I don't think that box art is real... in fact I think it is a fake.

They never posted it, this is the box art from the official press kit that infinitum posted earlier in the thread.

This game has bomb arrows? I really hope there is a crafting system for items and such. I want bomb arrows, I want a million of them.

Link not being able to punch is a travesty and I demand that Nintendo fix this right now.

Also add in boxing gloves.

Kinda looks like the Great Plateau is floating? Also it's Castle Town from OOT?


I got that from HERE in case you're interested.

13 hearts with the green tunic is basically 3 hearts. Ganon does so much damage and you have to spin attack to even hurt him with the l2 sword. It's awesome.

I did a minimalist run of A Link to The Past a few years ago, it was really fun. The hardest boss for me was Trinexx, gotta make sure you have a green potion.

I might actually try another later on this year, but I still wanna play through Twilight Princess, Majora's Mask, and Link Between Worlds again. Working 50 hours a week sucks.

Escaping the castle at the beginning of the game no longer requires the lamp.

I could have sworn I did this on the SNES version like 18 years ago


Skyward Sword is a good game and I enjoyed playing through it, but the motion controls were far from perfect. I honestly cannot blame anyone who had trouble with them

I really hope I can grab a frog and hang out with the frog and bring him all over post-apocalyptic Hyrule with me and then maybe use him to reflect a lightning attack back at Gannon

When you pick up the frog you get frog legs as a cooking ingredient

So I was in a local non-Gamestop buy sell trade game store the other day and noticed in their collection of SNES games a couple of Legend of Zelda carts that were not Link to the Past. I've been trying to remember what the hell their names were but quick Googling doesn't bring up anything. It was also interesting because they were about 80 bucks a pop so it wasn't something I could just pick up and see what the hell it was.

Probably BS Zelda, Parallel Worlds, and Goddess of Wisdom. They are ROM hacks (except BS Zelda that is from the Satellaview) in repo carts. $80 is too high unless they come with all the packaging, you can get just the carts on ebay for like $40.

Harrow posted:

Yeah, they're really tied to a specific set of characteristics for Link and for Zelda and I think they'd see a female Link as fundamentally not Link (hence Linkle's existence) and a male or even an adventuring Zelda as fundamentally not Zelda. Maybe that's also why any time Zelda actually does any adventuring herself, it's either under an assumed identity where she uses her magic to masquerade as a man (Sheik) or because she doesn't know she's Zelda (Tetra).


She went adventuring as herself in Skyward Sword just fine. Granted Impa did get involved at some point and helped her out.

Give me a game where I play as Impa, thanks.

Variety is going to be key. I like the sound of 4 main dungeons and cojaffee is right that there are usually 2 really new, great dungeons per game and others tend to just exist so more time focused on smaller dungeon amounts will probably mean better dungeons

the 100 shrines doesn't ease my mind on the worry that most of the game will be filler though. A map that keeps getting talked about for how massive it is, and there are 4 dungeons? 100 shrines sounds great at first, but how do you make 100+ shrines not feel samey and dull by like shrine 30? How big are these shrines? Like a puzzle room like that one room in TP with the ice blocks? I keep picturing shrines like those random caves you'd find in OoT or MM, little holes in the ground with a single thing of interest, which is cool, but again, 100+?

Im worried most of the game is going to be wandering around looking for something genuinely interesting to do

I'm kinda worried about this too. If there are only four big dungeons and they are inside the giant robot animals I hope the insides aren't all the same.

I hope they don't take out Heart Pieces, if they do what other collectable items will we be searching for in the wild? Bugs, Poes, Shrines, and Korok?



VanSandman posted:

What would be neat is if heart pieces/stamina upgrades/magic upgrades were spread around the world somewhat at random and you could find them as you explore OR you could pay in-game rupees for the location of the next upgrade of a specific type.

bring back Tingle to sell me the maps please

Amazon, but I don't have that fancy Prime thing and I chose the cheapest shipping option. Wasn't expecting to get it on release day but I was hoping it would ship.
