I knew there were AoL rom hacks that made the game a little friendlier but I had no idea there was a full on PC remake that adds a ton of improvements and areas to the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5-dKL4S898 https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/v1if4a/aoloc_zelda_2_fan_game_zelda_ii_enhanced_pc/ posted:Hi Reddit, my name is HoverBat and I made a Zelda II fan game.

So I'm realizing that the combination of using ultrahand and recall to create custom moving platforms anywhere in the world could be kind of broken. UH a platform to the top of a cliff then back down, get on and recall up. Send a platform around above a moblin camp then get on and use it as a mobile assault platform. Get across water, or anything else. It owns but it might be too much of a one size fits all solution

Captain Hygiene posted:Why do people get so weird about stuff like this? It's perfectly fine to not like the voice acting in a game, dropping an incel equivalency feels kind of offputting. I'll cop to falling into the same trap, of bandwagoning onto some comments about performative dislike for the acting, and escalating further.

Re: Voice acting, I think the talent is fine I agree with several people here that the issue is direction, there's a lack of consistency in how certain characters speak. And mixing. Everyone kind of just sounds like they're standing in a booth. I don't know enough about sound mixing to get specific but everyone always sounds a little too clear and close by considering how much of the game is set outdoors. Hell, even Matt Mercer in the trailer sounds a bit off imo. His performance is fine, it's just too... clean? Am I crazy?

The way I've had it described to me, and I agree with it, is that Zelda sounds like a total dork trying to sound posh and sophisticated and that's fine because she is

The voice acting didn't stand out to me as too bad but other than recently playing Witcher 3 my experience with voice acting in games stops at like Shenmue 2.

I don't really have a problem with anyones voice acting per say, beyond that it still feels vaguely transgressive that everyone has voice acting beyond grunts/yells. Like Matt Mercerdorf sounds fine but like... there's words in Ganondorfs mouth now. Don't feel right to me.

The voice acting seems good to me, for what the game and series is. The entire draw of the Zelda series is basically that it is a more-or-less fixed set of elements (themselves heavily rooted in cliche) remixed and retold in various ways for decades. Having hard-hitting subversive VO direction almost seems like it would be against the spirit of it all.

Banjo Kazooie and Animal Crossing perfected NPC voiceovers but other games are too weak to copy their good ideas.

Wasn’t the religion of the game going to be Christianity for a minute before they made one up? Not that it was a long walk from trinity to triforce. The end of OoT is the Easter story of you really think about it? I’m clearly not the person to map this out.

Can BoTW be set to Japanese voice acting with english subs? Honestly I thought Gannon's va in the ToTK ads sounded terrible and I'd like to see other language options when it comes out.

Link's shield did have a cross in the original and I just read the magic book was actually called the Bible in Japan and you know it makes sense. In Catholicism, when the Bible is used with a magic wand it gains the power of flame.

Overtly Christian Zelda does exist, though, and it's called Spiritual Warfare.

A Link to the Past also features an obviously Christian church and Link prays like a Catholic to open the desert palace but I think that's the extent of it. I don't think mirroring Christianity was necessarily the intent rather it was probably incorporating real religious elements which in some instances were Christian and in others, other religions.

Costco Meatballs posted:So I'm realizing that the combination of using ultrahand and recall to create custom moving platforms anywhere in the world could be kind of broken. I'm pretty sure these new abilities can definitely be heavily abused, but it owns how flexible they are. I feel like one ability it's going to take a while for people to become used to is Ascend. There are a lot of situations where you can use it but your brain, trained by decades of playing other platformers, will be thinking "how to climb on top of this thing." Or you'll be trying to use Ultrahand to figure out something that can be dealt with far more easily with Ascend. There were a couple parts where I thought I needed to build a bridge and looked around for materials (which didn't exist), and only afterwards realized I could simply drop below the other end and Ascend up into it.

I spent time on this one puzzle trying to ultrahand something together to maybe pull this chest towards me or get over to it and actually it wasn't a puzzle it was literally just sitting there and you can walk up to it after hopping the small platform it was on.

I remember trying to reach a ledge in the OOT Fire Temple that I just needed to jump across and grab onto. Missed the first attempt, figured it was too far, then spent 24 hours severely overthinking it before I tried jumping again.
