Playing as Zelda would also give an excuse for the obligatory power reset - we just had to go through a billion shrines as Link to get up to full strength, but Zelda's been stuck in stasis sitting on Ganon for a century of course, there was endless speculation for Link being Zelda/a girl when BotW1 was in development, and that went nowhere, but hey, we can hope sidenote: I really hope that, given they've got 85% of the assets or so already made, the story is much more fleshed out than "wander around the world collecting memories." I was happy with BotW, but man the trailers made it seem like a much more active game than it was

Freaking Crumbum posted:that's a good point i completely didn't notice until you just said that. in botw the triforce doesn't exist at all, and didn't even notice. why bring it back now when it's proved non-essential to making a fun game Even if the Triforce™ itself isn't present, the 3 Dragons indicate that they're still around, even if people don't seem to worship them anymore.

YoshiOfYellow posted:Cadence of Hyrule is out today and it's real good y'all. It feels like a legit Zelda game because you got the big overworld and you traverse around and find your way to get into the dungeons which are semi-randomized. The music is fantastic too. It's all pretty much instantly recognizable classic Zelda tunes but with that good funky Necrodancer style. because I liked Crypt of the Necrodancer in theory, but I hated the fact that I could spend several hours trying to work through a dungeon and make zero progress because of the roguelike stuff. combine that with being kinda poo poo at the combat, I'm glad I only spent two dollars on the thing.

MonsterEnvy posted:He was still a selfish monster whose justification was simply that he liked the poo poo other people had and so decided to steal it, after which he corrupted everything declared himself Demon King, and ruled as a cruel tyrant. And, regardless of his actions, look at what Hyrule's goddesses did in retaliation - there aren't any mountains to take refuge on in the middle of the desert. The gerudo got wiped off the map, it's a wonder he's not mad with grief. Regy Rusty posted:Windwaker Ganondorf has sympathetic qualities. That's not the same as being a sympathetic character overall. He's still cruel and doesn't care what evil things he has to get what he wants, but he is unique in that he actually explains his reasons and you can understand them and feel a bit sorry for him. s.i.r.e. posted:That's only the very end where everything he just worked towards is taken from him and he loses his mind. Prior to that he's not the typical Ganondorf that just wants to enslave the gently caress out of the world and rule over it. Isn't his whole mission just to bring Hyrule back from being under the waves?

Due to a large number of people in the fandom wanting it and presumably willing to fork over another forty or so dollars for it, it's safe to assume that nintendo will be as nintendo as possible and never do that

Runcible Cat posted:You can get outfits from previous games from the amiibos; OoT version, Wind Waker version etc.  e: actually, speaking of amiibos and HD ports there's been "rumors" about HD Twilight Princess & Wind Waker on switch literally since the switch was released, but the most recent "leak" might have some truth to it - I've been trying to get a Wolf Link amiibo at a non-bullshit price for a while now, with no luck because they were pretty much only sold with TPHD. But I was just able to buy one from Best Buy? So there might actually be some truth to the rumors this time, if they're re-releasing new copies of it. of course, it's equally likely that they found one under a warehouse shelf and just stuck it on the website, but hey, a girl can dream Blaziken386 fucked around with this message at 09:50 on Jun 14, 2019 |

the weird thing about the master sword trial is that the first trial is a pain in the rear end (especially the last level with enemies that'll one shot you) but the middle and ending trials are super easy. feels like it should be the other way around?

honestly my favorite part of the final trials is that they put in a bunch of normal sized Guardians, not the little ones that wander around the shrines. Y'know, the enemies who are big and scary and probably chased you down and killed you at the beginning of the game... but became loot piñatas the minute you learned the appropriate time to shield parry e: except on master mode, where the laser timing is much more variable because gently caress you

QuietLion posted:I never knew Master Mode could change the timing of a Guardian’s laser, I always thought it was me imagining it and being terrible. You can see it here. Occasionally, it adds an in-between animation to the charging and firing steps - an animation short enough that, if you try to parry at the normal time, you will be wide open and eat poo poo* - and master mode doesn't give you the 1/4 heart grace period you usually get if you're hit by an extra strong attack. *okay, there's like, a single-frame chance to re-parry if you gently caress up, but that's only if your first parry was a couple frames early.

