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

It used to be Lemonades, but apparently those have been replaced by another lemon-flavored cookie. I tried it, and it’s worse. I guess now thin mints win by default.

I saw the 2017 one as it went directly over my town, but this one isn’t even coming close.

They were also pretty common in the 6th gen. They were usually a nice change of pace, just something to break up the monotony of the general gameplay for a while and nothing more. They were usually pretty fun, but nothing that I’m overly itching to return to.

Both Winds and Trains. I always envisioned a game where a new Link in New Hyrule went on an adventure with a seasoned ST Link to outset, where they find an old WW/PH Link and you could play as all 3. Of course I just want Links from across generations to show up more often in general. The fact...

As far as individual puzzles go, the DS Zeldas had some excellent ones. I don’t know what it is about the DS touch screen that made all of its games have such excellent puzzles, but I’m not complaining.

Pikmin - “You planted Grass?”

Well like I’ve said before, 2023 was a packed year for better or for worse. I completely understand why they don’t have much of anything to show for 2024 so far.

My original was just the official artwork for fierce deity link. I should probably change my avatar back to the classic plinko avatar soon, shouldn’t I?

There have been a lot of sources recently pointing to the idea that the next console was originally going to release this year, but has been delayed to next year. I wonder if that’s just because of a lack of new titles.

I just want it to be better. I know that’s kind of a vague answer but I’m not sure how else to put it. The first game was a really good start, but it needed a lot more polish. The pacing was probably my biggest issue with it, but the battle system also could have used a little more depth.

We have a regular in the store. A Vietnam vet. Today he came in with his daughter, who said it was his birthday. He bought a copy of Final Fantasy 12 and Tales of the Abyss. He then told me that his wife passed away just two weeks ago. He seemed distraught and told me that they were sure he was...

Every single console ever made has a story. A story of how it was conceived, how it was designed, how it was marketed, and how it performed against its competition. Sometimes the lesser known ones can be particularly interesting. Inspired by my purchase of a 3DO yesterday, are there any...

Apparently in Japan Mother 3 was one of the games announced to be coming to NSO in addition to what’s coming over here. I didn’t even like mother 3 and I’m kinda annoyed.

https://www.nintendo.com/us/nintendo-direct/02-21-2024/ Partner Showcase on Wednesday. Ordinarily I’d be quite disappointed, and I still am, but this time less so if only because there’s a very real chance that Level-5 (and therefore the only game I have to be excited for) is going to have a...

I like the armored trains because they add a little more challenge to the overworld. It’s why I slightly prefer the overworld in ST over the one in PH. The dark trains can suck it though.
