I WANT TO FUCK FI
/r/ing a picture of Link with a dick drawn in his hood so that color-blind people can't see it.
7th July 2016 – Following last week’s announcements of some of the activities which visitors to this year’s HYPER JAPAN Festival 2016 can look forward to, Nintendo UK today announces that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be shown live for the first time in the UK, with daily on-stage demos hosted by Nintendo UK. Visitors can also expect live gameplay sessions of Capcom®’s Monster Hunter Generations™, DRAGON QUEST VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past and more – all taking place at HYPER JAPAN Festival 2016 between 15th and 17th July at the Olympia, London.
Nintendo’s booth at HYPER JAPAN Festival 2016 is set to offer a full line-up of on-stage activities for attendees to watch, and a packed roster of gameplay opportunities to experience throughout the three-day event. Those unable to attend will also get the opportunity to feel part of the action, as Nintendo UK will livestream a selection of on-stage content for viewers to watch at home via the Nintendo UK Twitch Channel on Saturday 16th July between 10.00 and 15.00.
Showcased for the first time at the E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles last month, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild represents the next great boundary-breaking adventure from Nintendo. The game marks a new pinnacle for the franchise, and thanks to a daily live demonstration of the Wii U version of the game that was shown at the E3 video game conference, UK fans heading to HYPER JAPAN will be able to get a first live glimpse of this massive open-air adventure. Nintendo representatives will take to the stage once per day during the show to take visitors on an immersive journey filled with unprecedented freedom of adventure

I'm gonna beat both of your asses
Too. Soon. And your opening pic sucks. Someone make another one at the appropriate time. We're getting less and less posters because OP is bad opener. Use the image of the ooga-booga Breath of the Wild cover.
The third dungeon map is a swastika.
Nice.
>>147727860
Swastikas are only bad in the West.
>>147727837
The last thread just had 20-30 more posters than usual...
Hope you're all having a good day.
>>147727860
Well it's a Manji which is where the Swastika came from. Nazis basically just stole concepts and things from everybody and claimed it as their own.
>>147727836
I love the design of the fighter's sword, between the big diamond style blade and that cool hilt and crosstree, it's just a nice, simple sword
>>147728021
What camera do you use to capture her so well like that?
>>147727837
We were on page 8 retard
And his OP is fine
>>147728162
I bet you're the OP
>>147728129
My minds eyeand photoshop.
>>147728117
It's a pretty good sword, nothing will beat the Razor's Sword in MM though. Shame it's pretty useless though.
>>147728287
No he's not, I am. And OP pics having and more or less affect on poster number is a myth.
What are your plans for today, /lozg/?
>Link will never be lusted after by a cute bokoblin girl.

Eat then boot up HW and get everyone's hearts to max + 255

>>147728996
This
>>147729097
Try to finish up Zelda 1.
>>147729097
Eating, replaying MM3D, Orange is the new Black, tweaking my Warhammer 40K Conquest Deck, flicking through the Historia. Generally, having a comfy day off work.
>>147729097
Finish up ALttP sometime today and then take a break from the 2D Zeldas and move onto OoT.
This is off topic so I'll put this on spoilers. For those who have never visited /nintyg/, there is a poster you need to be aware of. Pige :3. This faggot already showed up on the last thread, and will definitely show up again. He dislikes The legend of Zelda series and will no doubt shitpost and try to ruin this general so that we can go to the dead /nintyg/. Please ignore him and be wary of any shitposts that are inflammatory.
>>147729097
Watch Moribito the Guardian Spirit on Netflix all day, and if it finishes sooner than I think, start up Hemlock Grove season 2 or marathon Rurouni Kenshin. Whatever I feel like doing by that point.
>>147729502
He appeared on an even earlier thread and we've been going fine.
>>147729372
I should probably do that myself. I haven't beaten any of the early games.But I'm too busy playing Pokemon Go
>>147729502
I already typically ignore shitposters anyways, so we're all good.
>>147729502
That wasn't the real pige, that was me shitposting because of the faggotry over name bickering.
I'm not sorry.
What does /vg/ think of the possibility that Breath of the Wild is a return to A Link Between Worlds style dungeons?
>>147729957
Certain area's of limits until you have a certain item isn't necessarily a return to ALBW gameplay. Most Zelda games are like that, the only difference in ALBW (and possibly BotW) is that to an extent you can decide which items you get first.
>>147729957
A mixed bag. I loved ALBW and the attempt at it, but dungeons were too easy because they could be done in any order.
