Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Fuck that rupee intro reset every time you quit Twilight Princess. And fuck the abundance of chests that looked identical to item and heart piece chests containing rupees. The Lakebed Temple was a nightmare due to the sheer abundance of fancy looking chests with nothing other than rupees in them. Rupees you couldn't hold because your wallet is permanently full.

Wrong video. Nevermind.
Even then, all those cutscenes are exactly what he said, short and to the point. Is it going to kill you to see that box fly away every once in a while?
Lord Ghirahim said:
My bad I read too fast, I was just talking about the ridiculously annoying amounts of text boxes that accompany picking up shit tleling you every little detail about them even if youve already found one of those before, like maps and compasses and shit. Cutscenes for chests arent a big deal for me. As long as its only big chests that do the whole big reveal and not the little ones also Im fine.

Link must have a poor memory, I guess. But that rupee intro everytime you quit TP got a little grating after a while.Chet Rippo said:
And speaking of rupees, perhaps upgrading items is a way to fix the rupee overabundance in the quest?
TP remedied that with the Magic Armour.
TWW remedied that with Tingle swindling you to translate maps.
MM "remedied" that with the bank and heart pieces, kinda.
I just hate leaving chests unopened.

Oh god every time I'm reminded of this "OoT was LttP with polygons" thing it actually makes me angry. Or sad. I guess I'm trying to say it confuses me.Crumpet Trumpet said:
EatChildren said:Finished the Arbiters Ground, which in retrospect might be my favourite dungeon in the entire series. It's soaked in atmosphere, has great puzzles, the Spinner is a bitchin' item, it mixes up both adult Link and wolf play, and the two bossfights (Death Sword and Stallord) are really awesome. Like most of Twilight Princess the ease works against it, but I still love it. Here's more shots than anybody asked.
Would have loved to see some hi-res of Zant using magic. I love TP particle effects/magic.
I replayed Link's Awakening recently, and that game is full of unskippable stuff that's really annoying.Lord Ghirahim said:
That together with the key hint thing you get every time you get a compass, the description every time you get and acorn or a sword power-up, every time you touch a green crystal, every time you touch a block of ice and loads of other stuff really got on my nerves. I would say that Link's Awakening is the king of annoying and unskippable information of every little object.

I never knew just how messed up Zants hands were up until now.

The way it should be. Those comparison shots posted earlier look MUCH worse.
I am now going to rebuild my PC for Dolphin+WW/TP and TOR.

OH? WHAT A WEIRD OBJECT! THERE MUST BE SOME WAY TO TACKLE THIS OBSTACLE.
LINK CHECKED THE CHEST. WOW, THIS IS A NICE CHEST! (wtf)
Side note: Link's Awakening has a surprisingly nice localization for an early 90s Game Boy game.

They definitely kept a bunch of humor in the game -- humor that didn't really exist in Legend of Zelda and was barely there in Zelda II.Electivirus said:

There was that one chest in a water pump room that you couldn't reach until after you got the clawshot, and you had no reason to ever return to that room otherwise. I remember making my way up the waterslide to the top of that room again and getting to the chest and getting five fucking rupees from it. Come on.EatChildren said:
I didn't mind that so many chests contained rupees or that you couldn't always take them with you, but that's just trolling.
Well you actually had to press A for that one.Electivirus said:

I actually have a friend like this. Loves Zelda but wont play any of the 2D games because... they're 2D.
It hurts my brain whenever I think about it.
Also those 3 in 1 controller things are great, I use one for Dolphin. No idea if they support wavebirds but I'd think they would. However they dont support rumble on the standard controllers.

I had a brilliant idea. What if they had a lore book that recorded every new item that you pick up, and to find out what it does, you just go look in the book. That way, it's optional! Maybe you could also find carvings and such that you could read about.
I was just thinking about Metroid Prime, and how it had the log book. I always liked going and reading about stuff I had scanned.

Thanks for bursting my bubble. I still like the idea of finding additional lore.
Edit: Even then, it could just pop up a message in game that says you have a new log. It wouldn't have to disrupt gameplay.

If Zelda had a Xenoblade-like Collectopedia, I would take forever to beat the game. It happened with FFXII too. I made a point to fill the encyclopedia out as much as I could before moving on, lol.TheCongressman1 said:
I like the idea being implemented in Zelda, though. It'd help out with the lore at least.

The description shows up every single time you pick them up instead of just the first time.
