I read someone describing this and thought 'no way it's that cool' and actually it turned out to be cooler

So what's the over/under on this being possible in Breath of the Wild

and yet I bet you anything it'll be a tight coherent package, something link is known for

for real the last time I was this excited about a zelda at e3 was when I was a tween with a nintendo website downloading wind waker videos from nintendo's 'media server' which made me feel very important

yeah in a jrpg if you miss out on the story you're missing a big part of the game, in zelda, not so much

Be careful about imagining potential, you'll overhype it and not enjoy the game as much as you would.

BoTW is giving me the same feeling I had seeing articles and Space World screenshots of Zelda 64 back in the day. This idea of an expansive, sprawling world to get lost in is finally a reality!

when I heard about zelda 64 I didn't know who link was, I thought zelda was the attractive girl in green you played as

alternatively it'd be interesting to see a modern take on the super dense but very focused world of MM. take a break from the wind waker style for a while

Maybe Nintendo fired all their graphic designers which is why all their box art comes from soup cans and cereal and lotto tickets now

wow is there a game from 1991/92 that has aged better than AlttP? Jesus Christ

I think that they could make a game like ALBW and have it be awesome like 20 years after ALTTP came out is proof that ALTTP has aged very well. Like, I don't think people understand the concept of aging well

my thoughts are you have to take old games on their own terms, so like, you wouldn't say LoZ sucks cause it doesn't have 8 way run- cause the game is very well balanced around the 4 way system. if that makes sense.
thats a separate issue from the aging thing, but yeah.

i would definitely say this

but like what I mean is if you can't make that mental adjustment to more primitive systems you won't be able to enjoy the games on their own terms. which is fine I guess, it just doesn't seem like a fun way to approach old games to me

It's the original Link amiibo for Smash Bros.

Epona's stats are max'd out, with max bond, and a gentle temperament.

Supposedly it's a one-time summon as well, so get your arse to the Stables pronto to register him before you get him killed.

epona is a girl, just like link

I love the little things in this game.

Like when you teleport to Kakariko or Hateno, you don't just teleport there. You teleport to a shrine above the town (or the lab in Hateno) and hang glide into town. I look forward to it every time :3:

hellll yeah its so sick

If dungeons are the thing you want in your Zelda games it's not very surprising that this game isn't your thing.

if you go around w/the main goal of unlocking shrine warps on the map, and then do like 4 or 5 shrines + maybe a beast or a labryinth in a row its about as much content as a traditional dungeon, albeit w/that repetitive look to it

I first played Twilight Princess on the HD version last year. I had avoided it previously because everyone always said it was awful. Sure enough, it had long boring sections at the beginning...but then its dungeons and boss fights rapidly propelled it to my favorite 3D Zelda, even over Wind Waker. I'm a bit nervous about typing this, because I know saying you prefer Twilight Princess to Wind Waker is heresy.

I enjoyed playing Twilight Princess HD last fall WAY more than I've enjoyed Breath of the Wild so far. Maybe I'll come around on this. I want to like this game.

when TP gets going the dungeons are really excellent, its true. but try balancing your exploring/shrine playing differently in botw if you want it to be more like a normal zelda structure, thats what worked for me

How forgettable are these bosses though? If you tell me "The boss of OOT (blank) Temple" I'm going to immediately remember the fights with Phantom Ganon, or Volvagia, or Bongo Bongo, but if someone is like "The boss of the Rito Divine Beast" I don't remember a single thing about that fight, or any of the Divine Beast bosses at all.

I know exactly what you mean. There were some good fights in BotW but they're not really memorable. Maybe its harder to make memorable 3d bosses these days in this post souls world i dunno
