Well, there was the stained glass window in the Master Sword chamber. Other that that, I don't recall any. I mean, Gohdan possibly counts now.

It's a little hard to tell, but I'm pretty sure HW Impa is probably in her early-mid thirties. The white hair is stress from being captain of the guard, Zelda's personal bodyguard, and leading troops. This Impa apparently never goddamned sleeps.

>>147240256
Well, we've got the mummy priests, but they're not really characters as such.

Confession time: I've never beat OoT or MM.
am I a piece of shit?

>>147241193
Yes. Get out of our general

>>147241193
Nah, same here. But I'm sure out there you can find people that played OoT and MM but never completed LoZ 1 and 2, unlike me.
So who gives a fuck. Enjoy Zelda. This gen is also great to pick up games in the series you missed.

>>147241117

I thought Impa was naturally albino.

Damn there's one on sale for $170 new, I would've gotten it.

>>147241816
Yes and no.
You have to softmod the Wii mode in the Wii U to play GC games on it.
It's easy and not dangerous, as Nintendo stopped uodating the Wii OS. Just install DiosMios and you're done, you have a Wii U that plays GC games.

>>147242076
Does that void your warranty by downloading that, And can you plug gamecube controllers into your wii u? Or does the wii u controller work with gamecube games?

>>147242350
>Does that void your warranty by downloading that,
It's a softmod of only the Wii part of the console, so no.
>And can you plug gamecube controllers into your wii u?
You can but you need a GC adapter.
>Or does the wii u controller work with gamecube games?
It does. But some specific games could need GC controller's analog triggers.

No worries. The Wii U is worth getting for its backwards compatibility potential. It plays Wii U, Wii, GC, N64, SNES, NES games and all handhelds's games up to the DS.
Maybe the NX will do it too. But it will cost more than a Wii U and it will take longer to be hacked.

I'm playing ALBW for a third time and it's still just so great. The openendedness of Lorule is really satisfying.

Just a reminder that BotW is going to be a game about timeline collision and will force the series back into a singular timeline to allow for maximum experimentation in setting and execution as the series modernises and moves forward.

>>147246791
How do you figure? Forcing it into one timeline seems more restrictive if anything, since they'll have to retain a higher level of consistency.

>>147246791
>to allow for maximum experimentation in setting
Actually, three timelines allow for more experimentations. Just look at how different are WW and TP.

>>147246791
no

>>147246791
A lot of timelines that don't even matter is better. They can just come up with any sort of crazy story and lazily shove it up somewhere after

GUYS. GUYS, with the voice acting saying Link, this means I cannot use a custom name for him, right?

Shit

That's not true, right?

Not after they stopped him being a lefty for no good reason...

>>147249684
It would be a crime if Link can't take photos and selfies with that slate.

>>147249693
People caring about which hand link uses are just as stupid as those that care about Link's gender.

Who gives a fuck, just play the damn game.

>>147249805
I'm left handed. No characters are left handed. It was cool that one guy was, and now he isn't, and for no real reason.

They could just have a fucking option.

>>147249805
But Nintendo is lazy. They should make at least one game with Link being a woman. There's no reason not to.

>>147249949
Like a gender option? Fuck off, mate. This is trivial stuff to complain about. You are the living confirmation lefties are terrible people.

>>147250152
>lol modelling gender is exactly the same as flipping a model
Jesus Christ.

>>147249949

There was a reason. The majority of people are Right-Handed. And it was a change due to the most recent console games having Link being left-handed. I know it sucks, i didn't even cared what hand he used.

>>147249949
You say there's no real readon for him to be right handed but there's also no real reason for him to be left handed.

>>147250236
recent console games having Link being left-handed*

>>147250236
It was changed due to motion controls (by shittily mirroring the whole world at first -- no options there, either, 'cause that would make sense). But now they don't use motion controls.
>>147250272
Yes. And?

Nintendo has asked you to build a new Color Dungeon. However this time to incorporate proper color mechanics.(Colorblind friends don't worry it'll have colorblind modes).

The trick however is it can't be something as simple as the LA DX Color Dungeon or just simply painting stuff the right color or matching up colors or what have you, it has to be an entirely unique experience.

What do you create?

