Ever notice how she becomes kinda ugly when she's not in motion?
>>342838031

Didn't she worked in IGN at Nintendo department?

Yep.
So ayys?

Probably. MM went their after all.
Based on this, if it's just a deeper take on A Link Between Worlds where do you think it will fall in the overall Zelda game rankings?

That tiered dungeon system seems like pure speculation that one anon was pushing in the last thread. He couldnt suggest a way that concievably made sense for them to gate your progress, once you have the glider
>>342839257
Back on the N64, an Islamic lobbying group threw a fit and got Nintendo to change the Fire Temple theme because it was 'offensive to Islamic chanting'. Now they've called something Oman, which is the name of a Muslim country.
>>342839910
Ohhhhhhh. Creeps.
This game gon be as fun as twilight princess and as content rich as wind waker
>mfw the Master Sword shatters
Why are you able to eat during combat?
They need to get that shit out of the pause menu or at least make a lengthy real time animation for it.
>>342839974
Here's hoping.
>>342840118
Not likely, the sword needs to survive.
>>342840208
If you can't swing a sword and eat an apple, you should seek medical attention.
So we're in agreement that BotW is on a "hero fails" timeline branching off WW where Ganondorf wished to de-flood Hyrule but then got his ass sealed in Hyrule Castle?
>>342840314
Nobody is agreeing on anything because we factually know fuck all.
>>342839394
In ALBW when you enter Lorule, you are stuck inside that zone. Unless you return the way you came and go to a new one. The image proposes this is the same premise behind the plateau. Basically it's a font to cover up that all the dungeons are the same tier, and only the shrines have any depth.
>>342839681
I don't know I can think of plenty.
Rivers you need a boat for, strong winds (so you need Iron Boots), mountain range too steep to climb but also too windless to traverse without a grappling hook. Lakes of tar you need to run over with Pegasus boots.
I don't think they'll employ one thing across a whole region. I think they'll go "to get this far into the game they'll need to have done either A or B dungeon, unless they did X shrine." However, in the instance of the latter (if you did X shrine), you might keep running into the same obstacle over and over till you break.
That's how they'll do it.
>>342840274
Kek
>>342840208
I mean being able to heal while paused has always been a thing in zelda games, as well as numerous other games. 2nd, its not impossible to die because plenty of people were dying while playing the demo, also there are enemies that due a great deal of damage. Thirdly, if you fall in cold water or some other hazard, no amount of healing is gonna save you seeing how quickly your hearts deplete.
>>342840314
Naw, it's in the hero fails branch.
What happens if you make link eat too much crap? Do we press a to take a sloppy shit?
>>342840531
Hylians don't poop. Only pee. Which he will do when you enter water.
this looks so much better than i imagined it to be honestly
am i going to have to buy a NXor a wii u now
>>342840642
I have a Wii U, but I might give it to a family member and roll with the NX if it has at least one other game that I'm interested in.

That's nice and all, but what am I going to buy in a post-apocalypse world?
>>342840118
It wouldn't surprise me if the Master Sword ends up being a sword that can't break, but when its durability runs out it just ends up a really shitty sword until you fixes it.
>>342841678
Sexy gerudo slaves that you can fuck, murder then eat.
>>342841773
or maybe itll just be not that good of a weapon for general-purpose use, with other weapons you can find in the game much superior to it for most uses (except for that they break after some amount of use) with the master sword, besides being unbreakable, only really being strong against a certain, limited set of enemies/bosses (ganon/dorf)

Did that say "50 Rupees"?
Either everything is going to be 10 times more expensive, or you will come across rupees only 10% as frequently.
>>342842229
It's a 50, did you not watch it all?
>>342842226
That's fine as long as they don't expect me to doggie paddle across it like in TP.
>>342842346
I just said it was a 50. What is wrong with you?

Muh nigga. Battle of the Bastards, while visually awesome at times, was a fucking mess. The episode is great for finding out who amongst your friends are total plebs. But then again, this show has been a mess for a while, but at least Hardhome and The Wall didn't have me questioning the whole thing the entire time.
Tfw no more fookin legends.
>>342839910
None of that is correct
>>342842890
It's like how "the Bible" and Christian imagery was in LoZ1 and ALttP, but removed. Link's shield still kept its cross, amazingly.
>>342840274
Reforging a shattered sword is an ancient trope
>>342841015
Neat, I thought Aonuma said you'd only be able to get them from merchants
>>342843323

Literally fucking everyone. I was not even surprised.
>>342839910

it was a decision they made without any outside pressure, which islamic lobbying group are you talking about? stop talking shit

>>342844068
Dumb Fiposter
>>342843949
Wasn't it? I remember that line also. It makes no sense to me that they would be Koroks in all other timelines. Apart from "well, they chose to be like that in all of them". It's the only one acceptable.
>>342844015
I still don't get it.
>>342844119
Fi is love.
>>342843675

>>342844086
I was cringing when that happened. I really didn't believe it could get worse. I love being proven wrong.
>>342837749
>Return of the Knuckle or Knut?
I'm worried about the enemies in this game. Since WW we've been getting less enemies with also less variety of them.
>>342844242
Nah. you made the claim first, so let's see yours.
>>342844149
Google Ariana Triforce hoax and curl up with a comfy drink and read.
>>342843949
It just said they "took on that form"
It never says they evolved or it was permanent, it literally implies they're shapeshifters
>>342844412
I'm not the original guy you were quoting. I'm just calling out your hypocrisy. If you're so sure of something, prove it yourself before demanding someone else prove their claims. Especially since if you can prove your claims, it will prove him wrong anyway.
But if you want to act like a child and not provide a source, then it just looks like you have no source.
>>342844583
I'm looking for one. I'm also looking for this phantom islam lobby. It's hard to prove a negative
>>342844370
I want the original concept for the Pols Voice. Where they are able to hear you. We have a noise meter in this game after all.
>>342844583

