Hmm? I don't hate TP. I actually enjoyed it. I just feel like it was merely good in all aspects, but not really great in any department except for combat.
TP's combat was God Tier, but you never really had a chance to let it shine. I hope that this new game adds all the parries and special maneuvers that you could perform in TP, wherein with the smarter AI it might actually find a use.
Anyways, I feel like the other games are all great in their own ways. Ocarina of Time's storytelling and atmosphere was 10/10
Same goes for Majora's Mask, plus the artstyle and the time gimmick were great.
The Wind Waker is gorgeous and has an awesome overworld to explore, even if the water gets monotonous. And the characters in the Wind Waker are nearly as fleshed out as they are in MM.

You mean mortal draw spam?

>>146024349
Building off of this, TP in general felt like wasted potential: the video game.
The story is good. It builds the conflict and the history pretty well, but then kills it with a KojiPro tweest that it introduces rather lacklusterly, simply saying "yeah; this is what happened". There were very few hints and very little foreshadowing and nothing suggested that this twist was grounded in its own story. It cheapened the conflict.
Even without this, though, it's oddly paced. It takes this mysterious guy and builds him up slowly, but then as you think you're still in the early phases of your conflict with him, he disappears. Whoops! Turns out you just passed the game's climax!
(contined 1/?)
Ok, anyone know the best settings for SS emulation?

>OoT overworld instead of TP

(continuing 2/?)
>>146025452
Twilight Princess almost had what could have been one of the best villains in Zelda. He was intimidating, intelligent, and cruel, but unlike the excuse plot found in Ganon's intentions ("I hate all that is good lol"), he actually seemed to have grounded, sane reasons for doing what he did. He seemed to be a very sharp, rational being that believed himself to be just but ruled with an iron fist. And that's cool. But then you don't ever really see him. You hear about him a few times, your companion gripes at him, and you run into him in person I think twice. Both times, he doesn't really seem to regard you as much, implying that you're still in the early stages of building his character and his interaction with you. In these moments, it is suggested that he is incredibly vain, as only pride would prevent him from killing you on the spot in either event. However, it turns out that your second dull encounter with him is actually one of the game's climaxes, as this is the last time you see him before the end and he curses your companion. From here, the game somewhat tones itself down. Soon after this is when the plot twist kicks in and it shows that he was nothing more than an angry and insecure dude that let an even angrier but more confident dude take over him and they both only care about destroying all that is good without any rhyme or reason. The villain does not have any motives and loses all intimidation factor as he immediately switches from a cool facade to hysterics. It feels like you've been fighting a toddler the entire game.

Onto the subject of combat, TP had amazing combat. >>146025054 I personally never used the Mortal Draw, but without using the draw I was still able to seamlessly flow in combat and use a wide variety of moves to avoid the button mashing becoming boring. Unfortunately, the game never presents an opportunity to truly push the combat to its limits. The Darknuts are the toughest enemies in the game, and even they are still fairly simple in strategy. You don't need to utilize the combat to its fullest since none of the enemies are designed around the extended moveset.
The overworld is good. It's got lots of pretty areas, but it's not got much in the way of secrets. It's huge. And with the clunky horseback mechanics, you can't really explore it from horseback unless you're simply traveling from point a to point b. However, there's all the wolf caves and insects hidden everywhere. And with how huge it is, even the horse doesn't help. You'll spend ages trying to find that last heart piece you overlooked because it was in a rock on a ledge that looked like every other rock on a ledge or that grasshopper that was for some reason in the middle of the largest open section of the field near zero landmarks and near nothing that would draw the player to it. The overworld would have been ncie if it was much smaller, but it's simply nothing to write home about with its huge size. Plus, those dig caves suck. Surely they could have found more creative ways to hide loot.