>>147250342
Even with motion controls they could have made an option. The Wiimote+nunchuk don't depend on positioning, it's the same layout on both hands.

It's a shit reason, but that IS the reason. They just chose to stick with it.

>>147250272
>Yes. And?

Why are you complaining about it when it doesn't matter?

>>147250376
Use an item that raises the ground, like the rod in ALBW, to create slopes. Coloured inks must run down the hills in order to mix, thus creating the requisite colour to set of a Shiekah Colour Authenticater, or some nonsense like that.

>>147250449
Yes.

My point isn't "how dare they not stick with it". It's "this sucks for me and my immersion that they did not stick with it".

>>147249949

Also reposting my dungeon idea with the added Boss idea from that kind anon:
>Dungeon name
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.

I haven't played Zelda in a long time, I only really played oracle of seasons and oot and majora's mask in the collector's edition for the gc.

Breath of the wild actually has me hyped and I might buy an NX just for it. It looks like a cross between the zelda of my childhood and some of the gritty refinements and additions on the formula other series like dark souls have added over time.

>>147250376
Each item has a different function in the dungeon, fire rod/fire arrow for instance would be red and ice rod/arrow would be blue, Deku Leaf green, etc.

Each color having a different property, and the items used to make those properties happen. Such as say green would cause grass to grow, or blue would raise the water level or fill fountains or certain pots on scales and such.

And the puzzles would be based around shooting the color from your items to change the environment of the room, each room has a variant, like the bland first room can be made green, blue, red, etc. and each room's puzzles is dependent on the color you use, with certain enemies and the Boss require strategic placement and room/environment changes.

>Items Obtained
Shock Rod/Shock Arrow (doesn't matter, they'd function the same really)
>Types of Puzzles
A mixture of electrical puzzles to power on generators and the machines within the facility. And the ability to push large spires/towers around using clockwork gears in order to have lightning strike them in order to power up the more large machines and rooms.

Ancient Robot + Holograms. The Ancient Robot will spawn Holograms similar to Zant's in the Twilight Palace. The boss must have individually powered circuits overloaded using the Shock Rod/Arrow, which causes him to spawn more distorted holograms as time goes on and bits of him to fall off as they begin to cease working. His main attacks being lasers and Gohdan's electric blasts and the holograms themselves, which could be of various enemies or himself for double-triple lasers and blasts.

I think it could work well.

>Shock Arrow
I had an idead 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 fucking thunderbolt would strike it. For puzzle you could have some targets that can't be shoot directly with Shock arrow and only from above, which you have no line-of-sight to. This is solved with the lightning strike special.

>>147254134
I don't think a meteor would make a perfectly circular hole. But that is just me thinking realistically.

BotW got me on a hype train so I just wanted to play through all of them that I could, and I know the Camera is optional, and unfortunately while taking screenshots it didn't even cross my mind that I'd be missing out on so many potential good screenshots.

Just a dumb oversight on my part.
>>147254242
Well I was mostly thinking of a Fire/Ice Rod equivalent, and Shock came to mind, I wish they were called Flame/Freeze Rods respectively personally. But that's just me, glad you like the idea though.

That would definitely be a unique way to use an arrow honestly, but how it would work if say there were other metal materials in the arrow or would it just be pre-programmed for the sword only?

>>147241193
No, but you're missing out. Especially when it comes to MM.

>>147246791
While I don't think that's the case (split timelines allow for more experimentation imo,) I still believe that this could involve a timeline convergence due to the simple fact that we've been seeing so many remakes within the last 6 years.

Having direct connections to games like OoT, WW, TP and the like would encourage younger players to buy the recent remakes and HD versions of those games.

>>147255146
Not him, but does a game really need 10 reasons in which to be liked or disliked? As long as there is one feature that makes you like a game I think that is personally enough.

For me personally, MM is a great game, not my favorite Zelda, but it's a great game like all Zellda games (CD-i need not apply).

I love the sense of wonderment and characterization through sidequests, I loved the world itself despite it's size and general lack of dungeons, they were quality dungeons (Great Bay a little less so).

I loved seeing this new world that was unique and a little quirky if you will. It was full off odd colors in places and just an overall sense of great aesthetic.

But that is just me, just felt like throwing my two cents in.

