Aaahhhhhhhhhh

#

man, that was a 9/10 for me

#

easily

#

So just to recap slightly:
||holy hell, dual puzzle solving, hell yes ||

#

|| holy hell, TAG TEAM COMBAT, HELL YEAH ||

#

such a sweet and heartwarming scene, I love that || she looked pretty neutral to all the other creatures until Tri shows up and then she has that big smile ||

#

Unexpectedly sweet

#

that was so so sweet and awesome

#

easy 9/10 for me personally that was amazing it was everything I wanted out of a new Zelda minus some extremely minor nitpicks that I don't really ultimately care that much about because everything was just so well done

#

that was awesome

#

Final playtime: ~31 hours when going for 100% completion

#

pretty good

lean pike
#

nice

#

so out of pure curiosity and because Echoes was so fresh in my mind I booted up Link's Awakening and I don't know why I'd expect otherwise but man this is a classic ass Zelda experience rdlol
cutting down grass for rupees, various hazards and roadblocks that can only be traversed after gaining a specific item, progression tied down to specific events that you have to follow in a specific order with specific items, this is a classic Zelda alright

#

I don't really know if I'm gonna finish it, I might just casually play through it since it's pretty short too just to see what's up since I never played Link's Awakening, only did the first dungeon so far, surprised to see how much of this they reused for Echoes although that game plays and feels much better

#

So glad that, even though it's tied to a specific item, you can also jump in this game rdsnrk it just feels so natural after Echoes

#

No lock-on though, bummer, but even if I don't finish this it's very nice and cool to see all the good lessons they took from this and where they improved for Echoes

lean pike
#

heh

civic hawk
#

Lol I love the phrasing when you get the Strength bracelet, it says: ''The Bracelet of Strength! Now you can finally pick up pots and rocks!'' rdsnrk

#

It really is a ''finally'' moment

lean pike
#

it's always a bit frustrating playing a game and it feels like the final boss is the UI

#

I just finished a link to the past

civic hawk
#

I wonder if Nintendo will ever remake that game the same way they did Link's Awakening since that's the other super popular 2D Zelda
Hope you enjoyed it

#

Also, as for me:

#

Chest_Opening.wav
pipppipphooray na-na-na-naaaaaaa 🎶 it's here!

#

And it weighs like a dead body!

lean pike
#

neat

lean pike
civic hawk
#

I'd like that, especially since I've wanted to play those for a while
Definitely seems like the game where a bundle would make more sense than separate games especially now

lean pike
#

It's like

#

I get the impression they wanted to make it and then sell dual/triple zelda games like Pokemon but I don't think it sold particularly well so that idea kind of died

civic hawk
#

I don't know if Zelda is the kind of franchise that would work well with that Pokemon style dual release, I think it was a cool experimentation and a neat novelty but I doubt it would've been a good idea in the long run at least to me
I think what ''killed'' those games the most is that they came out after the 2000s, for the GBC when the GBA was already out and was the hot new console and also Majora's Mask and Windwaker were out by that time too

#

So I'm assuming that there wasn't as much hype about those as much as the other ones, but they've always seemed like good games, I really dig their aesthetics and I would love to see a LA style remake for em, maybe with a different artstyle though...

lean pike
#

I think the novelty part of it is part of the reason it hasn't really been remade or anything. It'd require a lot of work to make it happen

civic hawk
#

Would it? How long are those games anyway? I think they could definitely be bundled together as one game, or maybe a collection

#

If they decided to expand them though... yeah

#

Even Link's Awakening remake seems to be pretty short, like maybe 9 hours ish?

lean pike
#

I think they're both full length games

civic hawk
#

oh wow huh

#

it'd be a pretty big one

lean pike
#

like they're made like pokemon games

#

it's weird

#

like you have the Maku tree, which looks like this in ages and this is seasons and so on

civic hawk
#

oh wow

#

Link's Awakening is also weird like that where it has so much Mario stuff in it

#

I wonder if the oracle games even have weird pokemon like transferable data stuff

#

Maybe instead of pokemons you can transfer items, though I don't know how that'd work

lean pike
#

well the connection was a secret passcode or something that caused the game to change slightly and/or open the last boss, ganon

civic hawk
#

That's a bit crazy to lock that behind needing both games rdwut

#

also speaking of the Ganon from Echoes looks weirdly a lot like the one from Oracle, specifically

#

It's funny seeing how he goes from a silly little pig guy to nightmare creature

lean pike
#

Minish Cap is interesting but it's also kind of wacky

#

like the whole kinstone thing seems to be partly random

#

the cap is also a person

#

which is weird

sharp violet
#

All good things

civic hawk
#

Man I keep forgetting to start playing Minish Cap

#

I really should

#

It's one of the very few Zeldas I haven't touched yet

#

That's fine by me, I'm mostly interested in seeing what's going on with the story with that one but I fully expect the overall game to feel pretty similar to the classic Zelda experiences

#

have you guys seen this commercial ? it's one of my favorites of all time https://youtu.be/cjpHzLYHkwA?feature=shared

http://www.zeldadungeon.net/
This commercial for A Link to the Past is entirely in Japanese, but it is absolutely hilarious. It's a bunch of Japanese dancing. Princess Zelda is shown in a cage, and is under attack by enemies until Link comes to save the day. Afterwords Zelda joins Link and continues the obnoxious dance. The commercial concludes ...

