Another new bread, another new edition of "learn2Hylian" from HylianAnon.
In tonight's lesson, we learn the word for something that there is 120 of, and that will have puzzles and PHYSICS in them as we collect shit in them.
FIRST FOR CANON BROLY
I WANT TO FUCK FI
>>166259931
dont forget you have numbers at your disposal
Shoulda waited for new thread, gonna repeat myself now.
What are everyones top 5 tracks from any zelda game, spin off included?
Heres mine:
-BoTW Story Trailer
-Fi's Departure
-Koloktos/Moldarach
-Ballad of the Wind Fish
-Molgera from HW Legends
>>166260157
All of it.
>>166260018
Autism.
>>166260157
I'm partial to:
- Farewell Hyrule King
- Gerudo Valley
- Boss: Blizzetta
- Whatever that piano track was in BotW trailer #2
- Any orchestration of the main theme
Excuse me, canon couple coming through
>>166260157
Basically everything from Wind Waker.
Particularly the opening medley. I just love how all three themes blend together.
>>166258738
>only 5
I'll go with full songs, because I do like the ocarina stuff from OoT and MM a lot.

I like this version best as well
>>166260157
Choosing only 5 is too hard when I love most of the soundtracks.
1. Faron Woods (TP)
2. City in the Sky (TP)
3. Gerudo Desert (TP & OoT)
4. Dark World (LttP)
5. Wild Ruins (MC)
>>166261001
One of these days I want to play a Zelda game where every one of your items is added onto your model when they're equipped in some way.
BOTW is a good first but I need EVERYTHING hanging off the model.
>>166260157
1. OoT Title Theme
2. Midna's Theme
3. OoT's Fire Temple (Original version)
4. Bamboo Island (Skyward Sword)
5. Hidden Village (Twilight Princess)
>>166261415
I feel like that would get really busy looking real quick.
what botw has i think is the most id like to see before it gets to clustered to look good
>>166260157
>Skyward Sword finally gives us real orchestrated music
>the very next game only has ambient piano plinks for music
>>166261714
>I feel like that would get really busy looking real quick.
Hence why I said only items that you have equipped.
It'd be nice to see bombs or the hookshot hanging from belt and such.
>>166261720
>>the very next game only has ambient piano plinks for music
That's only for the overworld. I'm sure towns, characters, bosses and dungeons will have normal Zelda music.
>>166261720
We havent really heard any music other than the overworld
>>166261802
Oh yeah, that would be nice then. I hated picking up bomb bags or quivers, and then never actually getting to see them, and Link just pulls things out of his ass or wherever
>>166261720
I'll take the N64 soundchip over orchestrated music anytime. It was such a nice soundchip. Grant Kirkhope's Yooka Laylee tracks aren't the same without it.
I like the variety of instruments the N64 tracks had to offer. The consistent instruments of Windwaker, Twlight Princess, and Skyward Sword are a little boring when you could be busting out different styles for each area.
>>166261897
>We havent really heard any music other than the overworld
We've heard the trailer music, which is fucking fantastic. Overworld doesn't have music, just little ambience noises
>>166261942
>Grant Kirkhope's Yooka Laylee tracks aren't the same without it.

Get the fuck out
>>166262901
Have you seen her nose m8? It looks disgusting.
And the hair? That looks just plain bad. So normally princess Zelda does her hairline right in the middle? Ok, it doesn't look bad because she also has a crown, or something on her forehead. This time however, it just looks bad.
God, lose the braid and have her hair loose, it'll look ok despite the nose still being shit.
Also she doesn't have her bangs
>>166262806

Yes, it means locating hidden Koroks in the overworld. Some of them have been shown simply hiding under rocks, while others require minor tasks to locate, like diving into a ring of lilypads. When you find them, they give you a Korok Seed. After that, you give the seeds to someone for some kind of reward.
>>166264969
Hmmm wonder what all 900 give you.
>>166265043
A special wooden stick with 999 damage rating and unbreakable

1. Song of Healing. Hands down best Zelda track. I will never stop loving that synth or whatever it's called in the background. Feels just fucking perfect behind that piano. Link shouldering the hopes and regrets of the people he encounters without a complaint or thought for his own wellbeing deservedly makes this track 3 golden goddesses tier.give MM Link some love in this new game you cruel nintendo bastards
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXnWfx6bIVE&t=102s
2. Faron Woods, from both TP and SS. Comfy as fuck in their own ways. I wish that there were more areas of the Sacred Woods that we could explore in TP.

4. Termina Field. Great spin on the usual overworld theme and gets you pumped.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMqc8duv-O4
5. Bamboo Island from SS. I honestly don't remember that many tracks from SS, but when I do they're fucking great. Walking into that island for the first time greeted me with such a chilled out tune I downloaded it onto my PC after only a couple loops of listening.

>>166261720
I'm unhappy, too. Make that "music", not necessarily music.
>>166261847
We sure hope.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo overdid the minimalism for most of the soundtrack, among other undesirable things, in order to save on resources/memory in order to make the game as big as possible.
>>166261942
>I'll take the N64 soundchip over orchestrated music anytime.
You're out of your damn mind, sonny boy.
Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword haven't been any more consistent than N64 Zeldas on sound variety. If anything, diversity has been more due to the greater memory of the Wii and WiiU. Your nostalgiafaggotry clouds your memory and judgment.
Gorons still get their funky rhythms. Zoras still get their sweet and ephemeral melody. Dungeons vary appreciably, and are certainly a step up from, say, Wind Waker when we're talking about Skyward Sword. Twilight Princess' dungeon BGMs were certainly less melodic than I like.
>>166268990
Right on me, m8. Always on or close at hand. I love to experiment, but this situation doesn't call for beakers, graduated cylinders, titration apparati, etc., to begin with.
>>166269008
I'd be up for a socialist Hyrule ruled bynot-Aztecs.