I hated Fi in game but her design was still fun and then Maniacpaint made her sexy
Anons, I'm so happy; I got my Gamecube working again (a while back it suddenly stopped reading discs, I tried cleaning the lens again for the hell of it and it suddenly worked). So glad I can play GC games without having to fish for batteries for my stupid Wii mote.
I just popped in Wind Waker for the first time in a long time 'cause I'm in a seafaring mood and I think I'm finally going to go collect all the figurines. There aren't enough waifus in this game.
inb4 nice blog.
Oh, and here's one of these.
>>146025570
I like the WW and TP artstyles the most for different reasons.
(finished 4/4)
>>146026350
Since the art direction and the companion are almost entirely up to loose opinion, I'm only going to finish on the gimmick.
Wolf Link. Two attack moves. One has to charge and limits your movement. This move is mandatory against fast enemies that like to move around a lot.
Wolf whistling was kinda boring and it's tough to time it correctly. I prefer just entering the notes in the correct order and not worrying about timing, like in OoT, MM, and WW.
>>146025452
>>146025849
Zant was basically Ganondorf-lite, he wasn't interesting at all before he showed he was crazy. The entire point was that he was basically an insecure bully who was played by a true villain.
>very few hints
>Link's triforce being visible yet nobody caring
>Zelda being imprisoned and Hyrule castle being the center of the evil, almost exactly like a certain prequel
>The gerudo being extinct
They were obvious tells that the events of OoT never happened and that the Ganondorf of the past was still a threat. Killing Zant was the climax for Midna, but not for Link or Zelda. I agree the the story was too heavily centered on her and everyone else suffered as a result, but I thought Zant was handled well enough.

Realized while re-watching footage that the Old Man's beard is completely identical to the King's, just grown out and not neatly trimmed.
>>146029274
That was the first thing I noticed. The second thing was how he laughs. He always says "Har har har". Similar to how the king of red lions laughs. The third thing was the theme that plays when you activate the towers.
>>146029274
>the King of Hyrule is now an old, wiser man of action who lost his castle and is training/guiding Link to stop Ganon so he can have his kingdom prosper once more
I like this idea the more I think about it. For the first time, the King of Hyrule isn't just in background noise, a meme or just using a boat to help out, but instead actually out and about and also traversing the land like you are as he watches your progress to see if you truly are "the one" who can save Hyrule.
>>146029274
Nobody is mentioning the gerudo nose...
>>146023187
Is anybody else sad that the rolling mechanic has been removed?
I know it's just nostalgia speaking, but rolling all over Hyrule in OoT and MM was an iconic experience.

BotW seems more gerudo than WW
If Koroks evolved to live on the ocean, why didn't they evolve back to live on land??
And if their korok form was better for land anyways, why did they wait until a flood to evolve??
Checkmate Wind Watheists.
>>146033649
Koroks didn't evolve though. They are the same Kokiri from OoT, they've just changed form.
When you guys start a new game, do you put your name, custom name, or Link?
>>146034987
For as long as I've been playing Zelda I've put "Link" as the character's name.
>>146034987
When I was young, I put "Hero" as the name for a lot of games (DragonWarrior, Chrono Trigger, Zelda, etc)
I changed to Link during N64 days. I just might start using Hero again.
>>146034987
When I was a kid I used my name. Now I just leave it as link.
>>146034987
I've never used my name. I use Link or something that will make funnies.
>>146034987
Is it bad that I put Zelda at one point?
>>146034987I used to go withBBQbecause I loved meatI still do though, but now it's just Linkor Lunk
>>146034987
I always used my real name until Twilight Princess, where I changed it to the mangled and mispronounced way that my friend's Brazilian mother used to say it.
Now I just use a goofy random funny name.
So, I have a cool hope for this game:
>game likely takes place in Adult timeline, centuries after ST
>Hyrule unflooded, but in ruins
>the old one was kinda beaten up, so they built a new Hyrule castle and people slowly began to settle the land
>WHOOPS
>Ganon returns
>gets sealed in Hyrule Castle
As a result, the following I hope happens:
>Ganon trapped in Hyrule castle
>As link is exploring Hyrule, he can come across the WW Hyrule castle
>Spooky ruins filled with soldier stalfos and whatnot
And now here comes the part where I bring in unreasonable expectations (as if the above wasn't already unreasonable enough)

