To be spouting that at this point, much less at any point if you've ever played Ocarina of Time, you have to be:

I'm sceptical of the open world stuff since Japan has yet to show us that they are able to pull this off, but who knows? The demo didn't impress me, but apparently they've disabled all the NPCs and towns in the demo so it should look more alive and less like mineycrafta.

ALBW is the perfect Zelda game. But it didn't have vast fields of nothing and have three types of vendor trash, not thirty.

The franchise is very stale. All games didn't allow for almost any impact on the world, were extremely linear, and incredibly simple, quite literally no challenge to anyone over the age of 12.

I'm glad they finally are letting you do more than just walk around/ride of a horse. Climbing objects, cooking, sledding, sneaking, starting fires, steal weapons, physics all seem like great editions to the series. Hyrule field was cool once. But not being able to do dick in it in 2016 would have been really really shitty.

I guess exploring a moving and living world filled with different environments, weather, animals, enemies (both large and small or alone or in groups), patterns in this puzzle adventure game aren't obvious enough, interactable trees, cliffs, mountains, riding stallions, collecting items, discovering caves, swimming, sliffdiving, snow-shield-boarding, character customizing, creating and launching boulders into the sky with the amulets and magic you've collected in order to discover chests throughout the very fist area (the starting point of the entire game without showing any dungeons yes or towns which are both confirmed) isn't very fun or vivid, huh?

All that gameplay must be very drole, dull and pointless. You need to be BLOWN AWAY every single second in these couch-talk-show gameplay shots of the first 50 minutes of the game. What you need is dialogue boxes or button prompts in your cinematic game. That's where the REAL content is.

It's too easy and will be impossible to die. You can hoard as many healing items you want and consume them from the safety of the menu. Even older Zelda games had a limit to healing items, not that you'd ever run out, but still. And they were harder to obtain.
>>
>>341448286
Moving and living is an exaggeration, it is just a few mobs that pop into the world when you move around to certain spots. And yes, a few finicky physics puzzles and weather effects don't make for exciting gameplay.

I just want dungeons. I don't want all this junk.

There are enemies that do 6+ hearts of damage in the beginning area. Enemies can easily one shot you. Going into the wrong environment without the proper food/clothing can fuck you over too. I mean, the game obviously isn't going to be that difficult but it's still a step up from the previous games.

And that's just scratching the surface.
Worst of all zelda has become and uninspired shallow sandbox game, it's only redeeming quality may be the puzzles, but if you're any bit competent they shouldn't challenge you.

Overall it's looking to be a bad game, and this reveal was sourly underwhelming.

It's everything I want in the Legend of Zelda? The thing about playing games I like, GENRES I like, is they tend to have similar qualities.

In the first hour, at the starting point, the beginning of the game. Kokiri village, Outset Island etc weren't exactly crawling with enemies.

You mean the introductory environment puzzles in a Zelda title isn't exciting to WATCH OTHERS ON A COUCH play while you sit behind a monitor, not engaged in the game?

People find tons of legitimate criticism. The issue is, fanboys who never even played it stuff their ears and then claim anything negative about the game is wrong and a product of 'sour grapes' or a Sony fanboy.

The game looks pretty bad aesthetically, it was clearly downgraded, framerate seems shitty, puzzles like like 2004 physics, everything shown already has been gimmick geavy and done before, combat still looks awful, overworld is dead and lifeless, seems to have the Skyrim mentality, likely will have shitty writing, and as per most Nintendo firsts, it will have almost every flaw of an open world game.

To be fair though, all the flaws will be overlooked because Zelda is now more about brand than game, and if this had no name, people would think it an indie game.

In the end it will never surpass other games like The Witcher 3 or even Dragon Dogma, and I even have a Wii U. I imagine it will be another Skyward sword (dead sky) with a handful of good moments in an otherwise drawn out game.
>>
>>341449612
Because it doesn't look like a bad game. It just looks like a very unimpressive game. It's not bringing anything new to the table . Survival? We've gotten that a billion times. The fact that it's just now getting to Nintendo and they're hyping it up is REALLY bad. It's been done to death in shit tons of other games and the majority of people don't find it amusing at all. Mind you the majority are people that don't own Wii U's. I own a Wii U (and PC) and even I'm not impressed. I'll rent it I guess, but full $60 for this? Yeah no thank you.