Angry Diplomat posted:That's not true at all, if the customization extends as far as "the physics of the game world." I'd pay for Skate Or Die: Hyrule Edition with moon gravity, super low friction, and no durability loss from shield surfing. I got it after my first or second divine beast, and it survived until I'd gotten 100/120 shrines and all the dungeons done with copious shield surfing. And buy then, paying 3,000 for a replacement isn't a big deal. Having customizable physics would be friggin' great though

andipossess posted:Grab the Ancient Shield for surfing. It has the least amount of friction when surfing on must surfaces and can even be pretty good at letting you surf uphill if you have enough momentum. Not as much overall durability as the Hylian Shield, but I think it takes less overall shield damage while surfing on optimal surfaces. Not that I have a source to back that up, though.... Now I want DLC that gives link a skateboard shield that doesn't work as a shield, but lets you surf infinitely

I'm watching a Skyward Sword LP right now, and, ya know, I understand the reason for BotW having statues of/focus on Goddess Hylia, rather than the Goddesses of the Triforce, is because Skyward Sword was the previous game, and they wanted to make their new lore slightly relevant. However, given Skyward Sword was supposedly the first game in the timeline, and BotW apparently* takes place at least 10,000 years AFTER whichever one is the latest, this makes zero sense in-universe. Which just leads me to wonder why the gently caress they published an official timeline in the first place. *may or may not actually be 10,000 years, it's a legend and therefore probably exaggerated, but still

Silver Falcon posted:... Because shield surfing is fun and that minigame gives you a nice long course to shield surf on. 2) It's free to just surf down the loving hill if I want, if I'm paying money to try and beat a certain time limit or whatever, I expect at least a half-decent reward for it. Not wasting the player's time is Game Design 101. You know what's a fun shield surfing minigame? The one in the desert, leashed to a sandseal. You know, the one that also unlocks a shrine. It's fun, and it has a point, what a novel loving concept.

Silver Falcon posted:What I took umbrage was your take that there is "literally no reason" to do something that doesn't award a piece of heart or whatever. Like, unless you get your shiny trinket that satisfies your lizard hindbrain, nothing is worth it. okay, lemme put this in simpler words for you. You can surf down the mountain all you want. It's there, and if that's your bag, you can go for it, all on your own drat volition. My issue with the minigame, is that there's a NPC squatting on the top of the mountain, who says "hey, pay me money and race down the mountain, beat my record." It's the same part of the game you can already do for free, but there's an implicit cost and challenge to it. The cost should be worthwhile. It's not. There's nothing to be gained from this NPC that you can't already do or don't already have. In, say, Majora's Mask, you can go swimming as Mikau, exploring the ocean. That poo poo's fun and enjoyable, and great for relaxing and killing time. But! If you go talk to the Beavers. and beat their record, you unlock an empty bottle. The same gameplay, in a new area, with a reward that justifies the upfront cost that the NPC is shaking you down for. It's great. This has none of that. Everything you're paying rupees for, you can already do. There's zero incentive.

Spellman posted:I do like this probably-skeleton Ganon, hope there are more cool boss designs. The Calamity as a concept for Ganon is great, just this shadowy blob of malice sweeping the land. But it doesn't feel like you're stabbing the real Blue Pig in the head, and his up-close designs are actually awful I haven't played Skyward Sword myself, but I've been watching a 100% LP of it, and, honestly, the overworld and dungeon designs made me sad that I missed it because of the motion controls. (whether or not the motion controls worked well, I didn't have Wii motion plus) The overworld being similar to a dungeon in how it plays is great IMO, because the dungeons are generally the best part of the zelda games. Also, the "repeating areas" complaint feels a little hollow - when you revisit, you go to a different part of that slice of the overworld - the water area is connected to faron, but it isn't faron.

MM3D -has much more vibrant colors, completely at odds with the atmosphere -hosed over zora swimming, making the water dungeon go from fun to tedious -stapled eyeballs to the back of every boss, making them play like much more traditional zelda bosses, and therefore, less fun. -stone mask made effectively worthless if it was just the visual change, I wouldn't mind, but the other changes make it feel worse to play. Here's to hoping my wii never dies, seeing as the wii version is the definitive release and it was digital download only

IMO, the visual changes did the Happy Mask Salesman dirty N64 version looks vaguely menacing in his neutral pose, 3DS version looks flat in his "literally strangling link" pose   I would've used two gifs of the same scene, but google is being unhelpful at providing two gifs of the same scene in similar quality sure, there are some areas where the more saturated visuals look better, but the different lighting makes areas that should be ominous... not. NofrikinfuN posted:This is the only version I've played. It's not too terrible if you make sure to save at absolutely every opportunity, but losing progress to a crash definitely sucks. It seemed like it played fine aside from those crashes and some weird audio issues.
