Legend of Zelda!!

[onyx vale]

Yess

Just like in real life, no light means no color

Since color is essentially light bouncing off of something

[fiery trail]

yeah Link looks almost like how he looked in that one section of Lake Hylia in botw

where he loses his cel shading

i wonder how age of calamity will age

[onyx vale]

of calamity

[fiery trail]

will age of calamity will age of calamity will age of

no but really now that totk made it completely irrelevant and non canon and anything

i used to swear by this game for the info it brought to the table but now i'm like... yeah this game didn't happen

i was so sure they were gonna reference it in totk and they didn't

[strong arrow]

To be fair, it never was canon

Sure it did reference certain events from Breath of the Wild, with Terrako creating the new alternative timeline, nothing in it was canon

[fiery trail]

was it ever stated ?

they banked hard on the idea the game was a prequel

[strong arrow]

Yes. It was said during some of the game's loading screens for each level

[fiery trail]

no i don't mean that

i've played the game i know it's a "new world"

what i meant is was it ever stated it wasn't canon

cause to me the sole argument in favor of canonicity was the descendants being brought back in time and then being brought back to their original timeline
even Tulin was sent in age of calamity and developed his own wind technique in that game, called Tulin's Tornado
so like, they were very clearly setting up Tulin in totk

Yunobo too was set up as standing up more for himself and being less cowardly and stuff

like the game was clearly setting up totk in some aspects

[onyx vale]

Tulin was in AoC?

[fiery trail]

yeah in the last dlc

[strong arrow]

I'm pretty sure that a new world means that anything that happens in it is completely unrelated to the main timeline

[fiery trail]

what do you make of the descendants

like, sidon comes from the botw timeline where mipha died

yunobo too where he met link and did stuff with him

[zinc monolith]

after you break a decayed one, you find it in the depths, the shadow soldiers are holding them

[somber parcel]

That's the main reason I complain about it.

[onyx vale]

Just watched the final two trailers for the first time

I'm glad I didn't watch them earlier lmfao

[regal needle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIzJKQAWPdI

[zinc monolith]

whaaa marbled rock roast tho

[fiery trail]

did you have a good time

[onyx vale]

Ye

[fiery trail]

also yeah i get they were spoilery but keep in mind they spoiled stuff out of context

[onyx vale]

The music...

[fiery trail]

now you have the context for what you've seen but at the time we didn't

[regal needle]

bomb flower are so delicious and mindblowing

[zinc monolith]

id try it over chuchu jelly, that's gotta just be thick water

[onyx vale]

I hate that I've kinda pieced together what's going to happen to Zelda later in the story

Not even through spoilers, just through stuff in-game

But I didn't wanna know yet 😭

[regal needle]

theres a shrine that literally put you in jail

[strong arrow]

Where is it?

[regal needle]

near lanayru mountain

you go south and next you go east

[strong arrow]

Thank you

[fiery trail]

can you sell rooms in the house

i'm super dumb i bought more rooms than i actually needed

time to load a very old save and redo tons of things then

this game seldom sucks

[strong arrow]

Yes, but only if you have some stored, which means that you first have to max out on rooms if you want to sell

[fiery trail]

i will never see the end of this game

[astral orbit]

I'm probably 120 hrs in and still so much more to do

I gotta show how my 1st ||King Gleeok|| fight went

[strong arrow]

I love the side quests and side adventures, especially the ones that involve Zonai ruins from the distant past

[fiery trail]

it's kinda crazy how much they did with the zonai in this game

if you told me back in botw zonai craze that zonais would be the main focus of the sequel i'd have gone bonkers

still sad we only get to see only a few zonai in the game though.. kinda wish we met a whole tribe or something

i know nintendo did intend for the game to be playable without having played botw

but man is the experience vastly better if you did

[fiery trail]

Has anyone found the underground bridge from the 2019 teaser trailer

I heard it is in the game in the depths but idk if it's true

[zinc monolith]

What does it look like?

[astral orbit]

Just beat totk
Le final battle is epique

[zinc monolith]

Facts

[zinc monolith]

Still don't know what this is and I did all the shrines

[mental igloo]

it's jump attack

[fiery trail]

this is the second time they've done this somehow

in the first game you could only unlock that by talking to the carrot dude in kakariko

and not only you had to talk to him and him only, but you had to talk to him at least TWICE, select the right dialog option but only at a certain moment in the day

[regal needle]

https://tenor.com/view/adam-warlock-gotg3-guardians-of-the-galaxy-meme-flying-gif-16191848131003490451

[regal needle]

you can also find it near hyrule field's chasm

[zinc monolith]

Oh ya I forgot

In breath of the wild, there was a quest to defeat all the bosses in the overworld
|| It's back in this game and it's weird because I don't know how they expect you to do it without a guide... You don't get that good of reward still. But when you have hinoxes left ... Can't even find them on a complete map guide ||

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-pirates-map-look-gif-7878843

I need seven but I can't even find one

[strong arrow]

Have you checked certain sky islands?