I'd much prefer their original thought of interconnected dungeons like Super Metroid and they can be done anyway and out of order as they connected on a grand scope but some are very hard.
Which is how ALBW should have bee, Turtle Rock/Ice Palace or whatever was the only remotely annoying place solely because of the fire breathing centaurs are whatever they were and even then it was still rather easy, everywhere else was just stupid easy, especially Thieves' Hideout.
Lets talk about how strongly the pieces are coming together for Botw being events after OOT in the defeated timeline and how this Link is the defeated hero of time resurrected.
>Many strong references to OOT are present among the game's map
>Path that led to hyrule castle in OOT is there, the ruins that are there matches up
>Temple of time looks like it did in OOT
>Castle town fountain and buildings matches up with OOT
>When in the shrines in Botw the title music for OOT is heard throughout the shrine, not to mention the trailer for Botw also played OOT title screen music
>Both the calamity and Link going into a deep sleep happened at the same time. Link is also asked to remember what happened 100 years ago.
>Master Sword in the same location found in ALttp
>No other game in the Zelda series makes such a strong connection to OOT than Botw did. Only game that came close was TP due to music coming straight from MM and OOT, as well as the temple of time making a comeback.
>>147730435
How about not this shit again?
>>147728097
It's the same thing. Japan's manji is literally derived from the Indian swastika via Buddhism.
>>147729957
>>147730098
>>147730285
What kinds of levels do you think BotW will have? What kinds do you want?
>>147730505
Everytime I come into this general I will post it, not only that more and more evidence is built up to support this. It trumps any post korok WW theory and any post TP theory. The only other timeline I would believe this being in is child era, but there's not enough proof of it being the case.
Why is Zelda 1 so fun?
>>147730949
Because it doesn't hold your hand at any point.
>>147730949
Why are you a darknut?
>>147730697
I want the typical Fire and Water dungeons. But I want more dungeons that don't focus on one particular element or theme. Just old-school, straight up puzzles and enemies dungeons.
I get that the Shrines kinda fulfil that, but I want challenge. I want rooms of combat and rooms of intellectual struggle. I want to fight Iron Knuckles or Darknuts on a bridge while the world falls apart around me. I want to stumble across an NPC that mentions something about a heart shape rock they once spotted hundreds of miles away.
I want refined game design and passive quest discovery.
Etc.
>>147729667
When?
>>147730697
I'm expecting a time travel section, they had time travel in the last couple console Zelda games, so having it in this game is expected.
>>147730808
What if it isn't in any timeline?
>>147731169
I'm playing a randomized rom for the fun of it, and I had the option to switch Link's sprite.
You can check out the randomizer here;
https://sites.google.com/site/zeldarandomizer/homeI'm also recording this whole mess, but I doubt anyone would want to see that.
I hope Impa is a companion, mostly because she has time traveled just as much as the HoT and SS Link has. the chemistry would be great.
I really want Sheik as a PC as well but a spinoff a la Triforce Heroes is just as good
>>147731614
>I'm also recording this whole mess, but I doubt anyone would want to see that.
Then why record it?
You confuse me.
>>147730949
fast-paced arcade combat
challenging yet rewarding
mysterious world ripe for exploration
clean aesthetic and sound
secretive but not cryptic
>>147731236
I never got that feeling from the game, and that i mean since i was a kid. Not that he went and destroyed everything, he clearly made it clear that it is him whom controls everything now, but apart from Castle Town the world is pretty much the same. So there is no calamity there.
>>147731734
Mainly for my friends since they like this kind of stuff, but I was talking of outside of them. I always hated shilling things I made.
On topic though, is there any good romhacks for Zelda 1?
>>147730697
>>147731170
I had an idea I posted before:
Starscape Temple
>Theme/Aesthetic
Visually black and neon-blue looking. Think loosely similar to some of the vistas in Metroid Prime 2 Echoes.
The Sheikah are tech savy but not enough to into space. However they can into Magitek enough to implant miniature worlds into books in their great Arcane Library (how the temple would be accessed, maybe even a tiny pre-dungeon)
A book that makes a fictional commentary on the technology of the future is on a sacred pedestal, there because it's the librarian's favorite tome or something, in the back of the Library.
The book would suck you in an Link would be transported to
a literal Temple in space orbiting the planet (a few visual quirks to indicate the fictional nature of the realm). Very "Sheikahpunk" in terms of the various tech strewn about the level.