I love how this is worded as if set pieces envelop an aspect of interaction towards something you willl do all the time. Nintendo doesn't need to pay marketers for this shit.

Apparently basic game design and generic physics is supposed to be fun, and then when someone plays it getting bored, someone like this guy will get angry, saying 'go play call of duty' or 'you hate fun, kill yourself'

I love what hole an IP can dig for some people, to the point reviewers are scared to get harassed if they give out lower scores.

Ah, yes, clearly 3 types of equipment that ultimately amount to the same thing except in a tiny subset of clearly delineated circumstances is the same thing as piles of equipment, cooking ingredients and other junk.

You know how often I looked at that screen in OOT? Not very often. It didn't usually matter. Here, they seem to be trying to make it a main selling point. It is taking the worst aspect and making it important.

Same with snowboarding, if you are lucky it will play a part in one dungeon

It was the N64. It couldn't do more than that.
Also, if looking at the equipment screen was something you didn't like to do/have to do...don't do it in this one?

Have you been to E3 and played the demo of the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Are you from the future and have already 100% completed the game and just know all its ins and outs?

I think most the planet that plays Zelda games on release will heavily disagree with you.

Don't worry, no one is forcing you to play this, though. I'm sure there must be another genre you enjoy. But, I bet if you give this game a shot in the year it'll take for it to come out yet, it will probably reveal itself to have a bit more interesting things in it's massive world. Maybe. I mean, this 50 minute talk-show gameplay was pretty conclusive.

>Also listing dumb little stuff like " launching boulders into the sky" like it is some little new thing you can do with the pausing mechanic which isn't even a new thing.
I don't recall this appearing in a Zelda title before, let alone a mechanic that looks very, very likely to be implemented into a boss battle, treasure discovery or puzzle solution somewhere in the game from time to time.
>Same with snowboarding, if you are lucky it will play a part in one dungeon
Maybe it will. Maybe lots of dungeons. Maybe none at all. Maybe I think it's just a neat little trick you can do in the starting Hyrule Field on a mountain area. Maybe it's a surfboard, too, and I'll have to do that on waves somewhere. Or lava. Who knows? Not you. The game just showed 50 minutes of Hyrule Field.

I still think Zelda is boring. All of them. They're just really really simple and boring. If I'm being honest I don't see what anyone over 12 sees in them. I've played through most of the 3d ones since my little brother is a fan and I just find them boring and tedious

Whenever I say this I'm called a bait and what not, but I genuinely just don't enjoy games that don't challenge you at all unless they offer some really outstanding adventure and exploration or something else neat. But zelda games don't

It still might be goty though, just because I'm not the target audience doesn't make the game inherently bad

This does not look like a Zelda game in the slightest, both in terms of visuals and game play.
Most importantly, it does nothing new. Literally nothing. It is a mish-mash of mechanics copied from other games such as Monster Hunter, Dragon's Dogma and Dark Souls, with an open world that still looks thoroughly lifeless and combat that looks boring as ever.
And of course there's the art, the aesthetic is fine, but technically it looks like shit. It is riddled with PS2 textures, for a game that supposedly also launching on the NX this is completely egregious.
And again, it does not look like a Zelda game at all. If you swapped Link out for some new guy anyone would easily mistake it for some new IP.

I'm genuinely perplexed as to how anyone could possibly be hyped for this nothing game, but clearly the Nintendobabbies are so starved that even shit is starting to look appetizing to them.

You sound like you have access to every video game from the past 40 years, including games appearing on several hundred dollar, recent, consoles. What amazing riches you have to be able to offer yourself the opportunity to play only the very best from everywhere on the planet.
Zelda isn't supposed to be a challenge. It's a kid's game. And you're a fool I refuse to speak with any longer if you think Zelda hasn't been an industry-leading innovator with incredible reviews and strong memories from anyone since 1987.

My point is if they are advertising the worst part of a Zelda game as a premiere feature, it is likely that the rest of the game is built with the same sort of philosophy in mind.

Does anyone actually like having to switch helmets? In any game? Ever?
>>
Can I just say, I didn't like how during the stream, they had to open an inventory menu and find a food item, then select it, then select use, to get health back. It felt like a lot of steps and really broke up the combat. The closest Zelda has had to that before were potions and fairies and you only had so many of those. I can see it becoming tedious if every hard battle becomes me opening the menu a hundred times to heal.

