What matters is where the cartoon fits into the timeline.

Is kinda funny how Link's canon personality (such as it is) ended up being pretty much the opposite of the cartoon. Does make sense given Link is meant to be at least partly a blank slate protagonist, though that's always been common with video games. (and not just because it's easy. But definitely often because it's easy) Both that and the CD-i games seem to do the same thing in making Link an adventure junkie who's bored to tears if nothing's trying to kill him.

It gets really implicitly funny when you have BotW speedruns where he wakes up from stasis to bomb jump into the castle, steal ingredients to cook exactly one meal, and saves Hyrule within 15 minutes without ever putting on pants. I suppose that's where a blank slate protagonist pays off: memes.Icedude posted:So you're saying this isn't too inaccurate? Even some of the comments there agree it's really not far off. Probably doesn't help that 'barely functional idiot savant' is a tried and true anime protagonist formula for both action and comedy.

noclip.website now has both the N64 and 3DS flavors of OoT available for perusal. https://twitter.com/hatersgonnahate/status/1390836260864942086?s=20 I obviously remember the N64 more fondly in my memories, but seeing them alongside underscores what a nice job they did on the 3DS overhauls. Would be over the moon if they came to Switch but since the DS version of 64 seems relegated to the DS I don't have my hopes up.

I loved the texture and model improvements that they made but man the animations, especially running, just seemed off to me somehow. Maybe it's the non-garbage framerate.

Maybe it's the non-garbage framerate. i think the rest of the animations are fine though, and also they improved significantly with MM3D where most of the animation, especially for the transformations, were actually updated instead of just recreated.

Like playing any game on hard mode first, I imagine it's not that big of a deal in practice as long as you get used to how things go. I mean, early game is still hell, but people play Dark Souls. Actually, early game being one of the hardest parts, mostly due to your limited options, piddly weapons and how long it takes to get more than three hearts of health, seems a Zelda staple.

I just don't know how I could conceivably do it. I guess it makes confrontations less of a choice. Like you maybe pick a dude to pick off for his bow and move on? How do people take on whole mobs of blue bokoblins with four hearts?

It had been so long since I played the N64 versions when the remakes came out I remember thinking that the visuals were a pretty decent upgrade but they're so beyond that. I can't play the N64 versions again because they look like complete poo poo, they've aged like a fine milk. Shame too because to play the co-op mod for both you're stuck playing on the N64 version.

Okay, so my spouse and I beat Breath of the Wild (we play games like this together) and we had a few questions. Is the DLC enjoyable or is it just a bunch of really hard missions? We love the idea of multiplayer in the BotW universe, so how good is Hyrule Warriors? What enemies keep resurrecting via Blood Moon after you beat the game? It seems like the Guardians don’t, but the Lynels and other minibosses do, as well as lesser foes. Thanks in advance, posting pals.

The side quests are kinda neat treasure hunting kinda deals and the rewards are cool and useful. The Master Sword trial is horseshit but can be ignored if you feel the same.

Can you play Master Mode off the bat? I thought it only unlocked after you completed the game, but then it's been about four years since I played BotW so I can't really remember.

Amppelix posted:blood moons reset literally everything except permanent story progress. treasure chests will refill, items placed around the world will replace themselves, and yes guardians will come back. even guardian scouts inside shrines will come back! Chests do not refill during Blood Moons. There's only one overworld location with respawning chests.

My roommate and I had a blast playing Age of Calamity together, but make sure you download and try the demo before buying - they did a great job of making it look and sound like it’s in the BOTW canon, but it’s still a Warriors game and the gameplay is still fundamentally different. If you go into it expecting another Zelda game you’re going to be very disappointed.

I might be the only one here who hates AoC. It’s a totally different game with LoZ characters pasted over it. I still play it with my kid because he loves it but it is absolutely not a LoZ game in any meaningful way as far as I can tell.

Neither of the Warriors games has really grabbed me gameplay-wise, I like the idea and vibe, but I never even bothered to do a second battle in the AoC demo because it was already feeling samey to me. I've pretty much stopped thinking about it, it's okay if a side series didn't turn out to be for me.

Oh, it’s fine. I’m not mad that I don’t like it, just saying that enjoying e.g., BotW has no bearing on whether one might enjoy AoC unless the draw is just really loving the appearance of the characters.

It's a Dynasty Warriors game with Zelda characters, for me that's pretty much the perfect crossover game.

It’s absolutely not a Zelda game, it’s a Warriors game with a Zelda skin slapped on. It’s great if you like Warriors games and are into the BOTW lore - I love BOTW and even though this is my first Warriors game I’m loving that aspect too - but if you don’t like the Warriors gameplay style or you go into it expecting it to be a Zelda game, you’re gonna be disappointed I think Nintendo could’ve done a better job at clarifying this in their marketing - I see a ton of people on social media upset that it isn’t a Zelda game

It doesn't change orientation as you move. And you have like three different arrows for the characters. And initially you can only really do 3 hit combos over and over and over. A couple other attacks and two different systems for mana.

I also asked because Breath of the Wild is the first Zelda game that really appealed to either of us. She’s never played any others except maybe the first two when she was a kid in the 80s, and I think I tried those two around the same time plus Ocarina of Time when it first came out. We like the lore and art style and would love to play together.

I’ve given up on BotW2 any time soon, but it would be cool to get the anniversary release of some of the better Zelda games for the switch. I missed almost all of them and refuse to buy an old console just to play them.BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:I don't care for Hyrule Warriors. It is really not a fun game, to me.

I care for Hyrule Warriors. It is really a fun game, to me. But yeah, Warriors games are pretty divisive and I definitely understand people not being into it, same as how I wouldn't like a Zelda game that was made to be a Dark Souls type clone or RTS game. Goblin Craft posted:I have more hours clocked in Hyrule Warriors than in BOTW. By only a small margin, but something definitely clicked with me. Hyrule Warriors is also a much, much, much longer game than BotW if you want to complete it. Again, Jirard took over 1,000 hours to 100% Hyrule Warriors, and even going for all the korok seeds in BotW isn't going to get you anywhere close to that.
