Turns out I was real close to Kakariko anyway. I did a bunch of stuff. Found Hestu and the great fairy. Bought a tunic and a hood. Talked to some kind of ninja that attacked me.

Now you can go anywhere and do anything but I still recommend heading to Hateno to finish out your kit. You should’ve got a teaser for the location from Impa.

I do recommend finding Hestu at some point. I managed to completely miss him in my first playthrough, even following the game's recommended intro path, but the stuff you get from him is pretty necessary in the long run.

I didn't entirely miss him on my one and only playthrough, but I didn't actually talk to him until long after the game expects you to do so. I don't know how far into my game it was, but it was probably over 100 hours in, and I could have sworn I'd already gone over that area he's in at some point but just somehow missed him. It did mean that I had a gently caress ton of faerie poop I could trade for upgrades by the time I did find him, and was able to quickly grab a lot of upgrades on the trot though, which was nice.

Hestu is always trying to lure you to a secondary location and I do not trust him.

Yeah, I already had the main location done though if I recall; so I was able to track him down and keep trading if memory serves. It also meant I got to see his little dance quite a few times on the trot; both a blessing and, after enough of them, kind of a curse. I wonder what fascinating little moments like that Tears of the Kingdom will include. Link's joy when cooking, Hestu's dance, there are probably other examples I'm forgetting of little character beats you see a lot that just make the game more endearing. Maybe they'll have a dog petting animation in this one? They won't gently caress that up twice, surely?

I honestly thought he was leading me into a trap at first because he was always “go that way a little further, I’ll meet you later!” And then a gently caress load of monsters would try and kill you.

TotK should build on Kass and the Splatoon concept of all music being played live in universe and have bands everywhere. Every town with the city band. Every dungeon with a spooky skeleton band. Ganon's minions dooting horns during the final battle.

This legit is one of the dopest video game ideas I've ever heard and I'd loving love this.

Khanstant posted:

Then it's been too long since I've replayed because I thought I remember a few areas having awkward cameras just like OoT did in some places. In my head there's a rupee or kid hidden behind or top of a building and it's only "hidden" because the camera doesn't point that way.

Does MM have a PC port coming?

Majora's Mask seldom uses a fixed camera, and there's only two locations I can think of and one is in Clocktown: Behind the Curiosity Shop when you first enter the hallways are all on fixed cameras. The only other time I can think of a fixed camera is when you're controlling Link and Kafei trying to get the Sun Mask.

I guess you could count the Swamp boat ride and the Wagon Ride from Romani Ranch, but those are in first person so.

There's a Majora's Mask decomp in the works, maybe by the same people as the OoT decomp, but there's no release.

I haven't been using boomerangs much because I lose it any time I throw it at an enemy, but I read there's a trick where you can catch it mid air with magnesis and still use it as a weapon.

Yeah, hope they do away with the "catch" button on boomerangs and you just catch them automatically. Theyre fun but I ended up not using them much because I'd have to spend so much time hunting my dropped boomerang.

Wind Waker’s music is a swashbuckling adventure whereas Twilight Princess was just like a generic redo of OoT (in its music and everything else). Honestly I think WW has my favorite music in the entire franchise.

Plus I never get tired of watching this guy.

https://youtu.be/uRv8gnBMiWM
Yeah, I still love Twilight Princess rather a lot, but it is super obvious they had a more interesting game centered around animals in their heads before Wind Waker drew rather a lot of ire and they pivoted back to basically just remaking Ocarina of Time, which was already basically a 3D Link to the Past.

I would love to peek into the timeline where they never did that Space World demo.

Ted was explaining why he and his kid were distracted when the kid was called to board a flight and said the kid was trying to unlock Princess Peach in Super Smash Brothers and the lady working the counter said she understood, because she died in the middle of delaying a whole flight on the last level of Breath of the Wild.

ahh isn't peach unlocked in every smash by default? So close, just change one word!

Between that and White Lotus s1 also prominently featuring a Switch, I'm just more disappointed that writers don't know (or maybe don't care) about its straightforward sleep mode.

I guess they gotta get their characterization in where they can.
