why is ganon a giant pink terribly designed blob of shit that doesn't even say anything

i'm sorry, "calamity ganon", and lets not forget his friends "evil volvagia" "very bad twinrova" and "i destroy things agahnim"

I feel they had no idea with what to do with Ganon and just kind of shoe-horned him in because Zelda needs a bad guy named Ganon(dorf).

They are kind of at an end with the character though, take in how Ganondorf has only appeared in 3 mainline games- and he is effectively dead in both of those respective timelines and we will most likely never see him again.

If the reincarnation thing is true, I think Nintendo is retiring Ganon here- they did kind of write themselves into a corner. There's only so many times Ganon can be revived.
 
Currently trying to get through to Lost Woods, this is infuriating.

That one was tough. The hints are probably the most subtle until you notice it, then it becomes quite signposted.


My favourite challenge so far is the unique island challenge that takes away all of your gear. It's Survival Game Redux.
 
You'll get a good game with good graphics and actual fun gameplay in the form of BOTW sequels and you'll like it.
Thats the problem...
other than DLC I don't think Nintendo will.

I fear they will wrap up this and then go to make a completely different Zelda like they always have.

Thats why I said get another team if they need to because there is too much potential there to leave it.
Straightforward sequel
Majora styled spinoff/sequel
4 swords type game
a sequel using time travel to fix the timeline of 100years ago(this could either be classic style of Link and Zelda inhabiting their old roles
or them physically going back disguised and secretly helping their previous selves)(Zelda disguised as Sheik, Link as a knight similar to the Hero's Shade)

It could go anywhere really.
 
The bandana hat which increases climbing speed should have been the standard speed.

I've not seen the end game battle yet but i'm already feeling let down from what i'm hearing.

Also watching streams it's amazing how many people don't realise they are too cold or too hot then blame the game on something stupid.

They explicitly leave the door open to him returning in the ending. Watch it again, he is not dead.
 
Sadly im expecting MM Young Link which is a massive missed opportunity.
FD Link would probably be the most sought-after Amiibo.

That would be a bummer. FD Link is in need of some merch while Young Link and regular green tunic Links in general get more then enough merchandise love. I'd love an amiibo line of Zelda characters besides the mains too. I wish Hyrule warriors got an amiibo line.

I wanted an Amiibo line for that the second it and Amiibo were revealed.
Even repeats of Link, Zelda and Sheik would be fine because the designs were so great.

At the very least I would love a Mipha Amiibo from this.

I really wonder what TP Link Amiibo will be considering he was already done with Smash Bros,
Hero's Shade could be an interesting Amiibo.

Would at least be nice if he was in one of the alternate armors or swinging the ball & chain or just something other then Link with the master sword again.
 
Hyrule Warriors is racist and sexist now? The fuck
Look at Cia's design. The evil version turns sexualized and magically has darker skin, darker skin=evil. That's subtly racist AF and a well overused trope. Anyway, fuck that game. Here's the legacy outfits.

You can get the dark link costume inside the game, so i think not every costume will be exclusive. If you use the costume at night, link's speed will increase.
 
I think the racist overtone thing is you strentching. I don't think the developers were even thinking in that way since in Team Ninja games the black characters are really well shown. Lisa and Zack are very positive characters.
 
Very simple question: does Ganondorf, specifically Ganondorf and not Ganon, appear in this game?

Just a simple yes or no will be fine. The reason I want to know is because the depiction of the hero on the historic tapestry doesn't bear even the slightest resemblance to Link. They're green with long red hair. That character looks like Ganondorf.

And I don't want to play the whole game anticipating a possible twist, which would be cool as fuck to see payoff, if this is not the case.

I would appreciate if somebody could briefly indulge me. I have a bad habit of making guesses of how stories like this go and liking my own version better than the real one. I would prefer not to do that this time.
 
And after Other M Team Ninja can fuck off into the ether before trying to touch this series. Let the newer Nintendo devs responsible for a lot of the major changes continue working on it.

Team Ninja has nothing to do with Other M's failings. They only helped design the gameplay, which was honestly the only salvageable part of that mess. Don't know how involved they were in level design, tho, since that was trash as well.

To be fair that is a trope. It tends to be less overtly "dark skin is evil", but more like "dark skin is sexy and exotic" and dark skinned women characters tend to wear revealing clothing which goes with "evil is sexy" aspect of character designs (e.g. Cia).

Also, Lisa works for OG!DOATEC/MIST, is super evil and has no personality to speak of (and is also a woman in a DoA game) and Zack is a walking stereotype-cum-creeper-cum-comic relief. I wouldn't immediately call those character positive. Or necessarily negative, I guess. God knows reductionist language like that can paint everything bad, and you can have well written and presented characters with those descriptions but I wouldn't champion those two as "positive".

But I digress.

so you can eat the little fairies?

You can select to cook them (!) but they will just enchant your food and fly away.

No.
 
So... I climbed a mountain and there was a giant dragon eyes on it. I shot one eye and now it's flying up even higher. Wtf do I do.

Looks like I'm buying my first Amiibo because that looks amazing.
 
Dudes, did you notice how the Death Mountain area has one track that's Ganon's Lair from Zelda 1?

Edit: I'd legit pay money for those outfits, sans amiibo. They all look amazing
 
So when vampires have lighter skin is that racist too?
False equivalency as vampires being pale have everything to do with the fact that doiii a common narrative conceit is how little they're exposed to the sun. -__- Nice try tho.

I was legitimately convinced that it'd be impossible to render Ocarina of Time Link without his gloves and stuff looking goofy, Nintendo proved me wrong, shame that you have to buy an Amiibo and can only get one piece per day instead of them being locked away in chests. :| That's seriously a deal breaker as I have no interest in those figures and would prefer finding them in special shrines.
 
The other one with all the gear on it, is so much better.

The other one is officially the Hylian set, I guess. I agree most of the armor sets look cooler than the Tunic of the Wild, but I think it's a nice callback to the old games. I'll probably wear it with longer trousers, though.