>There was no public outcry - Nintendo only realized after initial release that it was a prayer chant, which conflicts directly with their “no real-life religious references” policy
>>342844086
I hope the fucking books are totally different and the fat fuck kills Sansa on the first chapter of Winds of Winter just to disassociate from the show.
Also, back on topic, here's some technology showcase
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKvSw6rk75w
>>342844839
There's really no reason that the NES version shouldn't have used the flute as their weakness in the western version. Since the first time you encounter Pols Voice is in Level 5, where you get the flute.
I think they only showed up in Link's Awakening and Minish Cap after that?
>>342839910
Not only you're wrong but you're also retarded
NOA removed all references to religion by themselves, the Bible in TLOZ was called Book of Magic and the church in ALttP was called a sanctuary
>>342839150
>Oman Au
>arab
What the fuck are you even talking about?
>>342845096
Oman is an Arab country.
I'm looking for the Breath of the Wild video where the old man says "clairvoyance, or something like that."
I want to see the context of this. I imagine he's asking Link if he wants the parasail now that he's acquired what he wants, but I want to see for myself.
Have you seen this video?
>>342843713my dad works for nintendo and I got a special cartridge that has the dungeon that has the triforce in it
>>342844909
I could honestly just spend hours fucking around.
>>342845209I heard that you can get to the wind temple if you can complete the game with ten hearts and no retry
>>342844583
>prove it yourself before demanding someone else prove their claims
Do you have any idea how stupid you are?
Any updates on the framerate, or is it still rock solid 20 fps?
>>342845058
/pol's voice
>>342845543
Gets to 30 often enough, drops when anything interesting happens.
>>342840314
No because that is retarded
So we know there's gonna be towns, but I'm expecting most of the population to be off the plateau since it seems quite isolated. Maybe there will be a population center in each of those segments of the map, Kakariko near Death Mountain, Zora's Domain near Lake Hylia, etc.
>>342845574
is it true that /pol/'s voice were originally going to shout "gas the kikes, race war now" but they had to remove that from the final release?
>>342845209
>>342845465
For real tho, I'm playing through OoT3D and I miss the mystery of those days. Kinda wish they added some random unexplainable shit in the remake. Although I know they retained a lot of glitches.
>>342839910
>'offensive to Islamic chanting'
it's a sample of words from the koran repeated, muslims don't chant in that way, how is it offensive to islamic chanting? that makes no sense. since you put that in quote marks, it's a real quote from this "islamic lobbying group" right? faggot
>>342845862
Yes, but a jewish lobbying group threw a fit and got Nintendo to change it because it was 'offensive to the holocaust'
>>342845862
They drop mysterious red pills when killed.
>>342845494
>make a claim
>don't provide a source
>demand someone else provide a source for theirs
By your logic, the third guy who makes an unsubstantiated claim should overrule the second guy. Making him have to prove it. And so on and so forth.
>>342842989
The kokiri didn't evolve into koroks, it's just a form they can take, kinda like how they took the form of children in OoT and those mole things in Skyward Sword. They take this form for some reason whenever the kingdom is in peril or decline.
Or maybe Nintendo just wanted to include them and didn't think autistic retards would debate the timeline placement over a single fucking korok.
>>342845892
I'm playing through MM3D and it's super comfy, but I feel as though the new bombers book kinda makes it a bit too easy to find quests
>>342846297
I'm taking a break from it, but I like the notebook for the explicit purpose of helping me find my way again when I go back to it.
I have heard that in MM3D you can catch a "Jabu Jabu" fish in one of the fishing holes.
>>342846297
Razor or Gilded?
>>342846297
>the new bombers book
What's new about it?
I haven't played MM3D.
>>342846127
>Or maybe Nintendo just wanted to include them and didn't think autistic retards would debate the timeline placement over a single fucking korok
That's the only reason i can think of that makes sense. >>342844145
>>342844041
Nothing is canon, everything is permitted
>>342846710
everything except wind waker
>>342846481
>I like the notebook for the explicit purpose of helping me find my way again when I go back to it.
A very fair point.
>>342846492
Go Razor or go home.
>>342846506
It records EVERYTHING you do and is divided into completed and ongoing quests. Basically, if you don't finish up in an area, it lets you know that there's still more to be done. It robs the game of its special time travelling quest discovery
>>342846297
How is it different from the old one? Does it have everyone's schedule from the get go?
>>342844576
It said that, and that they took it only after they went to Forest Haven, after being secluded.
But they also appear in other games with other forms, why repeat it if not to imply that it is placed in the WW timeline?
>>342846838
>Basically, if you don't finish up in an area, it lets you know that there's still more to be done.
I think you're lying. I didn't do any sidequests in MM when I played up to the Zora Eggs, and I don't remember this.
>>342846880
If you talk to one of the Bomber kids and he gives you a clue, the notebook opens up and records it, so that it is constantly opening up, and you have a long list of "rumored" events.
Sounds annoying, but I kind of like it, since I don't play the game as constantly as I would when I was a kid.
>>342846880
Rather than write it out, I'm feeling lazy, I lifted this from IGN.
The Bomber's Notebook, originally given to you by Jim, leader of the Bomber's Gang, no longer requires you to talk to the Bomber Gang as regular Link. The Happy Mask Salesman now gives it to you early in the story.
The new version of the Bomber's Notebook has been improved in functionality and options, providing much more detail on characters you've met, rumors you've heard (rumors are now given by members of the Bomber's Gang), and Side Quests you've completed. The three menus include an Event Notes tab of every side quest that has been rumored/in progress/completed, the Schedule (which remains mostly the same from previous versions) and the Map tab, that shows you where on your map to go for certain side quests.
Several side objectives that were not present in the Bomber's Notebook because they lacked a relevant NPC have now been added to the Notebook, and one entirely new side-quest has been added
>>342844335
>>342844086
You mean showing up at the end just when both sides have been killed down to weak bullshit ISN'T something LittleFinger would do?
Sometimes the pleb is you.
Will the NX be BC?
I have skipped the Wii U, but I don't want to skip the games.
>>342847072
>I think you're lying.
Then you do that.
If you're doing a quest for someone, and you get a reward, and it's not tagged as complete, then you know there's more to do.
>>342847019
There's also references to salt from the "great sea." If its not reawakened WW Link, I bet he's in the same bloodline.
>>342847115
Showing up out of nowhere having marched from half the North's length, through the Riverlands
>>342847205
No idea for the discs. Either way I'm sure the games will be up on the eShop
>>342847019
WW's case is because of an apocalyptic flood. BotW is another apocalyptic scenario, maybe they change into koroks in world ending scenarios. A "new life" form.
>>342847365
I think it's just a WW's sea dried up. Hence the ruins, from Old Hyrule.
>>342847081
I'm hoping for this kind of NPC interaction in BOTW.
>>342847451
oh my god
>>342847524
I'll admit I'm interested in seeing how many NPC's we will see and if there is the equivalent of villages etc
>>342847115
He literally said in a previous episode that's exactly what he was gong to do.
The fact that Ramsey didn't know is retarded. The fact that he showed up at the end to save the day isn't.
>>342847365
Also, forgot to ask, where is that reference? can you link it to me?
>>342847697
ERMAHGAWDSHECROSSEDHERLEGS
Touch a woman. Jesus christ, even just talk to one.
>>342847524
I doubt it. Majora's Mask is pretty unparallelled. But then again, I just discovered the Linda/Anton sidequest in WW.
Literally nine years after beating the game I go back and discover this. I was pretty thrilled.

>>342847721
I want masks too. With this game having stats for a bunch of things, maybe they could boost certain abilities.