▶ Play video
civic hawk
#

I kinda hate how good the dancing is and how incredible those costumes and set designs are

#

It's always fun seeing the classic Zeldas depicted 'realistically', I've always been of the opinion that Link's classic outfit isn't silly looking at all and fits perfectly well with a medieval fantasy setting

#

Also that's totally a girl playing Link so cool to see they were going for the androgynous look so early on rdwut

unique dagger
#

yea iirc from the Hyrule Historia Link was designed to be androgynous from the start which i like

civic hawk
#

Afterwords Zelda joins Link and continues the obnoxious dance
This commercial is not quite up to the nerdiness of the two Legend of Zelda american commercials, but certainly on par in strangeness.

#

Ah yes, that nerd attitude from the 2010s where anything silly is equal to cancer and should be eliminated

#

I remember those times

unique dagger
#

the American Zelda 1 commercial actually does suck though https://youtu.be/uI3rO3PbYOo?feature=shared

This first commercial is a very standard 1980s era video game commercial featuring two nerdy looking teenagers playing the original Legend of Zelda. The commercial has a small Zelda rap naming some of the various enemies found in the game. While it is a bit catchy, it might make you shake your head.

Its the Legend of Zelda and its...

"whoa! nice graphics!"

civic hawk
#

It's really funny to me as a non-american seeing how anything from those times even up until the late 90s would so aggressively warp anything it was marketing to cater to the radical super tubular cool hip hop style of the times, they did the same thing with Dragonball GT where the beautiful opening song was replaced with STEP INTO THE GRAND TOUR GRAND TOUR GRAND TOUR, I feel like the same thing happened with Sonic where the american/european Sonic was extremely different from the Japanese Sonic at the time of the classic games and even up to Adventure

#

I don't wanna judge too much because I understand it's different cultures and different times, but it's funny to me just how aggressively the US does it in comparison to other regions

unique dagger
civic hawk
#

the video I'm thinking of in particular is a comparison video between English Sonic voices and Japanese Sonic voices, it sounds innocuous but it really does make a huge difference in the feeling you get from the characters and the script and it also makes for an interesting comparison point to compare how different cultures appeal to kids and larger audiences at the time

unique dagger
#

oooh yeah i think ive seen that one

civic hawk
#

I think this video is ever so slightly sharper and crisper in quality

#

the song definitely sounds better, apparently it's called Game Boys by a group called Scha Dara Parr

unique dagger
#

ha that's great

#

i do love the song

Got 3 Link amiibo I wanted

the totk one is their best amiibo ever on god

#

Pretty good little video, really really fun concept, it actually doesn't look half bad at all flutternatureissofascinating it would never in a million years be done nowadays, it'd probably be all 3D, but it's a very very interesting look

#

Videos like these make gamedev seem way less daunting, just kinda making a small chunk of a level and starting out with that, progressing from shapes and squares acting as terrain and objects and playable characters to fully animated sprites and backgrounds, slowly building on top of all that stuff, hell it even looks inviting (that's how they get ya)

tepid depot
#

and here comes the Ninten cops

civic hawk
#

I sure hope not lol it seems less like a full blown project and more like a very small test without a public release or anything so I want to say it's probably fine

As an ocarina of time fan I am very happy right now

unique dagger
#

i love the Biggoron Sword

wet compass
#

BOTW or TOTK?

heavy pilot
#

Botw

wet compass
#

ah

#

then yeah you can get a variety of older weapons and other unique goodies from those

#

its pure random chance tho

civic hawk
#

Interesting placement

woeful vale
#

"Ehhh it's a spinoff, just stick it with the others"

civic hawk
#

I mean it's not really though, none of those games are spin offs, but they do have a tendency to put all the 2D Zeldas in the same timeline for some reason, I kinda wish they didn't

#

The one 2D Zelda game that doesn't use the same overall style and aesthetic as basically every other 2D Zelda that uses the Zelda 1-ALTTP visual style/shares timeline with is Minish Cap and that game is surprisingly at the very top of the timeline right under Skyward Sword

lean pike
#

the real timeline split is that in OoT Link got squished flat and therefore was stuck in the 2d timeline

civic hawk
#

You joke but that's literally just A Link Between Worlds opaLOLine

lean pike
#

who said I was joking

#

I got out the corkboard and string and everything

HOW DID YOU FILM ME IN MY ROOM?!