Nintendo is gradually moving towards a homelier look for our dear Zeruda, starting with Skyward Sword.
I wonder why? Is it to appease female fans in a way or what?
I wish there was much more fanart of the locales in the Zelda games.

You mean like it was in all Zelda games before OoT?
>>166270417
You'll get fujotrash and like it.
>>166270463
Hey now, I said homelier, obviously versus before, though Smash and Warriors are exceptions, I'm not at all saying SS Zelda was ugly. She's still attractive.
Calm down.
Guys I don't know whether I bring fresh news, but I think it's the calamity, Ganon and not the Calamity Ganon.
In the English trailer, the voice says that the history of the royal family of Hyrule is also the history of the calamity Ganon.
But in French, the phrase is totally different. Translated, it says : Since the most ancient times, the history of the royal family of Hyrule is intimately bond/linked to the one of The Calamity, this monster named Ganon.
So did you already know it ? Is it an error of translation in the French trailer ?
I've never played Skyward Sword or Majora's Mask. I want to play one before BoTW comes out. What do you think?
>>166271028
>games before OoT
A trend in the first two games that didn't stick, wow. No one cares. All other games since have had a very pretty Zelda. BotW is obviously a clear downgrade.
>>166271305
Sidenote : it seems to be the same in Spanish (Latin), Spanish (Spain) and Italian.
>>166271423
Both.
Majora's Mask is my favorite, though, start with that one. The 3DS remake looks and feels great.
I like how they revamped the bosses.I need to replay the N64 MM, though, as I think they made the swamp boss and mountain boss a little easier, unfortunately.

>>166271305
Those mean the same thing, just worded differently.
If the Royal history is linked to the history of the Calamity, then you could simplify it to "the Royal history is also the history of the Calamity". Not how I would choose to word it, personally.
>>166271423
Majimbo's Mask
Squidward Sword just has too many design fuckups to be worth playing aside from a few exceptions like the desert ocean (which is ruined by the final boss' design)
>>166271445
>>166271305
I can confirm in Italian it says like that.
But the Italian translation seems to be a bit off in general. For instance, in the Italian trailer the old woman says something like "the history of Hyrule is linked to..." and not "the history of the royal family of Hyrule is linked to...".
It's a minium change, I know, but it shows the translations may change the meaning of some things.

Bring it on, autismus.
>>Reuses the same areas constantly
Several games do that. Wow-y wowwow. At least this one "remixed" things a bit with the flooding of the forest, new areas in the desert, and Eldin being suddenly occupied by moblins.
>Waylays you for pointless busywork (fucking finding the five pieces of the locking mechanism in Eldin after you explored the entire area alreay, really?)
That sucked, I'll give you that.
>Areas are incredibly linear to the point of absurdity
Which plagues the other games as well to varying degrees, sometimes even absurdity.
>Fighting Girahim instead of dungeon bosses twice
That was so worth it, you damn autist. The swordplay of SS was one of the new elements, Girahim was a fine way to make use of it.
>Fighting The Imprisoned three times with minor tweaks
I'm sure that annoyed us all.

Cool story, bro.
http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=zelda
http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda
SS did fine. Neither best or worst.
The worst thing about Skyward Sword is the fact that Hylia forces Link to reincarnate every time evil appears, and she's considered "good". I mean how fucked up is that?
>>166273082
Sales do not equal popularity.
>>166273169
Yeah, Link should rebel against this endless cycle, rape and murder Zelda and hang out with Donte.
>>166273169
See, the thing about reincarnation is that it's kind of a raw deal for the original owner of the soul
You don't keep your memories nor your personality. It's a completely new person who may or may not share similarities with the original owner. There is absolutely no difference to the original person whether or not they reincarnate.
So it's not like the original Link is around to complain about it.
>>166273169
The worst thing about Super Mario is the fact that Peach forces Mario to save her every time Bowser appears, and she's considered "good". I mean how fucked up is that? She has a kingdom and never develops any defense, always has to call a particular Japanese-speaking Italian midget plumber to rescue her from a fire-breathing asshole with an actual army.
>>166273245
>It's a completely new person who may or may not share similarities with the original owner.
Erm, no. Zelda and Link are always good and never evil because they're all the same
>>166273428
The worst thing about/lozg/is the fact that she forcesDEDnonto save her every time___page10___appears, and she's considered "good". I mean how fucked up is that?

Yeah...link.....just kidnap zelda, rape her, kill her, the everyone that ganon killed her, and live life....and kill zelda's child.
>>166270903
>>166271091
Oh, sorry I thought that Hyperbole was allowed on 4chan. Sensitive, so sensitive...
But seriously, SS Zelda was leagues above TP Zelda and OoT Zelda. I don't know what you're imagining.
>>166273740
>kill zelda's child
without Zelda during the game, there's no post-game-end marriage that carries on her bloodline so she may reincarnate in the future
so no child to kill
>>166273869
Then Link, find the time lord sword, go back in time when Hylia existed, kill her, so you'll finally live in peace.
>>166273869
>>166274013
Guys, this is fucking retarded. I mean, for fuck's sake I've seen a lot of retarded shit in /lozg/, but this is just a new level of autism.
Link obviously needs to get with GANON, romantically. Ganon is a Gerudo, they have genes to make female offspring with any male suitor. So Ganon and Link have a female child, one born of the most courageous and most powerful souls Hyrule has ever seen, and BAM! Sexy, stronk-ass, toned, halfrican anti-Zelda.
This is the only logical solution. This is how Link is saved. This is how Hyrule dies.

