It's so weird to have NPCs that seem to remember everything you could have done in BotW and also having many NPCs in the town you and Zelda live in having no idea who you are.

Mr E posted:the town you and Zelda live in On that note it was both both hilarious and aggravating that after all the money I spent on that house in BotW Zelda stole the deed and kicked me out, forcing me to build a Lego House out in the wilderness. The Dream Home's another of those things that was fun but aggravating in how I cared way more about it than Nintendo thought I would. These room shapes are bogus! The Study literally cannot even fit on the house without having a missing wall! Why only 15 rooms?! On the topic of "I cared way more about it than Nintendo thought I would." I also spent what feels like half my total playtime creating the perfect Monster Diorama in Tarrey Town. Still mad you can't actually place other models on top of the Battle Talus Model. I mean I'm being way too harsh here because I spent more than a hundred hours on this game and had a great time so it obviously wasn't bad, there's just a lot of stuff that feels half baked.

It's annoying when they put so much effort into little details in some areas, but put no effort in others.

The sign tasks got really boring after I read somewhere that you can cheese all of them with a single hover stone.

The billboards are one of those things where they’re fun if you do it “correctly”, in this case using the specially selected pile of objects next to each one, but becomes a boring annoyance if you ever figure out a “one size fits all” universal solution like in this case the hover platform. Or like shrines if you ignore the puzzle and just use bomb arrows on the target. It’s why I had a rule to never use my inventory for shrine puzzles/signs. I paid money to solve Zelda puzzles and by god I’m going to solve Zelda puzzles.

Zelda spent 100 years locked in a battle with Calamity Hitler. But this new guy is named Hitlerstein. Totally different dude, don't worry about it.

Addison's hudson construction signs were one of my favourite additions to the game, and I love both BotW and TotK a lot.

I too got annoyed at building the house of weirdo blocks so turned it over to my 6 year old son, an expert in building with weirdo blocks. He made this super hosed up MC Escher house that makes absolutely no sense, and it owns way more than anything I was coming up with

In guessing that the building block house in TOTK was something they wanted back in BOTW but didn’t have the time to implement or maybe the horsepower of the WiiU wasn’t enough.

Weirdly I did not mess around with the house building at all in this game, even though it seems 100% up my alley. I'm a magazine layout designer though so I spend all day every day moving things around in grids and I don't feel like doing that in my off time. (thank God I didn't have this job when New Horizons came out.)

I built a few rooms mostly so I had a place to display the Wind Waker boomerang I found. I was broke as a joke for most of the game and needed that cashmoney to upgrade my outfits.

the Hateno house in BOTW was nice because you are often in Hateno. The TOTK house isn't good enough to make a separate trip to this weird empty field otherwise

(thank God I didn't have this job when New Horizons came out.) Honestly it's a bit too basic to play with for any real amount of time, which I find strange considering the amount of weird poo poo you can do with all the other building of vehicles etc in the game. I would have thought that you'd be able to not just get complete rooms, but things like various walls and furniture to go a little crazy and make some interesting homes. But that's probably just asking for an Animal Crossing style sub game and considered too much. And I'm still mad that there was never any Zelda goods in the most recent AC or a special appearance by Kass (he would have been an amazing crossover). Also I still miss Kass.

Yeah the house building is also weird because there's at least a Lynel and a Hinox relatively close to the site so it doesn’t ever feel truly homey like in Hateno. But given how the Hateno house is treated, that building will either be a new Hyrule Castle or the family's vacation home in a future game.

They aren't coming back to this map anymore, but I wouldn't be surprised if another game had that house razed to the ground and a mansion built in its place.

