Speaking of Revali, I like him as a character. I think his English dub makes him sound like more of an rear end in a top hat than his JP dub (which just makes him sound more "proud"). He's probably either my favorite or second favorite of the Champions, next to Urbosa.

😆😆😆 I definitely felt the same the first time I met him. Like, they couldn't have given that personality to the goron or something?

I feel like the kind of arrogant personality that's funny on a skinny bird-man like Revali would be a lot less likeable when attached to a giant, angry Goron.

I’m pretty sure it’s just that they’re based off of birds of prey like falcons and eagles which generally come across as prideful animals

i started up a playthrough of Second Wind, the BotW mod, in my impatience to get my hands on TotK. I only got off the plateau so far but it's definitely given me that "ooh, what's that" feeling the first BotW playthrough is full of a couple times already so i'd say it's doing its job! even the redecorated shrines, though clearly just the old shrines but with random bits of scenery stuck in and occasional new enemies/obstacles, do a great job of making it feel fresh. they do really change up the monotonous look of the shrines which does a great deal on its own already.

coolest moment so far was when a stalbokoblin popped up 30 minutes into the playthrough with one of these equipped:


it's so fun seeing stuff i've never seen before just pop up randomly like this.

It's the only mainline Zelda game I've never beaten and I gave up about where you did. I made it to the final dungeon area, kinda' and there was this thing where a slider puzzle determined room placement and after just running all around to grab bafmodads before it'd let me even get there, I turned the game off without even saving and knew I'd never return.

That game loving LOVED to waste your time and give you busywork. Not having an overworld is completely hosed. It omitted everything I loved about Zelda and did the things I've never enjoyed really, really badly. It's the Other M of the Zelda franchise.

It kills me they used up all that killer music on such an unsatisfying chore of a game.

I can’t believe you actually made it to that point in the game and THEN gave up. So many things that are so much worse than that slide puzzle section. Anybody that gave up during the underwater forest section, I completely get it.

I went down the BoTW modding research rabbithole the other day with a similar mindset and the quantity and popularity of Linkle mods is... considerable.

Second Wind does look cool, but I think I'm gonna wait (and see if I can sell my launch Switch to fund an OLED, battery life would be neat).

I haven’t played since Friday specifically because of this section. It combines the tedium of the rest of the game with underwater controls which, in my experience, are almost universally awful and unwieldy

I’m gonna try my damnest to grit my way through it cuz I’ve heard great things about the final dungeon and ending, but man, it’s frustrating :(

If you're not having fun with a video game, the pro move is to stop playing imo

Do not trust promises of "it'll be good later" when there's no guarantee you'll like it then either and you could be playing something that's fun right now!

I dropped the game for a week at the first desert section and then forgot the stupid bowling motion controls and Fi was too busy screaming about my health and rupees to fill me in. I should count my blessings I guess judging by what I've heard of the rest of the game

That dungeon absolutely slaps, though, the slider puzzle is one of my favorite dungeon gimmicks in the series.
