There's a Smash Bros mod that recolors Ganondorf so he looks like Trump, replacing all his voice clips with Trump sound bites. I used to think it was funny.

It's just got this weird air of despair about it. Like everywhere you turn you are confronted with death. Heroes who have already met with it (whose skins you wear). People wrestling with or desperately trying to escape from it. People resolutely refusing to even consider the possibility of it. People coming to terms (or not) with the inevitability of it. It's a game about decay, death, and the end of the world, dressed up in bright cheery colors and a funny costume.

Neddy Seagoon posted:You're forgetting the Clock itself. The bell is this echoing gloomy chime that is anything but pleasant, and when it starts tolling repeatedly during the final six hours it is downright depressing. I love how you can hear the clock no matter where you are in the world. If you're in a cave or dungeon, it sounds slightly distorted, and if you're underwater, it's all warbly, but the toll of the bells reaches you no matter where you go. You cannot escape your fate. You cannot hide from time.

The weird thing about Fi is, from a purely technical standpoint, she's by far the most knowledgeable Adventure Assistant™ in Zelda history. She has multiple tiers of information on basically every enemy, NPC, item, location, boss, and puzzle in the game. It's just that actually getting to this information is such a slog that no one ever sees it. Press the Fi button, watch an animation, wait for Fi to ask what you want, navigate a menu, navigate another menu, maybe possibly learn something helpful narrated to you very slowly. A single use of Fi can pause the action for 15-20 seconds, and feel like even longer. A more intuitive UI with more immediate options, the ability to speed up her text, and an option to turn off her gameplay interruptions so she is seen as more of a helpful assistant than an ever-present nuisance could've really helped her and SS as a whole.

I've thought for a while now that it'd be cool to have Zelda games that focused on other pieces of the Triforce and let you play as their respective holders, with tweaked gameplay to match. The Wisdom title would have you play as Zelda and solve physics puzzles with cool magical abilities while defeating enemies with stealth and trickery, and the Power title would be a character-action game made by Platinum where you play as Ganondorf and stylishly kick the poo poo out of your enemies while "solving" dungeons by turning all the doors into rubble. They could even tailor the villains so to show the potential dark side of other Triforce pieces, with kind of a rock-paper-scissors thing going; Zelda would be saving her kingdom from a military coup lead by one of the knights (Wisdom>Courage), and Ganondorf could be liberating his people from deceitful and manipulative Hyrulian Queen who has somehow turned them against him (Power>Wisdom).

Cleretic posted:The only motion controls I feel really worked were Metroid Prime 3 and Trauma Center. And with those the focus wasn't on motion, it was on pointing, which the Wii was actually pretty good at. Skyward Sword wasn't garbage at motion controls, but they weren't amazing. Metroid Prime 1 was fantastic with motion controls because it let you curve homing shots around obstacles by locking on and then firing at an angle. Nothing more satisfying than stun locking space pirates with the Wave Beam from complete safety while they haplessly shoot their pitiful direct-fire lasers into the indestructible wall you're hiding behind.

I 100% games that have some kind of worthwhile reward for doing so, like the Climax Bangles in Bayonetta. The only game I've ever 100 percent completed for the hell of it was Metroid Prime, and that was more me looking for all the hidden lore and exploring the world than actually consciously trying to 100%. So yeah, I generally don't 100% Zelda games. I think I fully completed Link's Awakening, though that happened more from boredom and took several years due to it being the only game I could play at my grandparents house. Generally speaking, the only thing Zelda side quests have to offer is Heart Pieces, and I can think of no more underwhelming reward than a fourth of more health I don't need (a fifth in Twilight Princess, which, incidentally, can gently caress right off ). I saw in an interview that they broke with a lot of Zelda traditions in BotW. I hope endless heart pieces is one of them. Give me something cool to quest for, damnit!

I have clinical OCD and am a 100% freak (see my LttP post earlier where I spent two weeks looking for a quarter-heart), and that game had 52 loving heart bits. Seriously? I definitely did not get all the heart pieces in MM, but I did get all the masks. Like I said, if the reward is worth it, I'll do it. And the  mask was definitely worth it.

I'd be happy to buy cool-but-unnecessary upgrades with my orbs. Like ice bombs, or enemy-seeking arrows, or sword beams! loving love sword beams. Skyward Sword will always have a place in my heart for bringing sword beams back to Zelda.

Actually, I just thought of another possibility; what if these orbs are replacements for heart pieces? Like you can use them to buy additional heart containers if you want to, but you can also use them to buy more stamina, faster running/climbing, a better bomb-throwing arm, etc. I think a mix of old/new systems would be cool; they could still award you heart containers for beating major storyline bosses, but past that, it's up to you to decide how much health you need to win and what you want your questing to give you.