>Item Obtained
Transposition Mask
Mask/Rune that allows you to jump positions in space but only once set conditions are met. That and/or a special/arrow type. It'd be neat to have more arrows than just fire/ice/light. Maybe Electirc and Dark + others?
Have it be Dark arrow and have it function with Gravity effects to play off of the theme of the dungeon.
Transposition Mask could be used as the song-of-soaring-equivalent in the overworld.
>Types of Puzzles
Gravity shenanigan related ones and also some of that autistic "Mask interplay" I talk about in you-know-what http://pastebin.com/aDhkvC1E
Maybe like Inverted Stone Tower but 90 degrees at a time.
>Boss
A recurring enemy throughout the dungeon would be the Flatwoods monster Aliens from MM and have the Boss be the Leader !Space Witch!Alien.
Why are they in space book in the first place? Dunno. Either have them invading it to get the legendary end item inside or have them be a product of the book that bled out to cause the event that transpired in MM Romani Ranch.
>>147732118
But you are shilling them. reverse-shilling shilling still.
>>147716027
>In OoT Ganondorf just stood at Hyrule Castle
I always imagined he and his armies were off conquering other lands, which is why there's no real military presence to hinder Link.
>>147732243Every thread
What do I do, /lozg/? I'm actually hyped for breath of the wild. I didn't think I could feel this anymore. I haven't actually been hyped for a game in years. I need to play it but it isn't here.
>>147732118
>Mainly for my friends since they like this kind of stuff
Fair enough.
But I don't really play romhacks, sorry I don't know of any good ones.
>>147732492I answered you here anon>>147731931
>>147732492
All the knights of hyrule were killed. The reason there's no military opposition to Link is that there is no Hyrule military anymore after Ganon takes over, Ganon relies on monsters and his magic to enforce his rule, as seen how he controls the Zora and Goron.
>>147731931
That's actually the point: Ganondorf doesn't want to destroy, he wants to conquer. Hyrule was under his control, and he wants to let things unfold back in Hyrule so Zelda will reveal herself, so he travels abroad.
Going off of this, we see that Ganondorf wants to -conquer- or -rule-. But he's not good at it, it's not really what his heart is capable of. He envied Hyrule, but his people were never advantaged when he took over, he never attained anything but a tyrant's throne. He couldn't take the prosperity of Castle Town, only destroy it.
And when he fails and degenerates he becomes destruction himself. Sour grapes.
>>147732842
Yeah. That's how i thought of it. Ganon didn't really care about the world to have such an active presence on it. He mainly uses magic, as is shown in child era. And we never see anything like a Ganon military apart from the huge ass pig pikemen in Forest Temple.
>>147732536/r/ing that one anon expand on his Ghost Ships/Poe Fleet Captain idea, which I really liked.
Select two party members from the bottom two rows, and one royal party member from the top row.
>>147733921
Is this from a game somewhere?
Anyway, qt pink PJ girl in first row, steaming kettle guy in second row, and zombie gravedigger guy in third.
>>147733921
Night Dude with red cape; Old man with the back basket and straw hat
The little green doll

bottom: pensive pinkdress
>>147733921
I'll take the red cape swordsman as my warrior and the yellow/white dress wearing blonde as my spy.
As for my royal, the guy with a moustache and slicked back hair in blue with a red jewel at his throat.
>>147734678
It's Minish Cap official artwork.
So the controller is arriving soon.
I'm planning on emulating
Minish Cap
LA
OoA/OoSnot sure in which order
LoZ
AoL
I don't even know if FS can be played alone.
>>147735939
>OoA/OoS
Go Seasons then Ages, since there's a spot in the map in Ages you can't explore if you didn't "transfer" your save.
>>147728021
>>147736098
Not him, but can you do that if you downloaded both on the 3DS?
>>147729271
Do you think you get Doggo from the start or do you have to find and tame him?
Is it going to be like Dogmeat where he can permanently die?
>>147736490
Are you?
>>147736490
They're more than a Waifu, and real enough for me.
Be nice, anon.
So, what's your favourite Zelda game?
>>147734851
There's two knight dudes with red capes. Good call on the zombie gravedigger.
>>147735361
Quality choices mate. I didn't even notice her before.
>>147735436
I wonder what the story was behind that royal guy. A magistrate for the kingly guy perhaps?
>>147730697
I want a physics based dungeon, whether that involve launching yourself up to different floors/levels or rolling/sliding slopes.
