Age of Calamity has ~2h20m of cutscenes so you could arguably turn that into a movie. It’s also the strongest example of a plot being centered on Zelda with Link as her sidekick which is honestly the best bet for a movie plot imo Not saying they should specifically adapt AoC into a movie but the general framework is there

Tender Bender posted:I don't think they'll adapt a specific game; OOT for example would be really tough to do in one movie without shortchanging either the child or adult timelines. And Zelda is like the ideal videogame franchise for an adaptation because the entire series is loosely adapting similar concepts onto different frameworks. It'll probably be a "new" story that follows the familiar beats with familiar aesthetic trappings because that's what the franchise has done over and over to great success. It's definitely gonna be this, not an adaptation of a specific Zelda game so much as a movie that hits the generally accepted bullet-points of "things that are universally recognizable parts of the Zelda IP." Like there will be a princess and Link will go on some Hero's Journey and collect the It will probably be a bit more serious in tone than the Mario movie, because that franchise was always pretty surreal and whimsical while Zelda has a more classical adventure vibe, though there might be a little bit of slapstick. Maybe some "fun" banter/romantic chemistry between Link and Zelda. It'll probably be an okay PG fantasy adventure movie, probably closest in general "vibe" to a live-action version of How to Train Your Dragon

Bumbling in to ask some BOTW questions… assuming that’s no biggie. I’m coming back to the game after a long break. I beat the water and air Divine Beast dungeons and uncovered the whole map, got the master sword, etc etc so I’m pretty decently far into the game. My issue is that I’ve always sucked at the combat and my current stock of weapons kind of sucks, so I keep getting stuck on the desert Divine Beast boss. So my questions are: 1) Is there a place I can go to re-turorialize myself on the whole combat system, kinda like the undying guy in Sekiro? 2) Is there a good place to farm or buy pretty decent swords and bows? There’s so much trash gear in the game.

Slugworth posted:The answer to both of these questions is Lynels. Lynels feel like the worst idea for a tutorial. One thing I'll say after playing ToTK is that I really undervalued Flurry Rush in BoTW, getting that off is a massive boon for combat. Practice dodging backwards and side to side with the Bokoblins as they really telegraph their attacks.

Agreed. When I get back to BOTW, I'll finish up the Champions Ballad and I admit I'm feeling a little intimidated at the thought of confronting Thunderblight again.

God, I hate Thunderblight. At least you can tank up on stat boosts and wear a rubber suit, but I still think it's unfun mechanically even when you're not dying in 30 seconds.

Wow, I just finally caught up on the thread after getting the game and bookmarking this thread on launch day. I spent 155 hours in BOTW before finishing it, and in TOTK I've already sunk 190 hours into the game. It's a really loving good game. Currently I've got 3 temples done, got the master sword, fully lit up the depths, and am tooling around looking for quests and encounters and whatever else catches my ADHD. For some content, earlier today I had The. Worst. traveling korok encounter yet. It was the one atop Mount Falora, that you have to take across the Taobab Grasslands. Long story short, I spent far and away too much time trying to get that drat korok up that drat cliff wall. When I finally succeeded in doing so, I was so frustrated, that I took out a bunch of time bombs, intending on exploding the pair after the reunion. Unfortunately for me, I chose to do this before actually uniting the pair. I think I was planning on fusing everything together, delivering the korok, then talking to them while the bombs were ticking down. So, I pull out the bombs, and go to start fusing them all together, when a fire chuchu I hadn't noticed just sidles on up. Tulin pops it, it set off all of the bombs, and the korok goes sailing halfway back across the loving grasslands. Right into the spawn zone of a gloomhands. If that had happened first, I'd have just left him to his fate, but by that point, I'd be more ashamed if I didn't get the loving seeds from them. In that same general area, there's a quest I found today, where you come across this woman sweeping up a huge garbage pit. Am I not remembering right, or was that the spot from BOTW where that one chef-wannabee was, who really sucked at cooking, and you had to help her with her recipes?