#

Great Fairies in this game are so cute raritydarling

civic hawk
#

I'm no stranger to how old school Zeldas play, in terms of how to do progression and exploration and all, but man does it still take me a second to adjust coming into this after Echoes

#

I should get around to Minish Cap once I'm done with this little adventure, it's the one game I know the least amount of lore wise

sharp violet
#

Minish Cap was a favorite of mine when I was little

bright girder
#

Minish goat mentioned Goated

civic hawk
#

oh that's evil

#

SCREW YOU GAME

#

I got it anyways discool

civic hawk
#

the trees are speaking lyrascared

#

I love that you pick up a bunch of random items in this game and the game is like ''you have no idea what this item is for but keep it anyways!'' rdwut

...huh, apparently the Leviathan skeletons in BotW/TotK are the remains of the whale gods from Skyward Sword, Levias. idk why i never put that together, but that fills me with sadness for some reason

#

there's lots of whale deities in Zelda, like the Wind Fish from Link's Awakening and the previously mentioned Levias. i wonder why

lean pike
#

whales are cool, that's why

#

might be a japanese thing tbh

woeful vale
civic hawk
#

I haven't seen this video but I'm so interested to see it later and see if any points in it are stuff we've talked about here before back when we were all playing TOTK

#

maybe I'll also get to see what other people may criticize about TOTK, since I basically never bothered to look up any opinions or videos about this game at all, I was pretty content and happy with my own opinions I made by playing and the discussions we had in here twimerp

unique dagger
#

what a bad title and thumbnail

civic hawk
#

Well I haven't seen the video yet so I can't say, but people are allowed to have opinions on things even if they're a little passionate about it, plus youtube favors titles and thumbnails like this because more people are likely to click videos of this type unfortunately

lean pike
#

I wouldn't say it's bad but it is weirdly not all that you'd expect from a game that was in development for so long and existing as a major release

woeful vale
#

it gets attention, unfortunately Shrug

bright girder
#

greatest game eva made

civic hawk
#

I don't think any one of us thinks the game is bad by any means, but I definitely had a few things to say about it for sure
One of the things I criticized the most is how it really felt like BOTW 2.0, not BOTW 2, because the entire structure of the game and the story is almost identical to BOTW, it's just that it's different things now, so you have different powers, the 4 sages are different, ganon is different, malice is gloom, the king is now a furry, the ancient race with ancient/futuristic tech is now a different one, but it's all the same thing, and in some aspects it weirdly completely skips bringing up BOTW to the point that some characters that you should have met in BOTW seem to not know you at all in TOTK, we've talked a bit about this specific point I remember back when we were all starting to play the game

#

So part of why I share that is because I'm interested to see, whenever I get around to watching the video, what other people have to say about this game since my whole point of reference is just the discussions we've had here but I don't know how most other people feel about this game especially when it comes to criticizing it

unique dagger
#

gonna replay BOTW

is it cannibalism if a bokoblin eats a boar

wet compass
#

Why would it be

unique dagger
#

cause they're both pigs

wet compass
#

pig like, sure, but they're not the same species? i think humans can eat monkey fine, not that i'd try

woeful vale
#

so when do you think Babish will make the monkey brains from Indiana Jones

unique dagger
#

i think im gonna replay Link's Awakening, ive had a hankering for it for a while now

sharp violet

WAKE UP

bright girder

Open your eyes

Open your eyes

#

I'm halfway through a playthrough myself, I kinda stopped because I got distracted by other stuff

#

I don't remember how many instruments I had left to get ppinkiethonkers

bright girder
#

Im gonna start that new Zelda game today

#

You actually play as Princess Zelda in this one

lean pike
#

I thought you had already played it

bright girder
#

nop

bright girder
#

Just got that heart piece on the pillar in the middle of the water

#

im a genius for this one

bright girder
#

Just got ||the cat suit|| this is a good game now

#

||the frog ring|| helps too..

#

now if only zelda could attack by herself

lean pike
#

||Zelda is too rich to attack by herself, she has servants for that||

wet compass
#

||no she has link for that||

lean pike
#

||Link doesn't even get paid smh||

wet compass
#

||yes he does, he gets paid in pot
he's just a lil' confused about it is all||

wet compass
bright girder
#

Bow bro..

wet compass
#

your bow collection isnt also all high-end and valuable?

bright girder
#

ye but you'll never run out ever

wet compass
#

...well you're not wrong

civic hawk
#

That's why I put every single valuable weapon shield and bow in my house where they'll remain for the rest of time and never be used

wet compass
#

exactly!

lean pike
#

this new warriors game is going to peeve people lol

bright girder
#

its kinda stupid

#

AoC was cinema because you had 8 unique champions with real personalities

#

Revali my goat, Sidon my king

#

The new game has Zelda, Rauru, Sonia and Mineru

#

and 4 sages that are all the same npc

lean pike
bright girder
#

He might be a goat but he will never be the goat

#

though theres absolutely no chance theyre going to do the game without Link so he will get time travelled there which means they are going to do the exact same as AoC and time travel the champions too