actually idk if I think is between MM/TP or if I want it to be
>>166275614
My belief is it's either early Downfall Timeline or after 4 Swords Adventure in the child timeline
>>166276448
The biggest problem with your theory is Calamity Ganon itself. This is Ganondorf at his strongest in the series, making this game a prequel offense TP would make TP redundant.
Considering how Ganon appears like 5 times in the downfall timeline, I think it's the one
>>166275614
>Fallen Hero timeline during what is referred to the "sealing war" in Hyrule Historia
>Link from Ocarina of Time is defeated by Ganon in the final battle.
>Zelda and the sages do some last ditch effort shit to seal Ganon temporarily (or not. doesn't really matter) and Zelda escapes with Link's dead(?) body
>Link gets put in the cryostasis resurrection bathtub for one hundred years
>Some years after Link is put in stasis, Ganon is back on the prowl, kills OoT Zelda and fucks up Hyrule
>Link (The Hero of Time) awakens without his memories and needs to redeem himself by saving Hyrule
>Game ends with Ganon being imprisoned in the Sacred Realm (which becomes the Dark World to lead into ALttP)
>>166276251
>>166276530
>>166276597
I only think about it because this shit on the Temple of Time's wall in Twilight Princess HD, itreally makes me think
>>166276903
>Ganon is back on the prowl, kills OoT Zelda
Yep, there is a big chance this is the plot twist of the story.
inb4you have to go back ~100 years to defeat Ganon
>>166276903
The theory that BotW Link is OoT Link is more retarded than the theory it takes place in the Child Timeline by a long shot.
Yes, the hand does matter, but on top of that is the lack of the green tunic, and much more importantly the lack of a CASTLE by the time of the final battle of OoT. I mean, did you think that one through? Did any of you think that one through? That if it's a direct sequel to OoT with the same Link that the Calamity Ganon was sealed for 100 years in a castle that didn't even exist?

SS Zelda had a bland design and bland anime childhood friend personality. OoT and TP Zelda had almost no personality at all but they make up for it by looking damn good.

If you can handle old graphics, Majora's Mask has easily ten times the exploration of skyward sword (as long as you don't use a FAQ).
Some people chafe at MM's small map, but the 3-day mechanic makes the game feel huge.
Don't forget about the Tetraforce:

>>166292108
There's a manga at the back of the Hyrule Historia that briefly details the events that started the Zelda series with the war between good and evil.

You can't expect them to have known to put dual audio in their first Zelda game with voice acting
>alternate endings for BotW
Good ending: Link wins, cut to black
100% ending: same as before butLink speaks
>>166295960
The Bravely games have all dual audio.
The main issue here is, the games comes with both audios on cart already, you simply can't select which audio to play is all.
Either completely English; Japanese, or whichever language you choose.
Not really bothered by it, honestly, but when all of the audio files are already there, why not give us the option to choose what we want?

>what did nintendo mean by this

Why live?
No really, ST Zelda aside I found Hilda much more interesting due to the 'Bearer of Wisdom that wasn't so wise" thing. I wouldn't mind them doing something different like that again, though I doubt it'd ever happen because muh traditional roles, and Nintendo seems to want Zelda to be a specific way now given the previous trend.

Hylian Odyssey.
Assemble a team of adventurers from the various races of Hyrule, each race offering two class types, and each class offering four portraits (three of which you'll probably hate). Boldly delve into the dungeons of the land, but now in first-person dungeon-crawler style with graphics right out of the mid-2000s and the soothing soft jazz stylings of Yuzo Koshiro (unless he decides to go PC88 on it).
Unravel the paper thin mysteries of the past and face down the mysterious and unknown heart of darkness at the center of the labyrinth, no matter what sort of deranged scientist it is this time around.
Available only for the Nintendo 3DS, but not in Europe, and for North America whenever they finish localizing Persona 7.5 Golden: Dancing All Night.
>>166295673
I played it at the E3 event, the movement controls feel a lot like skyward sword's but MUCH more smooth, and without a giant lime popping up every time you start sprinting.

I never did a perfect counter, only had like 15 minutes of actual game time, but the flurry rush was pretty simple to pull off. It did feel like it slowed down time a little TOO long, if you didn't press any buttons it would hang there for a good 3 seconds
>>166300942
Obviously not, but from the looks of her she'd probably be the same as LttP Zelda there.
>>166301605
you'll need all those 3 second when fighting guardians
Reminder that Trevperson is currently running MM any% glitchless and is frequently world recording it before he goes back to 100% (w/ gliches).
For anons that have replayed Majora as many times as possible and have saturated the enjoyment and either have had to graduate to watching speedruns or running it themselves.
Don't watch this if you haven't played it or only have played it once.

>Not supporting game series you like
The worst kind of cunt.
>>166302435
Unfortunately, I still have to play MM so I can't watch it.
>>166303209
The only seeming advantage of Switch over WiiU for BotW is portability and maybe super HD. You can get both from emulation, so no point buying a new console (that otherwise I don't give a fuck about) just for one game.
There's also the disgusting regional dubs affair. If it turns out we can't get rid of them stateside, emulation is once again the only way to make this playable.

>>166305114
I wouldn't mind her so much if they didn't go out of their way to make Link as pretty as possible. Making Zelda look so plain by comparison makes ti seem as though they either just didn't care about her or deliberately wanted her to be less attractive.
reminder that those are boots and pants not bird feet
>>166305646
I neither couldn't stand her at first. Just give it time; eventually, in the right angle she'll start looking somewhat endearing and then you'll think is Zelda afterall. I mean, cartoonish brownie Tetra was also a no-no but we learned to see beyond that.