Here's an actual criticism. They lied to us. For years, Nintendo hyped this game up as one of the main reasons to own a Wii U. They promised it would come out soon. After numerous delays, they threw Wii U owners (the same fans loyal enough to buy their disappointing console) under the fucking bus and gave them the shitty version of the game in an attempt to sell more NX consoles. You have to buy a new console to get a non-shit version of BotW.
Anyone who says Nintendo is consumer friendly is fucking retarded.

Also the fact that Nintendo has really jumped on the DLC wagon really fucking hard with amiibos. They used to be the company you came to because their games and philosophy was like it was still the early days of gaming.

>>341446001
The best thing for Zelda would be to remove all RPG bs. If you started with all the equipment and there were only the 3 starting hearts it would give the player complete freedom to do dungeons in any order, allow for more creative dungeons that aren't just one item being used, and allow the difficulty to be solely based on boss and enemy patterns. This new game is the complete opposite of how to make Zelda more engaging.

Looks decent. I don't want them to just lazily impart "good" stuff from other rpgs but it shouldn't be a problem if they're wise I know that Zelda is Zelda and they need to build upon the formula not reinvent the wheel.

In that vein:
MMfag here so I would essentially have the mask collecting thing make a return. A simplistic idea but I would have an increase in the total mask number from what it was in MM.

The cool part however; is that I would also introduce the "Face Sword". This guy would also double as the classic companion character. A sword that has a blank face on its guard that the various masks in the game could be equipped to, giving it various powers and puzzle solving utilities. The game would be gloriously difficult in places where you had to nimbly switch between masks both on Link and the sword in a very short span of time to use the very subtle effects each variety imparts in a given situation.
>One mask to raise a cube of earth from the ground, then a fire mask to strike only the left side of that cube (aim carefully), a time-slow mask on Link so you can run to the other side before the fire runs out, and put the bunny hood on the sword whose now-fast thrusts are the only thing that can hit every puzzle slot in time.
Have enemies in certain challenge modes/areas require things like this as well.

The game would've been so much better for everyone if Nintendo just bit the bullet and kept it a Wii U exclusive. Then it could run smoothly on Wii U, and then NX would get a Zelda that can actually take advantage of its hardware later in its life.
Fuck them for doing this. I can't believe so many people are okay with it. Nintendo has forced us to choose between buying a new $350 console, or playing the shitty version of the game.

What if I got a cooler helmet?
Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3 all seemed to be pretty popular around here.
Monster Hunter has a new helmet for every monster in the game(s). Hell, it's different depending on Low/High/G rank!
TF2 became both hated and extremely popular with its "helmets" that didn't do anything but a cosmetic difference.
How about Destiny? Can you change your helmet in DooM?

Oh. You didn't like switching the Iron Boots on and off in the Water Temple. Gotcha. Well, that wasn't so bad, but that could have been better I guess.

The best part; not only would you have unique masks different from MM (bring back the old must-haves of course) you''d also get to actually place the masks your SWORD at the same time, granting you elemental transformations, puzzle-solving utilities, and other abstract stuff. Maybe replace the Ocarina by having a legendary "Bard Mask" that you must aquire that you then place on your sword to gain the song making mechanic. Put it on Link to -learn- the various songs throughout the game. Put it on the sword to -play- the songs. You can even use 2 masks at once by equiping one on Link, one on the sword. Best part is that the Transformation masks (of which I'm thinking 5 instead of 3) will change the instrument depending on the race. Heck even have the minor masks add these purely aesthetic aesthetic -slight- musical/visual alterations (or even with a tiny puzzle solving potential) to the base instrument. I also have an idea for another mask category other than transformation. 'Summon Masks'. The only one of which I have thought up is Midna's Fused Shadow. Putting it on summons Imp Midna. Put it on the sword; True Midna. Midna + Bard-Sword would even give her a Twili instrument to play instead of you.

>>341454305
>This does not look like a Zelda game in the slightest...
First, what DOES a Zelda game look like? Almost all of them have different art styles and visuals. This is the same complaint people tossed at Wind Waker. Almost no-one complains about the art now, instead they complain about the ocean traversing. As far as gameplay, this isn't the first Zelda game to offer oodles of "stuff collectables", enemy weapons Link can pick-up and use (again WW), the sticks-swords are just "deku sticks" which also broke and enemy weapons didn't last long anyways anyhow. This is a natural progression of what we've seen before.