#

(they are also selling amiibos for them so...)

lean pike
#

amiibos for AoI already?

bright girder
#

Amiibos for the 4 current sages

lean pike
#

also I sort of think Link will be that hero bro dude

#

why? how?

bright girder
#

Tullin, Sidon, Yonubo, Small Urbosa

lean pike
#

they're not even characters

#

those are champions not sages

bright girder
#

no theyre champions in botw

#

now theyre sages

lean pike
#

oh right

#

another weird ass thing they pulled in that game

#

personally, I'm rather hyped

#

crylight the price of the console is killing me though

bright girder
#

Nintendo owns my wallet......

#

though I dont care that much about the console price its the games that are whack

lean pike
#

it's been kind of wack here for a while

#

due to the weak dollars

bright girder
#

canada right

lean pike
#

yeah

bright girder
#

my kroner arent doing much better

lean pike
#

I think the last game I bought was 90 dollars

bright girder
#

what was the last game I bought... I never buy games..

#

Echoes of Wisdom for 649 NoK

#

that game wasnt very good

lean pike
#

okay so 80 dollars it seems

#

I enjoyed it for what it was

bright girder
#

fighting was way too annoying

#

just put down guys and wait for them to clumsily handle the fight

lean pike
#

oh I just spammed them

bright girder
#

yeah it was ass

lean pike
#

the blade traps were powerful

#

as is the fire bubbles

civic hawk
#

This one's also a good watch

unique dagger
#

im replaying BotW and i forgot how pretty this game is

bright girder
#

I want to really badly but im holding out for the switch 2 edition

unique dagger
#

that's fair

#

i was gonna play TotK right after but maybe i'll wait till i get the Switch 2

bright girder
#

Have you found Cryonis?

civic hawk
#

TOTK is like easily a 100+ hour experience I'd probably want to enjoy the better version of it

lean pike
#

are they enhancing the Breath and Tears at all for the switch 2?

civic hawk
#

Gene Park was on the Castle Super Beast podcast a week ago and he talked about some of his hands on experience with the updated version and yeah he mentioned having played TOTK at 60 fps

bright girder
#

Yeah it looks incredible

#

higher res and better lighting and colors too

bright girder
#

yeah this is gonna be a good video

#

im going to play Ocarina of Time

civic hawk
#

Which version?

#

I was thinking of replaying it too, but I have to finish Link's Awakening first

unique dagger
#

da original

#

40 rupees for a shield is crazy !!!

#

i have to get used to the controls, im not used to very little camera control

civic hawk
#

Recompiled version or emulated?

#

I really like some of the additions of the 3DS version that would make me want to play that one over the original, mostly the quick swap is really useful

bright girder
#

You should play the randomizer and just dont randomize anything but keep the QoL it adds chikasmug

unique dagger
#

fuck you Mido

unique dagger
civic hawk
#

Yeah those are all emulated

#

I hope they fixed all the visual glitches it had when it first launched

#

Actually, now that I think about it, there is one game I could play that I've been thinking about for a while now because it's the one Zelda game I never played and somehow dodged what it's about for most of the experience other than very small moments and it's Windwaker

unique dagger
#

i remember hearing about the Gold Skulltula tokens, do you get something good if you get them all ?

civic hawk
#

Yes but the final reward is a little bit ''useless'' just because you get it at such a late point in the game that it's kinda not worth it unless you just want it for completion

#

10 tokens is for the big wallet, 20 tokens is for a special item that lets you know about hidden items, 30 tokens is the biggerer wallet, 40 tokens for bombchus, 50 is a heart piece and 100 is the infinite rupees

unique dagger
#

infinite rupees ?????????

civic hawk
#

You get an unlimited supply of gold rupees

she's fine the first time you play i suppose but most people who complain about her have played since the game's release

idk it's failing to capture my interest

there's other games i wanna play atm

bright girder

yeah you already peaked

maybe i'll play more but idk

bright girder
#

you know the meme with the puzzle piece where its sometimes all a person is missing is just one piece

civic hawk
#

I mean I kinda get it, sometimes I'll find a new game I get super into, or think randomly of an old game I love I really wanna replay and set it all up and start playing and then I play it for like 4 hours and I'm done rdlol

#

It kinda happened with my Link's Awakening playthrough, I kinda wanna go back and finish that though

#

I could boot up my TOTK too and just kinda 100% that game's quests for fun too..