>>166292114
>Old graphics
I mean yeah, I've never had an issue playing games with outdated graphics considering the fact that I grew up playing them. I'll play the 3DS version anyway.
Would u want this?
>>166308110
Lovecraft is overrated. Ganon being scared of something is laughtable. The lore already set who created the Zelda universe.
>>166307757
Thing is that I don't want her to just be endearing. In fact that is what I'm most afraid of, that she's going to be similar to SS Zelda in that her entire personality will revolve around being endearing and nothing else. Honestly everything we've seen of her so far just makes her look like a waifu, though of course it's too soon to say for sure.
That said I doubt anything is gonna make me find her more physically attractive. Again, it's more jarring because they clearly went to a great effort to make Link attractive, but went in the opposite direction for Zelda.
>>166308110
Sure why not, just make sure it's a spinoff sort of.
I mean, after BotW I don't see the next few Zelda games being anything major in terms of relation to the main series like OoT was, but rather quickly put gimmick zelda games like MM, which are shorter, in other lands that aren't Hyrule and have a gimmick to them. The scope of BotW is simply too big to try and go against for nowI love MM, but I hope you get my point.

What does /lozg/ think about the original Xenoblade? Do you think Monolith helped with the world design in BotW?
So the game has 76 side quests, and a main quest, wonder if some side quests will be really big.
>>166334241
>What does /lozg/ think about the original Xenoblade?
Haven't played it. I have only played XCX and it's pretty good.
>Do you think Monolith helped with the world design in BotW?
There was a dev team sent to help the BotW staff because this was a first for Nintendo to build such a large game. They really helped optimize it from the experience they had making XCX.
>>166334808
One side quest is just you helping some awkward schmuck get a date over the course of several days, with him being a constant fuck up while the girl remains aggressively oblivious to the whole thing
I fear Zelda x Link won't be a thing in Botw.
Him bowing to her is a dangerous call back to the princess-commoner relationship they had in previous games.
Zelda saying "you are our light" OUR means "I'm just the face of Hyrule as a whole"
>>166336510
I kind of hope this is the case, if only because it means that she might not be as waifubait as the trailers make her look and more importantly not so much like SS Zelda. That said I find that hard to believe.

Not just the eyes. He's got quite the jew nose going for him shading wise too. Try to squint or look at your image from a distance and you'll see what I mean. It's a little trick you can use to check whether your values look natural.
If you do want to improve though, better prepare yourself to grind some head and/or face value studies anon-kun. Black & white photographs can be a good start. Don't skip out on your fundamentals!

i think the idea is the plot of the game is magically pulling the three timelines back together and it fucked shit up.
>>166363652
That's stupid, it would be simpler to just have 'an alternate, similar timeline' rather than ham handedly converging existing ones into a single timeline with too many chromosomes
Why isn't Hyrule a democracy already? Why does Nintendo keep masturbating on something as outdated as monarchy?
>>166364359

>>166363652
Converging timelines is a dumb idea both for the lore and for Nintendo's economies.
They bank on the fact the fanbase speculates about timelines. Having different timelines also allow them to create very different games in the series with different themes and artstyles.
A convergent timeline would limit their profits, creativity and fan following.
>>166364359
It may have to do with the fact the series has a FANTASY setting with an overall MEDIEVAL theme.
You fucks should stop putting political ideas where there aren't any.
>>166364729
matters how this game ends, if it ends with re-splitting the timelines or if nintendo plans to make direct sequels to this or its ending.
also pulling all the timelines back together doesnt mean they cant still make games within those timelines, nintendos never pumped out zelda games chronologically.
infact ocarina of time splits the time line into 3, LttP,WW, and TP are the big games of those three time lines and then SS tells the tale of how it all began, theres not really anywhere that would have as much importance as any of those unless its at the end of some convergence timeline event.
if people think its dumb thats fine im not really point to little details trying to push it as fact i just feel like if nintendo wants the story to pack a punch putting it anywhere else on the time line is pretty dull at this point.
>>166354475

Who thinks the game will be a let down?
>>166366272
Personally don't think it'll be life changing just curious how long I'll be interested after I get my armour and get used to carrying 10+ of most recovery items since I scavenge like fuck.
As long as I can get up to about half of what HW provided in terms of hours I'll consider it a good experience in my books
>>166366493
Same here. I think we're at the point of over hype in the pre-launch window.
>>166365071
Nintendo might really unify the timeline after Botw. The reason being that the game becomes a huge success and Nintendo wants to continue making open world zelda games
>>166366272
It will be a let down because we will be spoiled in the next weeks.
That's how it goes. If we would play the game blindly, we would be amazed by it. But since someone will play it before us and spoil everything on the web, all those surprises won't amaze us anymore and in the end we will be let down.
This is what will 100% happen.
>>166367513
>Implying I don't 100% media blackout two weeks before launch
>>166366272
It will be a let down only for people that want to be purposely disappointed.
No matter what naysayers say, this game has already fixed all the problems of SS and they listened to those many fans that asked for a non-linear open Zelda game. They even made the foward step of adding Voice acting, and many people asked for it. They finally had the courage to move on from the safe yet over abused OoT formula (SS didn't try hard enough), just like MANY wanted, especially the ones calling each new game a rehash.
They really did everything right so far. At this point, the only ones that will be let down are those that want to be let down on purpose by the smallest and insignificant details.
Call me blind fanboy if you want, but the things I listed are true, they listened and fixed many problems of past games. This is why I am confident I won't be let down. I'm not even screaming "OMG GOTY, SO GOOD, BEST GAME EVER", I am just sure as fuck it will be a good game.
>>166368089
What a gross Zelda.

So we all agree that BotW Zelda has taken the throne from TP Zelda as best Zelda design ever, ye?
>>166368258
TP never had the best design though. Everybody knows that Majora's Mask had the best enemies, locations, dungeons, music, masks, quests, side-quests, mechanics and story.
If MM was properly remade, instead of being given a shitty remaster that changed how some of the best mechanics work, it would be an easy 9/10 - 9.5/10
>>166368447
Zelda wasn't in MM, ya dip.

