is wind waker hd 30% off? i still do not have wind waker hd.

GameCube
Nov 21, 2006

ever notice how like every zelda that's come out in the past decade or so has been a direct response to Gamer Feedback

wind waker was "too kiddy" so they made twilight princess dark as poo poo
twilight princess was too drab and lifeless so they made skyward sword very pretty
skyward sword was too easy and linear so now its dark souls bitch

i want to pet the dogs but i'm afraid i'll pet the wrong button and stab them to death instead

I haven't found a way to pet em but I fed one and it followed me around. They also chase their tails which is good.

They really need to add a pet button tho.

the one MGS5 feature they didn't rip off. dang

Cool thing I just discovered that other people probably found out ages ago but if you're venturing somewhere cold and don't wanna sacrifice armor for cold resistance or don't have any food to eat, just strap a fire sword or fire rod to your back and it'll warm you up just the same.

I mean, it makes perfect sense, but it's kinda crazy that it's an actual strategy that works.

I figured this out too. I also thawed out a whole shrine by standing next to it with a fire spear for 20 minutes

attach an octorok balloon to a banana, and use the leaf to blow it past the guards

rediscover posted:

regarding the clan: does a sneak strike actually 1 hit the big guards? anyways that part is hard and saying gently caress it to stealth is nearly impossible.. *a slow grin creeps across my face* which made it all the more satisfying when i got busted and slaughtered all yiga clan fruitcakes who tried to one shot me with there big swords. wasn't the biggest fan of that segment but the banana stash and the clan leader (mini?) boss at the end was a funny character and cool fight final verdict: several bags of popcorn and a large soda. also does anyone else feel like they tend to run into those vile tricksters way more often than normal in faron/the tropical zone?

usually it does but it seems like if they're starting to turn around it won't work. i just stocked up on shock arrows and i've got some good bows so i might just waste them all with triple shock arrows to the head

i still like skyward sword. i'll never play it again and fi and the linearity in general were awful but they tried to mix things up, they made good on the promise of the wii motion controls, and tbqh i don't think breath of the wild would exist without skyward sword. and really "worst console zelda" is not that damning a criticism

you should play with the Pro Hud setting

in my heart i wish i'd played the entire game in pro hud but i'm like 80 hours in and still only have 3 divine beasts down. if i played without the map waypoints and poo poo i'd probably never finish this game... is that such a bad thing though