Usually they'll look like arenas, housing one of two bosses

[zinc monolith]

The guide says there's a zero up there

[mental igloo]

Sheikah Sensor

[fiery trail]

i'm wondering if there is a secret in this game

as in, in botw there was the mystery of the zonai

is there such a mystery in totk ? some stuff is left unexplained but it's not exactly mystery stuff

[mental igloo]

Not quite sure about secrets but TotK definitively ignited the timeline discussion again.
People were mostly content with the explanation they were given that BotW was the latest game in the timeline.
Then this game comes out and despite it supposedly being a sequel to BotW it's really inconsistent to what happened in BotW.
And the fact that it re-do's distinct events in the series (even the ones we originally got to see for ourselves) it's made people wonder if we should just trash the timeline we were given by Huryle Historia and make a new one instead.

[fiery trail]

we know for SURE that Skyward Sword and Ocarina of Time have happened in the botw timeline already

thanks to Creating a Champion and other hints in both botw and totk

[mental igloo]

Skyward Sword maybe but I highly doubt Ocarina of Time now.

[fiery trail]

now... hold on let me grab my copy of the artbook

nah the artbook talks about the hero of time and the princess of hyrule in there

[mental igloo]

I heard we were given an official timeline even before Hyrule Historia and they changed their mind on that one too

[fiery trail]

"ruto awakens as a sage and assists the princess of hyrule and the legendary hero"

[mental igloo]

Sure, but TotK can easily just make it into it's own version of "The Hero of Time" and not the one we're already familiar with.
They already made it's own version of Ganondorf and Rauru.

[fiery trail]

but we haven't seen the "legendary hero" in the events of totk

if the grey zora sage from rauru's time is ruto then who is the legendary hero

i absolutely think oot happened because of the sole mention of ruto being a sage and assisting the hero of legend

it's my only lead but it's quite strong

hmmm
why did the king from 10.000 years ago order that they bury the divine beasts after they ended the calamity with them

what's the deal with this king

sheikahs are out here inventing motorcycles and iPads and the dude is like "ok stop"

[mental igloo]

it's like how when i played BotW i thought Rauru Hillside was making a reference to this man

But then TotK came around and was like "Actually no it's this Rauru, don't you remember him?"

So now they can just do it with any name mention.

[fiery trail]

it could still be a reference to the other Rauru

[mental igloo]

Sure, maybe it was back when only BotW was around

[fiery trail]

shit gotta go sorry torbi

[mental igloo]

but it's not anymore, they retroactively changed it in TotK.

Alright

[regal needle]

zonai are fucking furries

[somber parcel]

Can't wait for 2029's Legend of Zelda: Smell of the Colonies to tell us who the new Ruto is

[fiery trail]

SotC ? Shadow of the colossus ?

[somber parcel]

Didn't think about the letters, but sure

[mental igloo]

Personally i hope they do go back to the timeline and decide to just completely break it apart and only connect the games that are deliberately connected to each other in their own games while letting the clusters of lore that they make up just hover in the void and be left to fan speculation.

Like WW and TP makes explicit mention of the Hero of Time in-game and Ganondorf's motivations in those two games stem from the things that happened to him in either timelines.

Four Swords and Four Swords Adventure has no business being on different timelines.

And the idea of downfall timeline should just be straight up removed since it is just a "What if" scenario compared to the adult and child timelines, which can exist at the same time and don't contradict each other.
It just makes it so they can make a "what if" scenario in every single game and that's just lazy and boring.

_ _
There's timetravel shenanigangs in Skyward Sword, why wasn't there a timeline split from that? One where Demise is destroyed late and another where he's destroyed early.

[fiery trail]

Youre absolutely correct

Why is minish cap after skyward sword ? Such an arbitrary place

[somber parcel]

And where's Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland in the timeline?

[mental igloo]

Games based on BotW alone seems to exist in what-if timelines of their own

[fiery trail]

Btw do you guys wanna see a botw theory that gets somewhat confirmed by exploring the depths in totk

[somber parcel]

Sure

[fiery trail]

https://youtu.be/4TONq8AI7go

[mental igloo]

You shouldn't have gone down there TotK.
You should have let it fuckin' rest just like your older sisters did.

[sullen widget]

Started thinking about making a cool fit for link, first one is the one i used in botw.
Armor Spoilers

[onyx vale]

Awesome

[regal needle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaWy0NAiWfw

[sullen widget]

Two more. Second one isn't in the dye preview because the original color is needed for the pants (so it isn't correctly dyed lol)

[zinc monolith]

What do you mean?
Unless the sensor can detect a radius of like 5 miles
And there's multiple versions of the bosses like the colors or skeletal forms
So unless you go to an area that you think has a hinox , and turn on five different sensors in a row to find them maybe..
I just wish once you had like 10 left in the world, just tell you where they are - know what I mean 🙂

[zinc monolith]

guys u know the thing in gerudo town about that guy in jail, not being able to see his wife/daughter?
Is that like a quest? seems like something that needs resolved but iirc it never triggered a quest

[fiery trail]

to my knowledge it's not a quest

talked to every party involved in that whole situation multiple times and nothing triggered

[zinc monolith]

Same

[fiery trail]

no it's not true i haven't logged 180 hours into totk who told you that

stop lying

[astral orbit]

There's no real reward for it

Outside of giving the guy some peace of mind

[fiery trail]

spoilers for Gerudo Highlands
||why is this shrine a shrine of blessing ? it's out in the open, the only challenge is reaching it because navigating the gerudo highlands isn't very fun
unless a quest lead to it but idk||

[astral orbit]