>>166364729
>Converging timelines is a dumb idea both for the lore and for Nintendo's economies.
I'm sick and tired of this bogus assessment. I love having theories about the greater story and timelines. It's 90% of what I post in /lozg/. There are like 5 other people who talk about theories and timelines on a regular basis. I would not delude myself for a single moment thinking that having 'timelines' sells a single extra copy of a Zelda game.
>A convergent timeline would limit their profits, creativity and fan following.
Suggesting that not having timelines limits creativity is 'limited' on its own. How can you write that with a straight face? If anything, getting rid of timelines rids them of loose ends that might warrant being addressed at a future point. They run this shit and they're not scared of retroactive continuity. Sequels, prequels, spin-offs, alternative realities, they did all of that before.
>>166369756
I am instead sick of bogus arguments trying to force a shitty idea like convergence into people's heads.
Kindly stop embarrassing yourself.
>>166369805
Sure, no problem. Would you like to show me those bogus arguments first? I mean, apparently I use them to shove convergence into your head. Therefore, you would know what those are, right?
>>166370023
Of course I know, you can't stop writing about them in every single thread, mere opinions and assumptions thrown in our faces like facts.
No, convergence is not good speculation, get over yourself, holy fucking shit.
You are just afraid to have actual arguments about the REAL placement of the game in the timeline(s). You are afraid, so you keep spamming the most brainless idea that, in your mind only, should make all timeline discussions end.
No, my dear friend, convergence won't happen and you better start betting where the game actually takes place, you have only 4 options and convergence is not one of them. Or maybe, like I said, you are afraid of being wrong by choosing one of the possible timelines? Oh, you can bet it, you are a coward.
>>166366272
Things I never asked for from zelda:
>huge open world to the point of being unmanageable
>very non-linear gameplay (compromises the narrative and/or difficulty curve in every game I know of)
>100+ small sanctuaries rather than a proper number of dungeons
>more inventory management than ever
>weapon durability
>lite survival mechanics
>a huge number of collectable items that don't matter
>whatever the fuck that annoying slowdown stuff is when you parry
I'm not anti-change or anything but BotW represents a bunch of shit I don't look for from Zelda. If the game can't impress me despite my reservations I'm done.
>>166370253
Could you tell me what those bogus arguments are supposed to be? I don't spam threads, and I really don't know what you don't like about specific convergence arguments. Your post didn't tell me.
To summarize my point, convergence is merely what's left after taking in all the footage and seeing that ruling out any post OoT timeline is not possible. They show us stuff from all three, which is impossible to have in one single game if you treat them as definite and not intertwined.
>>166370751

>>166369756
I accidentally started a kerfuffle and for that I am sorry, let me explain myself a little better than just calling stupid,
I don't mind theories, I don't have much of an opinion on the timeline thing, other than thinking it is probably NOT in the child timeline
All I am talking about is basic logic on how time works, at least as far as we understand it.
At any moment, a person can have hundreds of thousands of futures, they are fluid and ever changing. His past however, is STATIC. once an event has happened it will have always happened. A convergent timeline would basically be saying:
>"Remember that catastrophe that happened a while ago?"
>'The great flood, or the twilight invasion?'
>"neither, of those, I am talking about when the hero died and brought about hyrule's downfall"
A convergent timeline would involve having three separate and distinct pasts for one region, something that would not make logical sense, no matter how interesting it would be. There is a reason why fictional works never use this concept.

I know there will be 4 big dungeons. But I prefer standard size dungeons that feel like a big obstacle to overcome and there can be a difficulty curve within the dungeon itself. Mini dungeons are quick and undercooked in comparison. They don't have the chance to get complex with their puzzles before they're over and you'll never get a mini version of something like Stone Tower Temple.
>>166371034

Communities elsewhere are super hugboxy right now and 4chan is the only place you can really share a negative outlook on the game and find like-minded people who aren't just fundamentally anti-Nintendo or whatever.
Why did they abandon Spirit Tracks? I thoroughly enjoyed the game and the setting, despite it being a little dumbed down.
I'm actually going to go ahead and say it was my favourite portable zelda.
If there was a reference to it somewhere in BotW, a section of rusted old track or a boiler, derailed in the middle of nowhere and heavily overgrown... man, I think i'd bust a nut.

Spirit Tracks takes place in the New Hyrule colonised by the hero and Tetra post-Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, Breath of the Wild seems to take place in the original Hyrule so it would make no sense for their to be Spirit Tracks rail system what with the ge taking place on a diffrent continent and all that.
>>166375972
Link in ALTTP GBA makes the same sound as Young Link in OoT when he swings his sword. It's horribly out of place
>>166375972
He probably takes his GBA to play outside
Living alone is starting to get to me. Don't have much to do today as college is out, so I'm just baking blueberry swirls with the windows open, cold wind and rain nearly pouring in through the windows.

You have your Link buddy to keep you company, anon. My advice to you, take it or leave it, is don't leave yourself with free time. Find a hobby, a cheap one if needs be. Go for walks, write a short story, draw a picture etc Living alone is hard for some people, don't be feeling bad!We love you!

>>166376986
Aw, thanks guy. I took a little break from the novel I'm writing, about forty pages into it right now. Rough draft and all that, but I like how the opening segments are shaping up, even if I think I'm going to scrap/rewrite a small part of it.

They're 500$ if someone's interested. I can soon post my ebay item page.