What are the circumstances for the Triforce to grant wishes or for it to split into three pieces?

>>147254943
Well I've always Preferred elemental arrows over rods but that's just my opinion
It's always been Rods for 2D and Arrows for 3D hasn't it?

For the sword. Remember the Demise fight? Like that except it'd never strike the sword only what you swing it at. Maybe have the sword wreathed in lightning as a visual indicator.

>>147255407
Touching it complete grants wishes.
Touching it and not having an equal balance of power, wisdom, and courage splits it.

>>147255146
It's worth a shot. Assuming the anon is younger, there's a stronger chance he'll gravitate towards MM though. I've noticed that most younger gamers who weren't around to play either of the N64 Zeldas while they were still relevant tend prefer MM over OoT now.

>>147255536
That's been mostly true yeah. It's started to become less in recent years with 2D games becoming 2.5/3D as well (but handheld I get your point), and BotW throws that out the window now having the fire rod.

Ok yeah, Demise' sword programming could work pretty well in fact.

>>147255567
How did Ganon used it before ALttp when he turned the Sacred Realm into the Dark World if he didn't have an equal balance?

>>147255361
I was just trolling.

MM, imo, is one of the best games i have ever played. And like you, it is also not my favorite it is WW.

Apart from the obvious "not liking the atmosphere, too dark or something" people complain about the time limit.

I take that most people who complain about the time mechanic get anxious from just its presence there. It is understandable to a certain degree, clocks have been notoriously bad implemented in games, often just to punish the player. But in MM it fits amazingly well into the gameplay.

>>147255643
I'm going on 25 and I prefer MM to OoT. Mostly because I've played OoT to absolute death, but I appreciate the side-quests of MM and the characterization. I appreciated it quite heavily in WW too and the few instances of TP that had it, same as SS. I like that characters actually feel like characters instead of sort of bland set pieces. OoT feels like that to me outside of a few characters and maybe 1-2 lines from random characters you only ever see 1-2 times total.

Is Link's Awakening DX the best Zelda remake? The photo album is the cutest shit in the whole series.
>>147255146
Not that guy, but it has the most fleshed out town and NPCs, great atmosphere, best sidequests, best antagonist, the variety of ways the masks let you interact with the environment is super fun, goron mask is the best mode of transportation in any of the games, it's innovative in a series that tends to rehash itself a lot, tatl was a good companion, the transition between the moon destroying everything to the serene tranquility when you're transported inside the moon is one of the most memorable moments in the games for me, and the ending was super satisfying. Easily my favorite.

>>147255795
Presumably he took it from Link and Zelda when he defeated them in OoT, like how he does in WW. It initially split in OoT due to Ganondorf, but it can be brought back together and after that, it doesn't matter anymore, the failsafe (splitting) has been fixed.
>>147255797
Ah my bad, it's hard to tell sometimes with 4chan whats trolling and whats not anymore.

Agreed, WW is also my favorite game personally, in my top 3 of all time games actually. I don't disagree, the day system can get a bit annoying. I can't tell you how many times I've slowed it down to try to do as much as possible and still come up short by just a bit sadly. But I think it works well too, the further you progress the easier it is to do everything in a day.

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

>Dark arrow

>>147256127
Why did it look like it split when Daphnes used it in WW then? Where did each piece go to?

>>147256418
You could just re-introduce water freezing for Ice Arrows like in MM, and potentially that it to the next level and have it freeze anything, such as trees, the floor, etc. That way it could help getting blocks and stuff around faster by sliding them on ice.

Light Arrows could have a reflecting property when shot off certain services.

Overall though, I like it. Arrows need to actually be what they are, which I liked in MM with them freezing, and I'm glad BotW that Fire Arrows actually burn things.

>>147256690
but i don't prefer MM anon

>>147256701
Water freezing in this game is done with the Cryonis rune now, though.

>>147256580
If you pull the map back during the Ganondorf fight, the Triforce Pieces are overhead causing the flooding themselves. They likely split to speed the process up.

I really enjoy Wind Waker, but the lack of any underwater stuff, as well as very little naval combat hurts it a lot. There's a lot of stuff that should be in this game, but isn't. Like Zoras.
>world is flooded
>the fish people turn into birds
>HUURRRRRR

Also, you should be able to upgrade your boat. Like after the Temple of the Gods, you should get to control Tetra's ship. And Tetra should go with you, because her staying at the castle is bullshit.