>Most importantly, it does nothing new.
True, true. Sneaking was first implemented in WW, the sailcloth was as well (Deku Leak). Combat that we've seen is directly ripped from the last three console Zelda titles (SS, TP, WW), but then again all we've seen is the first TWENTY MINUTES of gameplay and a bit of a "let's play"-style play of what may or may not be the dungeons. Can't make a judgement call on how deep the combat system is with just that.

>an open world that still looks thoroughly lifeless
The game is still 9-12 months from being complete, calm thy tits. I doubt it'll be as horrifically empty as Twilight Princess was.

>PS2 textures
I know this is a meme, but what? Did you even PLAY a game on a PS2? It's certainly not PS4/XBone/PC textures, perhaps not even PS360, but it's certainly far better than PS2.

>swapped Link out for some new guy anyone would easily mistake it for some new IP
Again, you've come to this conclusion after seeing 20 minutes of the opening and a bit of a "let's play"-style play of what may or may not be the dungeons. Good Job!

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to playing Arkham City. Just picked it up for $10 and am having a blast playing it.

>>
>>341446001
I have a few criticisms, not sure how founded some of them are because of the narrowness of the demo, but I'll list them anyway.

>weapon durability
It's an interesting feature, but it takes away from the wonder of finding a new weapon. Don't expect any cool weapon designs or abilities in this game, just one of three weapon styles with a slightly different skin. Devs aren't going to make unique weapons that just break all the time and make you find another carbon copy of it. Master sword is the only weapon that may not be like this, assuming you even get to use it outside of scripted story events.

>Sheika runes
The ones we saw are pretty cool, but if the menu is to be believed, there's only a single rune we haven't already seen. That makes 5 magic items total (The two types of bomb don't count as two magic items, and neither does the bow). That's 2 less than Skyward Sword, which was already dreadfully low on cool items to use. It could be that we just don't see the rest of the list, after all at one point in the demo the rune list only showed 3 slots and in another segment it showed the 6, so I'm hopeful that there are more runes to see.

>story
I know, they kept as much of it secret as possible, but we already know Link was in some cryostasis and has amnesia, but is destined to be the hero of the land. That's three tropes right away that I don't like. I was hoping for a more humble origin for Link, like with the Wind Waker. Hopefully the story once expanded will break free of the generic mysterious past that is has now, but knowing Nintendo, that isn't very likely.

>Biomes
Maybe I'm just nit-picking, but why is there a snowy mountain nestled right between a MASSIVE DESERT and an ACTIVE VOLCANO? I mean, that is almost forgivable, but what isn't is that on the plateau you start on, the icy part is literally right next to the desert. Like, there's a couple hundred feet between a snowy tundra and an arid desert. And not even that big of an altitude drop
>>
>>341456491
Technically, the first Zelda was open world. Wind Waker was close. But then, the entire world was water so it wasn't really discussed much.
>>
>>341457227

>>
>>341455272
Zelda has NEVER done this, though.
In fact, the number of games that start you with 100% of all your equipment? All upgrades, best armor, Boost Jump, end-game weapon, no "basic" weapon in Contra, you just switch between all of the weapons?

No game does that. That's not a video game. That's a simulator. Even fucking Mario has powerups.
>>
>>341446001
Isn't the whole open world craze starting to decline? I feel like, if they were going to appeal to that crowd, they missed their opportunity. Plus, open world has a key flaw of being a boring slog filled with next to nothing to do. Hopefully, with as long as this game has fucking taken to make, Nintendo will be the exception to that. They probably won't and I feel like they'll be gone soon.

>Maybe I'm just nit-picking, but why is there a snowy mountain nestled right between a MASSIVE DESERT and an ACTIVE VOLCANO?
Rainfall.
A desert is noted as such by rainfall. The single most important geographical point-of-interest in determining how the region is affected by rainfall is a mountain.
Elevation, inherent to the mountain, will make it cold. One side (or both) will certainly get rain/snow as a result.
There are terms to describe this, such as leeward/windward. There are regions that show this in extremes. As for volcanos, active or not, they work primarily the same way.