(You)
Why does anyone want the collector's edition? the sword figure looks like fucking shit, it's literally plastic
>>166377736
Yeah, I was excited about it at first, but then I saw it during the treehouse presentation. It looked flimsy as hell, it was visibly leaning in every shot, not worth $40 on top of the extra $40 I already dropped on the special edition because I have an unhealthy obsession with fantasy maps and coins
My blueberry filling nearly burst out during cooking. Close one.
On a more Zelda related note, A Link Between Worlds is the most fun I've had with a Zelda game since originally playing Twilight Princess on the GC, honestly. The game design is so fantastic, the music is great, and it brings back memories of playing games like A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening. I love it to death, only three paintings left to get.
I've only played OoT 3D and never finished it since my 3DS died, but I really got interested in Zelda after BotW announcement, so I want to play them all now.
Should I play in release order or "timeline" order?
>>166378045
Looks tasty.
ALBW, for me, was a bit disappointing. I had a lot of fun, don't get me wrong, but I felt the entire experience was somewhat flat.
>>166378075
Not at all necessary. I would suggest you play them in the order which appeals to you. Maybe all the 2D games, maybe all the 3D games. Or maybe just play them because you like how they look.
But the timeline isn't important.
>>166378285
>I felt the entire experience was somewhat flat
>>166372723
Not making logical sense is what sparked convergence in first place. The contradictions pile up and a logical progression of time becomes harder to explain. I want to keep in mind that time manipulation is a recurring theme. Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, Oracle of Ages, Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess feature several devices and plot elements that work against static past.
The Ocarina of Time is dangerous, because it's a time travelling device with the safety off. I like to think that Nintendo has a concept of what they consider 'safe time travel'. Most magic time travel devices simply establish a link to the past and allow time travelling along a fixed interval, linking two dimensions that keep progressing in time. Altering the past dimension always influences the origin present dimension. To huge effects that destroy the scope of the game.
In OoT, the ocarina is only used once on a person. It transports Link's mind back in time. This one instance was so bad for time, it distorted the regular flow. No other time travel device in the series ever did a similar thing. The way you use it MM is just as nuts, compared to the other devices. It always travelling back to one single point repeatedly while disregarding the interval other devices have to obey to.
I want to suggest that convergence, while not being logical, is possible because of OoT. I also suppose that time travelling in the Zelda universe works with the same laws and constrictions all other time travelling devices adhere to. The ocarina violated those rules and distorted the flow. The adult timeline is an oddity, and the downfall timeline or the child timeline is an oddity, that should not have occured.
In or before BotW, Zelda might have tried to fix this once and for all since it's her (ancestor's) fault this happened. Of course this didn't work out as planned, and boom, we have a game that features all the contradicting elements, a starting point, and timefuck finally laid to rest.
>>166378363
CAAARLOOOOOOS!
>>166378673
It's just way too convoluted, I like to apply occam's razor to theories
Are the koroks here because it is the windwaker timeline, or simply because the dev's wanted to add them in?
The goddess statues, while out of place, could simply be a minor retcon.
The game seems to take place after OoT, based on the presence of a destroyed castle town, meaning it could be a direct sequel to OoT where link either succeeded and went back in time, or died. Both options leave castle town destroyed in that timeline
>>166378363
Didn't even realise I had made a funny
Just reached the desert in TPHD. Does that mean it's time to open the wolf link amiibo? Isn't that dungeon thing in the desert?
>>166378285