I hope they try this type of game again, but with more substance to it.

It's baffling that to this day people still can't grasp why Zoras evolved into Ritos.

>>147256946
The Gods forced evolution so that they wouldn't be able to explore Hyrule again. Only Lord Jabun and the map fish get that privilege, and the map fish doesn't seem to be able to dive down far enough.

Hmm, interesting thing. You got me stumped other than freezing trees and certain things.

Maybe it could work on the slow down, like that gameplay where Link smashes the boulder and sends it into the distance, maybe if you shoot it with an ice arrow, it 'freezes the timer' so you can hop on it and go places.

Who knows though.

>>147257108
>>147257129
The existence of submarines renders that completely pointless. The Goddesses are stupid bitches for thinking that would work. And guess what? It didn't. Ganon came back despite the fucktons of water they dropped on him.

It's nothing more than a weak excuse for lazy design.

>>147257139
No, and it's never actually stated anywhere that they can't go in either salt or fresh.

>>147257423
Rito is the explanation anon

>>147257423
A submarine can only go down so far in the ocean before water pressure begins to crumble it. Just because submarines exist doesn't mean they can get all the way down to Hyrule. While likely they can because they're treasure hunters, we don't know for sure.

Besides the Goddesses/Gods do as they please. They're not entirely benevolent. The people wanted them to get rid of Ganon, and so they did. They got rid of him for that generation. They can't help they have no power over Demise returning time and time again. It's likely that Demons existed before the Golden Goddesses came and cultivated the world around them, banishing them to beneath the surface.

Besides what would you get out of exploring underneath the water? Most of it is just Hyrule with mountains/islands jettisoning into the sky/sea level. Most you'd get is clunky swimming controls, some chests scattered around, and ultimately some random ruin backdrops and some coral on the sides of those mountains. It wouldn't be much honestly.

And it's not particularly lazy design when they never intended for it in the first place.

>>147257495
Rito are abominations born out of bad writing.

>>147257423
They weren't trying to stop Ganon. The people wished for the Gods to help and for him not to take Hyrule, so they flooded it.

They got monkeys pawed.

>>147257423
>weak excuse for lazy design
What do you mean by lazy design? It would be infinitely easier to just call it a new race and be done with it, but they showed us that they evolved from Zora and also gave us a reason why.
As for your submarines argument, that wasn't a thing before the flood now, was it? Same applies to how even though the flood is a divine event, the Koroks and the Deku tree can still drain the water.

>>147255407
There are still some blanks concerning the Triforce, as there are only a few games where we actually obtain it. Usage in ALttP and SS suggest that you can use it repeatedly for wishing. WW shows that it can disappear after a single wish. In my opinion, touching the Triforce without conquering it from others triggers the test of balance. If your three virtues are imbalanced, you only receive your highest virtue part. Conquering parts allows you to make a wish anyway. So here are two theories about wish granting.

>condition based functionality
The method of obtaining the Triforce influences the amount of wishes you receive. If you conquer it, you receive one wish and it disappears. It might relocate to the Sacred Realm. If you obtain it with balanced virtues, you receive an unlimited amount of wishes, as you are the type of person who's meant to receive it.

>location based functionality
The method of obtaining doesn't matter. If you use the Triforce outside of its designated resting place, it disappears after a wish and relocates to that space. This space may change over time and for quite a time after SS, it's been the Sacred Realm.

Since those things are unclear, I think we cannot conclude definite rules about splitting either. We have two cases of "conquering" and two cases of "obtaining".

There are also unknown factors concerning its powers. Ganondorf theorized in OoT that Link only made it that far with the Triforce of Courage. I doubt that as it didn't "appear" before the end game, so there's no prior visible activation process.

Depending on how you interpret certain sequences, you could theorize that all pieces grant shape changing powers. We know for sure that the Triforce of Power can make you (almost) immortal. It may allow shape changing, if that wasn't a power Ganondorf had previously. We know that the Triforce of Courage either grants shape changing or alters it. We know almost nothing about the powers of the Triforce of Wisdom.