I'm chuffed for you Anon.
I really wish I could re-discover stuff in a new zelda game for the first time. BotW looks like it's gonna be a real game changer.
>>342847893
Super unlikely, but I wouldn't mind some FD Link for late game stuff. But that's never gonna happen because Aonuma doesn't want me to be happy.
>>342847872
That's Ylapu from The Continent. Or another Toushin Toushi.
>>342847917
>>342847917
>In his defense, she's fucking hot.
She has her moments, but people sperging out over wanting someone crossing their legs makes me fear for humanities longevity.
>>342839150
It's actually Aonuma scrambled.
>>342848273
You are in a thread for Zelda filled with people discussing lore.
>>342847205
Problably no. With cartridges and probably no second screen, it might have no BC. Maybe only lame ports of the best selling games (like Splatoon) but no ports of the most niche games (like W101, Bayonetta and others).
>>342847872
It's Beedle's air ship. Screencap this.
>>342847451
I see nintendo are now going in heavily for the sex appeal in their marketing
I approve
>>342848402
Which means they have a vested interest in something that isn't staring at a woman that they would be afraid to approach.
>>342848402
Ain't it glorious.
>>342839910
And it sucks too. The original version was one of he best temple themes in the game, bar-none.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5blHw6C4Ax4
It's probably the same reason why we'll never see the Gerudo ever again as well.
>>342838031
Has anyone tried lifting metal while Link is standing on it?
>>342848070
But fi has no arms or hands desu.
whats the best zelda game to100% complete
>>342848273
I've seen worse.
Lighten up anon.
>>342848720
Majora's Mask by far
>>342848558
not that I know of in any of the videos that have been shown but its been *explicitly* confirmed that its possible by bill trinnen I think in an interview somewhere
>>342848548
probably not since the gerudo themselves arent linked to any religious stuff
>>342848669
You got me there.
>>342839081
Stop ruining the comfy with this shit.
>>342848720
>>342848784
I second majora's mask.
>always have to do the kafei and anju quest before doing the fight with majora.
>>342848336
with 100 shrines, the monks are probably all the developer names scrambled. i think i saw a miyamoto one
>>342848840
They're inspired by muslims and that alone is enough to get people rustled now, even moreso when their leader is the main villain in several Zeldas.
>>342847263
Oh sorry. I thought you were saying it notifies you in MM3D when you don't finish one.
>>342847917

>>342848912
I try to do as many sidequests as I can before I beat the game. It is a real rush to do it.
>>342838091
Link is for _.
>>342848529
I think it actually means that they look for escape valves to forget that they have never held a conversation with a women for longer than a minute that was not in a VN.
>>342848912
>always have to do the kafei and anju quest before doing the fight with majora.
I would marry you based on that alone.
>>342849220
This Link is for doting.then violently fucking shortly after.
>>342849002
but even the actual koran words didnt offend anyone, that faggot anon was talking shit and got proved wrong. being inspired by arabs isnt the reason we havent seen gerudo since oot
>>342847927
It's in one or more of the gameplay vids when someone picks up said salt. I'll try to find a video when I get home assuming the thread is still going.
>>342848548
The Version of OoT I had, had this version. Also Ganon blood. Good stuff. I don't remember it sounding so creepy though.

So is wolf link going to have an explanation in the story or no
>>342850052
Do you want him to?
On the logo…
''(laughter) So this actually has a slightly different meaning… There’s actually a lot of meaning to the way the sword looks. So when you do see it in the release version I hope you’ll be surprised.''
Well /v/? What's the deal with the Master Sword?
>>342850052
Probably not. Most of the amiibo shit doesn't have a story explanation.
>>342850052
Supposedly, no.
On the other hand, Aonuma did hint that the TP connections do share some sort of story importance.
>>342850147It's a hologram.
It's probably just as dilapidated, just in a different way.

1.) there are 5 "options" not 4
2.) You have no source whatsoever for the basic claim of this: that you'll be landlocked into a region after jumping off the great plateau. It actually goes against what they've said about the game already
3.) Aonuma said that Ocarina of Time USED TO be the secret sauce, and that for this game players should expect a move from Japanese to western style food. You can't even get the fucking quotes right.
4.) Choosing to do the story first doesn't mean headed for the final boss. How you made that jump defies logic.
5.) The three options quote is true but you are using it as a support for an argument that it doesn't actually connect to.
Stop posting this retarded image every thread. It's just misinformation that purposely leaves out all the important quotes like:
"After you leave the plateau you are free to go anywhere and do whatever you want to do"
Or when Bill Trinton said the first thing he did when he got off the plateau was head for the edge of the map.
Stop posting this image.
>>342849174
I usually beat all the bosses anew
>>342850147
I'm surprised that not one person at E3, not ONE, was competent enough to say "Hey, Aonuma why is the Master Sword not in the Temple of Time in the demo where we expect it to be?"
You would think a good journalist would try to eek out information by asking hard questions.

Every single post-FSA game is set in a timeline where there are no Gerudos in hyrule.
Minish Cap and Skyward Sword are set before OoT which is when the gerudo people started interacting with the hylians. The DS games are set post-ww so the gerudos, like most of the older races, are extinct. ALBW is set in the ruin timeline where we never saw Gerudos in the first place and nobody seems to be aware they existed.
The only instance where it's not justified is TP, and even then it could just be the case that the hylian army chased away the gerudos after ganondorf's execution (we see them in majora's mask but that's not set in hyrule and it might not be set in the real world at all, and they only show up in FSA which is set many generations apart after ganondorf is born again).
Wether or not it was a deliberate decision on their part to avoid including them I have no idea, but it makes perfect sense for them not to show up in these games (again, except for maybe TP).
>>342839910
Didn't see it in the chain. I could be an idiot. Oh well. Here's source proving this post is pure retardation. Cheers.

I legit tried the "bomb a certain part of Hyrule field and then go back to your house in Kokiri village and Dark Link will be standing there and play the Song of Saria and..." trick.
Faith will make you do funny things.
Can someone get me the entrance to the OoT Temple of Time (not facing towards the Master Sword) and a proper look at the BotW Temple of Time (not just the up-close of the Hylia statue, like the entire inside of it)?
Mostly I may have noticed something that may help us with BotW's temple of time, and I just wanna make sure. But I can't find a pic of either of those two things.

I'm tired of Japanese admiring girly looking bishounen men.

>>342851138
>why
Look at the state of the temple in TP, then look where the sword is in aLttP
>>342851138
game journalists don't play videogames so they wouldn't even know that the master sword should be located in the temple of time, and that the woods where you find it in alttp are in fact where the tot used to stand

Where are you getting this from? The E3 demo clearly shows only four.

I wounder if you'll be able to take boat rides across the map since the rivers are connected. Just going down the channel and sight seeing. I loved doing that in wind waker.
>>342847524
I'm sure there'll be some, but MM only got so hard in on sidequests by making it the focus of the game. BotW won't have the repeating time system nor the advantage of having everything happen in a very small world, so that level of NPC interaction would be extremely difficult to pull off and possibly not worth the effort.