..why even live, anon?
This whole game is just a huge dungeon right?
>>146039696
That was the intention, the game was trying to make each area feel like a dungeon.
>>146040502
Which is something I loved, but...few people seem to agree?
>>146041238
Yeah, I also liked that. People dislike it for being linear, which is not something inherently bad imo.
>>146041238
>>146041484
Inherently linear isn't so much of an issue for me as is the feeling of desolation. Part of what made OoT great is the pacing. Every once in a while there were "peaceful" areas to explore, sidquests to do and people to meet. In SS there's only a single interesting area, Skyloft, and once you explore it, welp you're done.
>>146041737
>In SS there's only a single interesting area
>Skyloft
Fucking wot
Lanayru is 100 times more interesting, right from the start when you see the triforce thing
>>146041238
That was primarily why I hated it.
>>146041815
It's just a dungeon area. It'd desolate. There's nothing interesting to do or explore.
Admittedly I find SS to be visually the most compelling Zelda game (besides maaybe WW), but it's just so boring.
How do you explain this?
>>146042350
DELET THIS
>>146025570
I'm just gonna post it again because it's the definitive answer.
>>146042350
I know this is obvious b8, but it's seriously mainly due to streams like Twitch being a shit with washing out colors, shit frame rates and so forth. Mainly because Twitch will never change so long as LoL and DOTA 2 keep ensuring endless people go to their site.
Watch actual footage caught by those who recorded gameplay themselves or by other such people, and be amazed at the difference when streaming doesn't fug up everything.

>>146029274
>Warriors
He's around the same size as Ganon and sports a similar skin tone as well as a general color scheme with all of the black he's wearing. His standing stance is familiar as well. But if you've watched one of the IGN streams, then you can hear the Hyrule Castle jingle tune when he approaches you at one point. And the nose is more bulbous than hooked, unlike Ganondorf's nose.
So yeah it's pretty much the King, despite the crazy size and the like.
Kind of bummed though. It was a fun twist in WW, but it's boring a second time around. Would've much preferred a Ganondorf who went good after having Ganon extracted out of him or something.
>>146044780
>I can't with my pc
How come not?
Now this looks nice, SS spoiler (?) so spoilered the pic
>>146043512
probably just lava or some shit considering where they come from
>>146045301
What sucks about what they did with SS is that it kind of makes it impossible for modders to make it look as good as they're making Twilight Princess look right now.
>>146044863
and then you realize Link's got the perfect height to give Ganondorf a rimjob.
>>146045908
That doesn't look good at all
>>146046775
I appreciate the shaders but those textures don't really fit.
>>146046775
Best they can do with what the base game is.
>>146047139
Those textures just look like some shitty MINECRAFT HD TEXTURE PACK. Completely kill the game's tone
>>146045908
those textures in that TP screenshot look like ass
also considering the differing art styles between TP and SS, the fact that distant backgrounds look like watercolor paintings in SS suits the game just fine
>>146047286
Considering twilight princess' tone is ass it's no big loss.
I like the new OP.
>>146047436
>Considering twilight princess' tone is ass it's no big loss.
Please leave, you're not allowed to tell lies about one of my favorite zelda games.
>>146047524
I agree, them's fightin' words
>>146029274
Good catch.
>>146044461
How well does it run on PC? How's your setup?
I started a playthrough again so I can fully understand why I dislike SS so much, but I play on a TV that's also a monitor so it scales up the resolution to it's a jaggi mess and it's starting to weigh heavily on me.
>>146024524

>also considering the differing art styles between TP and SS, the fact that distant backgrounds look like watercolor paintings in SS suits the game just fine
I don't think the concept is a bad idea, I just think it was supremely limited in SS because it was on the Wii, and the texturework super suffered from it.

