I wonder how all of the Rare people feel when the response to Nuts & Bolts was primarily confusion and upset but now this has huge excitement with people referencing N&B.

Well for one, the vehicle building stuff in ToTK is just a side thing to complement the core gameplay of a Zelda game, not the entire game itself.
Also ToTK doesn't seem to constantly insult anyone that liked older Zelda games at the same time so that's another thing its got going.

Makes me wonder if something happened to Teba. Or maybe the gap between BoTW and ToTK is longer then I thought, because if I remember right, BoTW era Rito's have a pretty short life span.

But seriously, Teba is probably a goner right? He was the only new age champion they didn't show, but they had his son instead.

They realized they forgot to give Teba a character so his new stand out attribute is that he's loving dead.



Also red noodle hair tapestry lookin guy was there I think? Unless that was just dorf' before getting a hair cut.

AoC gave me a better appreciation of Teba. Which really means "he was broken as poo poo in that game"

Seems like Zelda got pulled into possibly the Sacred Realm? And Link needs to find a way to get into it as well.

Hmm, I wonder if Zelda did loving die from that fall, but she somehow got sent to the past to live on as her old self? Just with all her memories and poo poo? What would that even be called, reverse-incarnation?

If you really need a sledgehammer at any point in the game there's one just lying out above Owa Daim Shrine on a shelf to the west. There's plenty of other spots but you'll have to do it anyway to get off the Great Plateau so that's a reliable one that'll always be there.

there's one leaning on Link's house that respawns every bloodmoon, but I think you have to have at least the exterior fully finished for it to start spawning

There are things that Elden Ring does much, much better than BotW. Enemy variety, combat, boss design, weapon variety, the sense that wherever you go you'll discover something new instead of another bokoblin camp and a shrine.

BotW has the better traversal and open world (ultimately, ER isn't that open. The world is a labyrinth like every other FromSoft game, it's just a much bigger labyrinth).

While enemy variety is better then BoTW, I can't help but point out how the Haligtree, the end game super dungeon, is made up of 99% enemies you fought already. Including the minibosses, high end guards, and even the same zombie soldiers that you have been fighting since literally the start of the game, that even fight the exact same way (only now they blow up when you kill them)(and also heavily resist Holy because gently caress YOU if you dared make a FTH build in that game)

God dammit, I was wondering what was up with those, but I took a shower this morning and it hit me like a ton of bricks

Also, was I the only one that stumbled into the Korok Forest by sheer accident? I was loving around the Depths, got really lost then saw what looked like the Temple mini-Purah or whatever was talking about. Found a spot that looked suspiciously like it was made for Ascend and then OH HEY GREAT DEKU TREE WHY ARE VOMITING PURPLE SMOKE EVERYWHERE

Question about cherry blossoms:

What exactly are Sartori revealing? It’s obviously caves but are these caves special or something? I thought it might be clothing locations but the last one revealed didn’t appear to have anything. You can tell by the wooden poles with cloth sticking out.

I think it's caves that have a bubblegem or whatever inside still, the stuff you give to Koltin

shrine hunting sppilers: i just realized that there's a lightroot under every(?) shrine that isn't in the sky, and vice versa. holy hell that has made tracking down these last shrines so much easier, if a bit time-consuming. it's also made lighting up the depths easier as well.

I'm 90% sure the Depths is an inverse map of Hyrule. Like the upside down Dracula's Castle, only it's everything outside.