>using lore to excuse this shit
lol, no.
Gerudo aren't around anymore because of all of the muslim controversy over the years.
Nintendo has retconned the lore when it gets in the way of their primary plans, and they'll do it time and time again.
They then bend the new lore around that.
Simple as that.
>>342848548
Gerudo probably won't show up again for the same reason Kokiri won't. They have very limited appeal, and there's too much story baggage to them. Most of the recurring races are recurring mostly through virtue of being interesting visual designs, and having a simple enough theme that they work in multiple settings.
>>342852481
>The desert is name Gerudo.
>>342852837
There are literally Koroks in BotW.
>>342852715
Telma is probably a Gerudo which is why she runs a seedy back-alley bar, and why she's so mad at Hyrule's soldiers not doing their job.She's a big-built gal so they could get away with giving her massive, half-exposed titsSeriously, look at how deep the HD version makes her cleavage look
>>342848490
Fuck I bet it is! FUCK!
>>342852910
Because they're different. Fucking wood sprites walking around. In OoT they're children. Children is not novel.
>>342851989
Link has always been an underage boy who's either girly or good-looking in the looks department. This is how it is and how it should be.
It wouldn't be Zelda if we had it any other way, especially so if Link was some typical western RPG macho protagonist in his 30's-40's.
>>342852823
I'm sorry gamergate, not everything is about politics. Though, as you would know if you bothered to read my post, I specifically mentioned that they may have been removed for whatever reason, but fact is that there would be no reason for a Gerudo to show up in any of these last few games, just like it would make no sense for a subrosian to show up outside of holodrum or for a rito to show up in any game that isn't set after ww.
>>342852993
Is this out yet?
>>342851989
Well too bad, because Link's an elf strongly associated with fairies and has never been "bara" ever.
>>342853068
They're still the same thing. The Kokiri are Koroks. Just the same as they were likely Kikwi.
>>342852910
Koroks are connected to the Kokiri in the story. But they're not Kokiri. Kokiri are immortal fairy children. Koroks are tiny trees.
>>342852837
Kokiri are literally just koroks/kikwi taking on a different form.
The Kokiri were never "dead," they're simply immortal and they just constantly shape-shift to suit their environment. Though through Makar, it's implied that they do lose their memory over a given period of time.
>>342853302
>Kikwi are living seeds
>Kokiri are children
>Koroks are trees
it's like a life cycle. Sort of. Yeah ok maybe not
>>342853392
You idiot Makar literally learns his song from a Kokiri ancestor ghost
It's the same reason why we know the Rito came from the Zora
>>342843285
That's goood means they bigger
>>342852993
This pic needs a "jesus christ how horrifying" edit.
>>342853302
Except Kikwi are Deku Trees.
If you do that side-quest to bring Oog up to Skyloft, Horwell says something like "I believe I've discovered a new species between tree and fauna."
>>342853165
I've got some scans anon, nothing translated, i'll keep looking, maybe storytime dump in the future
Does the game have zones? Loading screens might be a better way to put it.
Example, let's say you leave Great Plateau and head to the adjacent area, Fairy Titty Woods, would you be able to head from one to the other without a loading screen?
It's not a big deal either way, I'm just hoping for the inevitable gliding from one side of the map to the other, if it's entirely open.
>>342853302
What i'm trying to say is that there will be no children Kokiri as kids are not interesting. That's all. I'm not saying that the Kikwi/Kokiri/Korok peple are not appealing, just their fucking human form. Learn to read anon.

So is Nintendo tit man or ass man?
>reminder
Few things of note.
WW Hyrule Castle was most likely built over the Temple of Time, the pillars, the architecture in comparison to TP's Temple of Time, the Triforce Symbol on the floor in front of where the Master Sword would reside. However, in this instant WW's would be in reverse from TP.
OoT has a very similar window to the one above the architecture in WW (the circular one above the doorway leading outside). However you can't see this from inside the OoT Temple of Time, only on the outside as you enter.
We know the Sealed Temple in SS becomes the Temple of Time, and it has the same pillars and general layout.
We know in the Historia that a Temple once rested in the Lost Woods of ALttP/ALBW, but as we've seen and the Historia says, it's lost to ruin and overgrown.
Now comes BotW, based on layout, how it looks from the ouside, etc. It matches up with the rest of the Temples for the most part, barring the Hylia Statue which should only be there as of SS (and it can't be that far back unless they're retconning Ganon's origins). However we see the Master Sword is now in a forest.
So a few things can be taken from this. The Temple of Time in BotW is not the same Temple of Time as everywhere else and is only a recreation, or it is the same Temple of Time and the Master Sword has been moved by Zelda or this Link prior to his sleep for whatever reason, maybe an attack on the Sacred Realm/Temple of Time due to the Guardians outside.
>>342854247
I didn't play SS. What is it that gives away that the Kikwi are the ancient Koroks?
>>342854437

>>342851989
Whether or not he is a kid or a young adolescent, Link is supposed to be young and surprisingly inexperienced.
If Link was a mighty warrior and legend fit for the task from the start, it would undermine the whole courage deal the games got going.
Link's legend is made more special because it always starts out with an inexperienced youth on the surface no more special and likely even less suited for the task than lots of others, and yet he persists and prevails over challenges no one else could.
It's the wrong kind of story to star an experienced veteran of any kind.
>>342854438
>The Temple of Time in BotW is not the same Temple of Time as everywhere else and is only a recreation,
unflooded and resettled Old Hyrule post-Spirit Tracks.
>>342854238
no nigga it just came out in japan use google
>>342854783
I don't speak rune, I'll wait for english
>>342854517
They live in the forest around a Great Tree, they're in the Faron Woods (same place in TP that houses the Forest Temple with Kokiri Symbols), they also talk about Farore's Flame, Farore associated with the Kokiri.
However, based on the facing direction of the Sealed Temple in SS that inevitably becomes the Temple of Time, that puts Faron Woods as the Hyrule Field in OoT, meaning that Faron Woods may have been chopped down leading to OoT and the Kikwi forced to retreat to further forest and to take on a human form so as to not be killed by Hylians or have their woods chopped down, and it happens to grow back and be renamed Faron Woods by the time TP happens in the Child Timeline.
Just a theory however.
>>342854438
The Wind Waker temple/castle really was incredibly cool.
It really outdoes all the other temple/castle locations in the franchise. People who ignore WW for its artstyle are really missing out.
>>342854754
If that was the case, it would make it Hyrule Castle in WW, not the Temple of Time, the two places are in all likelihood the same exact place.
Besides it wouldn't explain who removes the Master Sword from Ganondorf's skull (or how), or the fact that there aren't islands/mountains jettisoning up into the sky.
>>342854990
Personally I loved TP's Hyrule Castle more, the outdoor courtyard, the first room you actually visit being an audience chamber, the throne room at the top.
Speaking of TP Hyrule Castle.
Anybody know what the hell these are, I saw them looking around, but they're quite far away from Hyrule Castle so they can't be part of it's spires.
>>342854103
They why were they in FSA where it made sense if the controversy you spoke about was during the N64 days? Why did absolutely nobody complain about them in that instance (which is the most recent one)?
Fact is, Gerudos only show up in OoT and the child timeline games and they show up in every single one outside of TP, just like koroks only show up in the adult timeline and there's mostly only humans in the ruin timeline.
Japanese people do not give half a shit about offending brown people. If that happened nowadays they would have just edited the western version like they remove all content that is offensive to muslims now (like scantly dressed women).
Nintendo japan is so out of touch that I doubt they even realize they could be offensive to anyone. Also there's a long list of zelda races that stopped showing up at some point since the games focused on bits of the timeline where it would make no sense for them to show up, were they all protested by some specific group?
>>342855246
I assumed they were generators of some kind that powered the forcefiel, transported there by Zant
Someone during a playthrough mentioned that it's possible for weapons to catch fire if two wooden weapons collide.
Anyone has a video showcasing this?
>>342854438
I think it being a recreation could work, but the ruins outside make me think it's not.
>>342855303
Twinrova appears in the Downfall timeline, which is interesting considering the Hero of Time should have killed her in that timeline as well. Unless they got revived, I honestly don't remember, don't think so though.
>>342852993
and from looking at this pic, I realized something:
If BoTW does take place in the downfall timeline, between OoT and ALTTP - does this mean we have a chance to run into the Hero's Shade to teach us some new tricks again?
Except this time around he won't he won't just be teaching sword skills, he could be more like an optional companion this time around. Not a hardened skeletal warriorbut a teenage ghost with the mind of a child on account of him being murdered by Ganondorf in this split?
I mean we're already getting Wolf Link and the game is showing a lot of nods to previous entries in the series; might as well go all-out with it.
>>342854438
>However we see the Master Sword is now in a forest.
Interestingly enough the rusted "master sword" is roughly where it wouldn't be odd to find it in relation to the temple of time.
Could be that it used to be in the temple but then they replaced it with a shitty replica.
>>342845892
they left the ocarina pedestal in the 3DS version. i think it has a clever filename too, but it's been a few years
it's "unprofessional" to do that kind of thing when you work for a soul less giant like nintendo. could probably lose your job for leaving "top secret" assets on a cart
>>342855421
I mean that would be the logical assumption, but I'm pretty sure that barrier was just magic.
I mean you can't see those from the ground, definitely not around Hyrule Castle.
>>342855482
Same here, especially given the ruins with all the flowers that has a similar layout to Zelda's Courtyard in OoT being nearby.
Curious who moved the Master Sword then, very few actual people can touch it, only Zelda/Link if I recall.
>>342854110
Sheik you idiot
>>342855725
Possible, but I imagine not. Since that Replica is off a bit to the side of it. I'm quite curious, normally they're pretty good at being consistent for the 3D games, barring the direction the Temple of Time actually faces that is.
>>342855539
>Hero's Shade
ALttP is not set in TP's timeline.
>>342856146
Oh i read the spoiler now. Sorry.
>>342856146
Not him, but the Hero's Shade could possibly exist in that timeline too considering he wouldn't have been able to pass down his skills or be remembered properly as a hero either. Assuming we aren't the Hero of Time of course and that did take place in-between OoT/ALttP too.
>>342855938
Could be that you can just use magic to teleport the sword+pedestal easy enough so long as you don't try to pull the sword out
>>342854228
you're pudgy and gross
>>342856381
Seems odd it's not done before hand though and it's typically been in a consistent place. Maybe Aonuma just forgot he wrote that the Lost Woods in the Downfall Timeline was once a Temple.
>>342844370
SS had plenty of variations. I think we'll get that plus many different enemies.