So far, I feel like any lack of enemy variety is made up for by the depth of enemy behavior. They all seem like they have a variety of attack patterns and behaviors based on the weapons they wield and their environments. I tripped out the first time I chased a Lizalfos into the water and it started swimming around and spitting water at me. I actually find them more annoying to fight when they don't have weapons, because I can't figure out how to consistently dodge their tail sweep and tongue attacks. My primary complaint is lack of custom controls. Come on, Nintendo. It's 2017. Let me move my loving buttons around.

So, today was Operation Map This loving Kingdom. I literally just went in and scoped as many towers as I could with map pins and tried my damnedest to get to each one, avoiding every encounter because, again, weak as gently caress. I like how even the towers are little puzzles, like the one in the desert surrounded by the tar pit, or the one in Hyrule Field protected by Guardian turrets. Did run into a couple glitches though; one of the shrines failed to spawn the orange sphere that would allow me to complete it, and I spent about fifteen minutes trying to figure out what the gently caress before I just reloaded and it was there. Bad Nintendo!  Also, after exploring the lofty desert peaks, for some reason I seem to have gotten stuck with the "snow" ambience being on at almost all times. The only time it goes away now is when another effect supersedes it, like rain. It's kinda weird to have frosty fog and little white snow particles appearing in an 85 degree jungle.  Anybody else run into that problem? Playing the Wii U version, btw. It persisted though a reload, so I'm gonna try to cut the game off and see if that helps.

Okay, I'm kinda at my wits end here. I am at the Akalla Tower, the one surrounded by dark goop. I have killed every Bokoblin on the premises, but I absolutely cannot figure out how I am intended to climb this loving tower. The goop seems to block me at every turn. I thought I had found a way to get rid of the goop when I spotted an eyeball in the bars of the prison, but nope! That just knocks down a beam that lets me get further inside! I have searched high and low, but I cannot figure out what the gently caress I am supposed to do here. I don't want to know the exact answer, just... some guidance, maybe. For example; am I supposed to make the goop go away, or somehow get around the goop?

Ohtsam posted:Theres a goopy eye you can kill that when t dies will drop a metal bar you can magnesis around as a bridge Haha, holy poo poo. I knew about that, but I didn't know it was magnetic. I actually ended up solving it by kicking off the half-broken arch and grabbing the other side Prince of Persia style, climbing up and then gliding above the goop. I love it when puzzles have multiple solutions! In other news, what began as cowardice has now solidified into a legit playstyle. I am Ninja. My sneaking suit is on 90% of the time and most of my kills are stealth. I watch, I wait, I plan my routes. I don't bother with footpaths; I climb walls and scale sheer cliffs. I can come from anywhere, and you won't know it until my sword is already lodged up your rear end. Game rules.

So I'm almost done with Operation Map This loving Kingdom, finally making my way into the Gerudo Highlands with some help from a Fire Rod's ambient heat. Only one problem: where the gently caress is the tower. I can't see it. I've found the blue Lynel, and what I think is the cool lightning dragon's hideout. I'm standing at the highest point in the area and I still don't see a tower. Where did they hide it.

Man, I cannot sing loudly enough the praises of the Divine Beasts. I genuinely think they are, both in concept and execution, the best dungeons Nintendo has ever done. I just finished Vah Naboris and it made me think, like genuinely think about its puzzles, approaching from different angles, trying solution after solution until I finally got the one that worked. It's been a long-rear end time since a video game has made me stretch my mind like that, and god drat it felt good. I challenged myself to get every chest in that thing just because I was enjoying it so much, and I was actually kind of sad to leave it for the final time. The Divine Beasts are somehow both dungeons and characters, and they're cool as poo poo. And while Mipha was kind of 'eh,' if the other champions are even a fraction as awesome as Urbosa, I have a lot to look forward to yet.

Calaveron posted:So what's stopping me from finding the NPC that lets me respec hearts and stamina (wherever the gently caress he is), trading in my two stamina upgrades for two more hearts making 13 hearts, pulling out the master sword, and respeccing back to my 11 hearts and 2 extra stamina? This is exactly what I did and it's great. Only I actually decided to give myself back three stamina. Three seems to be the magic number for stamina upgrades; there were a LOT of things that +2 stamina was just barely unable to accomplish.

Wildtortilla posted:I too would like an answer to this. I was paying attention and I still don't know what that quest was about. I collected three sunshrooms and then he talked about something, I put my tablet on their water drop machine, and then the girl scientist was kinda angry that they weren't charging me a fee. Idfk what the point of any of that was. If you take a picture of something the game identifies, it saves it to the compendium. If you go to the compendium and open the entry, you have the option to tune the Sheikah Sensor to seek that instead of shrines. Useful for ingredient hunting.