It makes sense in a game like Doom. Come on pal, let the autism guide you.
>>146049320
BotW doesn't look like a kids game, honestly.
>>146049323
I do anon, I do.
But I have other projects I need to finish, previous obligations and all that shit.
>>146049406
Yes it does, it's just the concept of what a kids game is, has changed. This is baby's first open world game.
>>146049532
>>146049532
In all honesty, that title probably belongs to Oblivion or Fallout 3
>>146049505
We will wait.
>>146049320
Demographic seems to be adults now, yeah.
Though I would say it's more 17-35, with mid-twenties making up the bulk of it.
>>146049532
It's definitely designed for kids in mind, but Nintendo is just too delusional to accept that the majority of the fanbase's target audience are adults now, and have been for a while.
>>146050241
Kids don't fucking play videogames on consoles anymore. They play stupid ADD bullshit on mobile phones and tablets.
Next time you go to an airport, stare at children until someone calls security and I'll guarantee you see 99% of them playing games on an ipad
>>146050516
I think they start moving to consoles and PCs when they hit their tweens and early teens though.
But yes, I agree that children 10-12 and under are primarily playing games on their ipad or watching stupid e-celeb shit instead.
>>146050321
Nintendo never did games only for kids. They always made games for everyone. Games like Mario and Zelda are made for all kinds of audiences, kids and adults.
People flag these games for everyone as "kiddy" because it's easier for shitty internet arguments.
It's like Disney's animated movies, they cater to all kinds of audiences, not just kids.
>>146050643
Correction, they used to.
Now it feels as if they're desperately trying to cater to children only, and are failing miserably at it while ruining the relations of third parties, fans and older gamers in general.
The success of the Wii really fucked them up. They've almost completely lost their way ever since.
>>146050826
I can't understand what happened behind closed doors that resulted in that existing
>>146050826
This shit needs to stop.
Nintendo always made subpar games, since the NES era. FedForce is not an indication of Nintendo changing. They create very brilliant games but they also poop out some very shitty games every gen. And it's not a new thing, it always happened. They created Super Mario Bros but Urban Champions at thesame time. They created Metroid Prime but also Doshin the Giant. They created Mario Galaxy but also Other M.
Pretending Nintendo started only now making subpar games is very stupid.
Posting a picture of FF doesn't change the fact they make games for all ages. A game like 3D World can be enjoyed by adults and kids in the same way. Even FF, as shitty as it might be, has been developed with that in mind. The fact it made Metroid fans explode in rage is another matter.
I'm sick of this "neo" Nintendo thing. They never changed. They always made both good and bad games. They always made both "dark" and "kiddy" games, despite the fact in their eyes they appeal to everyone. Quit it.
>>146050826
>federation force
>>146051315
I wouldn't call it neo nintendo but I'd say Nintendo hasn't been bringing their A game for awhile now. The new super mario bros series has stagnated something fierce, skyward sword wasn't so hot, and Other M was a spectacular trainwreck.
I feel like they're getting their shit together a little with Breath of the Wild, Splatoon, and Super Mario 3D world. Mario Maker too, honestly.
I look forward to more Nintendo games in the future. With the exception of Paper Mario Color Splash, fuck that noise.

Now you did it. You triggered the metroidfags.
Sorry anon, you are not allowed to enjoy a spin off of a niche series. You earned the title of "dickgobbling fanboy".
It makes me sad there won't be a HUD toggle (realistic assumption) just like it made me sad in Shadow of the Colossus
Both the games scream out for no UI elements (fuck that temp gauge - I can see Link shivering/sweating - I'm not blind; nor do I need to be told if I'm being noisy)
I will forever hate any minimap, too. Fuck minimaps.
I wouldn't expect them to go full HUDless by default, but the option would be so lovely
Whilst I'm going on about petty gripes, I kinda wish food gave you the perks/"golden" hearts and didn't replenish your base heart containers, which would be left to healing elixirs andfairies
>>146055321
Well, at least the HUDs are very minimalistic, unlike in Souls games.
>>146055736
Souls does a pretty poor job of conveying the relevant information through the character instead of obtrusive HUD elements, though
SotC just about did so and BotW looks like it could
I'm just a massive sucker for open screen space in games like these~
>>146056039
I kinda agree with you. I mean, the Wii U has two screens after all. They could move the huds in the gamepad screen. Hell, I'm sure some Wii U games do it.
>>146029274
>>146029773
Is this gonna culminate in the Old Man from The Legend of Zelda being the King of Hyrule? Is it gonna culminate in him being DAPHNES NOHANSEN Hyrule?
>>146044863
I think if it's a direct sequel to Wind Waker and he is the same king (which is plausible. I mean, he was the king when Hyrule flooded, yes?), then I think the repeat twist will be forgiven. It would be like Nico's cameo in Spirit Tracks, only less... pointless and shoe-horned.
Or he could be the first male Gerudo born after Ganondorf, looking to put an end to the demonic remnant of his kin and rectify the name of his people. That'd be cool, I guess.