1,50m(4"11): 56,95km2 (21,99miles2)
1,55m(5"1): 60,81km2 (23,48miles2)
1,60m(5"3): 64,80km2 (25,02miles2)
1,70m(5"7): 73,15km2 (28,24miles2)
1,75m(5"9): 77,52km2 (29,93miles2)
1,80m(5"11): 82,01km2 (31,66miles2)
>>342856324
Yeah, i corrected myself.
>>342855895
That's kind of small and clever, heh.
>>342856146
No, but it's set in the timeline where the Hero of Time died and failed to protect Hyrule.
If the Hero's Shade exists in the child timeline for merely being unable to pass down his sword skills, then I would think he'd have a lot more regret in the downfall timeline, where he actually outright failed and nearly doomed Hyrule because of it.
Nintendo probably won't do it though, the Shade is most likely a one-off for TP and nothing else.
>>342853136
>muh gg obsession
>>342856672
See my version had the Islamic Chanting and Red Blood removed (outside of Shadow Temple and the one Forest Temple room), but the Gerudo Symbol was still in tact before it's change.
>>342856743
Personally I believe it's closer to 80-100km2, but it's definitely not 360 as previously memed.

9:55. So many fun and stupid shit you can do in this game.
>>342857459
Because geography changes over time. I don't see why people are still using that as indication of WW.
We even see in SS that the Lanayru Desert used to be an ocean in the past, but time changes. Could just be a similar situation as opposed to "the Goddess' literally decided "fuck Daphnes' wish, fuck the people's prayers, fuck it all, unflood Hyrule".
>>342839081
I think it's important to keep in mind that, just because you CAN reach a dungeon, and CAN enter said dungeon, doesn't necessarily mean that you can beat it.
Furthermore there's entirely the possibility, given the extensive gameplay footage we've got, that many puzzles may be designed with qualities that allow for multiple solutions, and that complexity could still increase over time the further away you get, especially as you explore areas with tougher enemies or harsher climates. Examples of multiple solutions include that one physics puzzle with the giant stone ball chained to a track and held on by a smaller metal ball in said track. You could use the magnesis rune to pull it back and then forward, swinging the ball into the wall, or you could use the stasis rune to build up kinetic energy in the ball. I'd be willing to bet you could use the shock from bombs to get it swinging, too.
I mean it's not exactly like ALBW, where you can literally buy every tool from the beginning. You have to find them. You have to earn them. Hell, there's lots of types of puzzles and challenges in existence that could give challenge to a dungeon without needing even a single tool to beat it.
ALBW's difficulty curve was silly, yes, but it was basically only one or two tiers in all surrounding zones, y'know? Think of a circle with eight lines coming out of it, ending on one point, that circle they form is the first and only difficulty tier. Basically ALBW. But that doesn't need to be BotW. It could be four lines in four points, branching into two or three more lines in two or three points each for a second tier, and so on. Nonlinear, but still with direction and challenge.
>>342850647
There was the sand sea in Skyward Sword. That looked pretty ancient.

>>342848412
>probably no second screen
I doubt they're going to give up that gimmick entirely, given the NDS and 3DS's success with it. The Wii U was a misstep, but if this is truly a new era, and a new "third pillar" is being born that is not a direct successor to either the Wii U or the 3DS, but rather to both simultaneously (as both portable and console divisions were merged for its development), I'd be willing to bet it's either:
A) A high-power handheld touchscreen controller capable of streaming to TV via HDMI USB, and when taken on the go will simply display both top and bottom screens on its main screen, which will be foldable in the middle.
or
B) A console and a separate portable system with the exact same architecture that can share the exact same game cartridges
>>342858817
Have we needed story justification for amiibo before?

It's going to be "fuck it, here's wolf link". It's just a neat little feature, it doesn't mean anything at all.

>willians
>>342859334
>>342859565I wonder if one of the reasons, deep down, that nobody knew, that he killed himself was that he got a Wii U and Zelda still hadn't come out for it.
>>342859718
I think he just didn't want to be old anymore and focused too much on when he was young and used to have adventures, just like Link.

