I'm really hoping that the costume is treated as the plot coupon this time. Like you brave the dungeon to get your enchanted shoes, belt, and, eventually, the legendary hat.

Mordaedil posted:Honestly that is on people expecting too much. I kinda knew that it'd be exactly what it was, except I did expect it to look maybe a tad better than what it did, but I wasn't hugely disappointed. Yeah, the crappy characters and jumbled plot sunk it more than the bland open world. It's to be expected given how many scripts were blended to make it.

I doubt they'll go full on Bethesda and let you slaughter towns for fun or let random monsters kill them all.

ozza posted:I've just finished playing through Spirit Tracks, and though I enjoyed it I thought that the developers needed a little longer to work on the implementation of rail travel. It just takes way too long to travel between points, and the world feels smaller for not being fully explorable. I would have been happier even with a style of overworld travel that was like the boat in Phantom Hourglass / Wind Waker - the tracks could have magically just appeared under the train wherever it went. Aside from that, I did enjoy it though - especially the central role of Zelda, and the fact that she had a different personality than usual. Spirit Tracks had some of the best personality in the series. I would love to see an enhanced remake of Spirit Tracks at some point. Keiya posted:Her rant in the tower when she tells you to go off and adventure while she stays behind is one of the best bits of dialogue in the entire series. Between that, the super-girly Phantoms under her control, and generally being hilarious, Ghost Zelda is my second favorite fairy companion in the series after Midna.

If they do that nonlinear dungeon design again, I want to see challenges for items instead of just some jerk in a shop. It's nowhere near as rewarding to the way ALbW did it.

Cleretic posted:My favorite of those was the Twilight Princess Iron Boots being a tool with which to not get schooled at Goron wrestling. That worked really well as a justification for what's honestly one of the weirder Zelda staple items to justify, as well as doing really well to imply its other purposes. Yeah, that's the kind of thing I want. That the Gorons don't seem to notice or care that you're blatantly cheating them is a plus for downplayed humor. I kind of like the idea of dungeon items being less inexplicable boomerangs in chests and more like items or weapons improvised or stolen from enemies as well. Like the ball and chain from Twilight Princess: something taken not as a reward, but just an item kept because it looked useful. It feels a lot more organic. The spinner was kind of similar since it was implied to just be an elaborate key for the machinery in the prison Link decided to hold onto afterwards despite not being particularly useful outside the area.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:Apparently she was just messing around in a stream and a random person told her that the plant looked thirsty, so she emptied the forest water before going for the final blow. The next day she decided to record this video to see if it was actually the water that did it and now we have found a new secret. Man, I wish that this was an in-story thing. Instead of hacking the plant to death, you just fight it long enough to purify it with holy water to prevent it spreading.

Anyone else loving how terrifying the Big G’s resurrection is here? He’s a gnarled corpse held with glowing corpse arm and eerie runes that give hushed whispers before he snaps back to life.

Freaking Crumbum posted:i just hope the next antagonist has a more coherent plan than Calamity Ganon is so deeply corrupted by age and hatred that it could barely be called sentient anymore. It’s more of a natural disaster than a character. That’s part of why most people refer to the thing as “it” instead of “he” now: there isn’t much of a mind left in the thing. From what we saw in the trailer for the sequel, it seems that Calimity Ganon really was just some sort of emanation of the real deal. If that corpse is Dorf himself, I imagine that he’ll be more coherent and dangerous than the cyborg spider/evil cloud we faced in the original Breath of the Wild.

MonsterEnvy posted:No he plans to enslave the world and rule the gently caress out of it. His wish is to bring Hyrule back to the surface and make it his. And he still tries to kill Link several times. He flat out demands that the Triforce give Hyrule to him. He’s more thoughtful now, maybe a little tired of it all, but he’s still the same villain as ever.

Freaking Crumbum posted:i tried to get excited about horses at first but they end up being so loving finnicky about even the slightest dip or lip in the ground and suddenly they're coming to a full stop or throwing you or falling themselves and then throwing you. meanwhile link can climb surfaces with negative angles in the rain while being shot at by military helicopters, so my love affair with the horses quickly died off. This is why I never bothered with horses more than absolutely necessary. There are other ways to improve the speed of hiking across Hyrule than them that are far less difficult to deal with.

Cartoon Man posted:That was big but still not the same scale of the Divine Beasts. But you’re right, they could still make it work, I’m just struggling to imagine it unless the Divine Beasts get shrunken down or something. There would have to be some funky scaling going on to avoid looking like you’re stepping on a bunch of ants the entire time.

The Maroon Hawk posted:Hell no, go darker like they did with Twilight Princess People claim that Twilight Princess was so dark, but it honestly wasn’t that different than normal beyond aesthetics. The Twilight monsters were freakish, but beyond that, it was pretty standard Zelda fare. Hyrule was nearly taken over, but that’s normal. Link beat back the invasion and got to run through a fairly lively land with a lot of allies and a sassy sidekick/love interest(?). Breath of the Wild was already darker than it given that we exploring the ruins of a dead Hyrule with no companionship and have to survive off whatever we can get because we failed the last time. Ocarina of Time had Link slowly lose everything that grounded him in his old life and battled through Hyrule that endured seven years of Ganondorf’s destructive malice. Majora’s Mask took place in a twisted mirror of Hyrule that was constantly throwing Link into surreal and disturbing situations. That’s not even getting into the constantly ticking doomsday clock and maniacally-grinning moon creating constant pressure and dread for the player. Hell, even Windwaker’s world was bleaker than Twilight Princess’ after we leaned the backstory and that there was no hope of ever restoring the now-destroyed Hyrule of the past. Twilight Princess was certainly edgy and weird, but is was far from the most grim setting in the franchise.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:Something I desperately want BotW 2 to do: allow you to disable the goddamn enemy music. There's nothing I hate more than soaking in the beautiful atmosphere of the game, only to have it constantly interrupted by the obnoxious and repetitive enemy music. Half the time I could just run past the enemies, but I kill them just to shut the music up. It’s meant to be a warning to the player that the enemy has seen you and is attacking. It also identifies who is attacking you. You notice that you don’t get the music if you sneak around the enemies? That’s why.

We only got to use them in one area and we didn’t get anyone in the civilization except for the robot workers.

DanielCross posted:My only issue with Link's Awakening on Switch is mostly that it's...well, Link's Awakening, but again. It's a polished-up version of the original game, all of the good stuff and none of the bad, and that's great! But if you're someone who's already played the original, I don't think you'll get anything new out of the experience by playing the Switch version. Like, after finishing it, I kinda felt like, "Well, I could have just replayed the original on my 3DS and had about the same amount of fun." That’s my big problem with a lot of remakes. New models and music don’t change the fact that the foundation is outdated. Especially here as we’re talking about a Gameboy game from 1993, but now at more than double the original price.