I want a jungle/forest level that requires burning down vines or trees and cutting them down to cross gaps and such using the Fire Rod/Fire Arrows.
I want an ice dungeon that requires the use of Ice Arrows/Cryo thing in order to make proper blocks for slide puzzles that use physics.
I want a complete technology dungeon more so than any other dungeon in the series that requires lights, electricity, Guardians at every turn, etc.
>>147732492
To be fair he does attempt to do so in the Downfall Timeline.
>>147736098
But there is also Ages->Seasons where the linked transition happens naturally due to the Pirate Ship.
>>147736903
>I wonder what the story was behind that royal guy.
His clothes are quite different from the others in the top row, so I would say he travels a lot and picks up on foreign fashion trends.
Let's go with a royal envoy?
>>147736819
put amiibo in
get doggo
doggo dies
put amiibo in
get new doggo
sounds like that's it
Wow, this thread snuck up on me. I was wondering why I wasn't getting any thread updates.
Drawfag edition, eh? I'm not a drawfag, but I have a good idea for a shoop art that I wanna make. Will post sometime, probably next thread at this rate.
>>147729097
Just got into the 7th dungeon in Ages. If I feel up to it I'll finish the dungeon tonight.
>>147736605
Of course, since it gives you a code to transfer your game. And by transfer it's more of a NG+ than anything else.
>>147737174
I imagine there's some sort of cooldown if Wolf Link dies, since there's a clock ingame that'd be easy to use.
>>147736903
Meant the knight dude on the right, with the sword and no helmet. Also, I don't think I chose any gravedigger?
>>147736903
>>147737030
If it's Minish Cap artwork he's one of the people from the Wind Tribe.
>>147737241
Ah, I see. Is it very different from the regular game? Like, TPHD mirrored map, "I ain't playing that because I already had to play right-handed Link the first time" different?
>>147737560
>If it's Minish Cap artwork he's one of the people from the Wind Tribe.
How can you tell?
I haven't played Minish Cap in a long time.
>>147737549
24 irl hours.
fuuck that.
>>147737758
I dunno, just remembered them wearing middle-eastern looking garb. I may have been mistaken, though.
>>147737830
Yeah that sounds right. I thought I remembered hearing in a stream that but didn't have a source.
I wonder if that's for Wolf Link in general, or if it's tied to an individual amiibo?
>>147736819
>Is it going to be like Dogmeat where he can permanently die
>like Dogmeat where he can permanently die
>Dogmeat
>permanently die
Oh, Anon...
>>147737549
i dunno, we'll have to wait and see
i'm hoping for not much, i want my doggo
>>147737938
Ah well. I didn't think it looked particularly middle eastern, for what it's worth. That being said, I know little to nothing about clothing in general let alone global fashion trends.
>>147737749
No. Instead it gives you a little bonus in the new game, I think you begin with 4 hearts, a new ring and something else. You also gain the ability to take codes characters give you in the old game and take them to that girl in the tree. You can eventually get the Master Sword, bombchus, your old rings back, the biggoron sword and such.
>>147738360
Wait, it might have been confusing. It's a new game plus in the game you didn't played. Say you started in Ages, then you can transfer in Seasons and play that game normally with some bonus added to it. Same is true for Seasons > Ages.
>>147738360
That's pretty cool.
>>147738314
Just tried to find him on the character list on the wiki and couldn't. Unless I missed him, my best guess is that he's an early design for the wind tribe.
>>147737174
You know looking at this makes me want Link to wear his sword at his hip for once.
>>147737830
This is why you build him to 20 hearts before you play.
It's probably best to only deploy the dog in certain situation anyhow. The critter ain't gonna have any sense of stealth.
>>147738818
I wanted that too for a while, but when I looked at the fanart where he wears the sword on his back and loads his belt with pouches, the over shoulder sheath seemed to make more sense.
My favourite version however, is when he carries the sword, in it's sheath, in his hand.
>>147738818
Like this.
>>147739204
But that's not on his hip, he's just carrying it.
>>147739442
I think that guy is >>147739003 and finishing his post here >>147739204
and yeah Link carries his sword in sheath in the art with him on a cliff and looking out into the distance.
God damn old school Link is a badass
>>147739204
It is in his hands, anon.
>>147739204
I miss when Link used to not wear pants.
Those days are over, /lozg.
>>147739442
>>147739808
That's why I said, "My favourite version however, is when he carries the sword, in it's sheath, in his hand." >>147739003
>>147740057
>Those days are over
Have you not seen any BoTW videos?