>>166377736
Collector's Edition is shit but I kind of like the SE just for the carrying case
>>166379774Y-you're w-w-welcome
>>166379494
You're thinking of a different dungeon, called the Cave of Ordeals.
>>166380089
Gotcha, when and where will that pop up?
FACT: Zant shouldn't have ever taken his helmet off completely. He looks like a gimp.
>>166380584
He looks like a fucked up Zora.
>>166378673
>To huge effects that destroy the scope of the game.
I meant ' No huge effects that destroy the scope of the game.'
>>166379205
It is a convoluted mess, but it has been for a decade. Nintendo adapted their timeline several times. If I start discarding elements as 'randomly added', I might as well stop discussing. The exercise is to find a space that fits the given points without cherry picking those elements I like for my preferred timeline.
>>166380584
I liked skinny weird man Zant.
I remember really liking a certain scene in Twilight Princess, I think after the final boss? Right before Ganon died the scene shifted to Zant and his neck snapped, scene again switching to Ganon dying. I remember that scene looking really good.
>>166260097
Is there any logic to these numbers or is it just memorization?
>>166381220
The entire TP Ending scene was top notch. Easily the best one in Zelda.
>>166380460
There's a warp somewhere in the desert with a piece of the Bridge of Eldin, warp the piece back to its original location, and the entrance will be where the piece was.
Starting it now though is pointless since you need items from the next dungeons to complete it. It can be completed once you have gotten the fourth mirror shard.
>>166381880
Gotta agree. Nearly all the forms are fun to fight, and the music and art direction are great too.
>>166381880
>that neck crack from zant as ganondorf dies
>>166382027
Nice one anon, cheers
tell me about the birdmans from the new game
all I know about them is daftpatriot
>>166383150
What's to tell? They seem to like bows and music?
>>166383150
They appear to be a new race,
A lot of people speculate that they are the rito, but I disagree
The rito have a human mouth and the top half of a beak for a nose, as well as human feet and human arms that can optionally turn into wings after receiving a scale from valoo.
Whereas these birds have a full beak with no human mouth, feathery wing arms, and clawed feet
They are similar, but very different
>>166383150
So far, we only know two of them: Kass, and that not-Falco black bird.
Kass is a minstrel. He looks like a character with minor role (just a speculation, may have major role), who will help Link to find shrines and secrets, through his singing and music.
I still don't know who is the not-Falco bird and what he does. He got a very few amount of screentime.
Apparently, they might be part of new race, since Zoras are there too. There's a possibility they might not be part of Ritos.
>daftpatriotGood taste.
>>166369756
>Woah, it's like there's no divine artifact that fulfills any wish you have once you touch it.
There would be absolutely no reason to wish for this though.
>Suggesting that not having timelines limits creativity is 'limited' on its own. How can you write that with a straight face?
Might have something to do with the fact that having one continuity means they have to stay consistent with it, they might have a better idea but if it contradicts the continuity they can't use it. That's limiting.
>>166380584
Agreed. At least when you could only see his gross drooling mouth he just looked perverse. With the helmet off, he's a magical bowling pin
>>166382329
Which meant nothing. But it was great.
>>166383553
This is a new bird
>>166373980
You don't have to be from /v/ to think /vg/ is shit, just look at any of the long-standing threads.
>>166384151
And these are old birds, which has hair and gross unfeathered skin
>>166384203
>>166384302
*flick beak*
>>166384352
How is that what I said? I'm not saying you can't like /vg/ and there are even a few good generals but people can certainly hate it if they like. Get better reading comprehension.
>>166384352
/vg/ is fine when there's games available and news to talk about. But when those dry up this board very quickly turns to shit.
>>166368991
Yeah Prismacolor to be exact. It was my first time using them which was what >>166356371 was getting at with the nose. Kinda screwed up around that area so I had to bullshit around my way in hopes of fixing it or at least making it sorta better.
Made a comparison image
BotW burds =/= Rito at all
>>166384151
ooooo
I like the new bird
>>166384984
Similar lower anatomy. Stocky legs, larger more broad torso.
>>166384984
TP Zora didn't look like OoT Zora but they were still the same species.
>>166372361
All I need to beat is OoA which I am at 6 dungeons already and LA which I am past the third dungeon for me to say that I have beaten all available Zelda games so far. Not counting Four Swords GBA. Gotta beat the release date for me to finally say this.
>>166384984
I don't know. Consider that many races change appearance over the games. Just think about how the Gerudo lady looks in BotW.
>>166385232
It seems to different to me, the rito were humans with bird features, more like harpies than birds. But these guys are more like Birds with human features, more bird than man
>>166385438
She looks pretty gerudo too me, man
>>166385591
Of course she does, but some traits like the nose look WAY different.
>>166384984
the real birds are the ones with bird feet unlike ritos
>People still can't accept the fact Zoras will breed with birdmen
>>166386042
>birds and fish
>interbreeding
STOP RACEMIXING
>>166385495
>the rito were humans with bird features
Were they? Maybe Medli but all the others looked like bird people to me. Your fanart made Komali look way more human than he did in-game, also the game was super stylized so it's hard to tell.
>>166386176
Sorry, anon. A bit of lewd fun.
>>166386176
I want to breed with eyebrows though.
>>166386287
>Were they?
They literally have human faces with beaks pasted over the nose. This dude even has a beard.
The beak is the only bird-like feature about them.
>>166386561
Have you never seen an anthropomorphic animal with human hair? You and I might have different ideas about what stylization allows you to do art design wise, to me it just looks like they shifted towards a more realistic design for BotW.
Were Zoras ever confirmed to truly evolve into the Rito? I only remember characters theorizing that's what happened to the Zora. Perhaps they were just chilling deep under the Great Sea the whole time. Maybe this new bird race is just the Rito evolving over time.
>>166386772
I honestly don't see how you could argue that these are anything but 90% humans with a bird feature or two tacked on. You're making it sound like they're anthropomorphized when they're if anything they're avianized(?) humans.
If they had wings or feathers you might have a point but...
>>166386561
They have bird feet as well
>>166382329
I liked it. Never thought it had a deeper meaning, I figured it was just meant to symbolize both main antagonists were gone for good.
Cutscenes in TP were pretty lit.
>>166386876
It was never confirmed, it was just sort of...assumed?
Rito sounds like ruto, they all have the zora crest on their robes, medli learns her song from a zora sage's ghost, etc.
It's the same reason people think koroks evolved from the kokiri because of makar learning his song from fado WHO WAS A GIRL IN OOTand a ranch hand in TP, seriously fado, get you shit together
>>166386876
I remember something along the lines of Gods transforming them in birds to avoid them to discover that Hyrule is still intact underwater
>>166384117
>>166387220
Mm, I know a lot of people theorized that having some deeper meaning but it always felt like a really cool stylistic move, even Aunuma revealed in an interview that it was just something the cutscene creator threw in on his own
>>166387276
That would be a cool explanation, actually, but I have never seen a source on it unfortunately
>>166387624
Well, yeah, what >>166387270 said makes more sense.
So I don´t know anything about timeline discussion or what ever theories are up now.
Here are 2 things I want to ask
1. Zelda with the magic arrow is probably during the endboss fight right?
2. Is the deku tree the king of hyrule? Because I rewatched the german trailer and the voice of the deku tree was the same like the "save my daughter zelda"
3. We will probably visit the dungeons for resurrecting the master sword right? Fujibayashi has done this in minish cap, skyward sword and probably will do this now in Botw.
>>166387989
>Here are 2 things I want to ask
You're asking 3.
>1. Zelda with the magic arrow is probably during the endboss fight right?
Unlikely. That's likely a flashback.
>2. Is the deku tree the king of hyrule? Because I rewatched the german trailer and the voice of the deku tree was the same like the "save my daughter zelda"
No clue. In some trailers is different, in others is similar. Nobody knows.
>3. We will probably visit the dungeons for resurrecting the master sword right? Fujibayashi has done this in minish cap, skyward sword and probably will do this now in Botw.
Maybe yes, good catch.
>>166388287
>That's likely a flashback.
Looks more like halfway through the game where she's using the goddess power or something, to me at least
>>166387153
These things are supposed to be chipmunks, it's really just a design choice.
>>166388668
Creepy little bastards
>>166388287
yeah sorry. I wanted to ask 2 but the last one just popped out.
>flashback
now when I rewatched the japanese one, it can be a flashback, because zelda is going to the great deku tree and then we see the link wake up thing
>dekutree=king
yeah in the japanese va they 2 different people. Either german one was a little bit economic or the others just could disguise it better.
Well I will just put myself into huge media black out. Get before playing so drunk that I forget everything and play.
Also if no one already pointed out: this is from the same composer of botw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuxNqoHiPGU
huge talent too bad she was mostly involved in AC, because I couldn´t hear much from her.
>tfw BoTW holds the most hype you've had for a game in years