I gotta know what hardcore Tetra-fags think of the bit where she actually complies with Daphnes' request to stay in the castle like a good little damsel. Even though this is some serious bullshit because she 1) doesn't know this old dude and has no obligation or emotional connection to him, 2) is a pirate, and by default gives no fucks about authority besides her own 3) is willing and able to assist Link(who she actually does know and care about) in fighting Ganon.

I like Wind Waker, but that's just flat out bad writing. She has a nice big pirate ship and a crew of goons, he's a dinky little red boat. Hell, you're a ghost, just possess Tetra's ship, dumbass.

>>147264438
That always struck me as weird too. If they really needed her to not be a part of the next story segment they should have given her a real reason to stay behind, not "the weird old dude said he's my dad, I completely believe him and am now totally emotionally reliant on him".

Well he's officially called Link from in the dialogue, so that probably eliminates us from having the option to name him with our save files. Also a small step from Nintendo finally beginning to recognize and accept him as his own character and not a blank-slate avatar.

Then again I don't think he was ever meant to be a true blank-slate which is what so many people misinterpreted from Miyamoto and Aonuma. He's more or less a callback to classic RPG characters where you didn't just create your own special OC snowflake like you do in so many RPGs todat, but you were given a character and you had to imagine what it was like to be in their shoes. That kind of deal. But people are idiotic and they still don't get it.

An ancient bipedal robot, roughly the same size as Koloktos.
It would be almost invincible until you make it rain in the room, causing it to malfunction.
As it rains, puddles form on the ground. once it's down to half health,
it tears trees out of the ground, and uses them as a makeshift umbrella, i guess.
then you freeze the puddles on the floor to make it slip, and when it's down, you use lightning to strike the robot.
repeat the cycle 3 times. each lightning strike, the robot gets faster,
until the third, which fries its circuits, killing it.
Thoughts?

I didn't have an N64 when I was little so I only played the 3DS remakes recently.

I played MM3D and then OoT3D, and maybe I should have played them in release order instead, because while I loved MM3D I found OoT3D really dull and disappointing by comparison.

The Sheikah may have not made the Ancient Robots, but it's very clear that area has some type of eventual Sheikah Connection with the Timeshift Stones, and we do know the Sheikah clearly have technology, same as the Twili and Oocoo. Both of which have Sheikah Symbols as well, and the Sheikah were appointed by the Goddesses. Sheikah may as well be Shadow/Warpers from space, a sister race to the Golden Goddesses, Book of Mudora does say they came from a Deep Nebula.

Gee, that's funny you say that. I played Ocarina when it first came out, but never owned MM and only rented it and played it up to Woodfall temple.

I recently got a 3DS and snatched up MM3D because I'd been looking for a copy for ages (only after I got it is the original cart freaking everywhere now, go figure). Fucking loved it. I'm only halfway through, but playing it recaptured the magic for me, no exaggeration.

I gave in and got OoT3D for the hell of it, even though I still own the original cart (with Ganon's red blood and Muslim chanting and everything). Felt like I was going through the motions. Kind of dull. I got a little more into it as of late, as I just decided to keep going, but it's not 100% there for me, I don't know why.

And yet I'm still playing it.

>>147267906

Those old RPG characters suck though, it's like the worst of both worlds with none of the benefits. You can imagine being in the shoes of a fleshed out character too it's not that hard. I hope they're realizing why it's a bad idea and moving forward, I want to actually care about Link for once, WW and LA DX were probably the closest it got for me.

>>147268248
I always assumed they were just like a weird variant of Floormaster or some type of fucked up experiment beneath the well by Bongo-Bongo before he was executed.

I love the idea of semi or mostly ourdoor dungeons.
Any thing that can be a level is fine btw; we just use "Dungeon" as shorthand for it to describe a quintessentially Zelda-type map.

How do you like >>147254242 (You) # for that?

I've always had this idea for a forest Boss be "Odolwa Jr." son of the first Odolwa. Purely because I'm in love with the sounds that motherfucker made. This ime Odolwa Jr.is way fucking more erratic and hard to pin down than his father. (Your forest automaton is by no means bad though.)

>>147268056
>Felt like I was going through the motions

That was how I felt while playing OoT3D even though I hadn't even played OoT before.