Shirts and Pants are different slots so you don't have to wear pants.
>>147740226
But you were linking it to this >>147738818
>>147740307
Whoops, so I did. My bad.
>>147739204
To further add to this, Link storing his boomerang in his shield is brilliant.
>>147740490
Right?
>>147740490
But the shield handle is just retarded. I wonder if the Japanese will one day get shields right.
Not that no shields used handles like that, just not ones like that in pic.
>>147740248
At the bare (hehe) minimum, you wear pantsu. You can't go completely naked. He wakes up in his shorts. Who sleeps for a hundred years with clothes on? I bet his crotch is rank.
>>147740574
What are the chances we will learn sword abilities or do you think they'll just stick with classic Zelda left to right swing like they shown in the demo.
>>147740668
No silly, it's in his left hand.
>>147740670
Given its size and shape. I would say it was loosely based on the Scutum. The handle is the same too.
>>147740854
A solid 3 out of 5
>>147740854
I think it will be just that. To emphasize the WILD part, you learning to survive.
That is, if you were implying some kind of teacher and stuff.
>>147740890
Heh heh
>>147740925
I believe it would be more like a Kite shield.
But Japanese tend to only depict shields with handles like that, and not with the belts that strapped it to the arm, even when they were shields that used that.
>>147740981
Well they mentioned they'll be missions where Link will learn about his past, maybe flashback missions or something, might remember lost sword arts like that.
>>147741141
See it's things like this that makes me yearn for design documents.

>>147742793
What is this implying anyway
My time with ALttP is slowly drawing to a close, just 2 more dungeons to go. Been fun, and a long time since I've beaten it.
>>147743023
That dungeon was something. I spent too much time in it. Boss was very easy.
Hey, I love we are working on AlltP in synchrony.
>>147742929
That the Hero of Time was cold and he put some pants on.
>>147743261
I meant the pic. The filename
>>147742929
Gramps in ALBW is the same Link from ALttP/OoA/S/LA. He eventually put on pants.

>>147743202
I really like the dungeon aesthetically, it's a bit tedious though with running in circles to drop down holes. I like the boss though, easy, but it's neat.
Godspeed to us in Misery Mire though, unless you went ahead and did it. I find it to be a pain.
>>147743352
>>147743560
Holy shit I never knew that. Time to kick his ass.
>>147743560
Yeah, get all the Challenge Medals if I recall. 50 total I believe.
>>147743729
I had no idea that was possible, the streetpass battles were never an option for me, sadly.
>>147743845
Yeah it took me awhile to get them all. StreetPass is dumb to lock stuff like that away. Not everyone lives in Tokyo for god's sake.
It's pretty neat though, I did forget another thing.

BotW is seems a bit familiar.
Playing through all the difficulties in HW is actually a major time sink.
>>147745973
HW is in itself a major time sink, what are you talking about?
>>147741296
Some sword abilities have already been shown, like the flurry strike.
>>147746407
Never played HW, but i played 400+ hours of Samurai Warriors 2. If i didn't 100% it was pretty close.
>>147744881
>Dogmeat is colorblind and keeps running into the fucking force field
He's actually hard to keep alive.
>>147747336
I'm color blind and don't do that.
So is wolf link able to regain health after taking damage? I haven't seen him do so when they showed him off?
This will never be canon and it makes me sad.
>>147747650
You have clearly never been chased by supermutants through Mariposa.
>>147747830
>Mariposa
Actually, i did.
>>147747797
What am I looking at exactly?
>>147729957
Nigga Aonuma said OoT was the secret sauce for the OTHER 3d zelda's
He specifically stated that he didn't use it this time for BotW
>>147748485
A scene from Hyrule Warriors.
>>147747797
Explain. Canon what?
>>147748706
Midna at the head of an army of Darknuts and Stalchildren.
>>147748485
Midna's intro in HW Legend Mode. Assuming I remember correctly, she's leading a third party in the first TP map because she's so pissed at being impified (she blames Cia for this, though Cia's story seems to contradict this), so Lana has to beat up Zant's forces while Midna's are also harassing her.
>>147749130
>that pic
WEW
So has a helper been confirmed for BotW yet? I hope we get someone like Ezlo this time around.
>My name is Fi.
>I was waiting for you.
>You are not the master, but I can consider you a master.
>My mission is to serve you.
Is this lewd? This feels lewd.
>>147750526
They confirmed that there will be no companions in the game, if that is what you meant.