Possible, we don't know yet. It'd be a very tight window from what we've seen though.
>>342860495
Before BotW no one thought the Master Sword could rust, let alone break apart like it is.
>>342860686
They're remote controlled, you can set them off whenever you want.
>>342860719

I think it was the square bomb.
I was absent long time and now i entered /v/ after a year.
Any screencap regarding Breath of the Wild's /v/ reaction thread?
I want to feel the hype with you guys-
>>342860964
Too many to name, a lot are probably still in the archives somewhere though.
>>342848412
>probably no second screen
I actually really dislike this. A second screen is actually able to benefit so many games, but since the Wii U did so poorly barely any games have actually benefited from it. And that's a huge shame.
And now that entire innovation is being abandoned without ever really having had a chance to do any good yet.
>Odin Sphere was remade in a time where there was a platform that could mitigate the biggest problem of the entire game, and the remake didn't make use of it.
Such a shame. Pausing the game for inventory management takes away so much.
>>342860964
There was too much Zelda on /v/ to even keep track of. It was everywhere. Everywhere.
>>342855938
>very few actual people can touch it, only Zelda/Link if I recall.
I see this said alot but I think it's a bit of an assumption, isn't it? It's said few can "wield" it, meaning few can use it properly. Surely, many have probably held the sword given it was forged and in some games upgraded. It takes someone special or someone who has proven their worth to draw it from the pedestal though, but assuming it was already in use, anyone should be able to return it to said pedestal.
At least, that's how I've always read the situation.
>>342853532
Goddamn you are a moron. When I say Koroks are not Kokiris, I do not mean they are not connected by the story. I mean that Zelda doesn't do an immortal race of fairy children, just like they don't do a race of female-only vaguely Arabic thieves. The games don't reuse either race because they're just slight off-human variants who are only interesting because of story, which wouldn't get reused even if the characters came back. Koroks, Gorons, Zoras, those come back in new games because they're visually interesting designs that can be reused in new settings without losing their appeal. And even then, a bunch of other races don't get reused just because! Gerudos being phased out doesn't mean a controversy, when they aren't as reusable as other races who have also gotten the cut.
>>342860964
Zelda was hands-down the most discussed thing that came out of E3 this year. It was everywhere, and the webms, OC, conspiracy-theory-tier lore threads, and TECHNOLOGY threads were constantly active. Just search through the archive, you'll find something.
>>342861652
Well if I recall it's mentioned that it has a will of it's own and chooses who gets to pick it up and that impure people can't touch the blade, like Ganondorf. Girahim being an exception, but he's basically Fi's counterpart and just a spirit.
I mean so far we've only seen Link touch the blade, barring WW Zelda picking it up. I mean you can count the blacksmiths in ALttP/ALBW if you want, but those upgrades don't carry over so it's likely not canon. Only other option places are FSA and OoA/S, and OoA/S is likely based around the fact that Link just goes and gets the Sword from Hyrule to deal with Ganon in the meantime, and FSA it's not the Master Sword since you stay split.
>>342854517
The Kikwi are an obvious parallel to Kokiri, but I don't think they're supposed to be related.
Isn't the Master Sword the only thing that can actually kill Ganon when he's high on Power?
>>342861204
DS and 3DS did a lot more cool shit with the second screen because you didn't constantly have to look up and down.
Really though Nintendoland was a fucking perfect tech demo for what people could do and basically NOBODY TOUCHED THAT SHIT. NOBODY.

>>342862259
>because you didn't constantly have to look up and down
Yeah it sucks when games for whatever the reason try to divide your attention between the screens.
But there are still lots of games where the second screens complements a lot without you ever having to actually look at the gamepad to any notable extent. Like Shovel Knight for instance.
>>342862419
A lot of games had that sort of thing too.
Shadow of the Colossus had a whole area buried under the game map

I seriously can't comprehend why they keep using it despite the fact that the cel-shaded/toon-like Zelda games just don't sell that well, period.

>>342844015
>Ariana
I wanted to believe so bad. I don't know why everyone believed her shit, especially after purposefully omitting one of the steps.

>>342862828
Menus, maps, inventory management, all sorts of shit that would require you to pause on the main screen can be done on the bottom screen.
Hell, Monster Hunter's got the right idea and gives you a literal customizable bottom screen so you can optimize what options you want at your fingertips instead of having to go through menus or scroll through an item wheel or do some ridiculous button combination, just tap. Hell, the quick combination menu on the bottom screen is exceptionally handy for gunners.
Don't want to bother with the Target Cam? Get rid of that. Got a CPP or a N3DS? Ditch the virtual d-pad. Want to get the map off the top screen to unclutter your field of view in battle, but don't want to go into a menu to constantly enable and disable it just to check your mao? Move it to the bottom screen and you can just tap it to zoom in and out.
>>342862539
>i want zelda to be hyper-realistic
Basically every single zelda game was colourful as fuck, cel-shading it's perfect for the artstyle
>>342863494
>cel-shaded/toon-like Zelda games just don't sell that well, period.
Now you're just baiting.
What the fuck is a non-toon 3d zelda game?
>>342863108
That zelda minigame took the motion controls from Skyward Sword and improved on them even further. The combat was dumber but the motion controls were smoother.
That metroid minigame was cash as fuck. Lots of challenges. Literal hours of content right there even if you were doing it solo.
>>342863601
Yeah, it's pretty obvious that Nintendo is playing lazy with this title thanks to the shitty animations and art direction alone.
Ever since the Wii's success, it's almost as if Nintendo's forgotten that presentation, music, atmosphere and art direction are equally as important for games now - even moreso for open world adventure titles.
>>342863751
>Now you're just baiting.
No, I'm not baiting.
Wind Waker didn't sell that well.
Skyward Sword didn't sell that well.
The DS and 3DS games featuring Toon Link or some cartoonish art style like TFH didn't sell that well.
The only real exception is PH, and that game didn't have any legs.
Meanwhile ALBW had moderate sales. They weren't underwhelming but they weren't great.
All I want is a completion % counter
>>342837749
Give me fucking Lynels and imposing enemies again, not just hordes of mooks, slimes, and bats.
Also bring back more Z1/2 enemies. Patra, horse head, Digdogger and shit.
>>342848070
I want to fuck a sword...
>>342863494
Because Zelda U is fuckhuge.
They just don't have the resources to make a realistic looking world of that scale, and there's little point anyway considering it will look worse than similar stuff on other platforms, eg The Witcher 3.
This kind of artstyle is incredibly efficient and the best choice they could have made.
>>342864078
This is going to be a thing where you post sales charts that sort of show a slight correlation, and then you spend a ton of text trying to interpret it as something you want, isn't it
>>342864078
How does it feel to be factually wrong anon?
WW and SS both sold more than ALBW
>>342864496
No, I'm just saying that the lack of sales speak for themselves; it's not really what the fans want. People are getting tired of the cel-shaded and hybrid toonlike shit,
>>342864445
>they just don't have the resources to make a realistic looking world of that scale
Xenoblade Chronicles X would like a word with you.
BotW isn't as fuckhuge as XCX was and it almost certainly won't be as dense either. It'll be maybe marginally bigger than Skyrim.
>>342839081
Didn't he say players could literally go kill the final boss once awakened? I mean, I suppose they COULD, if they go to a specific areas and dobullshit they wouldn't normally think of, plus solving some puzzles... but you CAN.
Also,
>The reason Link's green tunic hasn't been featured is because it might be the only piece of clothing players want to wear
Who the fuck has such shit taste. The best part about games where you can visibly change your clothing/armor is looking like a drunken pimp in "serious" situations
>>342864702
Oh, so you didn't even look up the sales, you're just assuming that because you don't want it the sales must say the same thing.
>>342864569
WW sold about 3-4 million around the first year of its release. It had underwhelming numbers, for sure. I remember it.
>>342864569
>minish cap
>that sales number
W-w-w-w-whaaaaaat?
WHAT?
FUCKING WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
Jesus fucktits how do people have that bad a taste?
Also is that Link to the Past also counting the GBA game cumulatively?
>>342864737
XCX also has garbage looking faces and some shocking lack of attention to detail such as cars going through humans.
BOTW has an assload of small mechanics and features which are much easier to develop/animate/discard with a more simple artstyle.
Lets discuss Downfall Timeline Midna and why she has a Gerudo Symbol, an upside down 'Sheikah' Symbol, Red Eyes like Sheikah, Shadow Magic like Sheikah, Red Hair like Gerudo/Twili, and Blue Skin like Twili.
>>342864761
The green tunic is obviously going to be late or end-game gear; don't worry about it.
This does make me wonder how they're going to advertise the game in the coming months though. Dumb normies and casuals won't recognize that he's Link in the ads and the box art unless if they put him in the green tunic.
>>342841015
>bravo monsieur
>>342862803
And nothing says "this game looks like crap" two years later like an attempt for photo realistic graphics.
The whole photo realistic artstyle just isn't aesthetically pleasing.
>>342865259
What?
I doubt that, it's not like people are so stupid so as to assume he's a female or something.
>>342863665
>Hell, Monster Hunter's got the right idea and gives you a literal customizable bottom screen so you can optimize what options you want at your fingertips instead of having to go through menus or scroll through an item wheel or do some ridiculous button combination, just tap.