I'm not sure what it is that just makes it feel choreish to me. In fact it's ridiculous that it should feel like that compared to a game that literally makes you do the same shit over and over.

Is there ever any more evidence that the Sheikah can't be trusted?

Interestingly enough, I'm playing OoT and decided to talk to a Goron while wearing the Mask of Truth, and he says "that mask is unpleasant, goodbye."

Makes me think the Gorons have bad history with the Sheikas.

>>147268598
I think it's because Ocarina is so straightforward and basic, while Majora is not.

Anon, you should totally trust them, look they have holograms!

Maybe the Sheikah are responsible for the Gorons no longer having a Mountain Goddess. They are the only ones without a Racial Deity, until ST at least.

Seriously, they made the Master Sword into a cute girl. Just give us a robot waifu already.

And again, it wouldn't even be hard. She'd essentially be a Zelda flavored warforged.

>>147268428
Genuinely forgot about the idea of Shock
arrows.
That lightning strike via sword would work too, I guess. and if you don't have shock arrows, you can just use the rune as a backup with a cooldown. that's what BotW is about anyway. different ways to do the same thing.

>>147268612
The Sheikah are loyal servants of the royal family. The Shadow Temple is the way it is because that's where they did all morbid morally repugnant stuff that was necessary to protect Hyrule. The Well is just where some weird dude kept all his stuff.

>>147268750
The Sheikah don't seem to have a racial deity either.

>>147255643
>>147267456
It's interesting how the tables have turned over time, I remember when MM came out there was a fair bit of backlash that it was so different from OoT, and OoT was considered to be pretty much perfection and clearly superior. Now everyone one I know who played them for the first time recently favors MM much more. I wonder if it's something wrong with the 3DS version of OoT or if it really is all just nostalgia.

>>147269352

I like the theory that the guy who lived where the well is, is actually Bongo Bongo. The idea is that he was a criminal of some sort(probably kidnapping people and doing stuff to them in his fucked up house), and was executed by being hung upside down, his hands cut off, and his truth seeing eye removed.

They do, themselves, Majora, Fused Shadow, they made their own Gods with Magi-Tek

>>147270607
He was a Thief at least. It's why his hands were cut off. Probably snuck into houses stealing their things and possibly kidnapping and torturing/experimenting on the people.

His hands were inevitably cut off for being a thief, and his head because they thought he was able "to see things no other could", but it was just the Lens of Truth. And now he haunts the lands as an abomination.

I always liked Bongo-Bongo, the one Temple boss that wasn't the cause of Ganondorf in any way, it was Link's fault for busting the well in the first place and weakening the seal.
>>147270826
Hey man, what's more important? Guarding your like great great granddaughter, or being a boat? I think the answer is obvious.

Brrrrp, magic triumph fork!

>>147269982
Alright, i'll try.
It can only work outdoors, obviously.
it would be a bit like an AoE item, where a certain region would be affected.
It would work like bomb runes, one for each type.

Sun is the neutral, melts snow into puddles, which dry up.
the snow setting would freeze water, allowing you to push things across water, or walk on ice instead of swim. You would need warm clothes if you use this function, because the whole area becomes cold.
The rain mode has a secondary function, the lightning.
If you use the rain rune once, it just rains. But the second use causes a lightning strike.
That's all I can think of how it would be right now, I might work on it more later.

>>147270607
>>147271170
As a kid I was actually so unnerved and fascinated by the Windmill guy. His overly cheery personality, the weird music, his demonic anger later on, and the fact his windmill is connected to underground catacombs underneath the graveyard. So fascinated was I that I actually had written down a headcanon where he is a complete sicko and robs graves at night, taking them back home through the tunnels.

>>147271170
Dude must've really loved the sick samba beat though. I mean, Bongo Bongo is built up as this powerful abomination that kicked both Link and Sheik's asses, one that you have to chase through a creepy torture pit filled with horrid undead monsters where the protectors of Hyrule did their dark work to defend the realm, and the first thing it does when you finally reach it's lair... is start playing the drums. Okay.

>>147271901
And visually?

>>147271924
To be fair, he probably does do that.

>>147272025
Maybe it was a leftover from his time when he lived. He sacrificed people to his Dead Hand abomination (his first victim) and just danced around and played the Bongos while they were being devoured and he bathed in the riches he stole.

