thought the DLC was a little overpriced, but I had a lot of fun with the Champion's Ballad quest. The Hero's Journey tool is really helpful. The horse-warping... thing is useful until you complete the Champion's Ballad and get the motorcycle. All of the added treasure items are not helpful at all, but fun to find. Basically the whole thing adds a few extra layers of reward for exploring beyond shrines and Korok seeds, and that alone I think makes it feel more complete.

yeah i think you don't want to wait and instead get it ASAP if you're going to because the extra scavenger hunts are great fun while you're still exploring the world but very ho-hum if you've already been everywhere

You can't do the Champion's Ballad until you've beaten all the divine beasts, but the Trial of the Sword opens up once you get the Master Sword and again, the reward's much more worth having early on.