Well, other Wii U games (definitely Assassin's Creed 4 and maybe Wind Waker HD) allowed you to move some, most, or all of the HUD to the gamepad so you may be in luck.
>>146057875It's not THAT bad
>>146058012
After Aonuma's outing about the Wii U gamepad, I doubt we will see some serious and good gamepad features. Which is a shame. I loved using the gamepad in WW HD.
>>146057875
Well, the Majora design is somewhat interesting, at least. Unless it's ripped off from something.
>>146058184
What'd he out about the gamepad, now?
>>146058269
>What'd he out about the gamepad, now?
He said he doesn't like the Gamepad. Because it might distract by what happens on TV or something along those lines.
It's just his own opinion, of course. Still some says it might be also a hint at two things: one, BotW will have very limited and lame gamepad features; two, the NX might not have a second screen on its controller.
>>146058269
well i heard he makes everything himself
and he has gotten better with animations

>>146058437
Well, that's a thought. But somehow the entire concept of the Sheikah Slate makes me doubt that. It's literally a tablet, I expect it to use the tablet controller to do tablet-like things.
>>146058508
That's an interesting take on Fi, and his models aren't too creepy. I applaud his effort.
>>146059196
I hope so. I really like the gamepad.
Sheik is M.A.L.E.
>>146042350
well memed my friend, but it is obvious that the top screen is modded skyrim
So, we saw the Master Sword is rusty as fuck.
Do you think this means even the MS will have limited uses like all other weapons? Or will it be the special one weapon that will never break regardless?
>>146060930
Would breaking Fi appear acceptable to you? To me, it certainly wouldn't.
Of course master sword won't break, but it'll be ultra weak like the default infinite ammo weapon. However it'll deal ok damage to Ganon.
>>146061042
What kind of breaking.This is a witticism, referring to mind-breaking. The punchline is that a created intelligence has no "mind" to be broken. Ha. Ha ha. Ha ha.
K so a thread on /v was talking about the time travel/manipulation aspect, and apparently you start out the game battling a guardian like in the demo from a while back, and THEN wake up in the resurrection room and go out into the plateau. Which got me thinking:
What if the towns, removed because of "spoilers," are not--like I previously guessed--futuristic, but are in fact seen from the past?
In other words, Hyrule really is barren and you only communicate with civilization in time-shift locations.
>>146061392
What if cities come from different times?
>>146061664
Yes. Precisely.
>>146061392
>and apparently you start out the game battling a guardian like in the demo from a while back, and THEN wake up in the resurrection room and go out into the plateau.
Source?
>>146061042
I'd break her if that means she will shut up.
>>146061084
I think it still might break. Cities are confirmed, so there could be at least one blacksmith around.
>>146062074
It's already confirmed Repairs aren't in the game. It won't break.
So, I'm playing through Hyrule Warriors Adventure and plan on buying the DLC soon;
do the new adventure have an intended level, as in one after the other in order,
or do they all start as if you were level 1?
I'm really wondering what could possibly stand up to you if the cap is Level 200
>>146062114
>It's already confirmed Repairs aren't in the game.
Where? When?
>>146023773
>Legend of Zelda: Dream Drop Distance
>>146062114
What if you can either save it for the Ganon battle without breaking it or use it against smaller enemies and then break it, forcing you to fight Ganon with normal weapons?
>>146062238
Your level is the same.
>>146060930
I can 100% guarantee the first thing you do with the Master Sword is run a quest to restore it to its former glory, just like WW.
>>146063661
Are you Aonuma?
>>146063758
Yes

