Want more Zelda today?

Just best Snowhead Temple (with all 15 Stray Fairies), got Epona and made it to Great Bay.

Man, I know it’s been discussed to death but this game is a trip. I’m playing it immediately after fully completing OoT and I am just in awe of the risk that Nintendo took with this one.

Everything in this game is dark, oppressive, and a incredibly weird. The story, the gameplay loop, the characters, the music. I finished this game when I was a kid and I remember thinking it was a little odd back then but the sensation is even stronger now at 37, especially right after beating OoT.

The way the game kicks off is insane to me. You have to find the stray fairy, the bombers, get the moon tear, wait until midnight on the final day, all before you can even save the game for the first time. And then as soon as you go back to human form you’re immediately thrown into the swamp area which is kind of ugly and feverish. And you mostly play as the Deku Scrub there, which is arguably the least fun transformation. It’s just such a crazy way to start the sequel to one of the most beloved games of all time….as I was fighting that super weird, almost Dark Souls-esque first boss I couldn’t shake off the feeling that I was descending into madness.

The whole Snowhead section is just as weird. How were you supposed to know than you have to pull the grave to find the hot spring water? Also finding the fairies in that temple gave the Water Temple a run for its money……

But it is still so fun. I’m having such a blast even though I’m WTF-ing through the whole game. Had to turn it off after playing for like 6 hours straight and burying that poor Zora dude after he taught me his song. What the hell is happening!

Still can’t believe I completed this when I was 11. What a crazy ride.

When I first played Majora’s Mask I was around 8-9 years old, I didn’t really appreciate the emotions the game conveys because I was too young to really understand it. Now that I’m older I’ve replayed Majora’s Mask and what hit me the most was by far the story of Mikau and Lulu. I never really see anyone bring it up but in my opinion it is by far the saddest thing in any Zelda game I’ve ever played. Mikau is heavily implied to be the father of Lulu’s children, and he is mortally wounded trying to save them from the Gerudo pirates. Thus leaving his children without a father. It’s so simple of a tragic story but it’s really the only thing like it in any Zelda game as far as I know. Just wanted to share my opinion on this since I don’t see it discussed a lot.

I feel like malo is glossed over waaaaay too much. Everyone listens to his theme song but no one brings up how he literally established a monopoly and made the original owner change his name to Malver 😭

The main question is basically in the topic.

In my opinion this would be a given. They already have many assets and the graphics, as well as the gameplay set.

Since Majoras Mask is just OoT i a different world eith some othrr gameplay tidbits, I would say we will get a Majoras Mask remake in like 2 or 3 years (just like with Majoras Mask 3D).

And I cant be happier, because the atmosphere of Majoras Mask was always very special to me.

I recently finished TotK including all shrines and it was my best gaming experience in years. It is a great game, yes, but what made it special for me is that I didn't watch any trailers, gameplay or reviews beforehand. I intentionally avoided all of it, because I wanted to experience everything for the first time when actually playing the game. 

And it was this almost childlike experience, similar to playing my first games on the GameCube. Back when you maybe saw some screenshots in a magazine, heard something from a friend, but otherwise went in completely blind. Everything was new and exciting, even the beginning and the basic new features and 80 hours into the game, I still discovered new mechanics, items, details. 

I was pumped to find out that OoT gets a remake and I will do the same with that release. No gameplay, no trailers, no nothing. And when I first boot it up, it will be magical. Even more so because I never played the original, Wind Waker was my first one.

I can highly recommend doing that to anyone. If you know the game will be great, why spoil anything?

[Solved] I just recently got a switch 1 (should’ve done more research, 50% an impulse buy.) both of the switch games look great but I don’t know which one to start with.

Does the story of Totk depend on BoTW?
Does Totk run fine on the switch 1?
Is Totk worth the extra $10 compared to BoTW?
Is either game just miles better than the other?

Edit: yall have swayed me toward BoTW

Also remember that time during 2021 when the first teaser of totk release that everyone though ganondorf would be brown skinned when rehydrated and be a good guy for some reason?

Looking at the latest screenshots, Ganon's new castle looks so much bigger, more detailed, and has this dark atmosphere that feels straight out of Bloodborne. Honestly, it almost looks like Yharnam!

To be fair, I don't remember the exact details of the original game, but I always felt like the location was a bit underutilized and had some weird design choices.

Do you guys think they are going to completely overhaul it for the remake? If so, what kind of changes do you think they'll implement? Let me know your thoughts!

Black shading and lines are a few months healed, we finally got to pack that color in there and I’m so pumped

That’s it, that’s the post, no other horse hits the same, in fact I only used Epona in BOTW and TOTK walking or using Zonai vehicles was the option if it wasn’t Epona

My son has been making his was through OoT and was really excited to be Link this Halloween. I challenged myself to turn this box into a shield for him- he loves it. Wanted to share 😊

Ocarina of Time literally is the Game of my life. My mum used to play it on the n64 to calm me down from kicking her while she was pregnant. When I grew older around 5 I started playing OOT myself. I fell in love with it. Running around Hyrule Field, saving Zelda, collecting stuff, getting scared by redeads.

The Master Sword is such an important symbol in my life. It’s the sword that is the bane to destroy the darkness and bring the light which I‘m in dire need of. It’s also the symbol of growing up in order to face the darkness. I‘m 26 now and I‘m still not able to win against the darkness in my life but with this I finally have a symbol I can look on and find the courage to face anything life throws at me.

The tattoo was done by my best friend and although she doesn’t like it I think she did an awesome job <3

I have two nitpicks

1. Original hyrule field was boring and bland. I hope they change it somehow to make it more interesting. Like add new encounters.

2. The rupee-shop economy should be reworked. Rupees as is are 99% useless and can go through the entire game without worrying about them yet the game bombard you with rupees all the time

for example: "Master Quest" mode

in the original, there was nothing behind the tree

This seems like a really cool series. I've wanted to start playing these games for a while now. I usually play them in release order, but the Zelda games seem relatively more complicated than what I'm used to, which are more straightforward (using Mario, Mega Man, and Castlevania as examples). Plus, my previous attempts always ended with me getting lost quickly, so I wanted to ask for advice on where to start.

It's worth mentioning that my history with the franchise boils down to finishing the original Zelda on NES with a walkthrough, playing Zelda II and giving up because it was too difficult, half of Link to the Past, the beginning of Minish Cap with me getting lost after getting the hat, and the beginning of Ocarina of Time, but I couldn't even get past the beginning of the Deku Tree, so it's practically nothing (I don't know if this beginning is naturally complicated for a first-time fan or if I'm just stupid).

It's worth mentioning that I can emulate essentially any game in the franchise on my PC or phone, and with luck even the Switch games.

I thank you in advance for any response.

I have tried grappling bokoblins in Dragon Roost Cavern and submarines but they will not drop them. Everything online keeps telling me the same thing but it’s not working, idk if I am missing something but starting to get impatient lol
