Hey uhh

Having hardly engaged with any Zelda in the 90’s, how did we go from Ganon the pig villain to Ganondorf this redhead guy

It happened in two Zelda games released in the 90s. A Link to the Past's backstory mentions a guy named Ganondorf who wished on the Triforce and became Ganon the pig villain, then Ocarina of Time was about that guy named Ganondorf who wished on the Triforce and became Ganon the pig villain.

iirc Ganon having a human form before he turned into a pig man was mentioned in ALttP. Ocarina of Time was the first game where they actually showed him as Ganondorf and he only turned into the giant pig in the final battle

If you see something suspicious, bomb it!

Ganondorf is the scientist and the pig is technically Ganondorf’s Monster. “Ganon” is a nickname like Nessie or Satchmo.

Why is it always "Frankenstein's monster", but never "Bram Stoker's Dracula"?

Anybody know about the pro hud (if it has one)

I hope so. It's so weird seeing BotW being played with the normal HUD. I know Link essentially has a smart phone, but with the full HUD it's like he's staring at the screen the entire time. No good!

I also got my shipping notification today and it’s wild that my physical copy is just out there, in the world, existing, but not in my home.

Same, got mine off Amazon and my wife also ordered a bunch of stuff for our 4-month-old. So now every time I get an Amazon delivery email my heart skips a beat that maybe they accidentally delivered the game early just to find out it’s another baby nose sucker device or something.

I really wish the BotW HUD had options. I wouldn’t mind the mini-map being on now and then but the rest of it is way too much. Thankfully I have the whole map so memorized that I don’t really need any of it.

learned how to do a really easy duplication glitch today in BotW and im wondering if the main reason elemental arrows have been replaced with "Staple chu-jelly to an arrow" is because that was the only way they could fix the menu overload glitch

(i can't wait to see what kind of bullshit glitches we DO find in this game tho, lmao)

Ocarina of Time's story was meant to be the backstory elements mentioned in the manual of LTTP before they got all cute with the timeline and hosed it all up.

It was the events of the Imprisoning War.

Now everything's all weird and nothing matters anymore because they just randomly stuck most games in one of three separate timelines basically randomly and in ways that don't make any sense when you think about them for more than a few seconds.

Do you mean nothing matters as in "you don't like it and don't care about it and won't entertain it" or did the change invalidate something that mattered to you before?

I mean it kinda' two ways: it was more fun to me when the timeline mattered, but now that it doesn't, that also pretty much doesn't matter and we can just play the games and take them as they are.

Pro hud same as botw, hides hearts now dynamically. Dunno about master mode, i would say its probably dlc again

The hidden heart hud is nice. Not surprised that master will most likely be DLC.

Hopefully it'll be more than just higher tier monsters and is actually more balanced this time.

The first time I actually despised the weapon system was in master mode during trials of the master sword. Just resorted to throwing bombs around to conserve weapon HP and it was not fun.

Does this game seriously still have weapon durability?

Like I'm reading this dumb article about how tears of the kingdom 'fixed' the durability problem from botw...

quote:

Because of this, durability will not simply be a source of frustration that drives players to conserve their weaponry and shields. Instead, every broken weapon will be an opportunity to try something different, to search the surrounding environment for new combinations with their own unique potential.

The fusion system sounds cool but I don't see how this fixes the durability issue in any way? Botw had a lot of different stuff you could switch too as well and I don't think that's why people hated the durability system.

If you haven’t made peace with durability in 2023 then just don’t play it, it’s not very difficult. It’s way past time to kick that rotting horse.
