Good-Natured Filth posted:All this hype for TotK had me dust off my copy of BotW and play it last night. According to my save, I hadn't played since Dec 2018. I have all shrines and beat the DLC, so I figured I'd wander around and try to find some more Korok seeds. I started the night with 283 seeds. Looked at my Hero's Path to see areas I hadn't touched and tried to focus there to get more. A couple hours later, and I was at 295 Korok seeds. You'd think the world would just be saturated with Korok puzzles with 900 seeds being out there, but the map really is big enough to spread things out. I'm sure I missed some in areas I explored, too, because it's very easy to overlook things. Start over from the beginning. I can’t count how many times I’ve done that.

Vikar Jerome posted:Only good thing WW has going for it is the artstyle. Bad zelda game otherwise. Combat is easy but extremely satisfying, the only one that truly lets you mow down enemies by the dozen. Dungeon puzzle rooms slap, particularly the command melody stuff, though I wish dungeons were unified rather than puzzle room after puzzle room. Story is best in the franchise without question, whatever is second best is waaaaay down. The open world is amazing (I love the sailing, pretty much never fast travel). Music was franchise-best until BotW.

Found out that the Online Coupon things (two games on the list for $100) can be redeemed for more games than initially listed on the page, so when I got one for TotK I went ahead and used the other one for BotW (I had the WiiU version, my system died years ago). So there's my thing for the next month.

KOGAHAZAN!! posted:Much as I like Sad Ganon Covets The Wind iunno if I'd rank it that far above Majora. Or LA. Majora fair. Link's Awakening is among the worst, imo, nothing happens, the whole story is "find the eight things" with no development in between. It's a fun game, but it's really just an excuse for neat dungeons, not a compelling story in itself.

I really like how they did the Koroks. WAY more than you'd ever need aside from a useless "you got them" trophy, you just poke something that seems unusual, get a seed, and suddenly you notice that everywhere. One more way to find them. Imagine if they'd only had, say, 100 total and there were five of each different way to find them somewhere in the world. It'd be terrible.

I hope that when you fuse something to your shield, it changes how you shield surf. I wonder if you'll be able to do windbombing but, like, on purpose.

I think realizing Marin and everyone else was gone might've been the first time I teared up at a game. In my heart Marin is the one for Link, and even though I know there are infinite Links, ai still have him just roll past all the Zelda's and rutos and malons of the worlds. Link's soulmate is just a dream, probably why Ganon can never stay sealed. Link is missing the middle of the triforce because the fish woke up.

Fusing white chu jelly to your shield to create frictionless ice beneath you as you surf would be amazing. or red jelly to make sick flames shoot out behind you and raze the countryside.

I mean personally my headcanon is that webcomic where ganondorf decides to shortcircut the entire process and do a political marriage with Zelda in the process adopting the next Link with realizing it.

I rebuke timelines. Except for the case of direct sequels, each game is just a different retelling of the same legend. Kind of like ancient flood stories or creation myths.

Like, Wind Waker is a good example you would be hard pressed to describe the King of Red Lions' personality, but the scene where the King chooses to drown is still super sad and poignant. I'm not sure why or how tbh.

Since TotK will probably deal with time travel in some capacity I wonder if we’ll get any nods to Age of Calamity(even though that seems to be a separate timeline). Maybe a Terrako cameo?

I'm not sure why or how tbh. Red Lions is both your companion character throughout the game and the character driving the narrative/telling you where to go next. He's a major character, of course we're sad when he goes. In Link's Awakening, the equivalent character is uh, some fuckin bird?

I'm rooting pretty heavily for them to bring back the VAs for Purah and Robbie, especially since the artbook leak shows Purah in adult form that's basically the same model as in AoC
