lol this fuckin’ game

Gonna own to still be finding new things in TotK six years from now, if not longer - TotK has taken longer to develop than BotW did even with them already having a map and game engine to start with, I have to imagine it’ll be even more crammed with little details like that

Even better, it wasn’t a shrine they unlocked but a dungeon, and they said that while they weren’t allowed to go inside they did get a glimpse of the interior and claimed it was like nothing we’d seen yet in BotW or any of the TotK trailers

I noticed the puddles but I guess I’d never connected them to recent storms, as much sense as that makes in retrospect

I downed my first Lynel yesterday. A blue one, west of Mount Lanayru. Cost me half my bomb arrows and a cool scimitar but looks like the weaponry I got from it is worth it, as long as it has descent durability.

I celebrated by arial bombing the nearby Hinox to death. Sorry dude, I'll beat you legitimately later.

I know AoC has serious framerate issues... is it bad enough to run the experience altogether? I still have a pass left and already have Hyrule Warriors.

The Maroon Hawk

I didn’t think the frame rate issues were a dealbreaker, plenty of spots where it’s noticeable but it really only gets bad bad (like, single digits) during a handful of fights where there’s just a shitload of stuff going on, and even that wasn’t game-breaking enough that my roommate and I weren’t able to power through it. Also I played the vast majority of the game on split screen with my roommate so it’s possible that affected it somehow.

The durability is decent but I regret to inform you that you will continue to horde it until your next lynel fight.

No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!
I still really hope there's a way to equip sets easier than selecting each individual piece.

Very much expecting Beedle to end up in the sky somehow. I hope that sky ship in the ice storm turns out to be him in there pedaling.

I really hope there's so much they haven't shown yet. The heavily gated demos are sustaining me.

It really feels like what we’ve been shown will be just the tiniest tip of the iceberg, they’ve barely shown anything that wasn’t on the starter sky island or on the great plain on the surface

I hope the Gleeok from the trailer is a sign that more classic Zelda monsters will be making an appearance. That thing in the stormcloud might be a new version of Ghoma? Maybe throw in some of the oddball stuff from Zelda 2. Those blue Darknut bosses on the hovering horses could work with the Zonai mechanical theme theyve got going on.

I would be thrilled to bits if Darknuts made a comeback, especially if their Flurry Rush is somehow modified to line up with WW’s Parry (necessary to remove their armor)

Something that I'm starting to heavily suspect re:dungeons. Spoilered in case I am right:
There is no giant network of underground caverns that are freely explorable like the sky islands. The underground areas ARE the dungeons and the dungeons are all underground. Similar to the original LoZ, except in this case, they may range in size from moody OoT treasure holes to full fledged dungeons, possibly on a scale we've never seen.

I wouldn't mind that on the whole, it would lose the chance for another sky dungeon though, which I would miss.

Why?

Just because you'd have underground be dungeons does not mean you could not have a dungeon elsewhere.

I was just going with their theory of it being exclusively that way, I would enjoy having something outside that area too.

One of the previews mentioned that they unlocked a dungeon in the sky so id say them all being the undeeground isnt right. Plus artbook...


Also, if anyone is curious one of the japanese previewers mentioned the name of the big tower building in the sky (when they shouldnt have, apparantly), the one where link is falling down from where that coffin is, what might be the starting area and he dropped the name of the place and :eyepop: its a huge spoiler potentionally fuckin temple of time baby

I partially agree with this, though I do think there will be some non-dungeon cave content, just because one of the cave areas that showed up in the (IIRC) second trailer didn't really look like a dungeon (but the ones from the third trailer do, and are probably part of whatever the fire-themed dungeon is).

But I doubt that there's a giant network of them. There are probably a number of caves just to take advantage of the Ascend ability (you could have puzzles related to stuff like finding the part of a cave that will let you access some difficult-to-reach area on the surface, etc), but I doubt it's a big network comparable to the sky island one.

There’s no fuckin way they focus so heavily on the skies in the trailers, to the almost complete exclusion of underground areas, and don’t have multiple dungeons in the sky