That was actually one of the last ones I found.
I mean - gift horse and all - but that was a surprise to me

[fiery trail]

oh interesting

i found it when g||oing on the star island with the ancient hylian writings on it that's nearby||

when did you guys learn that during botw zelda was actually ||inside ganon||

like i thought she was ||metaphorically inside it, like... idk she was transformed into sacred energy or whatever in order to combat the evil idk IDK HOW THINGS WORK but no she was legit just inside ganon
urgh||

[fiery trail]

man the glow up of death mountain and goron city in totk is so cool

i honestly didn't like death mountain in botw i probably spent the least amount of time there

but in totk man it's so inviting there's no lava you can walk everywhere it's not hot

love it love it

[regal needle]

no cel shading jumpscare

[sullen widget]

Fully ||lit up|| the ||depths||, ||i wish we could've gotten something better for it||

[mental igloo]

You got ||to know where every shrine is on the surface without needing to look it up online.||

[zinc monolith]

huge upside compared to botw

[sullen widget]

||i mean like I guess but like it'd be cool if they gave you a bunch of treasure maps or a cool weapon to buy at the bargainer statures.||

[zinc monolith]

facts

[zinc monolith]

im thinking about emulating it

[mental igloo]

Nintendo's fw

[zinc monolith]

i really like the game but feels limited

[onyx vale]

Bruh

[zinc monolith]

what

ive seen a few 60fps clips and like

[fiery trail]

found the biggest statue in the game and damn the biggest statue do be big

[mental igloo]

Cohozuna?

[fiery trail]

what ?

we're not in #1095582828294590474 @mental igloo

[strong arrow]

If you could describe Tears of the Kingdom in one word, what would it be?

[fiery trail]

idk why bombastic popped in my head
but not bombastic

uhhh epic ? sounds cliche but epic

for reference, serene would be botw

[mental igloo]

Doesn't matter, it's an angy Nintendo character with a gun and Nintendo is very well known for being trigger happy against people who emulate their games simply because of emulation's indirect relations to piracy.

[onyx vale]

wha

[fiery trail]

yeah i was gonna say

what

[mental igloo]

What do you mean "what"?

[fiery trail]

i said that we weren't in splatoon cause you mentioned cohozuna

and now you're referring back to your previous message which i didn't particularly care about

[mental igloo]

oh yeah i mixed it up

[fiery trail]

that's fine haha

[mental igloo]

My own reaction image made me think i was in the sploon thread.
Twice.

and i didn't remember statues being much of a thing in TotK

But yes, i guess you mean one of the Bargainers then?

Cause jesus christ some of them are massive

[fiery trail]

yeah i meant the bargainer one ||under the forgotten temple||

[strong arrow]

I would personally refer to it as being 'complex'.

The enemies are more complex, the bosses are more complex, the visuals are more complex, the mechanics are more complex, the Zonai technology is much more complex than the Sheikah technology could ever dream of being.

Everything about Tears of the Kingdom goes so much deeper into what was previously established in Breath of the Wild, because now it looks like it barely scratches the surface of how far the in-game world can go compared to Tears of the Kingdom

[fiery trail]

yeah that's fair

but totk is so rich BECAUSE they already had that foundation of botw

[strong arrow]

Yes, which is why although the sequel blows it out of the water, that doesn't make Breath of the Wild any less of a groundbreaking title. Without Tears of the Kingdom, I think for quite a few people, Breath of the Wild would be considered the greatest game of all time

[fiery trail]

it's been one month can we talk about something

spoilers for big events in the game
the fucking ||draconification music|| is ||the music that plays at the beginning of the third trailer
i find this so cool||

[astral orbit]

Huge

[haughty moat]

Guys is there an item duplication glitch I want money

[mental igloo]

⬆️

[haughty moat]

Thanks

[fiery trail]

what why did they put a fun minigame next to|| the coliseum||

i was like "where's the funny goron hammer minigame everyone keeps posting about i can't find it"

it's right next to|| three headed satan shitting thunder||

why

there's no road to here it's all steep cliffs how are you supposed to find this on your own

how are you supposed to reach this on foot ? seriously

[zinc monolith]

There's a quest that leads you up there, from one of the stables iirc

that's how i found it and it successfully distracted me lol

[mental igloo]

There's also a Korok that leads you up there

[onyx vale]

moz could you please spoiler mark things like these next time 😭 thank you

[sullen widget]

[fiery trail]

right sorry man

[zinc monolith]

I love having all the shrines completed
But I'm missing one shrine quest

[onyx vale]

Lmao

Good luck talking to every NPC

[sullen widget]

In botw I managed to skip a part of that one korok quest where you had to follow him

So i got the shrine without the shrine quest being completed

[mental igloo]

That last shrine took me a while to find, it just didn't trigger the sheikah sensor ||where lightroot said it should be, all because it was tied to a shrine quest.||

[fiery trail]

fun shrine

love that one

[somber parcel]

||Nirvana Plateau ||

[drowsy cliff]

I finally beat the game (at least the main story).
Boy, what a ride. I definitely need to take a moment to take it in before I give my full thoughts. So far though, easily one of my favorite gaming experiences and an amazing continuation of this new era of Zelda.

