some thoughts watching the stream

- gameplay is pretty much the same
- same sound effects when opening a treasure chest, finding a secret, etc
- fuse looks real fun to mess around with and solve puzzles in goofy rear end ways
- shrines seem basically the same?


well, that's all i got before it was shut down

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

I'd be super loving wary since Nintendo sued that dude recently for some absurd amount of millions.

That was a bit of a different situation since that dude was part of a group that was selling a service to hack Switches that was raking in millions (which he, as the Discord frontguy wasn't even seeing).

Realistically its not the streamers they're gonna come down hard on but their suppliers. Also the people who put it up on the download sites.

Yeah, fair enough. They are pretty different scenarios. Hope those supply guys have some good opsec for their own stupid sake.

I hope my ToTK pro controller comes by the time the game is released. My old Pro controller is starting to really show some wear after using it for around 1200 hours on BoTW and 900 hours on ACNH among a smattering of other gameplay

Iirc it was because they were hosting roms on their own site (to install on the modded consoles).

lol this trovo stream guy just got perma suspended and annouced it while the stream was still somehow going lmao. its over now tho.

game is gonna own. it looks like botw with extras, like how MM is OoT if you know what i mean. the thing on his waist is the battery pack, called energy cell, 8 slots so i guess this is the battery icon upgrade.

the swirly glowing things youve seen in the trailers and such are the new shrines, exactly act how they did in botw but green and with a zonai twist and the firsts ones showing you how to use the new abilities. the ending of them isnt a monk or anything its a statue of the goat looking guy next to one of that other female zelda looking like character from the last trailer. you get light orbs from them meant to quell the gloom in links arm but its pretty obvious this are your stamina/heart upgrade things exactly as before

the opening is clearly structured like botw, wake up on the great skyisland, which is massive, and get 4 shrines/abilities, go to location to go to the surface, cept the intro being playable in your botw ending state

you can fuse anything to anything. apple on a stick. chicken drumstick on arrow :eyepop: boulders on shield which you can attempt to surf with and fail

I actually find it kind of heartwarming that the insane scare tactics are apparently doing nothing to dissuade the clout-chasing and people are still leaking away. Godspeed you fools.

Happy Zelda to those who celebrate! I should be off the net for a couple weeks I guess! If this game has any MGS2-ian twists, I guess we're gonna hear about it. It'll still rule though, 11 days to go.

Current running theory (afaik) is that BotW Zelda's sealing power is the complete Triforce which has been passed down through the royal family, which is why she's supposed to pray at all three springs.
when she does the big cool power explosion in the final memory (and in the final boss cutscene) all three triangles appear, so I'm pretty sure that's the intended reading, yes

i cant wait for youtube to spoil me all the big things unprompted because I looked up a Zelda video once.

Anyways, man I did a lot and haven't even gone with the main stuff! Got a better horse (the 5 stamina one though, can't distinguish the 4/4/5 and the 5/3/5 until the stable sadly), found more DLC stuff, did some quests on Kakariko and I think I solved everything at Lost Woods? Got the 4 shrines and their quests, don't want to think I have to explore more of such a teleporty area...

And now I guess I'll go get all the last towers to have the full map and then start going for shrines to get Master Sword (since I have 2 stamina wheels now) and the Divine Beasts/memories.

I remember when this was a normal but annoyingly busy day at work. Now it's surprise release day and all I can think about is getting home from work from home so I can excuse these princesses. People asking for 60s bubble letters for their logo but all Illustrator can make is triforces.

huge story poo poo huuuuuge :eyepop: im not joking i could be wrong from the thumbnail but it absolutely looks like zonai goat man plus zelda lookalike/probably hylida plus other races behind them confronting Demise pre-ss (i cant honestly tell, looks more like demise than ganondorf imo due to the hair edit: i cant really tell, i think i just want to be demise more tbh) , probably the stuff that happen that caused hylia to put skyloft up (and botw/totk zelda is there)

edit: got the video to play, its ganondorf unless they are retconning demises look but he looks very demisey for the obvious reasons got i need to get off this crack.

theres no audio in them tho, just images so its all infering lmao

That's not even really a spoiler, bunch of people showed those off in the supervised gameplay demos.

They (courtesy spoiler just in case) act as a distraction for monsters, who wander over to wherever the arrow landed and eat the meat, allowing for sneaking and backstab opportunities while their back is turned

It was in the journalist gameplay demos. It drops meat where you shoot, which can be used as bait for enemies.