And it is nitpicky. Death mountain, constantly erupting. literally casts a shadow on Hyrule Castle and Kakariko it's so close. It's just a video game environment to get you to new and interesting places.

I just liked that aspect of the franchise and them clumsily aping other games' worst features isn't something I would want as the primary selling point of the newest title.

Holy shit you sound like the biggest fedora edgelord to ever exist. You're a meme come true.

Please explain why.

We haven't seen anything about it really yet. Apparently its a full fledged open world RPG but we dont know what towns and quests are like. The full game might be a pretty, empty world for all we know

If they bit the bullet and kept it a Wii U exclusive they wouldn't have to gimp it to get it to run on Wii U, and the NX would get Zelda down the road that actually can take advantage of its hardware. But no, you want immediate gratification because you wouldn't buy a Wii U

>>341459168
Fair enough I guess. Something about the snow being so close to the desert is just a little jarring to me. I don't mind the volcano as much. Ultimately I don't think that will really hurt the game, just looks a little odd to see the transition so quickly.

>>341459484

Some people think Link and the goblins are the only living things in the world.

You really can't find this kind of stupid anywhere else on the net.

Weapon durability
Frame rate and pop in issues
Spam food in the middle of combat to win instead of having to scavenge for hearts or not get hit.
WEAPON DURABILITY
Can get through the game without doing anything but fighting the final boss
WEAPON DURA FUCKING BILITY WHO THE FUCKING FUCK THOUGHT THIS WAS AN OKAY SYSTEM TO PUT IN THIS FUCKING GAME FUCKKKKKKKK

Literally looks worse than a 2012 open world PS3 game.

Ah yes, all those games I don't play. Clearly, Zelda is best to follow suite.

Surely, the aesthetic of Zelda will handle the Hero of Balls wearing a standard face covering guardsman helmet.

We've only seen some of the least durable weapons in this demo. There's still a lot we don't know, some weapons might have infinite durability in a way

its the pop-in graphics, that shit ruined Black Desert for me

I hate how only Link and NPCs cast shadows, and grass doesn't have AO or shadows.

Its a giant green blob infront of you.

Come on anon thats not fair. Sleeping Dogs was a masterpiece and this is just Nintendo's flagship game series that is all that stands between them and bankruptcy. Why would they actually try and make a good game?
>>
>>341460093
>>341460269
what he said.

they found a bow and a travelers sword that had so much durability it never broke. the other stuff they were literally throwing away as ranged attacks against enemies and were getting new ones from killing monsters.
>>
>>341459484
Dialogue boxes and interactive cutscenes.

And voice acting. There should be voice acting.

And photorealism. But lol "pii u"

Guns and blood, too. And enough combat to get cuhrazy. And eyes inside my brain.

Memes in the map. That would make it not so dead.
>>
>>341460204
That doesn't explain why almost every shot that was shown was barren with no life to be seen.

Not just that, but the pop in/draw distance and untextured world look disgusting.

I seen them walk for minutes at a time without bumping into a single living creature. Compare that to TW3.
>>
>>341447996
>this is what happens every zelda reveal

They reveal over 100 abilities ranging fro time stopping to making ice on water every zelda? Every zelda is open-world and not a linear trash puzzle fest? Sonygger detected. Enjoy cuck simulator

I will give nintendo credit for actually listening to fan demands for once and returning the series to its nonlinear roots and I will admit that the game looks to have some potential but to say that it has no legitimate problems is ridiculous.
>>
>>341460002
Nintendo fan no, Zelda fan yes. I've had no reason to buy their shitty gimmick console because it's a shitty gimmick console and no one made any games for it. Why should I buy something that was LABELED AS A FAILURE FROM THE BEGINNING BY NINTENDO?

Just so I can suck Nintendo cock and label myself as a "true fan"?
You're a fucking simpleton dude. Like what the actual fuck is your problem? Are you for real retarded?
>>
>>341448332
But this game is more like the 2D zeldas. They haven't shown many npcs or towns and the verticality is really good.
>>
>>341460269
It doesn't matter. The only series of games that has ever had good weapon durability has been fire emblem and thats because its part of the core mechanic of the inventory management system. This feels extremely tacked on and generally unnecessary. If they wanted to make people use different weapons and armor they should have just given progressively better gear which is the objectively better system to promote changing weapons.