[regal needle]

||something in my ass||

[regal needle]

when you equip a ||divine beast mask, one of the sage get a zonai mask that look like their ancestors in the flashbacks||

[somber parcel]

||And when using|| Big Spoilers ||robot, the Zonaite set's Mask also gives a mask||

[zinc monolith]

[regal needle]

best weapons in the game?

[zinc monolith]

i hear the bone weapons + radiant armor does the most damage

[onyx vale]

Forgot the mention but I loved the detail of Kohga ||being stuck in the depths after what happened to him in BotW||

It makes so much sense! And it's so funny!

[zinc monolith]

If there is DLC that adds new zonai parts. What should that be?

[fiery trail]

All Bargainer statue reward spoilers
||unlocked the tunic of memories, it feels just like home||

[somber parcel]

"Enhancer": Boosts the power of other Zonai parts it is in a construct attached to (wheels spin faster, damaging parts deal more damage)
"Rope": Literally a rope lmao
"Boombox": Emits a sound that can be used to lure enemies
"Power Wheel": A giant hamsterwheel large enough to fit a horse, which can be used to power constructs.
"Med Station": When standing in front of this item, it sprays a healing mist.
"Warp Shooter": An item that warps the user to it's location when thrown or fired from a Bow (idk how to use it with multishot Bows)

[zinc monolith]

those are good ideas, I've brought it up before but some kind of alternate steering stick with a button on it that activates the other parts when you press Y(turn on fans, shoots cannons, etc) like banjo kazooie nuts and bolts - an elbow join would be cool too

or a sticky ball that has super high traction

[glossy locust]

I like the Warp Shooter idea. Also like the idea of a...I'll call it a "trigger" part that Tev's suggesting.

I'd love to get a Wing...that DOESN'T despawn like what we've got already does after a decently short distance IMO.

[zinc monolith]

maybe the enhancer could fix that

[glossy locust]

The Electric motors from one shrine becoming a Zonai part outright would be welcome too.

[zinc monolith]

True

[strong arrow]

• Large rocket
  Like the large battery in the sense that it offers much more power than the regular rocket, and stays out a longer duration before disappearing

• Floating platform
  This one might be a pretty big stretch, but the huge floating platforms would be an awesome addition in my opinion, as they've always had more appeal to me than the hover stones

• Some form of repair device for weapons, like the rock octoroks but they don't add any special effects. They would also be another rare device to come across, as it would be ridiculous to have fifty of these just pop out of a device dispenser

[WATER TEMPLE SPOILERS]

• ||Water orb||
  ||This could be used for combat, as well as possibly having capabilites for traversal in some way, but you could just head to a bokoblin camp with one of these and drown them all with it.|| Once again another stretch, but it could potentially work well.

• Electric batteries
  Rechargeable batteries that exclusively use electricity, and don't despawn once they've used their charge. Another one to add to the rare items list, but I'm adding all of these items to the list assuming duplication glitches exist

As for things I've seen other people mention that I agree with; I'd love to see how a rope would interact with the different Zonai devices at our disposal.

[zinc monolith]

Good ideas

[strong arrow]

Mostly stretches, but I would love that large rocket

[fiery trail]

ok i don't understand people criticizing koroks

i legit don't

you guys remember Nerrel ? the majora's mask guy, the one whose video is always in recommended

well dude is saying, in earnest, that he doesn't like the korok puzzles

well don't fucking do them ??? they're optional dingus

you people who hate koroks are so dumb honestly i'm sorry but it's true

[glossy locust]

Just cos something is optional doesn't free it from criticism IMO. I don't really mind or frankly care about the Koroks though myself.

[fiery trail]

yeah no idk why the dude is complaining about playing the game

[fiery trail]

i personally think it frees it completely

but yeah no Nerrel is like "i don't like fetch quests"
oh you don't like exploring the world and gathering resources as you do ? the whole name of the game ?

at this point just stop playing

dude groans at every addison sign

dude hates fun lol

[glossy locust]

Nah. Content that people dislike but is not forced upon you should still get called out if you dislike it strongly enough. My example here is extreme but...the mindset of "it's optional, so meh" is how we've ended up with Mictotransactions or Battle Passes everywhere and how Lootboxes rose up.

[fiery trail]

yeah no i can't this guy doesn't get what makes botw and totk

he's very much reward-driven

dude complains about caves because all he finds in them is rock salt, bad weapons, bubbul frogs and sometimes pieces of armor

okay weirdo i like caves because i like exploring

the caves are the rewards

playing the game is playing the game

[fiery trail]

i guess that's true yeah

[sullen widget]

People are entitled to their own opinions lmao

[fiery trail]

i guess

but like.. they're optional

why do you groan if you find one

you don't have to find all of them

[sullen widget]

Not necessarily

[fiery trail]

in fact if you do the devs shit on you

[sullen widget]

They upgrade your weapon slots

[fiery trail]

yeah they're worth it

idk why people complain

i collect them for fun i don't even upgrade my weapon slots

[sullen widget]

I'd guess because they want weapon slots without being forced to go find a bunch of usually hidden puzzles

Not to mention that the only way to get help is to find the korok mask

[fiery trail]

why are people playing a zelda game if they don't like exploring nor solving puzzles

that's what koroks are and that's what zelda has always been

[sullen widget]

hidden

[fiery trail]

it just doesn't make sense

[sullen widget]

to you

[fiery trail]

yeah it's why i'm even typing about it

I'm sorry, I'm getting mad about a random video, I'll stop

[strong arrow]

I personally just hate two things about it, those being the exponential increase in the amount of Korok seeds required to increase your inventory slots, especially when comparing to the +1 seed increase from Breath of the Wild. Second one on my list would be the ever-infamous "Hestu's gift".