Or are you asking about Amiibos?
>>147750526
I think the slate is your companion/helper.
>>147750639
Does she call you goshujinsama in nipponese?
If yes, then it's implied lewd
>>147750684
Post source please
>>147750526
From the way they talked when introducing the Wolf Link amiibo it sounds like you're going to be alone for the majority of your game.
>>147750749
Further research is required.
>>147750861
Source:this general
>>147750526
They have not stated any confirmation for or against a standard companion. They have only said that the wolf amiibo will not give you advice. Also, the demos have shown a disembodied voice that triggers when you reach certain goals.
>>147750639
She a sword. She exists only to penetrate.
>Vatican Fi
>>147751770
Does that mean that the Three Godesses are The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit?
>>147752026
Hylia is the pope?
>>147752404
In that situation. Yes, she is. Zelda is the fookin pope
>>147752513
Would that make Link Jesus?
>>147752719
Considering he also comes back to life just to save the world, yes.
Demise is Satan, the evil Demon King that rose from the Earth/Hell.
Ganondorf is the anti-christ the evil satanic muslim from the far off desert come to take their Holy Land.
>>147751770
Pick a flavour
>>147753073
What other flavors are there?
>>147753035
The Muslims also believe in God and Jesus. So they can't be the anti-christ.
>>147753121
This is all wee have on offer today.
>>147753206
>no vanilla Fi
;_;
>>147753073
Tulpa flavor.
>>147753146
Yes, but Jesus isn't their Messiah like Christianity. This is basically the Crusades. With Richard the Lionheart/Daphnes the Lionboat, Saladin/Ganondorf, etc.
See it works out.
Reminder that you will NOT hear this in Botw ever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9TZdfSuVdY
>>147752719
Not if one of the Goddesses is already the Son.
Unless we find out later Link is actually one of the Goddesses...
>>147753073
Today, I feel like Strawberry.
>>147753281
Good choice anon.
>>147753281
pls no
>>147753417
That's a big FiDo you have her in original color and some others?
>>147753304
No. Stop your /pol/ shit now.
Also Satan isn't even evil. He works under God. That whole duality that was created over Satan-God is almost a new religion.
>>147753526
What colour would you like?
>>147749130
Okay, replaying the mission in Legends, here's pretty much what happens.
>Lana goes to TP-era after the gang splits up to close the Gates of Souls that Cia opened
>runs into Cia's Dark Forces and Twilight everywhere
>rescues Agitha
>"Can you help me find the Gate of Souls, weird bug girl?"
>Dunno what that is, lol, but I've got a find-anything butterfly that can find it!"
>escort her through a Twilight keep because the butterfly hates Twilight
>Midna intercepts via cutscene
>"You think I'll just let you poison my guys with that butterfly?"
>"It's not poisonous, it's a find-anything butterfly!"
>"Oh, in that case, yoink! Butterfly, find the bitch who made me a shortstack!"
>Midna's Forces appear as a third party and occupy empty Twilight keeps so you can take them and de-power Midna (she's got a red aura and superarmor otherwise)
Midna does eventually come around after you can rough her up a bit, but not before Agitha refers to her as an "angry kitty" and Cia hears "caterwauls".
>>147753304
>Richard the Lionheart/Daphnes the Lionboat
How did I never make this connection?
Daily reminder that Fi stands forFicken.
Alright guys, I'm a newfig on this board so pls be gentle
I've been playing Wind Waker for the first time lately and love it, but I can't get other the fact that most of the music is based on the wavetable MIDI sounds. DOes anyone know the reason for that? Was GameCube incapable of handling high quality audio files and MIDI had to be used instead? Or was that a artistic/budgeting thing?

How about Twili Fi?
>>147753417
Is Fi hard or soft? Looking at her, she looks like some sort of stone.
>>147753742
>budgeting/size thing
Even TP doesn't have real instrument music.
>>147753546
It was a joke, I thought that should be obvious with Daphnes the Lionboat. Chill out anon.
>>147753648
Probably because lions are just a generic thing associated with royalty. They're on almost all house sigils back then if they commanded any form of land and people.
>>147753742
It was just Nintendo being Nintendo.
>>147753986
She's soft
As seen with Ghirahim, who can change between normal skin and Sword hard skin
>>147753986
She always reminded me of like a Gummy Bear honestly.
>>147754137
So Fi can change her skin too?
>>147754285
She should be able to do so.
