Even if the map is new it still looks the same as BoTW and as another poster said, it started out as DLC for BoTW. Of course there is going to be a ton of new stuff to do but the skeleton of the game isn't going to be new and groundbreaking.

I'm 100% sure I will play the gently caress of this game and love it though.

I don't know why you keep holding this torch. It's such a weird take.

majora's mask started out as an expansion for OoT but the N64 Disc Drive flopped so they made it into a separate game instead. starting out as DLC in the concept stage doesn't really mean much

I just meant the graphics and animations. Not the whole game. I've watched pretty much all the gameplay videos that have been released.

Play OOT then MM.

MM is the dark sequel that is best appreciated after playing OOT…IMO.

i dont remember who posted it ITT but someone said that the Island Lobster Shirt dramatically increases your speed on a raft. I tried that today and what the gently caress :psyduck: why wasn't this the default speed, this loving rules.

other poo poo i never knew: i apparently missed a non-shrine quest of kass's, and when i went back to Rito village, he was there with his kids, playing along while they sang to the town song. it was super loving cute.

I can't think of a game that made my brain explode more than the first time i played OOT. It's one of the most lifechanging experiences of my gaming life like when I first played doom.

OOT will always be the groundbreaking classic. MM is more of a cult classic that people appreciate for doing something different with the time loop and really weird atmosphere.

Depends who you ask, but MM won't hit the same if you haven't played OOT. If you're only going to play one of them, play OOT.

And if you're going to play either, get the remasters on the 3ds. Or whatever that ship of harkinian pc hack is for OOT.

you should absolutely not play majora's mask 3d unless you have a modded 3ds and can therefore revert like 90% of the pointless and lovely changes they made to it

ship of harkinian is pretty cool for OoT though.

BotW is still the only 3D Zelda game I've completed, but I had quite a bit of fun with it. Not sure I would want to go back and play the older ones that don't have BotW's systems.

exploring typhlo ruins because we know that it gets lit up in TotK from trailers, and it occurred to me halfway through that i didn't need a torch, because the master cycle comes with a built in headlamp.


this place is unfathomably creepier when you can actually see a reasonable distance!

(also because the developers only intended for you to see like 5 feet in front of you at any given time, you can actually see wolves and deer and keese pop into existence when riding around, which is a little funny. also there's a lot of spots with really low res textures for the same reason. feels like im playing a low budget indie horror game.)

Discussing specifics of NPCs, for example, is a spoiler. But it’s fine. As release approaches people who pirated the game are going to be less able to resist running their mouths. I’ll just gently caress off for a month or two.

I mean, have you ever played Link’s Awakening? It’s weird and dreamlike and kind of eerie. I can’t think of a much better description of it than “what if Zelda was more like Twin Peaks.” I’m not remotely shocked to learn that Twin Peaks was (apparently) an actual inspiration.

Edit: I initially missed that the tweet was from Mark loving Frost, because I have blue checkmark withdrawal blindness and still read every non-blue account as “some rear end in a top hat”.