[zinc monolith]

Based

Kororks are good because there's never a dead end
Always something at the end of every road, something at the top of every mountain

[fiery trail]

https://tenor.com/view/lips-funny-gif-10978745

you know a video sucks when you keep doing one of those during it

[zinc monolith]

Is he the guy that said Majora's mask 3D sucks because it keeps track of your side quests

[fiery trail]

yes

tbf he does adress some complaints which i will agree suck balls

like the sages system being super convoluted or the zonai devices expiring

[glossy locust]

The only expiring Zonai device that bugs me is the Wing.

Would be great in so many builds. Had it as the "saucer" section of my Enterprise but the fact it expires so fast ruins the build.

Dunno if Sleds expire but if they do, then I expect that'll bother me greatly too.

[mental igloo]

Personally for a DLC i'd love for them to add an Empty Zonai Capsule item where you could then fuse otherwise rare environmental objects into the capsule for use later.

[fiery trail]

oooh that's a sweet idea

[glossy locust]

Been thinking about using my weapons to store those in my home storage, so such an item would be incredibly helpful to me!

[fiery trail]

i do think such items would need to be scarce though

[zinc monolith]

Wdym I don't understand

[fiery trail]

imagine getting empty zonai capsules

and i'm guessing like you could throw them onto zonai devices

and by doing so you store the devices that were out in the world and you put them into the zonai capsule you had

or wait no just zonai capsules, imagine doing that with any item ?

like any item you cannot carry with you nor pick

like a big ass plate, just throw an empty zonai capsule at it and POOF

[glossy locust]

OK, am FINALLY doing one of the 4 regional phenomena lines! lol

[zinc monolith]

[astral orbit]

Just two more shrines...I think

[glossy locust]

||And Fire Temple done.||

[zinc monolith]

[strong arrow]

I hate the sheer amount of blessing shrines in this game, but they make for some fantastic pictures

[zinc monolith]

there's not many

[somber parcel]

That's another one that would be good.
"Big Ass Plate": It's self-explanatory

[strong arrow]

I completely disagree.

Here's my experience with shrines, split into uneven quarters, and in order of how much I've run into them;

1. Blessing shrines
   It's cool when you overcome a difficult challenge, and receive a blessing from Rauru as the reward for it, but there's way too many in this game, and almost all of them feel unearned.

2. Proving grounds
   These are actually cool, although less abundant than the blessing shrines, and being better because they have an actual challenge required to get through them, I still think there's too many. Once again, not as bad as the blessing shrines, but still too many.

3. Half-baked puzzles
   These are just more disappointing than anything, as once you get past what seems like the tutorial to this shrine, you immediately receive the light of blessing, with getting more of a fully-fledged concept.

4. Complete puzzles
   For better or worse, I still love these shrines. They're very few and far between, but I can always appreciate a good puzzle shrine, especially when the concept feels completed.

Overall I really just wish there were more full puzzle shrines, and the reason why I make this claim about too many blessing shrines is because I've almost done every shrine, and it's a major disappointment to find out that most of them are pretty much just free blessings.

[zinc monolith]

Ya I agree on the half baked puzzles

ya I still dont recall any blessing shrines that aren't earned or ones you didnt have to go through a challenge

my issue is, you gotta go thru two loading zones (what if it gave you the orb outside) ek

[strong arrow]

Most of them are just a simple 'carry the crystal a couple of meters and it turns into the shrine'. If some of them require quests to do, then that's, but sadly that is not the case

[zinc monolith]

Ya there def is a lot of crytal shrines

also side note, "breaking" the game and doing the "unintended" solutions is fun and all but so many shrines you can just use a bomb arrow / bomb jump / rewind and you're done once you realize you can do this, it's hard to tell yourself ya I'll try doing this the more elaborate way and see what this shrine has to offer

[strong arrow]

I personally haven't tried to exploit any of the shrines, as that just takes the fun out of them for me. I'm not gonna knock anyone who does it, but I just don't like it, and I see it as sort of a braindead solution to some relatively easy problems

[zinc monolith]

Makes sense since you seem so formal

bullet points and such

[strong arrow]

I just think it'd be cool to solve some puzzles in an interesting manner, without just sticking a bomb to a shield and calling it a day.

The dev team made quite the amount of fantastic shrines in Breath of the Wild, so this time I feel like although they heavily amped up the aesthetics, they were very much lacking in actual puzzle design

[zinc monolith]

to be fair, breath of the wild had a good handful of lackluster puzzle shrines

this one you scoop a ball, this one you use motion controls to get the ball out the maze

[strong arrow]

True, and they did have some bad shrines, like the ever-infamous shrine in Hateno Village, but those same developers also created the Ne'ez Yohma shrine

And although you could make the same argument about the blessing shrines in this game with the tests of strength from Breath of the Wild, the tests of strength were still some form of a challenge, despite being relatively easy, and also not having too much requirement in the thinking department to complete them

Still, I'm not going to act like just because I have a couple of major gripes, that this is a bad game now, because it's an amazing game, but much like Breath of the Wild, it is still flawed

[zinc monolith]

test of strengths, no matter the challenge... it was just the same repeated, boring!

