Don’t you love budget rereleases? Don’t you love how they almost always make the box art look worse than before? Nintendo selects, Players Choice, Greatest Hits, Platinum Hits, all of them make the boxes look worse and less uniform. But there’s one that stands above all of the others. One...

The problem is that the way I would personally want it to be designed is completely incompatible with this. If I were to redesign the dungeon, I would turn it into a roguelike-metroidvania hybrid. Make it technically possible to beat on your very first visit, only with a time limit so strict...

Amazing how they managed to get ahold of ai artwork of a guy in an electric chair a good 20 years before ai art became a thing.

Box arts can make or break a game. For the longest time they were the only way most games could ever stand out. There are some good ones out there, there are some bad ones out there. And then there are ones that are so notoriously bad that they end up being one of the most memorable things...

Today I learned that there are 2 separate musical groups named after the Windwaker. Why didn’t you Australians tell me about this? I thought your only band was the Wiggles.

Nope, they hadn’t :eyes:

People really like to ignore that the timeline has been pretty consistent for the most part. The capcom games are really the only time there’s any wild inconsistencies, and I hardly blame Nintendo for that. I’ve said it before, but the sheer severity and amount of inconsistencies in the latest...

The only reason why I’d want to get rid of the touch controls in a PH remake is because it would be a pain to get them to work on a modern console. At that point you might as well redesign the entire game while keeping the core concepts. I think I’ve said this before, but I’d want a potential...

They’re the worst addition to the series lore yet. In BotW they were a complete bag of nothing. Just a random name thrown into the game to get theorists to talk about them despite the fact that they had absolutely nothing interesting about them whatsoever. It was just yet another way BotW...

The store I work at has a YouTube channel now. https://youtu.be/oPRmYq-DHXI?si=tzzo6NlQzGBGXHlI

I used to be mildly positive of Breath of the Wild, so naturally I put quite a few hours into the game. Then after my third play through by the time I realized I hated the game I already had a good 250 combined hours in it. For a game that I’ve hated ever since it released, it took me about 50...

What text said that? Literally how? The game shares absolutely none of the themes of Zelda 1, either from a mechanical or storytelling perspective.

The sheer amount of insanely specific things that would have to happen in order for an adult timeline placement of BotW to make sense tell me that it’s not the correct placement. Occam’s Razor and all that. If we’re going by BotW alone, then the only timeline that really makes sense is the...

He said that it was at the end of a timeline, he didn’t specify which one.

I mean, they don’t have an official placement. They don’t need one. It’s pretty obvious that they’re in their own separate continuity, just like Hyrule Warriors.

There’s nothing to fix.

Well that, and I wasn’t planning on making the NPCs at all. Too many moving parts.

West Clock Town is done. Don’t ask me what I did with the mushroom blocks I got from farming the stems. It’s a secret.

Wii Music- “Is Mayonnaise an instrument?”

I would be ecstatic. He has proven multiple times over that he has no idea why Zelda was so great to begin with. Why he had such a sudden shift a decade ago, I’m not sure, but he’s directly responsible for the awful state the series has been in this generation, as well as ruining MM3D. Of...

Right, that too.

You do realize that the United States and all of its infrastructure was made in ~250 years, right? BotW directly states that it takes place 10,000 years after the last game.

I wouldn’t say they were “from” Windwaker or Skyward Sword as much as they just sorta happened to be in those games. All three of the tropes in question are pretty standard open world fare, so I’d say that it’s more likely that BotW’s direction was more inspired by other open world games than...

There are definitely some shared elements, though they aren’t really implemented in the same way. The method of traversing the overworld, for instance, is vastly different by design. For the most part, the Great Sea is designed merely as a buffer between the game’s challenges. It’s pretty...

That’s the thing though. All games inherently “focus” on exploration. Zelda 1, BotW, OoT, SS, even the multiplayer games. It’s the methods they use to give that sense of exploration that sets games apart, and BotW goes out of its way to change the main method the series had used since Zelda 1...

Now you mention in your next comment that you realize you might be wrong about some of the things you said, but I don’t know which is which so I’m just going to respond to all of them. Nope. Everything I said is true without glitches of any kind. The only caveat is that you can’t get the map...

Yeah, but it also has peahats and stalfos, which were in OoT but not BotW. It’s a very surface level quality.

Objectively untrue. Throughout the entirety of the adult portion of the game the only restrictions on dungeon order are that spirit goes after water and shadow goes after water and fire. Apart from that there’s no restriction. Meanwhile the majority of dungeons in Zelda 1 are locked behind...

If you’re talking about the very first game titled “The Legend of Zelda” released on the NES, then yes.

Yup, just like in Zelda 1

BotW literally could not be any less similar to Zelda 1. OoT is far closer to being a “3D remake” of it than BotW is.

I feel like you could at least fix the issues with the Downfall timeline by making a new game to explain just how it actually connects. With FSA it makes no sense in general.

Why wouldn’t they?

….that’s literally what all machine guns do.

North Clock Town is done

Chrono Trigger Excellent game. Certainly the best of the SNES era JRPGs I’ve played. One of my only real complaints are that the art design of the individual locations (and to a lesser extent the overworld too) cause movement feels tedious at times. There were multiple times where I got...

Caves could have been cool if there were literally any reason to ever visit one outside of the occasional random armor piece. Instead they’re just yet another example of Nu-Zelda’s obsession with mindless repetition and filler content.

After taking a break, I finally got back to Clock Town. I should work on the lighting in East Clock Town next.

I tried a handful of sidequests at first until I realized that none of them were fun in the slightest. I spent the rest of my time with the game forcing myself to finish the main quest just so I could be done with it.

Another Code: Recollection Not bad at all. I get why it’s so well loved. The controls could have used a little more polish, and I think Journey into Lost Memories suffers a bit from trying to tell 3 separate, basically disconnected stories at once, but I definitely enjoyed what I played...

I got a decent amount of pokemon cards as a kid. Ironically once I actually learned how to play the game I pretty much stopped getting them. I own the GBC game, but I still haven’t played it. I played a decent amount of Magic in high school, but only because a friend was really into them. He...

5 hands down. It’s honestly the only one I ever really see myself returning to in the future. It’s the only generation that feels like it doesn’t suffer from being filled with abhorrent balancing and team building issues like gens 1-4 while also not being overly gimmicky and half finished like...

Who the heck is this survey supposed to be targeting? How many people do they expect to be selecting “none of the above?”

He didn’t have one because he was physically and mentally a kid already. Navi was basically his passport between the land of child and adult.

Physically, no, but mentally he absolutely did. That’s what Navi flying off at the end is supposed to symbolize. After tackling each of the different obstacles of adulthood, Link can no longer safely enter the forest of his childhood again.

Honestly it would have worked better there than in TP since BotWs combat is so overly simplistic by design. Waggling the remote is a lot more effective when you have exactly one move in combat.

So I was going to eventually make a thread about this, but the Peter Pan connections are far from a coincidence. Of course there’s the surface level connections like the Kokiri Forest being neverland as you pointed out, as well as the fact that Link was designed to look like peter pan like...

I used to sleep on my stomach, but I’ve heard that’s really bad for your back. I already have scoliosis so that’s a no for me, as comfortable as it is.

I alternate between right and left