Man, the Rito section really feels like an afterthought compared to some of the others. The lead up to the Divine Beast is basically non-existent. You don't rescue the guy or help him do anything or even really have more than one conversation with him before he's all 'prove yourself' and then you complete a really easy challenge and he's like 'alright cool let's go.' The Beast itself isn't actually shown doing anything bad like the others, it just kind of flies around menacingly, and the pre-dungeon fight, the puzzles, and the boss in Medoh were all three the easiest so far (having done Naboris and Ruta before this). Oh well. At least the power is cool.

Zaphod42 posted:It tells you to drop the scale into the water, which opens a shrine. You somehow missed a very important message that appears directly onscreen. Zora had a bitching side quest I had to do though. Could just be because I tackled it in the early game though. Basically since I needed Shock Arrows to beat the Divine Beast, they told me to go up the mountain and sneak around the Lynel while picking up 20 of his extra shock arrows that he leaves lying around. So I did that, and I was very sneaky, and I made extra special sure not to aggro him because I had like five heart containers and hadn't found a single fairy and knew instant death when I saw it. It was cool and tense as hell, but I'm guessing if you have shock arrows from somewhere else, you don't have to do it.

Zaphod42 posted:Yeah, you can just buy the arrows. And IMO even that quest was very quick and easy, even if its something, while the Rito literally have NO quests which is even crazier. But both of those are over in a couple minutes compared to the Gerudo quests you have to do, which are far more interesting and involved. There was also the treacherous trek to the Zora Domain. Since it's always raining, you can't bullshit it quite as much as you might otherwise and are more or less forced to stick to a general path that is lined with tough enemies. Sidonis checks up on you every so often, being a cool dude, and once even warns you about a Moblin sneaking up behind you. I snuck around the Lizalfos, stealth killing them when I could, up until the game introduced the concept of thunderstorms by having lighting strike a metal box I was hiding behind, crispy-frying me to within an inch of my life and alerting every Lizalfos in the area to my presence. I escaped with my life though. And I knocked the Moblin off a bridge. It ruled.

You know what one of my favorite little things about this game is? Bottles. You all remember bottles, right? Remember when we used to move heaven and earth and strike down godbeasts at risk of life and limb and our reward was a simple loving glass bottle that someone had lying around? Remember that poo poo? No more. Bottles are everywhere and infinite. We generate bottles from thin air whenever we make an elixir. When we consume said elixir, the bottle returns to the aether whence it came, forgotten. We used to break our backs for bottles. Now, the bottles work for us.

There is now officially one puzzle in this game I am 100% willing to call bullshit on. Goron Spoilers; I was at my wits end for literally hours trying to figure out how to rescue Yunobo from the Abandoned North Mines. I knew how to fire the cannons, but I could not figure out that you had to aim them by hitting the lever with a weapon, because nobody loving tells you this, and at no other point in the game do you have to do this. The lever is mentioned exactly ONCE by a single NPC near the cannons and it is a line that he will not repeat under any circumstances. He tells you not to touch the lever. And the thing is, I heard what he was saying. I tried to touch the lever. I tried pushing the lever, I tried pulling the lever. I tried Magnesis. I tried Stasis. I detonated bombs next to the lever. I even pulled out Cryonis just because I was completely loving lost and had nothing left to resort to. I went back and spoke to every NPC I could find. Nobody mentions a loving lever. At no other point in this game is there a lever that you have to hit with a weapon in order to operate. So yeah, sorry Nintendo, but that is Bullshit™. At the very least, you should be able to Stasis the lever so at least people realize it's a Thing You Can Hit.

Escobarbarian posted:Fitting username Thanks, I picked it myself. To put it another way: every other switch in the entire game will respond to other forms of being hit. In a game where you have to Do A Violence in order to operate switches, all the other switches accept multiple forms of violence. But not these. These, you have to hit with a weapon. No other force will move it, and that's kinda bullshit. The spirit of the game, generally speaking, seems to be that there are multiple solutions to pretty much every problem. But not here. Here, there is only one answer, and the game doesn't even do you the courtesy of hinting at what that might be. It makes no sense.

Ishto Soh Shrine - Bravery's Grasp: So I solved this by placing two bombs on opposite corners of the crystal switch, getting as far up into the staircase as that would get me, and then using octo balloons to get more bombs over the wall to keep blasting the switch. I knew in my heart of hearts that was not the intended solution but I didn't care. I beat it. So I decided to look up what the intended solution was.

Playing on Wii U, is anyone else suddenly running into performance issues several hours in? It's only started fairly recently, and it's weirdly specific; when I ragdoll Moblins, the game will hang, sometimes for several seconds. It has yet to cause a full-on freeze but at least one incident was long enough to make me worry. And it only happens with Moblins. Other enemies ragdoll just fine. It's weird.