[strong arrow]

I will admit that the proving grounds were more creative, so this one just comes down to personal taste, but I personally just like a classic one-on-one combat challenge

[zinc monolith]

u fight enemies all the time, being put in a unique channel is neater

🙂

[strong arrow]

Agreed. Despite me liking the tests of strength more, it is a nice refresher seeing all of the unique combat challenges the developers have cooked up for you

[strong arrow]

In your opinion, what is the single best piece of armor in the game from a visual standpoint?

[astral orbit]

I'll give two answers.
If I'm including the reference fits, then I'm big on the OoT shirt piece.
If I'm not, then I'm big on the updated ||Champion's Tunic found in Hyrule Castle||

[fiery trail]

the one you get from finding all bargainer statues

[fiery trail]

scratch that, the zonaite armor i think it's called ? the torso piece
it looks so dope

[strong arrow]

Pretty good contender. It does go with most pieces of armor

Personally I'd go for the Desert Voe Headband. I just love the way Link's hair looks when wearing it

[onyx vale]

The climbing gear shirt is very versatile I feel like

[sullen widget]

i like the royal guard boots

[zinc monolith]

Can you upgrade the royal guard armor

[fiery trail]

where can i find eggs in somewhat big quantity

[zinc monolith]

hit cuccos

[strong arrow]

Sadly, no.

[fiery trail]

ohh right i can scare cuccoos

good advice

[zinc monolith]

but you could in botw iirc?

[strong arrow]

Also no

[strong arrow]

Another good piece, personally one that I used to wear a lot in-game, and it's really the whole set that's great

[zinc monolith]

https://www.ign.com/wikis/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom/Royal_Guard_Set is ign wrong

[fiery trail]

man i'm not a horse person but i love my horse in botw and totk

the fact you can make any horse the ultimate horse in totk is so cool

i made my horse a bit faster and the difference is FELT

[tropic fulcrum]

you can upgrade the royal guard set

[strong arrow]

Wait really?

I thought the DLC itmes from Breath of the Wild weren't able to be upgraded

[tropic fulcrum]

I've upgraded one of the parts

[zinc monolith]

Why did 13 lie

[fiery trail]

13 is a liar

[somber parcel]

They weren't able to in BoTW, but some can now.

[strong arrow]

Very cool to see. I like that

[zinc monolith]

Did ign lie

That's totk nevermind

[zinc monolith]

And yes anyway

[fiery trail]

why did they remove the Stone Smasher I'm gonna puke

it looks so cool 😦

[strong arrow]

Thumbnail spoilers for the Zonaite armor.
This is some great information on all possible fuse items

||https://youtu.be/WI1a49L73As||

[fiery trail]

i kinda want to learn all those by myself but also

i don't have the time to do that

but also i want to know

so i'll go watch it

man this makes me wonder what happens if you fuse a rocket to a boomerang

[zinc monolith]

He didn't explain what happens if you put a rocket on a boomerang? Isn't that the point of his video

I watched some of it, He didn't really go into the uses of fusing things to arrows and throwing swords

[fiery trail]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpFoMHQ1nyw

[fiery trail]

anyone else has motion control issues in totk ?

sometimes i'll aim my bow and move my controller and nothing will happen

i'll have to like, use the right stick for a second for the game to register i'm aiming my bow or something

this definitely didn't happen in botw but it keeps happening in totk

[fiery trail]

i just realised something

i thiiiink every stable with a fairy fountain nearby has a well with fairies in them

nevermind it's fake

[zinc monolith]

Clory in the house

[fiery trail]

this game blows why does using electric weapons in the rain kill you

i'm like certain it didn't kill you in botw

[regal needle]

because ⚡ + 💧 = 💀 irl

[fiery trail]

yeah but it didn't do that in botw

[fiery trail]

Beedle is insufferable in totk

[mental igloo]

i think i've talked to beedle once in totk

140+ hours of playtime

[regal needle]

yeah beedle is useless now

[fiery trail]

no he has his uses

he's just creepy and weird now

[sullen widget]

i love beedle he's the GOAT

[zinc monolith]

How's he different from botw

[fiery trail]

he throws a tantrum and wants to kill you if you don't give him the fucking rarest beetles known to man, explains those death threats in several lenghty text boxes which pressures you to give him your beetles if you don't want to deal with that nonsense, then he goes and tells you insect facts someone could google whenever you buy him some bugs

gone is the charming lovable goofball Beedle

make way for insect incel

[zinc monolith]

I see

Now that I think about it, idk if I have ever read any dialogue from a shop keeper

[fiery trail]

just did the floating coliseum on my first try technically

fairly certain i wouldn't haven taken as much damage as I did if I didn't have issues with my motion controls...

i think i'll try doing it shield-less and damage-less in the future

sounds like a fun challenge

[zinc monolith]

I just did my 2nd playthrough
Not really a Speedrun but a quick play, just kinda started at the start and went to the end (just got the phantom armor)

[fiery trail]

i think the intended path to zora's domain was this one

highly suggest you take it cause it's very cool you go into caves and shit

[strong arrow]

What were the most interesting, and most disappointing enemies you've come across so far?