2015/2016 had me convinced we were living in the downfall timeline. But now, I'm positive it's definitely not the downfall timeline.
>>166330324
But it's not Metroid Prime, so that's impossible.
>>166390741
What made you change idea?
>>166390926
*Super Metroid
You made a small mistake but worry not, I fixed it.
>>166334241
I enjoyed the setting and the music quite a bit. The combat was also more fun than a lot of JRPGs, though the story and characters were below anime fanfiction tier. I have. I idea why they're praised so much.

Yeah. It's about what you'd expect. I tagged out when he started obnoxiously singing over Medli and Laruto playing. It's one of the worst things about him, that he outright refuses to let himself get invested in the story. He's that guy, who acts like he's too cool to like anything. Disgusting.

The Triforce.

Man, I hope they bring back redeads, I don't think we've had them in a main console game since WW. I really want a spooky area like Ikana Canyon or Forest/Shadow temple again.
After its single appearance in OoT almost 20 years ago, I hope Dead Hand returns in glorious HD.
>>166396764
We did see some triforce symbols and statues already, isn't it?
But you are right, there haven't been any mention so far. Does Link even have a piece of triforce in his hand?

>>166397076
>I don't think we've had them in a main console game since WW
We haven't, unfortunately.
>>166397125
I feel like his design was significantly scarier because of the low-res low-polygon, it made him vague enough for you to fill in the blanks. A realistic Dead Hand would look like it was trying too hard to be scary.

The point stands. A work stands by its own merits.
Reach out to Zelda enthusiast websites and let them do the legwork.

You feel like getting any feedback? I'm a trained editor and minor-league published author. I'll give it a read.
>>166399368
Oh, yes, certainly. Among my first bases to be covered, I had to include my old haunt in some degree (though /v/ itself is not quite what it used to be, for better or worse). You may see me around now and again, but for the sake of >>166398720 and the like, I'll try to keep my samefagging to a minimum.
Normally I'd like to presume I've got more class than that, but, when in Rome...
Keep up the success!
(I never had to click so many storefronts in the old days.)
ALRIGHT EVERYONE.
WHAT'S THE WORST THING ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE ZELDA GAME.

I encourage all feedback. I'm releasing serially precisely to keep an eye on that sort of thing. Any opinions are very much appreciated.

I hope they approach the Koroks kind of like the Riddler trophies in the Arkham games, where there's a way to find out the locations of each one without looking up a guide.

Jesus fucking god alive, no. Don't do that. Fuck anon, you literally made me screw up my face at your post.

Going through your preface, I noticed a common punctuation error. Consider this sentence:
"Among the Tolkien and Salvatore and all the rest, a series of novels found their place - novels adapted from a relatively new series of video games."
Note the hyphen between "place" and "novels", filling the role of a colon. For this sort of interruption, an em dash—shown here—is necessary.
"Among the Tolkien and Salvatore and all the rest, a series of novels found their place—novels adapted from a relatively new series of video games."
I'm intrigued by your statement of purpose, though it runs a little long due to the viscosity of the language. You've clearly got a handle on your own writing voice, though, and so I'm excited to begin the story itself.
>>166402301
Thank you pal

>>166399932
it's now a meme.
But seriously I can't really say. I can list off a number of turn off's for people like constantly going to the pause screen to the water temple but me in particular don't mind them. Maybe it being considered the GOAT and crap really made sorta made me distance myself from it for a bit.
>>166401926
Why though? By hinting at the locations of the pickups, devs are forced to make the process of finding them more interesting than simply scouring every inch of the map (something that would be gruelling with a map the size of BotW), be it through incorporating puzzle solving, mini games, or combat challenges. If there are any significant rewards to finding all 900, it would be foolish for the devs not to include some sort of hint system. With that said, if the highest reward is for finding fifty or so and they're so numerous just to ensure that any player will find a decent amount of them, (which is what I expect), then none of that would be necessary.
>>166403423
Because Riddler Trophies were unfettered hide and seek shite.
Make the Koroks a "follow the breadcrumbs" style quest that takes you across the entire map. Not a "Oh, a korok" Riddler Trophy quest.

I'd like to clarify that I'm talking about the Riddler trophies in AC and AK, almost all of which were associated with a puzzle.
>>166404185
Throwing a batarang at X to unlock Y =/= a puzzle.
>>166369728
The truth is rude
>>166404185
Another thing they did was encourage you to visit every corner of the map, encouraging you to find Easter eggs and other side quest objectives.
>>166376702
Used to live on my own too. Just, well, like this anon >>166376986 said and get yourself a hobby.
>>166403935
no stop i might have afull wallet
>>166404308
At least show some tactand maybe just accept my lifestyle choices.
>>166404238
If AK's Riddler trophy puzzles don't qualify as puzzles to you, then Zelda games must also be devoid of puzzles.

It is my favorite but the fights just aren't challenging and the puzzles aren't particularly difficult either, which is a pity because I just breeze through the game then.