bright girder
#

the thing is Cap if you play until you become an adult the blue wizard will have new dialogue

what's the consensus on Skyward Sword (don't yell at me for not continuing OoT Artiks rdsnrk )

civic hawk
#

People really hated it at the time, the motion controls, the way it's incredibly hand-holdy and very linear, a bit of an empty ''open world'', and some people may have not vibed with some story elements, but over time people have mellowed out a bit on its opinion, not necessarily to the point of saying ''oh god we were so wrong this is a masterpiece'', but definitely to the point of saying ''maybe we over-hated on this at the time''

unique dagger
#

hmm

#

i own the hd version on my switch i may try it out

civic hawk
#

I think it's a nice looking Zelda game, it's still Zelda just like any of the 'smaller' Zelda games like the Oracles, Link's Awakening, Link Between Worlds, Four Swords, it's still a Zelda game through and through so you can expect all that Zelda charm in terms of visuals, music, storytelling, characters, interesting world, aesthetics

#

I think there's definitely stuff in SS that people would like, but I wouldn't blame someone for starting it out and then stopping because they kinda get bored of it or a little frustrated

#

I think the HD Switch version gets ridd of some of the extra fluff so it may be a good version to play

#

For example you can't skip cutscenes in vanilla SS but you can on the HD version

bright girder
#

Skyward Sword great game

#

It has a character called Groose hes the best character in the franchise (tied with Sidon and Revali)

The switch version is better

thats real

civic hawk
#

I knew I was probably forgetting something when I was backing up all my files and stuff, I remembered to backup the emulators but I completely forgot to backup all my saves
My 100+ hr BOTW, 100+hr TOTK and 100% Echoes of Wisdom plus my 50% completion Link's Awakening files are all gone izzysadness

#

the good news though is that's the only important thing I forgot to backup and I can always just play them to completion again

#

the others I'm not so bummed about, but man that TOTK file took me so long to do I was actually planning to go back to it and actually get 100% on the game once and for all, my house was so nice too, I even had an entire altar for Riju and everything... raritysad raritysad

I don't know if I have it in me to dedicate 100+ hours to TOTK again...

2 teams playing the same seed, one LADX and one MM. First team to both goals wins

ah, I'm used to randos calling that a "race"

i guess MM with blitz settings

otherwise its a lot longer than LA

They did 4 remains and the final boss

Teams were llisandur on ladx with dessyreqt on mm vesus me on ladx with dessyreqt's wife on mm. I goaled first but they won overall

you always need 4 remains but in the blitz settings only 1 region has checks afaik

Afaik it was the whole game

the champion's leathers version is my preferred redesign for that

especially when dyed green, it looks really good

although for literally a good 60% of my totk playthrough I wore the TP tunic and the OOT tunic

#

Thank god that those are just in the game in TOTK and not amiibo exclusive like BOTW

#

I had to bust out a whole save editor software to get those in BOTW to bypass the stupid amiibo limit

How insane is that rdsnrk I'm literally paying you for this stupid piece of plastic and you're putting a limit on it nintendo? Who cares if I get infinite resources it's a single player game!

I don't think they'll ever put an old version of anyone on the games other than Ganondorf though rdwut

unique dagger
#

it's a theory that Gramps from Link Between Worlds is the Hero from Link to the Past. the title kind of sucks

civic hawk
#

aaaaahhhhhh

#

yeah probably I mean

#

it's in the same timeline as all the classic games because apparently Nintendo is deathly afraid of making a 2D Zelda game in a brand new world that isn't just ALTTP again but it's likely that because of how clumped together those games are timeline wise it could be either a previous playable Link or just one of the many previous Links that probably have existed throughout history

unique dagger
#

i think aside from Gramps (if this is true) Hero of Time is the only one to appear outside of his own games ?

he shows up directly in TP and indirectly in WW

Celestia please tone down the sun flutterwaaaugh

#

looks very purty though

visual folio
#

would that be the Fire Dragon's job or the Light Dragon's? cocothink

civic hawk
#

Light Dragon, Fire Dragon comes from Din which was the goddess that created earth originally so I imagine it would have more ties with the earth itself than something like the sun

#

Certain mythologies and beliefs get really specific like that, like how the chinese elements include wood and metal

visual folio
#

yeah I basically have the Chinese elements (among many other random myths) memorized after modding Nine Sols

#

I don't recall Zelda lore getting anywhere near that deep but you make a good argument about the Fire Dragon

civic hawk
#

I need to play that one some day I just remember hearing talks about it and thinking ''oh it looks cool'' and never really looking into it again

civic hawk
# visual folio I don't recall Zelda lore getting anywhere near that deep but you make a good ar...

well of course every game kinda works differently from each other but Din Farore and Nayru seem to be a constant and for those the concept of what each represents kinda gets very specific like that?
Din created the earth and cultivated the lands, Farore is said to have basically created life in general? As in every life form so I'd imagine animals humans hylians etc, Nayru is weird because the language isn't super clear and it's really vague but it's implied she basically creates the laws of the universe and passed down her ''wisdom''