So on that note, here’s an interesting thought: while Aonuma explicitly said they most likely wouldn’t be using the same map, in the same interview he also explicitly left open the possibility that the next game will still be another sequel - what would y’all think of the next game still using the same characters, art style etc, but set in a different world a la OoT/MM? Personally I’d be all for it - seeing something other than Hyrule could be cool, and these incarnations of the Hero and the Princess are by far my favorite

Where is the Triforce??? My pitch would be finishing up the series as a trilogy with a final game involving Zelda investigating the Temple of Time and accidentally sending Link on a millennia-spanning adventure that reunites the Triforce across time to presumably beat some new Ganon. Should include Cyberpunk Sheik in Neo-Hyrule at a minimum. Just feels to me like we’re due a good Hero of Time arc. Either way, with respect to Aonuma’s comments, the true ending for TotK definitely feels like it’s saying Zelda is on the path to recreating Hyrule and not just remaining a quirky archaeologist in the present day. Given that a majority of the “plot” in BotW/TotK is presented as Zelda’s coming of age story (told out of order), restoring Hyrule and becoming its ruler—or rejecting that!—seems like the obvious place to take her story. There’s just enough there that makes me feel like an MM-style story is unlikely, and we’ll see something that caps off the story of this Link and Zelda.

galagazombie posted:3: The plot in addition to being a very standard Zelda plot, was surreally bizarre. Some new badguy shows up named Ganon just like Ganon, controls the Bloodmoon just like Ganon, Spills the same spooky health draining red-purple smoke over everything as Ganon, Has the same backstory as Ganon, etc. And at no point does a single character say "Wait a minute so is this the guy from five years ago?". The game also can't seem to decide whether Link was a completionist who 100%'ed BotW who everyone personally knows or if he was some speedrunner who killed Ganon with 3 Hearts and never met a single NPC. You don't know Gerudo, maybe the -dorf suffix indicates some sort of negative. His name could mean "Totally Not Ganon" for all you know.

Same map, same characters, but in addition to the verticality of TotK, make Link able to travel up and down the timestream with every specific timezone it's own entire Hyrule with characters, locations, missions and side missions etc that all interact with each other based on the order you do them in

rko posted:What I’d like to see is the goddamn Triforce. Where is the Triforce??? Same place it is in BotW! Zelda has it. It shows up in the memory you get after obtaining the Master Sword, where it's glowing on her hand, although it's hard to see. You can briefly see it on the credits screenshot for it. It doesn't pan up the image high enough to see the full triforce, but you can see it the bottom two triangles.

I think a new world would also make more sense because at the end of TotK you actually destroy Ganondorf/Ganon, as opposed to simply sealing him away like most games, so it would make more sense to introduce a new/other villain and that would just be weird to do while still in Hyrule

If they're making an all new map, it almost certainly will take 5 or 6 years. But if there's anyone I trust to make one, it's Nintendo/Monolith Soft.

Problem is he's just too stubborn to stay dead no matter how "final" the previous game made his death. LoZ: Killed AoL: Confirmed as dead, minions want to revive him. LttP: Killed LA: Doesn't appear OoT: Sealed MM: Doesn't appear WW: Has a sword violently thrust through his skull and into his gray matter and then turns to stone. Which the former is pretty lethal but petrified monsters with magic items impaled on them with "Sealed ancient evil: Do not remove sealing artifact" written on them is literally how TotK starts... TP: Dead via sword impalement followed by neck snapping. SS: He's kinda sorta not in it, but kinda sorta him dies and says actual him will be born later to be a jerk. LBW: YugaGanon just kinda explodes? BotW: Crisis of Infinite Ganon's is killed forever, totally, completely, no more Ganons forever. TotK: So here's this guy named Ganon... Oracle Games: He's dead, gets partially revived, then rekilled. DS games: PH was so bad I never finished it to see if ganon was in it and left such a sour taste in my mouth I didn't even try ST.

Hudson, you just sent your daughter in a flying machine to, literally, the opposite side of the loving kingdom. Your homes are well-suited for a wide variety of environments because they don't have to stay stuck with a single type of footprint, they break down into individual, easily-transportable pieces, and you trust air travel in this game to the degree that you let your only daughter use it to cross the entire kingdom at the height of Ganondorf's power! Let me build my house someplace useful!