Yeah. I absolutely love it. It's a real shame that the gamepad gets so much flak just because people only look at extremes.
>>342865259
Everybody recognizes Link outside of the green by now. If people don't recognize it's Link by the time "Legend of Zelda" comes up on the screen, they wouldn't have enough attachment to the series for that to matter anyhow.
>>342864992
>garbage looking faces
The eyes are a little droopy, big whoop. Plus it's based off an anime-esque artstyle so it's not too surprising it won't translate too well to 3DS.
>shocking lack of attention to detail
Yeah, no. There was a lot of attention to detail in that game, there's just no point in giving those cars collision detection, and the game wasn't based around physics puzzles.
>BOTW has an assload of small mechanics and features which are much easier to develop/animate/discard with a more simple artstyle.
This is an actual argument I agree with, but ultimately has nothing to do with what I was arguing against. The exact argument was "[nintendo] just don't have the resources to make a realistic looking world of that scale" wherein scale means size, which is just factually incorrect given that they already did it with XCX.
In greater probability, at least a part of the reason Nintendo chose the artstyle because they're artsy farts doofuses that prize aesthetic over realism, and that's something I appreciate about them. The ease of processing other shit going on in said artstyle was probably an equal objective, at best. Like, "How can we balance style AND substance without significantly poor performance?"
>>342865927
>to 3DS
wh...
To 3D. 3D.
>>342865789
Really? Can we be certain? People couldn't even tell if Link was a guy or a girl in the 2014 reveal, what makes you assume that they won't pull something stupid and assume that BoTW Link is actually Link's brother or friend or whatever because he isn't wearing the green getup?
>>342865208

>>342865208
>Veran and Midna will never fuse into a shadow-twin-rova.

Because you're being either hyperbolic or paranoid to justify hatred of an imagined enemy.
>>342866349
>not including art from the manga of her true form
>>342866349
I remember in the good ol' days when artwork of Midna's true form was leaked, and people assumed it was Veran. Or that Zant was Onyx.
Good times.
>>342866349
Actually I can update that.
>>342866409
He means the Downfall Timeline where Veran appears.
>>342866457
Sadness I know.
>>342866645
Mangos aren't canon, so I just stuck with actual in-game evidence.
>>342866671
I remember the Midna/Veran stuff, but not the Zant/Onyx stuff.
>>342866854
You can also find the Sheikah symbol on the back of the Fused Shadow, FYI.
It's pretty obvious that the Twili were the Sheikah, or at least some sort of rogue faction that broke off.
>>342866854

>>342864952
I feel ya anon, making the green cap a talking character was cool as shit.
Also here's some numbers with some subdivision by platform
http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda
>>342867180
I always thought of Midna's eye thing being Majora's eye.
>>342867381
Veran, a witch fairy from Oracle of Ages. She looks similar to Midna in design, so people think she's the same person.
>>342867565
Clearly Majora was a Sheikah too.
>>342867565
Obviously they're all connected.
>>342867381
Veran, Oracle of Ages. Fun as fuck game, you should try it if you never have.
>>342867180
Yep, they also have a few other eye like symbols around. Zant's swords have it at the end of the hilt and behind the throne is a stylized eye as well. On top of their general stuff look very similar to the way it looks like in BotW and the Twilight Realm has automatic doors and some types of technology, Gohdan in the Tower of Gods also has similar design structure as well.
>>342867281
>yfw Agahnim was Zant in the Downfall Timeline (Ganon's Counterpart) with Veran being Midna's
>Agahnim was able to easily infiltrate Hyrule Castle due to being a Sheikah
Honestly outside of Impa's direct lineage and the Sheikhs in BotW, Sheikah seem straight up evil.
What are you guys hoping for from the next inevitable handheld Zelda that'll be released after BotW?
>>342866645
What what
>>342867565
It is. Majora didn't come from Termina. The Happy Mask Salesman already had it while he was in the Lost Woods, so it's clearly from Hyrule and came from a Dark Tribe that used it in rituals, likely the Interlopers/Twili faction of the Sheikah, might be why they were banished to the Twilight Realm in the first place.
>>342867678
They're quite clearly connected in some way, not the same person, but Veran is clearly a Twili, it's pretty obvious.
>>342866645
>manga
>canon
I'll bet you think it's canon that Link found and raised Volvagia too.
>>342867834
Only because you took a bunch of unrelated stuff and pretended the game intended them to be Impa's cousins.
>>342867782
Or the Mask was created by them
This is interesting but they were probably just playing around with Ganon's design visually relating to the Twili, he can kind of be connected to Majora though with his face and pendant in Ikana
>>342867316
>yfw you realize Hero's Shade is or could be Zelda's equivalent to Skull Knight
I kind of want this to happen.
>>342867505
I thought Ezlo was a charm point and a pretty decent companion character overall, but I really liked the game's shrinking and duplication gimmicks, world design, art style, music, tool selection, dungeon puzzles, bosses, and all that shit. Like I know it was pretty linear by Zelda standards, but even then it still had a surprisingly wide selection of optional stuff to do an exploration to uncover despite that.
Also Kinstones never really bothered me much, so I guess that helps my perception of the game.
I especially loved Castor Wilds. I feel like not enough games do a proper swamp or wild overgrowth section, and that whole area felt ancient and ruined in the most... comfortable ways. Dat music also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSUzdeFAid0>yfw you hit a whole room full of diggable soft walls
>>342867180
>or at least some sort of rogue faction
They were most likely just regular Sheikah. Banished by the royal family for whatever the reason. like out of fear or whatever.
>>342864952
I thought the same...
>>342868143
A bunch of unrelated stuff? They both literally have the Sheikah Symbol dealing with them, they both have blue tone skin and red hair, they both use Shadow Magic (the same as the Sheikah), they both have red eyes, same as the Sheikah, the only thing they don't have that the Sheikah do is white hair, and either they're an off-shoot or they intermingled with Gerudo at some point hence the red hair.
I mean I don't know how much more obvious you can get, you act like Aonuma and crew don't put in obvious references to other games and that Zelda doesn't have lore in some places quite heavily. The Interlopers/Twili are clearly connected to the Sheikah in some way, shape, or form and Midna and Veran are clearly related to each other (maybe not by blood) in some way, shape, or form. It's stupidly obvious.
>>342868587
Well with the Shadow Temple shenanigans, I wouldn't doubt it.
>open world zelda
>my autism will have me do forest, fire, water, desert temples in that order regardless of my options
I'm ok with linear games anyways
>>342869253
Where you ice electric wood time and metal temples at?
>>342868534
>that boss where you have to shrink, go inside the boss and dig a fuckton to get to the weak spots
That actually took quite a while for me, the timing was pretty strict
>>342868587
Or maybe they were banished because they were involved in doing some really shifty and horrifying shit, TP's backstory alone is proof that they had a reason to be feared.
What I want to know is why or how they became so technologically advanced and separated from the other races of Hyrule. It almost seems like they were the real race chosen by the gods until they started fucking up by doing some evil shit. It makes me wonder if they were ever really native to Hyrule at all.
>>342869676
I read a theory a few days ago, don't remember where, but it was pretty sound about them being descendants of the Goddesses.
>>342869502
Man the Capcom zeldas were cash. Why don't they do them anymore?
>>342869676

