So in Zelda (minor gameplay thing) I was out loving around at night, and saw a falling star... and then I followed where it fell and after a while of walking found it on the ground and picked it up.

goty

i saw one of these but it landed on a very very steep cliff face and i knew i wouldn't be able to get it

Um, if you had learned to read ancient Hyrulian like me, you would know that the shrine doors all say 'dungeon' on them :colbert:

i learned enough to read the little map location subtitles and then worked out where all the memory photos were from their titles. cryptography in games is Good.

e: oh speaking of which is their any significance to the Eastern Abbey's map subtitle, which seems to be unique (but i didn't really look hard)

i have one zelda dungeon left and i'm probably not going​ to actually do it for a while so here's oddium's final zelda review: 7.7 when i'm doing woke thoughts while driving to work, 8.2 while i'm playing it

pros:
* taking pictures for the hyrule compendium (my favorite thing by far)
* exploring to complete the hyrule compendium
* very scenic
* seeing the dragons for the first time, especially up close
* link's canon mermaid wife
* the extremely sick chameleon lizalfos design
* wizzrobes not as good as ww toucans but still good
* professor zelda is cool + the only good voice actor
* the lost woods
* very impressive sense of mystery and wonder. but it's all first-time stuff that doesn't hold up
* passion for fashion

cons:
* the weapon durability
* always out of arrows
* the divine beasts and the build up to them are so disappointing. the rito one is especially bad. i did the zora one first so maybe that's why it's my favorite, with the heavy downpour and the zora prince. but they're all just show up, do a small thing, then do a five room
dungeon
* very generic shrines. 75% are Put Ball in Hole or Use Stasis. would like to have seen them combined into slightly larger, themed shrines maybe
* i don't remember any of characters except the zora prince and the goron boy. pretty much everyone had a story in mm and ww's character designs were stellar. the townsfolk here are very plain
* bokoblins, moblins, and lizalfos are essentially​ the same enemy and the majority of all fights. no poes, dark nuts, iron knuckles, wolfos, etc. in the desert, at the lake, in the snowy mountains, in the forests. the same three enemies
* runes have little use outside of puzzles
* why is temperature even a thing. you put on cold/warm clothes and then ignore it
* by the end i had enough stamina to bypass exploring by gliding off towers. but that's my fault really


not a big shake up to the official zelda tier list

well i do it and i've gotten speedlunky/low scorer. here's the most important thing you can do in spelunky i think:



Kill All Shopkeepers because the shotgun alone is insanely useful on top of the amount of free items you get. it'll take a lot lot lot of practice to get good enough to take them on though. here's how i usually get the first one:
