Linkle exists because of random concept art for a cut "Link's little sister" type character for the original Wii U Hyrule Warriors. They ended up adding her for, iirc, the 3DS version and then the Switch version with a different backstory because folks liked the design.

tsob posted:The who now? Also, put me down as someone who would be pleasantly surprised if Zelda (or Linkle) was a playable character, but thinks it has zero actual chance of being the case in reality. I think Nintendo are safe enough with their big, established properties at this point they'll never not make the existing big bad of most of the past games the big bad of future games. I'm honestly surprised Ripley wasn't the boss of Metroid: Dread, and put that down to second party developers of a smaller (or less scrutinized) title by virtue of it being 2D, rather than Nintendo doing it directly. Ridley was already the final boss of the same team's previous outing in Samus Returns, where they decided to throw him in at the end of a game that didn't already have him in it. But also, Ridley doesn't really scream Big Bad. Just more of a recurring pain-in-the-rear end.

MokBa posted:I'm glad BotW came out and was like "sure it's all one thing who cares have fun". It did not actually do this! At most, Aonuma has played coy about its placement in the timeline, but if you look at the details, two of the timelines in fact contradict Breath of the Wild, and one has no such contradictions.

As far as the history of the timeline, Up until and including OoT it was straightforward, based entirely on manual and in-game stories. OoT -> ALttP -> LoZ -> AoL In 2002, Game Pro asked where Wind Waker placed in the series timeline and Aonuma and MIyamoto said this: 2002 Game Pro Interview posted:Aonuma: You can think of this game as taking place over a hundred years after Ocarina of Time. You can tell this from the opening story, and there are references to things from Ocarina located throughout the game as well. So it's been a question since they revealed games would be on different timelines. The only real shakeup was when Hyrule Historia released in like 2011 which revealed the third timeline in the split.

Dictator. posted:I don’t mind the lore and timeline stuff but at some point it gets too complicated and I just hope that Nintendo doesn’t limit itself in game development cause the new thing has to fit in somewhere between all the old things. Honestly I think it works the other way around. Nintendo comes up with the central gimmick for the game then picks a spot in the timeline so they can use that to inform the story and details, and they aren't really opposed to retconning either.

At the very least, the horns dropped harder variants of enemies will give stronger buffs to the weapons you fuse them with, so I imagine by the time you get to late game with harder enemy variants everywhere, you'll have much stronger materials to boost your attack power as well. It seems like some of the base weapons (like sticks) will have their own associated bonuses as well, like the sturdy stick which has more durability. Hopefully those are passed on when they're fused. Seems like they're encouraging you to fight higher tier enemies this time for access to their stronger materials.

Pirate Radar posted:I wonder if the movable Zonai platforms reset at any point, or if they just trust you not to stick too many rockets on one and yeet it into a useless corner of sky you can’t get it back from. In BotW, pretty much all environmental things (trees, rocks, giant iron doors) get reset whenever you hit a loading screen or the chunk of the map gets unloaded, so I imagine they'll just come back if you trigger a warp of some kind.

Current running theory (afaik) is that BotW Zelda's sealing power is the complete Triforce which has been passed down through the royal family, which is why she's supposed to pray at all three springs.

The only English VAs I really had a problem with were the King who had to deliver a huge monologue while maintaining his funky accent. Well, and Mipha, but I can't really put into words why. Zelda I thought did a pretty good job for the most part, even if they wanted her to speak in a not-quite British accent. I wonder if the funky accents were deliberate. It's one thing to have a bad impression of any random British accent, but these sounded more like someone wanted a specific accent that was inspired by RP and it just didn't land.

Speaking of, I wonder if Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule and Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule both introduce themselves with their full names because they actually married into the Hyrule royal family. Do they merely rule as King Regent until their respective daughters/descendants take the throne? Am I thinking about this more than Nintendo has?

Blaziken386 posted:okay thats my bad, i didnt realize botw did that. surely, making alternative versions for each region would be MORE effort than just having them all in the base game, right? What happened is that the voices and text were originally tied to your system language. They patched in an option to make selections in-game instead. Although there are a few games which are different per region (iirc Splatoon 1 is one of those and maybe also Splatoon 2).

Carlosologist posted:Question: about how many stamina rings do you need to tame the giant horse on Hateno Beach? I have nearly two full ones but that wasn’t enough Kind of late, but both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom handle taming horses the same way or close enough: (spoiler just in case you don't want to know how it works) You just have to press the soothe button enough times. Something in the 20-30 range iirc. If you mash fast enough it's possible to tame any horse with base stamina.

Since it came up, from what I understand about durability and fusing: The base weapon has two durability values, its regular durability and a flat 25(?) fuse durability which doesn't vary by weapon. When something is fused to a weapon, it will use the fuse durability until it hits zero. If the fuse durability is zero, or there's nothing fused to the weapon, it depletes the regular durability. If you un-fuse and then re-fuse to a base weapon, it doesn't replenish the fuse durability. Don't know much about the durability of weapons or shields that have been fused onto a base though.

Hogama posted:There's a bit of tiering for the fuse durability: a Bokoblin Arm fused only gets 8 hits until it breaks, as opposed to 5 hits un-fused, so its fuse durability is only 3. A Rusty Broadsword fused only gets 16 hits until it breaks, as opposed to 6 hits un-fused, so its fuse durability is only 10. However, I do believe that good bases only max out at ~25 fuse durability - an undecayed Traveler's Sword lasted 45 hits fused as opposed to 20 hits un-fused for me. Thanks for the correction. I walked away from the post and suddenly remembered bokoblin arms and wasn't sure how that all shook out.

I think as an improvement, the devs could make it so tapping up will just re-fuse the last item without the pause to show the inventory and confirmation. And also let me favorite items instead of relying on most used. And also just have a better way of traversing the materials list that isn't scrolling through 60 items.

Speaking of, if you wanna remove the middle man of having a campfire to get an updraft, setting a spicy pepper on fire has the same height as a pine cone thrown at a fire. This was possible in breath of the wild, too, but they actually increased the effect in this game.Steve Yun posted:Where is the best place to farm fire fruit Dunno about the best spot, you can get like 20 by going back to the Fuse shrine every now and then.

Any place with lots of wooden crates. Usually monster camps, but also some sky islands. Archers at monster camps also tend to drop bundles of arrows.

watchoutitsabear posted:Sorry to skip 200 pages of content but I'm still very early in the game and have only one goal: good horses. Has anyone found the good 5-star horses in this game?? My game didn't transfer over my stable from BotW and I want my gorgeous good-rear end 5-star horses back! If your BOTW file exists on the Switch on that same profile, try registering any random horse and it should reveal your BOTW horses for you. I think it ignores Master Mode horses though.

The best guess we have as to where the triforce is is that Zelda currently has the completely triforce since it shows up whenever she uses her sealing powers in Breath of the Wild. Apart from that it only shows up in design motifs. As far as Tears of the Kingdom, I don't recall it appearing at all when anybody uses any powers, but it does show up on Sonia's arm as part of her markings (without the rest of the Royal Crest, even). Nobody ever mentions it by name though so who knows.