[astral orbit]

Most interesting is King Gleeok.
Most disappointing might be the Frox.

Spent so much time running from that thing. Turns out it's just a Talus that takes deep breathing exercises

[zinc monolith]

ditto that

[fiery trail]

most disappointing is the aerocuda by far

fighting aerial enemies may be a pain i admit but like, only giving it one hp ? that's pushing it

[astral orbit]

Not much different than Keese in that respect

Except they are higher in the air

[zinc monolith]

https://youtu.be/WPIZcUTljFQ

[strong arrow]

This is actually the perfect way to describe the Aerocuda.

It's just a bigger Keese, and the only thing it does differently from its fellow airborne enemy is carry bokoblins and small items

[mental igloo]

I guess they're kind of a threat when you're trying to glide far distances from a sky island when you have no arrows and too little zonai items and battery to splurge on flying contraptions.

[regal needle]

they cant hit you when you are gliding

[strong arrow]

You have to be very unlucky to be in this circumstance. Especially considering how easy a majority of the things listed are to come by

[fiery trail]

calling it now the dlc will bring in "zonaite horse armor" that allows you to power up your horse using the battery and also teleport it around

[strong arrow]

Or you could attach Zonai devices to your horse. Sort of like the towing harness, but you can attach stuff directly onto the horse

[fiery trail]

no that would be goofy

[fiery trail]

i think the cutest place in the game is ||in the depths, beneath Satori Mountain||

wait hold the phone

i saw a giant ass crater the other day in the game

that thing wasn't in botw

[mental igloo]

All i can say to the devs is good luck making horses good in this game.

They were situational in BotW and eventually got trivialised by the Mastercycle and they're even worse now that you can make your own vehicle that can be potentially even crazier than the mastercycle ever was.

At least the Mastercycle was an end-game item so horses had at least one niche use in BotW for a good chunk of a playthrough but now you can just make a resource efficient flying machine so early it's not even a contest.

[fiery trail]

horses aren't meant to be "good" they're meant to be there if you enjoy the serene aspect of totk

i enjoyed using them in botw and i enjoy using them in totk

i like that you can even enhance your favorite horse

so cool

[mental igloo]

Horses were meant to be the fastest way to traverse long distances with the limitation being the kind of terrain they could go on, but now they're only here because they were a thing in BotW and for the sake of world-building, cause how else are the other normal citizens without access to magic machines and teleportation going to traverse the kingdom in a reasonable amount of time.

[fiery trail]

i guess you're right

man the french translation always amazes me

in japanese Blupees are ルミー or "Rumī"
and in french they're named "Rumy"

and Bubbulfrogs are named "Elusis", the japanese name for Bubbulfrogs is the word "delusion"
so.. delusion... elusis... close enough

[regal needle]

near rito village?

cuz the crater was in botw (with a talus in it)

[glossy locust]

Honestly, if Tears of the Kingdom gets DLC, I dunno if I'll get it. Game is stuffed enough as is for me so far! lol

And by that first "if", I of course mean "when".

[fiery trail]

today i restarted botw

yes i'm playing botw

I miss fuse and being able to throw materials :(

[zinc monolith]

[sullen widget]

Yeah but now you can throw metal objects like a lunatic

[astral orbit]

On the subject of horses, still sour about no base game Epona

[fiery trail]

just discovered traveler bridle and saddle are amiibo exclusive in botw

what the fuck dude it's the canon equipment for link's horse

it's like if the champion's tunic was locked behind the botw link amiibo

[zinc monolith]

that's werid, they dont even look that cool

[fiery trail]

i wonder if totk will have a trial of the sword type of challenge

maybe instead of combat encounters, it's a tower full of puzzle ? like... cut every shrine in three, and tape all these different thirds into a big tower and you do each puzzle after the other

idk

...i may have described a dungeon

that's what dungeons are

it's a very fun part of botw for sure

i remember the rooms where it's pitch black

so fun and spooky

[fiery trail]

talking to Hudson in BotW is so funny

dude makes one word sentences and Link quips back at him with the same phlegm

[celest dune]

I made a frend! I called him Roket Hors

[barren dagger]

It's not anything amazing but it sure did make me laugh. Second death of my playthrough. First hour

[strong arrow]

Would someone mind explaining to me why the rockets make this contraption move in slow motion?

[mental igloo]

Maybe rockets have a cap on their own rotation speed to give them a straighter travel path when used traditionally.

[strong arrow]

That would make a lot of sense when you think about it. Maybe the developers only intended for the rockets to go in a straight line? (Or at least as straight of a line as possible when other rockets at different angles are in play)

Too bad though as it could've given me a faster spinning machine

[fiery trail]

oh my god

[somber parcel]

[regal needle]

bruh theres a chasm under zora domain 💀

[fiery trail]

there is ?

huh, there is

[regal needle]

yeah if you find the vah ruto helmet you will find it

[regal needle]

do you know a wind waker rom (for the gc) that has the red sail in it?

[haughty moat]

Help how did I bring him ||to the surface???||

He doesn’t like Zonai machines

[fiery trail]

why do you want to do that

[haughty moat]

I thought he could be my pet

[regal needle]

you cant

once he touch air he disappear

[strong arrow]

||To get these pictures, I had to go to the highest point in the game. This journey took me three tries, as I redid one due to the distance of any ground at all being off, and another time where I was trying to open the pause menu and jumped off of my Zonai device||

[regal needle]

||the highest point like the big pillar over lanayru mountain?||

[strong arrow]

No. It's the little flower-shaped sky island right above Lookout Landing

[regal needle]

ok

wait what you can go on this island?