Can't confirm. They were talking about it matter-of-factly.

dumb question: why is it commonly said that Aonuma's involvement with the franchise really started with MM when he is credited as director on OoT?
>>146067330
>the next Hero of time
I really wish people would stop acting like the Link from OoT is the only one that actually matters.
>>146068814
Says the Lame-o of Wind
>>146057763
That'd actually be a fitting twist all along, and actually would finally explain why the Old Man in Zelda 1 says the now-meme worthy line before just giving you a sword.
>>146068814
I always get the feeling that the Hero of Time is the only Lunk people do care about mostly because muh N64 nostalgia, and also because of Majora's Mask and TP's antics. Still, I wouldn't mind this new Lunk actually breaking the mold and allowing all Lonks to follow to be able to use weapons besides the Master Sword to bully Ganon and save the land with. Allows for plenty of creativity as well as for how the hero gets shit done, and what kind of hero/warrior/ect. he is in each game.
>>146025402

What are the chances of you getting a flute in the game and being able to control wild beasts with it?

No need to keep shilling motion controls buddy
>>146070641
Not him but I actually really enjoyed the motion controls in SS, even though I hated the game.
The only movement that was tricky was the skyward thrusthehe
>>146070641
Exactly. I have no need to shill. Which is exactly why what I said is legit.
I was thinking
being that there are at least 4 Koroks on the Plateau alone
will the other 6 also be on the Plateau or will they be strangely dispersed to the rest of the map?
I'm kinda hoping there are other things to look for in the different map sections or different types of sidequests
other than that
I haven't seen the footage of somebody finding the Korok on Mt Hylia, does anybody have that?
>>146074086
What? They said there's only going to be ten Koroks to find in the whole game?
And the ones in the E3 demo will probably be hidden elsewhere in the actual game.
>>146074403
I figured there are only 10 since the ones we've seen so far are identical to the ones in Wind Waker and there are only 10 in Wind Waker, with Makar included
I was thinking they'd be elsewhere in the full game also, I'm hoping weapon placements stay the same though, since I have the map memorised by now
>>146074536
There will be more than 10, that's too few.
>>146074678
I don’t know anon
10 seems enough, if they’re a sidequest that’s only for two sections of the map, but only if there are a lot more sidequests besides this one.
From Wind Waker There’s
>Makar
>Linder
>Olivio
>Hollo
>Elma
>Irch
>Rown
>Drona
>Oakin
>Aldo
The way I see it, I think you'll find 9 of them and Makar will be the 10th, in a special location
sidequests do that a lot in videogames and 10 is a round number
it would also feel weird seeing new Koroks, how the fuck are they born anyway?
I'm hoping there's a Deku Tree in this game that they lead you to
>>146075271
inb4 they lead you to the same Deku Tree that was the sproutling from OoT.
But seriously though, even though they keep saying to play TP beforehand, I truly do believe that this is a post-Wind Waker game. It would make sense for there to still be small villages here and there if/once the sea finally did get drained (after all, are we sure erryone from the Wind Waker islands truly left for New Hyrule?), and it would also explain why this new Lunk is apparently needed to "shine his light on Hyrule once again": Because the Wind Waker Lunk screwed off to a new Hyrule, and Ganon somehow didn't truly die from his head stabbing at the end of TWW, so thus a new one is needed when the time came for such.
I dunno how this Lunk ended up in this chamber thing at the start of the game, but most signs do indeed point to the fact that this is Hyrule post-sea draining, and your job is to finish the job Wind Waker's Lunk apparently didn't get done right the first time.
I can't wait for the game to come out and BTFO all you zeldauniverse timeline autists.
I hope every single one of you are wrong and it takes place somewhere retarded, like a split off Minish Cap where Vaati won.
>>146076213
Wow, don't you think you're being a bit rude with your comment? I think you owe these other people an apology for your microaggression.
Daily reminder that BOTW takes place after Spirit Tracks in an unflooded original Hyrule, unless you can explain the presence of Koroks in some other way.
>>146037521
>>game likely takes place in Adult timeline, centuries after ST
>>Hyrule unflooded, but in ruins
>>the old one was kinda beaten up, so they built a new Hyrule castle and people slowly began to settle the land
>>WHOOPS
>>Ganon returns
>>gets sealed in Hyrule Castle
This is basically the only possibility IF the game is set after Spirit Tracks, which it most likely is.
>>146076787
Koroks are just the form the Kokiri take when they don't have any outside interaction for a long time.
Sure, you take the Deku Tree's word at face value, but he's always been retarded.
>Hey Link, I know Ganondorf needs this gem to get into the Sacred Realm and fuck everybody over. So why don't you go take it to Hyrule Castle where he probably is right now? lol
>>146077274
>Koroks are just the form the Kokiri take when they don't have any outside interaction for a long time.
No proof.
>>146076213
I can't wait for your fingers to explode for the furious shitposting you keep delivering.
>>146077437
And what proof do you have that it's sea life that turns them into Koroks?
A senile old tree's claim?
>>146077581
>And what proof do you have that it's sea life that turns them into Koroks?
I have in-game proof, you have your own completely personally made-up theory backed up by nothing.
>>146076787
That's very obvious.
>>146077709
Your in-game proof comes from an unreliable source though. The Deku Tree may or may not know what he's talking about.
If some random palace guard claimed that Ganondorf is actually the Hero of Time, would you believe them too?
>>146076089
I'm hoping the only reasons they said the Twilight Princess thing is because of the tablets they added into the Temple of Time and because they want to sell more copies of TP HD
I'm sure Ganon was never dead
shit was just a flesh wound on his forehead
I'm guessing he just broke the seal or whatever explanation they'll give and now he's just a berserk force of nature that only wants to just destroy
I'm guessing that the fact he's just a calamity and how the game's theme is being in the wild and surrounded by nature is going to interconnect, so I won't be surprised if he won't even have any lines in this gamewhat if it turns out the Koroks have been playing hide and seek with this Link and been waiting in their hiding places for the past 100 years?
So Hyrule castle in OoT was destroyed in fallen hero/adult timeline and rebuilt and changed location.
But in the child timeline Ganon never destroyed it, but they built another castle in the north anyway for some reason. and the old one disappeared from where the temple of time is in TP.
So all 3 timelines had the castle change location.
It's funny how both TP Faron and BOTW Great Plateau are basically Skyloft. In TP you can see it too with the rope bridge over the large gorge connecting the Ordona Province to the Faron Province
>>146062270
Bill trinnen confirmed it in a video with him, some annoying female youtuber and one of the guys from the treehouse. They had a threesome right after the interview.