>>147753994
>>147754006
alright, thanks
shame, would expect Nintendo to try to do better than that
>>147754373
Imagine the pussybilities
>>147753860
Sorry anon, I'm not that good;__;
>>147753986
Both. I like to believe it's both.
>>147753860
This is forbidden. Too lewd.
Friendly reminder
>>147754494
They tend to try and spend that money elsewhere. Miyamoto had to fight them to get orchestrated music in Super Mario Galaxy, Miyamoto himself had to fight if that tells you anything.
Their logic was something along the lines of "Lets not invest in the music of the game and it's legacy, but the marketing of the game in the now." Or something really stupid and retarded that made no damn sense.
>>147753820
Are you somehow afraid of greentext?
>>147754856
I mean, that soundtrack doesn't ruin the game or anything, so they might have done the right decision in the end, but the more stories I hear about how ass backwards Nintendo logic is, the more I'm surprised that the company is still successful.
#BTH
>>147755339
They're only still kicking right now due to handhelds and the Wii's success.
If they keep up the rate they're going they're gonna have some problems sadly.
Honestly though as much as I love WW, it and the rest of the Zeldas would sound so much better with properly orchestrated tracks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg3zuF2yaSA
Just a decent enough example.
Nintendo are just one of those companies that think of Japan first and damn the rest really. That's especially true in stuff like StreetPass, Pokemon Legendary Code giveaways, the weird mobile shift they're doing, etc. Japan doesn't really typically care too much about orchestrated stuff half the time, or this and that, and typically have shit taste.
>>147754730
Huh, I never realised that.
>>147755845
>Nintendo are just one of those companies that think of Japan first and damn the rest really.
For a lot of things but they haven't shut the fuck up about how unless Zelda sells 2 million copies world wide they will not make profit.Come on Nintendo, make the NX a modern SNES or whatever.

Reposting for those who may have missed it.
Got an email from PR about two hours ago, posting here for lozg.
7th July 2016 – Following last week’s announcements of some of the activities which visitors to this year’s HYPER JAPAN Festival 2016 can look forward to, Nintendo UK today announces that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be shown live for the first time in the UK, with daily on-stage demos hosted by Nintendo UK. Visitors can also expect live gameplay sessions of Capcom®’s Monster Hunter Generations™, DRAGON QUEST VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past and more – all taking place at HYPER JAPAN Festival 2016 between 15th and 17th July at the Olympia, London.
Nintendo’s booth at HYPER JAPAN Festival 2016 is set to offer a full line-up of on-stage activities for attendees to watch, and a packed roster of gameplay opportunities to experience throughout the three-day event. Those unable to attend will also get the opportunity to feel part of the action, as Nintendo UK will livestream a selection of on-stage content for viewers to watch at home via the Nintendo UK Twitch Channel on Saturday 16th July between 10.00 and 15.00.
Showcased for the first time at the E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles last month, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild represents the next great boundary-breaking adventure from Nintendo. The game marks a new pinnacle for the franchise, and thanks to a daily live demonstration of the Wii U version of the game that was shown at the E3 video game conference, UK fans heading to HYPER JAPAN will be able to get a first live glimpse of this massive open-air adventure. Nintendo representatives will take to the stage once per day during the show to take visitors on an immersive journey filled with unprecedented freedom of adventure.
>>147757040
It will probably be the same stuff showed at E3, no?
>>147757189
Most likely, yes. Hopefully we get some people to actually test out new things that we've heard you can do, but no one has recorded yet. I want to see Link levitate goddamn it.
>>147757189
It's probably the same limited demo, but more people playing it, and more footage, is never a bad thing.
Goodnight.
>>147757860
Those text bubbles are going to piss me off. I can feel it.
>>147757965
You'll barely notice them.
>>147756823
I could get into a huge tirade on Nintendo's problems, but the problem at the end of the day is trying to recapture that Wii market.
>Kids are on their tablets, lets copy that
>Ok...that didn't work, lets try phones and touch screen buttons, get that patent going!
>That won't work out either
They need to just make a console just as powerful as the Neo/Scorpio, Wii U Pro Controller (with options to use the other shit if you want, most wont), give that controller options to be customized like the One Elite, and call it day. You have the flagship titles there, now let the third party come back on an easy to develop for system with the power/hardware to actually compete.
