BotW Link Was A Dumbass

Link inherited the Master Sword from his dad but not his shield. He also died from fatigue, not a Guardian

>>376485691
The master sword chose Link, there's no indication of how he got it other than that

>>376485445
Why does link literally protect a tease? Why even bother.

>>376485773
One of the memories had Zelda explain Link's constant training was from trying to keep up with his dad who was part of the Royal Guard

But she probably jumped his cock right there in Hyrule field

>>376485884
You're an idiot, that doesn't mean he got the master sword from his father that just means he trained a shit ton

>due to arrogance
That's your head canon OP. I didn't get any sense of arrogance from Link due to him being a blank slate mute that is designed to be me self inserting into the story.

It seemed by the cutscenes that Link was literally fighting the guardians literally all by himself one after the other being more or less the last line of defense for Fort Hateno.

>Needing a shield

Link lost because the champions were ambushed, and because he was more concerned with protecting Zelda than defeating Ganon. She was a liability up until that point.

>>376486176
Link couldn't defeat Ganon without Zelda

In a lot of the flashbacks, he wields the sword with two hands. Maybe it was too heavy for him at the time?

Still don't know how he fucked up all those Lynels

He didn't even defeat Ganon's first form

Every single thing would have gone better if they just all fucked off and left it all to Link. That goes for Champions too.

Not a single Champion can deal with even one of Ganon's blights, and they all try to go solo against that shit and die individually while losing the Divine Beasts, and Link is left with the least helpful task of escort mission.

Even though Link is capable enough he could kill every single Blight in a row and then Calamity Ganon all in one encounter, without even using the Master Sword, just typical shit found in the castle.

>>376486920
At least Urbosa sort of had an excuse since Thunderblight can wreck shit but people like Daruk (who had an invincible shield) and Revali were jokes.

This isn't relevant to the thread but I'm not going to share this anywhere else. I am conditioned to max out my wallet before I drop any Zelda game as part of 100%ing. I am still on the road to truly 100%ing the game, but after many hours I've finally done it. I decided to gather the rupees entirely legitimately and without using the snowball mini game or Talus farming. Much of it came from selling star fragments and lynel guts.

Well thank you, anon. Next on my agenda is to gather every single treasure chest in the game, which I've mostly neglected due to having to get rid of my own weapons to unlock them all.

I don't know about fatigue, but this is the most hours I've put into any game. Much of it has gone into gathering the Korok seeds myself.

>>376490089
what

Self inserting needs to die. The definition of a self-insert is the writer writing himself into the story.

A character should be relatable, yes, definitely. Height or gender don't do that, and muteness definitely doesn't. That's the case with Hello Kitty, she doesn't have a mouth so that 3-year olds can imagine her happy or sad or whatever emotion they'd like.

Am I supposed to relate to Link just because he never reacts to anything? That isn't going to fucking do it. The only thing I can perceive from him is that he's probably intellectually handicapped in some manner, or that he's a psychopath. I don't feel empathy, I feel uncomfortable and weirded out when I see him standing there like a bad actor.

>>376485445
Nintendo missed an opportunity to make Zelda a playable character with her own storyline. Like she's wearing an adventurer's garb and she doesn't do jack shit with it.

>>376490449
Probably sold them all

>>376490449
After getting the Master Sword, I sold all of the heart containers to the statue in Hateno because I prefer to keep a sense of danger. Speaking of the Master Sword, the 13 heart requirement was quite clever of a reference: wielding the magical sword in LoZ requires 12 hearts, and the sword requires you to be one heart stronger than you were 100 years ago.

>>376491246
I'm an engineer and English is my fourth language.

>You infer your reactions onto him.
This is exactly my complaint. We don't need Hello Kitty, we need a character who is relatable. A blank slate isn't relatable. You don't need a dialog wheel to relate to a character, either. Just write a fucking good character instead.

This shit is like designing the protagonist as a stick figure so that you can infer your hair color and body shape onto him. It's laughably terrible design and has absolutely no place in the modern video game industry.

>>376491373

It's so people playing can say "I did this" instead of "He did this". That's pretty timeless. You're focusing on the story of the game and then completely missing the point of why Ninty writes him this way.

>>376491765
I don't feel like I saved Hyrule. I don't even want to save Hyrule, the home region of some autistic gnomes that I feel absolutely nothing for due to how badly they're written. Why would I care about saving Hyrule? I don't live in Hyrule. No favourite character of mine resides there, I'm not invested in any manner.

What I did was cook some stew and fight some goblins. I feel like I did that because I actually controlled the character to do it instead of watching him do it in some badly acted and terribly written cutscene. I also fought some pig demon, I guess, and they showed me a short film afterwards. It wasn't that memorable, but I guess it showed the handicapped elf saving the day and going home with the princess or something.

Nice head cannon fag. His shield constantly breaks in combat and is always on the lookout for a new shield. Unfortunately, unlike 100 years in the future, shields weren't lying everywhere and he had to accompany the princess on her long journeys.

All the shields he attained were random mob encounters in which case the shield also broke in the battle, so he discarded it and always appears to never have a shield in the cutscenes.

Idiots.

The point of the scene is that Zelda had grievances about not living up to her legacy. She proposed a scenario of how would Link be able to live with himself if he were a failure of a knight trying but failing to fulfill his own legacy.

She wanted him to see things from her perspective.

Isn't Urbosa immune to lightning and given she's described as moving like a dancer I assume she's fairly nimble. So she's immune to his most powerful attack, has an AoE attack of her own (although he may be immune to that), has a good sshield to parry attacks and a decent sword to deal damage.

Wichever way you slice it she lost just as badly as the others and her excuse of him just being too fast doesn't excuse her because the youngest knight in Hyrule should not be so much faster than the best Gerudo can offer that he can counter someone who blitzed her

Link has ALWAYS been a hothead that jumps head first into danger. If it weren't for the old man in LoZ and Mido in OoT, he was more than ready to venture forth into Hyrule not only without a shield, but without a sword either. In Wind Waker, Link LITERALLY jumps to his death trying to catch Aryll and Tetra has to hold him back.

Congrats, you played BotW on Easy mode. Having only 3 hearts in this game is actually easier than having a bunch because as long as you keep all 3 full, you can't die in one hit (with some exceptions). Get hit? Eat a quick bite and you're back to being 2 hits away from death (and having sword beams too).

It's almost like how rings work in Sonic games. In comparison, keeping a bunch of hearts full to get that same protection from 1-hit kills (and sword beams) will cost you a lot of food.

If you want a challenging 3-heart run, you'd have to only allow yourself a set amount of healing items, or not allow yourself to heal when enemies are present.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

>>376507813

At least he seems to be having fun.

>>376507813
There are plenty of things that can one-shot you even at full health; only some attacks will leave you with a quarter heart left, and that quarter heart can be easily done away with if you ragdoll even a bit away from the hit. Get yourself down to three hearts and try fighting things in the world.

You're also assuming that he eats every time he gets hit, and/or that he was attempting to go for a challenge run.

If we're going to be serious about things, having the full 27 or 30 hearts is significantly easier as you can tank hits all day and return to your house to sleep whenever you get low, essentially forgoing the need for any food consumption whatsoever. Food is also easy to come by in the end; going hunting occasionally in Hebra is enough to stock you up with three pages worth of 15+ or full heal foods.

Sword beams are a waste of time and scarcely do any damage.
