    Monster Changes "Theory"

    So, I guess I haven't really seen or heard anyone talking about this beyond simply noticing it. But, while at work today the idea sorta popped into my head so I wanted to share it with people to kinda... have it in the atmosphere. As many of you may be aware, one of the small changes people...

    Birthday Of The Wild

    Alright, hi hello hey yes hi. Okay, got that out of the way, I know it's been ages since I was around, yadda yadda. So, some of you may remember a few years ago when I posted about having a Zelda birthday for my friends, and a few other such posts. Well... clearly, that had to not happen for a...

    Question/Help: Taglines

    Okay so this is a really strange thing to ask, so let me see if I can explain. I kinda want to do a series of illustrations for the Transformation Forms in Majora's Mask. Each piece would be something like three drawings of a form, arranged around a typographically enhanced tagline. Something...

    Zelda's Apocryphal Texts: A Fun Way To Look At Canon and Lore

    First, to get this out of the way just in case it's needed... "Apocryphal" means that something, usually a text or memoir but not always, is of questionable veracity. It basically means [citation needed]. Anyway, while I am not usually one for diving deep into Zelda lore, I think one...

    Closest Call in Majora's Mask

    Can you remember the time you finished what you were doing and played the Song of Time, succeeding by the skin of your teeth? I remember the tightest I ever cut things mad seven seconds left on the clock. Oof.

    Zelda Inspired Role Playing Characters

    If you play any sort of Tabletop RPG then you've likely made your share of characters that were inspired by characters from other media. Have you ever made any that borrowed from The Legend of Zelda? If so, tell me about them. What interesting ways did you bend the mechanics to fit the...

    Why Has No Other Kingdom Conquered Hyrule?

    When Calamity Ganon reemerged, he brought a tide of destruction to Hyrule. Guardians, poisoned by his controlling influence, swarmed the kingdom almost in its entirety. Hyrule's armies were routed and essentially eradicated. It's central seat of legislative authority and administrative strength...

    Link's Home Decor: Today I Start An Interesting Adventure.

    So, my life has been kinda hectic lately and due to everything that's happened (no worries, I'm fine!) I moved someplace new. I'm rooming with several friends, and while I used to have a small house I now have a bedroom. And in all the time I had that house, it seems I never tried really hard to...

    Color me, I'm a dinosaur I'm a dinosaur, won't you color me If you were a dinosaur what color would you be? (ok so this was a song from a tape I had as a child, but I'm just posing the question to you all 'cause it's fun)

    Zelda Birthday, Round 2

    Some of you may remember a few months ago when I threw my friends a Zelda themed birthday party. Well, today, I did that for another friend (the third person in that group of friends). Unfortunately I forgot to get pictures of the things I made but basically I took some little treasure chests...

    In Breath of the Wild, each main race has children. Which race do you think has the cutest kids?

    Which Link Design/Art Do You Like The Most?

    This is taking into account mostly the promo art, general design, and overall look and feel of each iteration, not any in-game things like animations or character. *Yes I know the out of game art didn't have purple hair

    I Get To Throw A Zelda Themed Birthday Party Tomorrow...

    I'm very excited for tomorrow because I'm finally getting to throw my friends a party tomorrow, and I've really gone whole ham to make this awesome. The party is for these two lovely peeps: I've gone and made a birthday card for each one, but they'll get the choice which one they get to...

    Lynel Shirts: Get Yours Today!

    Hi there everyone! I designed this recently, thought I'd share it with you. And wouldn't you know it, if you happen to be thinking to yourself "man, I sure do wish I could have that on a super soft and comfy shirt!" then maaaaaybe you should PM me for details?

    Breath of the Wild Smash Level

    I'm sure soon there will be a more relevant subforum to post this in, but for now I'm putting it here for lack of a better place. The Smash Bros teaser at the end of the Direct gave us lots of things to be excited about. One such thing (at least for me) was that they've moved away from the...

    AncientPoe's Art 2018

    Okay, first of all... I hope this thread ends up bigger than last year's thread. That was a sorry display. So let's kick this off. (Though technically these were done late last year, I didn't wanna post them until people got them.) I did these as christmas presents to my friends. They came in...

    Breath of the Wild Pitch Black Nights

    Just a passing idea I had while reading another thread: I think it would have been really cool if every now and then, you had a sort of New Moon night where the world got almost pitch black. Not quite on par with Typhlo ruins, you should be able to see about twice as far, but I think it would...

    Breath of the Wild The Ganonblights Are BS...

    So, this is a thought that has been sorta rattling around in my head for a while. However, after I'd finished the Champion's Ballad DLC, it came further into the fore of my mind. I'll also just say now, mild spoiler warning if you haven't finished the DLC. So, my main problem is this: I think...

    Breath of the Wild Breath of the Wild, and the Promise It Breaks

    From the first moments of gameplay, this latest iteration of our beloved franchise demonstrates one singularly important element: lethality. Everything you do has great risk, even in what is ostensibly the tutorial level. Pick a fight with some monsters when you have a stick? Good luck. Fall...

    I Wonder If...

    King of Red Lions: Transformation or Possession?

    It's so strange to me because this is something that I never even thought about, from the moment I first played Wind Waker. But then randomly the other day it just occurred to me that there was more than one option. What do you think?