Someone in this thread called ToTK "ADHD, The Game", and it is very much that for me. I turned the game off after the embarrassment of The Korok Fiasco, but the next time I turned it back on, I decided to go fight the thunder gleeok in the coliseum near that one stable. I had never fought a gleeok before, but read a bunch of poo poo about how to properly fight them beforehand. So I prepare for a hell of a fight, cook a bunch of good food, scout the area out, climb to the top and paraglide down to get the drop on it. I expected to get my rear end handed to me, but instead I clowned that loving gleeok like I've been trouncing them since day 1. I went through like 9 arrows and eyeballs, and 2 ~50atk spears. I didn't even get hit. That's basically the only two speeds I have in this game; Pants-on-head, clown shoes retarded, and stone cold loving killer. Link may as well be named Saitama in my hands, or something. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Gleeoks are such a weird creature for me. I avoided the hell out of them the entire game. I tried fighting the one in the snowfields when you needed to get Zelda's horse for the newspaper quest and had to run away with my tail between my legs. Rest of the game I would give them a wide berth. It was when I was getting ready to fight Ganon and I decided I ought to collect the remaining Sages Wills, a number of which were locked behind King Gleeoks fights. It was actually harder to get to the arena (I never bothered building a hoverbike for most of the game) and when I got there I just... Eyeballed them to death and smacked them with my super powerful weapons. Took less than two minutes with each fight. Once I bagged my first gleeoks I went and killed the rest of them in short order. Entire time I was afraid of them, but Lynels still reign supreme as minibosses (also those gloom hands once they get within range of Link).

That's how Gleeoks were for me too, I just saved fighting them for way too long for them to be a challenge. Probably Lynels too, but fighting a couple midgame scarred me enough that I never went back to them

If you want a weird challenge, go fight a bear. They can be tough as poo poo, especially at lower levels earlier on.

Just finished the 5th temple, got 104 shrines, think I'm gonna go beat the game. I feel conflicted about this game. On the one hand it's very much a step above Breath of the Wild in a lot of ways. There's so much more to do, the quests and temples are so much more fleshed out, the world is full of little handcrafted setpieces that I definitely wanted more of in BotW. But it does hit the same issue BotW did, which is that at a certain point, well before I've completed the game, I feel like I've seen everything the game has to offer in terms of gameplay. It takes longer to reach that content plateau for sure. But once you're there, that plateau is even wider because of how much bigger the game is. There's so much more to do that's all kind of around the same level of engagement, and the same level of interaction with the world. I think the game's openness works against it in that regard, and the huge map size hits diminishing returns as you explore it. The Sky Islands and Depths are each cool and add to the game, but I'm not sure they add enough to fill a full layer of the world map, considering how much of what they offer is even more samey than what you find on the surface. I feel like for a very long time I've been at the point where every sky island is the same, half the caves I find are the same, the game's puzzles (outside of shrines) are around an equal level of "really basic mechanical interaction because everything has to fit into the same physics system" (which is both a pro and a con)". And half the shrines are tutorial puzzles, like eighty hours in I find one where the solution is "use fire to melt ice". The non-linear format also completely works against the storytelling. A lot of the cutscenes are focused on exposition rather than character moments, so you have several cut scenes focused on hinting or outright explaining the exact same thing. Which makes them really dull and redundant if you view them all which you do simply by following the game's two main quests. I.e. "This was the imprisoning war where we couldn't defeat the demon king. We could only imprison him. Rauru did something heroic that day" (repeat 5-6x, including 4 of the exact same cutscene). "Okay you're ready to learn what Rauru did... He imprisoned the Demon King." I dunno, I like this game a lot but feel torn on where I land. I think the series is in this awkward place where Breath of the Wild is the better game just by virtue of being leaner and more focused (which is a WILD thing to say about BotW), but Tears of the Kingdom has enough advancements that I can't go back to BotW.

Why didn't you just go to the ending once you reach that plateau? Neither BotE or TotK are designed for you to do everything, they very lightly discourage it.

Well I wanted to do the main plot stuff first and the game does a really good job of leaving breadcrumbs and enticing landmarks to keep grabbing my attention... And now and then I do still find something rewarding. Like the Depths is so cool! And after a while you realize it's all pretty much the same. But yeah I should have beelined the temples and tears so I could just end the game when I was ready.