Monhun's alright.
>>342870102
Rip.
>>342870106
Indeed it is.
>>342869676
I think their technology in TP and SS implies that Zelda takes place in a world that was once incredibly technologically advanced, so far back we'll never even see it in a game outside of time travel maybe, which was something they intended to do with ALttP
And since then the world has gone back to nature and civilization started over at some point
They might've not been called Sheikah way back then but always used an eye of truth as their symbol
>>342869676
>Or maybe they were banished because they were involved in doing some really shifty and horrifying shit, TP's backstory alone is proof that they had a reason to be feared.
I really don't think it was anything too explicit. I deem it far more likely that the royal family simply came to the conclusion that the Sheikah had just grown too powerful to be trusted. Housing too many secrets and powerful knowledge.
From the accounts of Midna the Twili in general honestly don't sound too bad. And she even worked with Zelda who banished them in the first place out of her own sense of justice, and what she considered to be the fair thing for her own people. In spite of it technically not benefiting her/them. What Zant was technically in the favor of the Twili, and the Twili were finally reclaiming the world that they were banished from, reclaiming what they had lost. So for Midna to stand up against that in spite of that makes her rather credible to me. And if she still considered her kingdom and people to be good people at large then I believe that to have been the case.
The Twili having been wrongfully banished also goes hand in hand with Zant's unnatural anger and frustration, and serves as a believable source for the rebelling Twili's anger.
The Twili actually having been up to some evil or otherwise unlawful acts and simply being banished as a result really cheapens the whole deal with the Twili.

It's likely war and geographical changes have caused it. Lanayru Desert losing it's water for instant or the Unification War before OoT as well. Now we just have Ganon fucking shit up constantly.
SS takes place shortly after the creation of the world. There isn't any "time" for the world Hyrule is on to ever have been "highly technologically advanced", all this "technology" is obviously technology+magic anyways. And probably just experimental stuff done small-scale by the Sheikah.

The spirits literally spell out to you that the Twili's ancestors created a war that would've nearly wiped out Hyrule with their magic if they hadn't intervened.
They created the Fused Shadow and likely Majora's Mask as well since they both share so many similarities in terms of design and function.
They were pretty fucking bad.
>>342870942
>after the creation of the world
I don't really trust a bunch of primitive Hylians to know when the world was created. It's far more likely that Hyrule and the plane of existence it sits upon has been around for much, much longer and the Hylians are just assuming that due to lost history and records. Lanayru Sand Sea is proof of this.
>>342870942
It's actually quite awhile after. There was enough time in between the two for Demise and the Demons to rise from the Earth and wage war with Hyrule and for a Hero to stop and imprison him with Hylia and for Skyloft and the Hylians to be sent into the sky.
Demise is likely the cause of technologies descent and Hyrule's rebuilding. It seems every time Hyrule is close to being near that technological jump again that Ganon(dorf) attacks too.
Or in some cases they view technology as bad due to the Sheikah/Interlopers and the war they waged.
>>342871467
But in that book Hyrule History or whatever, it states that the creation of the world occured a few centuries at most before the time in which SS takes place.
>>342871069
Reminder Fi is for lewd
Those legs were made for rough fucking
>>342871806
Then the sea dissipated in that time and Demise caused the technological kingdom's ruin.
>>342871887
You should be harmed.
>>342871887
Not lewd, those arms (guard) were made for locking and covering herself and her power.
>>342871806
200 years is enough with technomagic to do all the sheikah stuff
Also timeshift stones exist naturally already

Ok but what I'm saying is that there wasn't a "highly technologically advanced civilization before the hylians" or anything like that.

Yeah I don't believe that in the slightest.
Nintendo will retcon it when the time comes, I'm sure.
>>342872372
Please.

Have you never had fun experimenting?

You know it'd just be casualized to hell and back, right?

I bet you think Skyrim is a good game too.

You can't lift up things you're standing on. But Trinen said you can lay 2 pieces of metal crosswise over each other and lift up the bottom one to levitate yourself. You can also knock yourself around.
>>342871806
Oh there is plenty of time anon...plenty of time.
>>342870942
I mean, you've seen the Lanayru Mining Facility right? That place is fucking ANCIENT when you get there, supposedly "shortly after the creation of the world."
It's just the earliest game in the series, that does not mean it can't still be hundreds of thousands if not millions of years after the world was born.

Then who left behind the highly technologically advanced ruins in Skyward Sword? I don't think it was the Sheikahs, that guy's just reaching for fanfiction, but Skyward Sword clearly had something that lived in Hyrule before the Hylians.
>>342873310
see

I mean you're free to believe what you want of course, but that's a Sheikah eye baby

I don't get it why would ganon need to be revived if the hero was defeated?

>land-locked to different regions
this is based on nothing, bill showed us everything around the plateau and there aren't barriers. The regions are just arbitrary divisions of the map, it's not like ALBW at all. Off the top of my head I specifically remember there being no barriers between regions 1 and 2 or 3 and 4, and at the very least you can cross the bridge to go between 2 and 3.