I don't know, I'm just trying to think of random shit.

Which boots were you supposed to wear while fighting Bongo Bongo?

>>147272210

>>147272067
Felt the same way about Happy Mask Man, too. I remember wanting to make some shit up about him but never did.

>>147272210
You're supposed to wear the Hover Boots in case you get bounced off so you can recover quick.

>>147272383
I always assumed he was the God of the Dead, giving masks to people to ease their spirits and knows the Song of Healing.

>>147272045
what do you mean, the runes themselves? Because these are on the Shiekah slate.
The Rain one would probably just be a raindrop.
The sun one would just be sun. T
he cryostasis one is a snowflake already though, so the snow one would probably be either an ice cube or a low thermometer.

In the world, it would summon/dispel clouds, I guess.

>implying the their service to the Royal Family isn't a facade

Sure, maybe some of them stayed in Hyrule, felt sympathy for the primitives of the land; help out and integrated into society over time. But the fact that their technology is present in all timelines to some degree, and that it was implemented to help the hero says something else. They run the show more than the Royal Family ever will.

I just want another game with him in it. His chaotic nature combined with ill intent made an interesting setting and just the sheer mindfuckery he did in MM was great. Maybe one day?

>>147275778
Probably didn't work well with TP's items honestly. I mean you don't have many items to use them period anyways other than the Dominion Rod and it's useless for the majority of time you have it. Probably originally constantly drained magic as you controlled things, not great, same with the Magic Armor. No real use for just two items that are largely useless and optional.

You can still see some leftover with the Chu stuff.

I mean, it kind of died/was exorcised at the end. It's not like Ganondorf with a bunch of minions that want to resurrect him, it's just kind of gone now. Maybe an origin story though, I don't believe the one from the manga. It's my favorite antagonist (if you're counting the mask and skullkid as a unit) out of the ones we've had so far but the fact that they were capable of it makes me wonder if they can make another really good one, that's why I want to see new antagonists, if they only used the same ones then we wouldn't have seen Majora in the first place.

>>147276084
I don't trust Neo-Nintendo to pull it off properly honestly. Chances are they'll ruin his lovecraftian mystery.

We definitely need another villain like him though. Something that's just completely destructive and malicious to the point where its motives are incomprehensible. I hope Calamity Ganon delivers in that aspect.

>>147277139
They go to Labrynna or Holodrum after Ganondorf takes over.

Speaking of which, why doesn't Ganondorf ever want to control those countries really? It's always mostly just Hyrule.

>>147277287
Whether that's true or not, it's still at the top of the Zelda antagonists. But that's not saying much.

>>147277496
>They go to Labrynna or Holodrum
fakkin wat

>>147277356
Somewhat, not much. ALBW has probably one of the easiest, shortest dungeons in Zelda history though in Lorule.

I don't see how anybody can like Thieve's Hideout, it's pathetically short and simple to the point it's insulting.

>>147277623
Where else would they go? They're not in Hyrule clearly. Ganondorf seemingly never fucked over Kakariko, Link and the Windmill Dude are the ones that did that.

>>147277639
I loved Theif's hideout, because it wasn't a standard "hidden temple" type of dungeon, it was more like an espionage mission, and yes, I also liked it because it was quick and short. I want to get the dungeon over with and get back to the overworld, which is always my favorite part.

>>147277496
Hyrule had the most dealings with the Gerudo, so it was a natural first choice to take over, especially since he was initially doing the whole trick them through diplomacy route to get near the Triforce. Since he got beat in that attempt, and since the Triforce is usually in Hyrule, and since he's influenced by Demise's curse to specifically go after the Hylian Royal Family, whenever he comes back he just goes after Hyrule again.

What are you fine anons up to today?

I liked the attempt at making it unique and that I do appreciate it, but it's over in like 5-7 minutes that you don't even get a time to appreciate it. I just found it stupidly simple and insulting, which says a lot about Zelda dungeons for the most part as much as I love a lot of them.
>>147277835

>>147278120
I don't recall it saying, but I imagine they existed. I imagine they were lands created right along with Hyrule and the Parallel Worlds and Realms by the Golden Goddesses. Lorule and Hyrule just being their enter/exit points so that's where the Triforces are.