[strong arrow]

Yes, but it does take a while to get there

look like you havent play a lot of any other 3d zelda games

[fiery trail]

yeah i don't like 3d zelda

i dropped twilight princess at the water temple

i dropped ocarina of time at the forest temple

i dropped wind waker on the starting island

[fiery trail]

what are you on

you have to do 3 dungeons before the forest temple

that's not half an hour

[regal needle]

he mean the deku tree

[fiery trail]

i'm amazed how people figured out you could kill ||colgera|| by ||diving through its weak point||

i just ||used fire arrows
it's ice
you melt the ice with fire||

it's way more obvious than ||diving|| through it but apparently that's what most people did okay

[strong arrow]

The fight actually presents diving through Colgera's body as a means of defeating it. There is a reason why it moves under you and shoots out spikes.

||(Also not sure if you know or not, but regular arrows also work against the boss)||

[sullen widget]

I'm amazed how nobody is spoiler marking an important boss

||i get it it's been a bit but imo you should probably still spoiler mark the bigger bosses, if you forget to spoiler mark like gloom hands or phantom ganon then it's not really a big deal||

[fiery trail]

it's been a full month

heck almost two monthes

[sullen widget]

It still would be a nice thing to do since it is a large release and there are definitely people still getting the game

||You can definitely dodge them, I don't think you're meant to stand close to her. You know her weakness right?||

[fiery trail]

||okay but like how are you supposed to hit her four times so she falls over, when she's white||

||like, i hit her with an elemental attack, she becomes white, she flies over to the spot, i rush to hit her four times so i can whack her but half the time she just... destroys me instead||

[sullen widget]

||I used ice weapons/arrows to slow her down so i can get a hit or two in then run back to a safe distance||

[fiery trail]

so you just never use melee weapons during the fight ?

im gonna give my final opinion on totk now that i almost did the 100% : ||game need more things, it need more enemies, more interesting quests, more interesting area (unlike those copypasted islands), biomes in the depths, better dungeon that are not multiples shrines into one, theres so many missed opportunies and i hate that||

[strong arrow]

Oddly enough, this game has had a much shorter shelf life for me than its predecessor, despite having so many quality-of-life updates.

I think there was just a certain charm that comes with playing Breath of the Wild, a charm that is somehow lost when playing Tears of the Kingdom.

[fiery trail]

yeaah think so too

[strong arrow]

It definitely has some higher highs than Breath of the Wild. That Ganondorf fight in the end has easily become one of my favorite boss fights ever, the abilities are pretty cool and creative, but overall I think the game needs a lot more. It's definitely not a direct copy of the first game like some people have suggested, but it needs more to differentiate itself, especially if Nintendo wants to justify it having seventy dollar price point. ||even though we were gonna eat it up no matter what the price was like we did||

[fiery trail]

working on a machine to exit the depths, in the context of a no fast travel run

[glossy locust]

Was something I had as a main goal too in a similar run, but I just decided to use the spots where you can ascend directly instead of another machine.

Or hitch a ride on one of the dragons. That was probably the more frequent one, actually, since they went by spots I was headed sometimes too.

[glossy locust]

Speak for yourself with that spoiler. My friends are really baffled not only by my resistance to paying the £60 Nintendo wanted, but my successfully grabbing the game for £35.

[fiery trail]

spoilers the final boss is ganondorf

[somber parcel]

God damnit! I wanted the Final Boss to be Eggman!

Spoilers for final boss, genuinely. ||On the subject of Ganondorf, did anyone else have a bit of panic kick in when he pulled off a perfect dodge on our Flurry Rush? ||

[fiery trail]

||I was like OH FUCK||

||with the restrictions I had Ganondorf was a genuine challenge so him pulling that out of nowhere was like the icing on the cake||

||Part of me wishes he'd also followed up with his own Flurry Rush instead of that single swing. The dodge had me worried, but his own combo rush after would have been what made me go "Oh FUCK!" personally.||

Only the first time ||he did it. The rest of it afterwards was a different kind of dread, "Oh god, how much of this fight is going to be interrupted by slow motion where nothing is happening?" Conceptually the fight was kinda cool, but the way it asks you to excessively rely on flurry rushes to get any decent amount of damage in made it feel way too much like a game of Simon says.||

Gave me a start, that's for sure.

Trying to come up with weird rules for another ToTK playthrough.
First up is 'the continuity of shirt'. It's funny that Link randomly loses his shirt in the cutscene following the final battle, so the only armor I'll be using are pants.
Got any more for me?

Maybe this was asked already here, but is there a good site/server for TotK Zonai builds?
I imagine something like our #stage-sharing channel or stage builder guide

(Just got into the game now. Hope I can build some new shrines stages in the future)

that is so clean

Ikr, it should have been the game's cover art

[fluid scroll]

is there a higher res version of this art somewhere?

[tropic fulcrum]

Hmm, best I could find was the official nintendo twitter post but it's still only 1080x1080. Hopefully they post a high res one somewhere

🤞

It should've been a reverse-able cover