#

so it gets pretty weird and specific in a similar way ish

civic hawk
#

huh, I bypassed that entire cutscene cocothink

#

I used Ascend to go up the temple to the very top, then I climbed down carefully to an area I could take out one of the gliders and I just glided down here past the door without even opening it

#

I can't remember if you get anything out of it or if it's just the cutscene

#

Ah, I can't jump down, the game won't actually let me

visual folio
#

of course they knew

civic hawk
#

fine

visual folio
#

did you get rewind before the door?

civic hawk
#

I did but then I got curious and went all the way up the temple and I couldn't get back down ppenk so I thought wait a minute I can just go around

#

aaaand I'm gonna have to re-enter the temple because I can't trigger the scene from this side

#

Hah, well at least I figured out a fun way to do it, I used a glider and a fan to basically glide from the very top of the temple and make a big 180° right turn so I'd be right at the entrance

#

aaaahhhhhh

#

I needed the last orb to get past the door

#

I forgot about that

#

right, now I go back to the very first room in the game so I can get all the stuff there with my new powers

#

lol I love Link's dialogue choices in this
going up to the goddess' statue she asks if you want a heart container in exchange for 4 orbs, you can say yes I want a heart container or you can say ''eh, I'd rather have nothing'' rdlol

#

big ''koitsu...'' energy

#

first order of business, get as many upgrades as possible and get the cool tunic sets, then we can worry about saving Hyrule

#

luckily the good tunics (OOT, TP, SS) aren't tied to amiibos this time

unique dagger
#

the Wild set wasn't tied to an amiibo

civic hawk
#

I meant the good ones

#

it's kinda the point of that armor set but if it didn't look so raggedy it would be a cool modernization of the classic look, I don't hate it

#

the actual 'classic' set is good it just looks too plain for this more high detail style

#

also makes him look a bit naked with the whole no pants thing

#

which I guess is a good thing depending on the person rdwut

unique dagger
#

yeah i never liked the lack of pants

#

i mean there are pants but they're like booty shorts

civic hawk
#

Finally got the glider

#

holy hell it was a mistake to not directly go to Prunia's place and do that whole scripted sequence beforehand

#

I couldn't even get any towers before that

civic hawk
#

this artist was giving Link some absolutely ridiculous upskirt shots jeez

#

but anyways this account posts some cool restorations of all these old Zelda artworks from various promotional material or just supplemental material

i think you can register them too ? i dont remember

I remember doing that once or twice while I was down here, but I don't know how you'd ever get them to the surface

You cannot register them as horses because the stable owners are too scared but you can ride them and I assume it's the ''intended'' way to travel the underground until people found out you can make the hoverbike

#

zero huh....

#

well I'll actually try to fill out the encyclopedia this playthrough maybe

it can't be that intended when huge parts of the underground are impossible to traverse by horse

what is it with video games that implement horse riding also making the horses not viable for exploration

One thing doesn't take away the other, I will try to 100% the game this time around.... it's gonna probably take me about 100+ hours like the first time around anyways because of the sheer number of things there are to do

#

I didn't even try to do all the wells the first time but I might try this time just for the sake of it

#

I'm definitely gonna do a bunch of shrines first thing first though because this game is unplayable for me without my precious hearts and stamina flutterwaaaugh

civic hawk
#

which thankfully even existed because the game was like a week or two weeks old at the time

#

but a lot of things were still inaccurate

wet compass
#

oh sorry i thought you were botwding

#

theres one for totk too

civic hawk
#

gah I keep crashing flutterwaaaugh

#

also I just got my first 50 rupees I didn't realize I was carrying around no money

#

oh that's.... interesting

#

this is where the game autosaved before I crashed, but I already got the chest so I have no way to get out...

#

at least I wouldn't if I didn't have the furry hand ability

civic hawk
#

Oh god I got a system service exception error blue screen? That never happened before
I think it might have been a CPU thing... I might've updated some parts of my computer since last time but I bet the CPU still can't really handle TOTK + using the computer for literally anything else, and I got a similar error when I got a crash after I was playing Hades 2 and recording at the same time... it's definitely not a drivers thing since I updated almost all my drivers and I even updated my BIOS which I hadn't since 2022

#

that was scary ppenk but, noted, I might have to only be running TOTK and minimize other activity on the computer then (actually now that I've been looking this up it seems like it could be an nvidia drivers issue and a gpu issue instead..? so that's fun... looking up specific errors for these crashes I've had are giving me so many different answers I don't even know which one is the correct one)

civic hawk
#

Oh wow, this is incredibly strange

#

So... after that blue screen I went back to load that save file to get some duplicated items going to prepare

#

When I go to load my games there's no games at all to load, just the last autosave right before the crash, and when I load in, I have no upgrades, no items, nothing, and I'm in the starting area of the game which isn't even loaded properly at all, it's on a black void and the stairs lead nowhere

#

so.... huh

#

welp

#

Well that's a huge bummer....