    If You Were To Get A Zelda Tattoo...

    Okay, so let's just say that hypothetically you were to get a Zelda tattoo, and also that it had text in it. Which of these phrases would you want? Also, would you want it done in a real language, or in one of the many Hylian fonts that exist? P.S. Don't bother responding with crap like "eh I...

    Loftwings and Other Mounts: An Idea Thread

    Alright. So earlier today I listened to one of the latest little podcast bits from Gooey and Mases. They discussed the various mounts in Zelda games, and it just really got me thinking of how you could implement mounts from here on out. For the sake of my own side in this discussion, I'm...

    Breath of the Wild Flip The Script on Blight Battles

    So, I've been listening to a lot of opinion pieces, podcasts, and generally Breath of the Wild-themed youtube videos lately. One of the talking points commonly touched on deals with the Divine Beasts, specifically how samey the Blight battles are. But the boarding sequences are really unique and...

    Which Game Had The Best Soundtrack?

    One of the most notable things in the Zelda series that has helped etch the games into the minds of fans has always been the enduring music. From the iconic and original main theme to sinister dungeon melodies, to the more ambient musical styles of Ocarina's temples, to the sweeping orchestral...

    Preferred Zelda Cinematic Format

    If you'd like, discuss the how and why of the choices you prefer, or give a detailed reason that you think one of the choices would be a particularly bad fit for the series. I'm eager to see what people think.

    Breath of the Wild Personal Changes in Hero Mode

    So, I've been playing in Hero Mode lately, and one thing I've noticed is that my play style is very different in some respects this time around. There are things I never used to do that I do a lot now, and other's that I did all the time that don't feel fun or useful in Hard Mode. I think the...

    Ancient Art 2017

    Been a while since I uploaded anything. This will be my thread for the work I do this year. Let's start with this one. Basically just had an idea out of the blue to make what the Beldam would make to try to trap me. I think.... and I think she's got me.

    Breath of the Wild You Can Heal Monsters

    On a whim I decided to try this. I simply engaged some Bokoblins and injured the blue one (killed the red). Then I left, came back with the Bokoblin Hood, and fed the Blue an apple.

    Breath of the Wild Amiibo Dropped Two Chests?

    For a moment I thought I must have been mistaken. I tend to scan two at a time (any more and you risk the chests disappearing), so I thought maybe I'd had a chest left over. But nope! My Rider Link Amiibo dropped two chests! Of course, once I began to open them it made more sense. I got the...

    Breath of the Wild Treasure Chest That I Can't Seem To Get...

    So I found this treasure chest here.. ...and no matter what I do, I can't seem to actually get it. It's underwater and partially buried in the sand. Nothing I've tried seems to be capable of dislodging it. Anyone else find this? Right next to it is a sunken, but not buried treasure chest that...

    Breath of the Wild So, How 'Bout Them Korok Seeds?

    How's everyone doing on their Korok seed hunting? I feel like I'm truckin' along pretty well. I'm going to go as long as I can without looking any of the locations up. Anyone need some helpful hints on how to find them? Any particularly interesting locations or puzzles you've found? Do you have...

    Breath of the Wild Treasure Chest, But No Treasure Chest....?

    So, basically I don't know what exactly is going on. Sometimes a shrine marker on the map screen will have a treasure chest next to it. Now, I'm fairly certain that this means there is a treasure chest in that shrine that you didn't yet pick up. And yet somehow, I will get this marker on shrines...

    Breath of the Wild Strange Idea Regarding Location Names

    So, while I was printing today I kinda had this idea hit me out of left field. See, there are a lot of locations named after places from Koholint, but since that was never a real place and only Link ever went there, it's not like the names can be canonically linked to their counterparts. So I...

    Breath of the Wild Location Names: Lots of Interesting References

    I'm really enjoying all the little easter egg style names of places that I've been finding. It's cool because they reference many of the different games, regardless of which silly supposed timeline they come from. A few notable favorites of mine have been: Goponga Swamp Ruins Ralis Pond Ja'Abu...

    Breath of the Wild Notable Recipes

    Art Book Disappointment

    So after having looked through my Art and Artifacts book, I can't really stifle my disappointment at what was in there. Or, more specifically what wasn't in it. It seems that no matter where I look I can't seem to find print versions of the older promo artwork with a specific aesthetic. That...

    Thoughts on Bird-men

So bear with me. These are just thoughts to spitball. I have no backup claims of voracity. I...

    Favorite Changes/Additions

    So the seventh generation of Pokemon games has been out and in the hands of many of us recently, and it's been pretty enjoyable.

    Favorite Deity

    Just curious, which of the minor deities in the Zelda series do people enjoy most? It can be for any reason, such as their appearance, personality, or perhaps something about them just sets your imagination off and you can't help but think up neat lore for them. P.S. Sorry I had to condense a...

    Hyrule Warriors Second Round of DLC thoughts

    So far I've played as Marin and Skull Kid. I haven't played the game in a while. I'll still have to try some of the other new characters, and Ganondorf's Trident. But I really like Marin so far, she's a lot of fun. Skull Kid is useful, and his III combo is a great keep clearer. Both characters...

    Capture Tech Advice