So you're outright proving you don't like Zelda games? Because puzzels have always been the focus over combat bar Zelda 2. Fucking idiot.

You don't have to like Wii U but it was a really shitty move to Wii U owners to shaft them with an inferior version of the game. It was a dick move.

Maybe have actual animals in this grass land.
Or seriously any living creature other than link and goblins and an old guy.

>>341451929
It's not meant to be TW3. TW3 doesn't have 100 mini-dungeons, hidden NPCs, etc.plus based on what we've seen the world is incredibly vertical. It also has better physics.
>>
>>341447996
Skyward Sword looked like shit from the get go.
All the handhelds before that have also looked like shit.
Only TP looked good and I agree it was a slight disappointment.

Dungeoms take up huge chunks of Zelda games

Usually it's a handfull of dungeons and they follow the formula of

>Enter dungeon
>Find required special item
>Complete dungeon with said required special item

But now, all the special items we saw link get were from little mini-dungeons

I'm not sure what theyre trying to do exactly, but theyre really blowing out all previous conventions of 3D Zelda progression here.

I like it.
>>
>>341457317
>weapon durability
I imagine that some of the more mainstay items will pop-up as well, which will have Magical infinite Durability. As such, breakable items will be enemy weapons, random shit like that axe and sword we saw, "deku sticks" and the like, etc.

>Sheika runes
It's a demo, can't say one way or the other. I hope there'll be more as well, too. For a game as big as they're promising and with as many environmental differences they'll be, I'm not too worried.

>story
The demo opened up almost as though we never played as Child Link in Ocarina of Time, and went straight to Link awakening in the Temple of Light. Especially how the game made a point of both showing & telling that the clothing left behind for Link was too small in the arms and legs for him.

What make me wonder is that the location he awakens in is called the Temple of RESURRECTION. Which may point to the idea that Link is a blank slate because he is LITERALLY a blank slate. I'm betting Link will learn through the game that a younger Link had fought against Ganon 100 years prior...and was killed. The "Link of the Wild" is literally his resurrected form/clone/whatever that was age-progressed to an age that he might be able to win this time.

>Biomes
It still rains in the desert, it still snows in Hawai'i. That and it's a game. No matter how big the world is, it's still going to be squished together just to keep the game from getting full. I mean Hell, in Washington state you can go from (semi)-active volcanos to snow-capped peaks to high desert in just a couple of hundred miles. Same with Oregon. In Japan, where the game is designed, the "squishiness" of the biomes/landscape is even more pronounced. They don't have the desert, but they have pretty much everything else.

If you call their overly glorified hills "mountains".
>>
>>341460796
its also about a 50th the size in scope

why doesn't it look 50 times better?
>>
>>341459363

they're using it as a great demonstration of some of the cool mechanics in the game

Link breaks the monster's armor with a bomb arrow that also sets the grass on fire, then he uses the heat of the fire to rise with his sailcloth and shoot the monster in the eye. It's rad as fuck.
>>
>>341460093
You think the durability of weapons was never present in Zelda games before?
Have...have you played ANY 3D zelda?
Giant's knife
>>341457536
Razor Sword
>>341457983
Shields that burn, Deku Sticks, enemy spears/buster swords, one-use deku seeds, bombs that detonate before the timed explosion if they're so much as touched, a magic meter that runs out if you use magical items too frequently/constantly, armor that runs on rupees, powerups that make you MORE durable or powerful for a time?

The main complaints I see about this new game are clear indicators the people most vocal with complaints don't play Zelda games (and have no intention of playing this one, either).

>spend 6 hours walking around a huge empty game world with nothing fucking in it

Yeah that's a real good sign anon, the game was fucking barren and empty as shit, fuck all animal or enemies and enemy caps were so sparse it was hilarious, no towns either.

Ded gaem.

>>341461115
Just so you know there are over 100 mini-dungeons and the puzzles there weren't that bad. Imagine in the larger dungeons.

lol

>>341460782

they only fought goblins, faggot. They even said the enemies would be different and more functional to their lvl in the full version.

"open your eyes" anon.
>>
>>341458069
That and there were a lot of wide open areas devoid of enemies or, if there were enemies, you could just ride right on by without interacting with (I'm looking at you, Eastern Hyrule Field GC version!)