>>146081638
Wii u. no question about it man.
>>146081942
if you have brain damage, yes
This franchise has objectively become and remained garbage ever since Aonuma had taken over as producer over Miyamoto.
The last decent Zelda game was literally 18 years you have no excuse to be excited anymore.
>>146081942
This. Fairies and new maps aren't a big plus when on Wii U you can play with a Pro Controller.
>>146081638
Why does it matter?
Musoushit is never worth playing either way.

Pls go
>>146082183
You know, just cause they said it would support Pro Controller doesnt mean they were telling the truth.
There was a lot of shit in the demo that required the gyroscope of the tablet controller and the sheikah slate itself is literally an analog to the tablet controller as well.
>>146082459
Bro. I'm talking about HW, not BotW.
>146082198
Your post is not worth a (you) instead.
>>146082794
I will never understand you musou shit eaters.
GoW is bad because you mash one button.
But musoushit is perfectly fine because you mash one button, but you press a different one at the end!!
Play a real action game.
Go away, shitter. No (you)s for you here.
what if every time link died, a new one came from the chamber
>>146083414
>braindead musoufag isn't capable of describing why he likes his garbage button mashers
Why am I not surprised?
>>146083497
Except that doesn't happen. Expect the new Link shouldn't have all the equipment and items of the dead Link.
>>146083497
You keep your items and when you die&you restart at last autosave, which is always right near you died. At the edge/entrance of the square of the map you died in. At most it could be a virtual world, but not clones.