That and hire some people to actually develop on your games. Like I think BotW will be fantastic as a Zelda game and it looks fun, but in the back of my mind I'll never get over the fact of...imagine if this was a water-colored/cel-shaded Witcher 3 world. These beautiful trees blowing in the wind when a storm kicks up, these enemies all over the world that just pop out holes in the ground or fly around, these towns and shops in places, etc. I can't get that out of my head sadly, and I never have, I've always imagined what Nintendo flagship games could be if they truly bothered to go all out.
I guarantee a proper console with those well known franchise names, and a competent all out development, that Nintendo would rake in money and be right back there competing with ease.

Link gave the bunny hood away.
You see, some point years after MM, Link was wandering through some uncharted territory, and he came upon a quaint village. Much to his surprise, it was populated almost entirely by bokoblin. He might have immediately started cleansing them, except that he had been greeted so warmly by the first bokoblin to wander by. While enjoying a warm soup at a local restaurant, Link happened to inquire why most of the village was made of women and children. A very proud woman told him that most of the men had been conscripted to fight against tyrannical oppressors in the grasslands. Link felt a tugging on his tunic. Looking down, Link saw a little bokoblin girl. She was fairly cute, aside from her upturned pig nose and large floppy ears. She brushed her long white hair out of her face and asked Link if he had seen her daddy during his travels. It seems that her daddy had a bokoblin club almost identical to the one that Link was carrying. The little girl hoped that Link had met her father, and had news on whether he would be coming home soon. The little girl was tightly clutching a plush doll that looked like a bokoblin wearing the green tunic of the legendary hero. Link shrugged his shoulders, telling the girl that he doesn't remember meeting someone like her father. Scarcely able to look her in the face, Link tried to change the subject. Link reached into his pack, and fished out the bunny ears, which he gave to the little girl. While the little girl ran around the village enjoying her new toy, Link quietly paid his bill and slipped away into the woods.
>>147758117
I hope we can turn them off. I liked the thing in SS that let you turn of the Wii Remote overlay.
>>147758240
Pretty sure they only show up the first time you get the item and that's it. I recall them mentioning it somewhere.
>>147757860
>heart stops for a bit
>>147758565
That's not so bad. But if it keeps telling my a shield or weapon is about to break, I'll rage. I would prefer visual indicators.
>>147757860
>Hearts
>D-pad selector
>Map
>Clock
>Sound Meter?
What's the other thing?

That's a noise meter not a heart monitor.

I can see myself trying to adjust my strategy around the issue. I'll probably avoid using axes for battle, so that I have them for trees. I will probably save my shields for sledding. I will probably kill with my slate whenever possible, just because it appears to have infinite ammo.
Reminder that Sheik is MALE

That was /pol/ shit numbnuts.

>I will probably kill with my slate
You'll do what with what now?
>>147759771
BotW includes the Sheikah Slate. Link downloads apps for it at the shrines, which basically gives him infinite bombs and limited telekinetic powers.
>>147759912
I knew about the square bombs and magnesis, but what the fuck else do you get that would let you kill solely with the slate?
>>147759464
>>147760296
She just doesn't understand.
>>147760135
That's where the qualifier "whenever possible" comes in.
Help me out guys. I'm trying to come up with a "special" mechanic for elemental arrows but only got Fire, Electric, and Dark arrows down pat. Coming up short on Ice and Light. They need to be something other than their directly shot effects.
As follows:
>Fire arrows
Instead of a whole seperate bomb arrow you instead have fire arrow combine with your bombs for a fire-arrow-boosted explosion
>Ice arrow
Dunno. Had an idea for a Ice shard shotgun but thats not novel enough. Need something with an utterly unique puzzle solving potential.
>Light arrow
Also dunno but at least I want to change it's color from yellow to white. (purely so Electric can have a color and blue is taken)
>Electric arrow
See below
>Dark arrow
Gravity effects when shot at special symbols strewn about the overworld and it's debut temple.
>Elemental Arrows
I had an idea to add a "special" use to each arrow type. Completely unique to each type. For Electirc/Shock/Lightning/whatever Arrow the special would be that you can shoot one straight into the sky then it'd be gone. You could then take out your sword and whatever you target and swing AT a thunderbolt would strike it. For puzzle you could have some targets that can't be shot directly with Shock arrow and only from above, which you have no line-of-sight to. This is solved with the lightning strike special. Or some things simply require that strong of electricity.
>>147760615
Fair enough. I thought I had missed something.
>>147760897
STOP IT WITH THIS,
>>147760897
What we need is a Face Arrow
>>147760897
An arrow that transforms enemies into masks