#

yeah some other people have gotten this issue on ryujinx and yuzu apparently, save file is corrupted and fully borked, gotta start from scratch, so thanks for that BSOD windows...
man, do I even want to restart that playthrough? rdsnrk I guess I wasn't that far but still... it was like 5 hours or so already

civic hawk
#

Okay thank goodness someone actually uploaded their save file after doing all the boring tutorial stuff

#

It's not exactly all the stuff I had but... better than nothing...

#

I'm gonna test this out, I want to see if I get that same BSOD I got while I was playing Hades the other day because this is really strange and I never had this issue before cocothink

tepid depot
#

I still like the lore of the forest temple

unique dagger
#

what is the lore ? im not familiar with Ocarina backstory

civic hawk
#

the only weird thing I'm aware of is that, if you'll notice as you enter, the forest temple doesn't really seem like a temple at all

#

it's almost like a manor of some sort instead

#

so it was clearly built with the intent of having people living in it rather than as a place of worship by people or creatures from the forest

tepid depot
#

well, I guess I should speculative theory because nothing is hard confirmed (as per zelda lore)

civic hawk
#

it's also the only place to have a ghost of ganondorf in it rather than some sort of corrupted creature too

#

a 5+ year old zelda lore video I haven't watched?

tepid depot
#

watched these videos about a year and a half ago

#

also love the forest temple theme

lean pike
#

zelda never confirms nothing

civic hawk
#

looking at the most recent videos of the channel being mostly Wild-era related reminded me of what Vinny said almost at the beginning of the zelda 1 fan remake video I shared where he flat out says he couldn't give less fucks about the whole BOTW timeline anymore rdlol and I kinda agree

#

he also shared a story about a friend who actually started playing the franchise with BOTW and then immediately jumped into Zelda 1 and actually really liked it and then jumped off to different games from that and gave him a ranking which I thought was really interesting with some of the choices, but also just the fact that someone playing BOTW would jump straight to Zelda 1 and actually enjoy it

#

no mention of ALBW in that ranking though unfortunately, one of the top Zelda games that nobody seems to play or even know about which is outrageous to me, but there was a mention of Echoes and it ranked pretty high up so I'm happy with that discool

#

there were some questionable choices on the lower tiers but as Vinny says Zelda has so many good games that unfortunately some of them have to go low in a tier list just because they have to go somewhere

unique dagger

zelda 1 was super hard when I played it

I know I'd like to play it sometime, the creator actually commented on the video and said they might update it because unfortunately there are some controller issues and the audio's a bit messed up so some options would be appreciated

I would love if the next Zelda had more of an 80s medieval inspiration for its aesthetic

Zelda is kind of interesting because it started off very european but over time, especially with more recent games, it's seems to be embracing a more japanese feel

but with european flavouring

unique dagger
#

i like how BotW feels like a Ghibli movie, but i am curious where they'll head next

civic hawk

The Sheikah were a lot more middle eastern with their aesthetics, just like the Gerudo, rather than being this super traditional Japanese hidden village sort of thing

considering they've evolved much more in the japanese direction I assume that's what they intended all along

#

I dunno if intended, but that's where they ended up regardless

#

The inspiration is more apparent with Sheik, but I still don't really know what either of their designs was supposed to really go for, it's a very strange mix of some sort of modern athletic sportswear clothing with little bits of armor and in Sheik's case the bandages and raggedy cloth over the suit and the cloth turban

#

by Hyrule Warriors they were already changing her design to fit a more ninja aesthetic, I think I like Smash 4's the best

#

I think they ended up changing it just to make the Sheikah more distinct which is fair

lean pike
#

possibly, but there's always the possibility that the original intention was just not well realized at the time

civic hawk
#

No I mean that's actually what they said for how they appear in BOTW lol

#

they mention it on Creating a Champion, they wanted to make them more distinct from all the other races so that's why they went with a traditional japanese look

#

The only remnant of the original Sheikah design is the blue ish bodysuit but they got rid of the characteristic tanned skin and red eyes, they kept the white hair though

civic hawk
#

Hmmmm

#

Might be time for a TP replay

#

I wanna see how that game looks upscaled, I've had pretty good luck with most old games I've played with just upscaling the resolution to make em look good

wet compass
#

I should play tp again yeah
Maybe do a whole LoZ run of the games i like

civic hawk
#

Hmmmm

#

Maybe

#

Sounds like it'd be too long though.....

#

OOT, MM, TP, ALBW, Echoes of Wisdom...

#

I could play the ones I haven't played yet though like the oracle games, Link's Awakening which I didn't finish...

Out here straight up waking it

#

And by it lets just say... haha....

My wi d

wet compass
#

not having an original GC controller and pc adaptor
smh

hollow patio
#

original controllers are expensive

wet compass
#

just be a kid in the early 00s and buy one

#

duh

hollow patio
#

I'm a wii kid :[

wet compass
#

smh

#

anyway

#

have fun with WW, its one of the great zeldas

#

aside from that early stealth bit, always hated that

hollow patio
#

in the fortress?

wet compass
#

yeah

hollow patio
#

yea .

wet compass
#

its just annoying

hollow patio
#

Yk this controller feels oddly close to the real deal

#

Maybe aside from weight but i dont remember how weighty GC controkkers are

tepid depot
#

back in 2016, I bought like 5 original sealed GC controllers because I wanted to get into competitive smash melee at the time

#

I never did get into competitive melee but still kept the controllers because they're so good

#

this is how this song was meant to be listened

lean pike
#

it's sort of crazy that an instrument with like, what? five notes? can play this

wet compass
#

you can adust pitch and stuff with the d stick

#

i htink you can make differeent tones with the l and r buttons? might be misrememebring that

civic hawk
#

L and R are notes like the face buttons the pitch modifiers is the dpad and the analog

#

the original version I think used the triggers for the pitch

lean pike
#

ah

#

The title theme song from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time from the Nintendo 64 and 3DS, but it's played on an ensemble of 3DS's with instruments from Majora's Mask 3D.

Also I made a discord server that you can join to discuss various things with me and the Offbeat Drill community, such as what you want to see in future videos that I post. ...

It's quite impressive how far you can push this

#

it's basically like a lite music station software or something

#

The director of photography of the Zelda movie, Gyula Pados, posted this on his Instagram (apparently it's a deleted post now?)

#

I'm guessing it's some piece of concept art slapped onto a clapperboard, it looks.... good

#

Twilight Princess Link reigns supreme all this time later...

civic hawk
#

but not fake, just actually an AI generated image used during the production

#

so that's cool

:(

Huh

#

I thought this was some high effort mockup but it's actually real

woeful vale
#

yayness

civic hawk
#

Wait until you see the next MS upgrade

woeful vale
#

dis ain't my first LBW rodeo

#

or my second... I think

civic hawk
#

I should replay this again

#

It wasn't that long

woeful vale
#

i think this is usually the last dungeon I tackle

#

so i never get much time with the Shield of Hyrule... which is in Lorule, for some reason

civic hawk
#

Zelda horror content?
Don't mind if I do...

civic hawk
#

I'm now interested in horror OOT romhacks cocothink

woeful vale
#

Dunno if I want to go for Skull Woods or Ice Palace next

#

(Link Between Worlds)

#

On the one hand, I'm one Master Ore away from getting the Lv 3 Master Sword
On the other, my mana is getting annoying to manage mana so having the upgrade from there would be good.

#

only problem is that i don't have the Fire Rod yet and i dunno if I trust my ability to not Eat Shit enough to rent it from Ravio

civic hawk
#

:sunsetsway:

#

that's a vibe

civic hawk
#

either Link is incredibly small or that horse is really big, or both

#

I really like that design

#

Cucco lady! raritydarling

#

oh yeah, kakariko, the nightmare fuel location

wet compass
#

are you playing oot casually or some kind of special version?

civic hawk
#

just a casual oot playthrough

wet compass
#

fair enough

civic hawk
#

I guess the 3DS is a special version in some way but yeah no just doing yet another casual playthrough cause this game can never be played too many times

#

and it's certainly been a while since I played it

#

like... 2016-2017?

#

once caught a fish this big

#

so big it obscured my whole body!

#

man that took a while

#

Oh boy a good 3 hours already, and I didn't even get to Death Mountain yet!

#

there's so much to do before even the first dungeon it's a little funny, just because of the urgency of the situation

#

yes Zelda I promise I will save the world, but first I have to catch this fish that's bigger than my entire body for a heart piece if you'll excuse me

woeful vale
#

wau

civic hawk
#

there's apparently a lot more to the fishing minigame you can do just for fun, even catch the mythical hylian loach

#

you can just dump probably a good amount of hours into that minigame in total if you really wanted

#

I just wanted the heart piece but it took me a good 20 min of fishin' for that and it got pretty intense

#

stupid fish escaped me like 3 times

unique dagger
#

i wonder if that fabled OoT Switch 2 remake is real

#

it would be cool if it was

wet compass
civic hawk
#

I'm probably gonna use a guide for this

#

just because there's so many things I would otherwise not know about at all, and I wanna see if I can complete it as much as I can

#

I could do a natural casual playthrough and all... just to see how much I remember of the game I suppose, or how much I can naturally figure out, but I've never actually done a full 100% run of.... well, any Zelda game I think

#

It probably goes entirely against the design of the game, where it's meant for you to discover all these things on your own and be amazed that there was this one item in this one spot, but the desire to complete as much as I can is too overpowering rdwut

civic hawk
wet compass
#

Huh

civic hawk
#

the fact that it works like that is just peak obscure 90s videogame mechanic

#

it kinda feels like they purposefuly made it that way so kids in the playground could tell each other how to get it and what to do
