Yeah, I think the argument that "Zelda fans would complain about it" shouldn't be taken too seriously. I'll tell you something you already know: Zelda fans complain about EVERYTHING. 4chanMiyamoto.jpg is a silly pic taken from a Zelda hivemind way of thinking, but no matter what Nintendo does, some people just aren't gonna like it. There is no universally agreed upon standard for all things Zelda, now and forever. If you make the changes right, you'll win over more people then the ones you lose or piss off.

Pre-5th dungeon stuff: Holy shit

I didn't even mind Moldarch's return. I was just going "oh okay whatever Fi, there's a switch or chest under the sand wait what is THA OH SHIT" and I actually found the Moldarch fight a fun motion control thing sooooo

All you're displaying is your lack of attention span.

My guess is some have an anti-motion control agenda from the getgo and others don't like learning curves with controls no matter how low they are.
It's fine if they genuinely give you a problem and you express it but some act like they were poorly implemented and for the most part, they are exactly what I could have hoped for and quite responsive.

Uh...huh.
I take no issue with you disliking a game. It just seems stupidly immature to claim that no one should like it in the face of what you consider better experiences.
Though, I suppose if you want proof I've played Dark Souls and Skyrim, I can provide that. But I'm not sure what that gets you other than looking like a fool.

the Skipper's Retreat house, my first thought was "Hey Pipit I found your dad."

Talk to the Groose's short flunky standing on the in-side door of the bottom floor of the academy. You can either do what he asks or give the paper to the person in the restroom.

You like Trigun.

I finally started playing the game last night. The intro was better than TP, but suffers because... they didn't go all the way, I guess? Like, they wanted to evoke a bunch of feelings, but certain things they do get in the way. Like no one ever being anywhere. This ceremony is a big deal, but only Zelda shares it with you. I dunno. Hey whatever, I finally got to the surface. Time for game.
Zelda games should never have voice acting ever. There is absolutely, positively no way that there is going to be a universally agreed upon choice for the characters in the universe to sound like that will appeal to the majority. It would do way more harm than good. Aside form the fact that they'd have to get Japanese and English speaking voice actors there would be such a huge disconnect between regions and I think a lot of the appeal and charm of the series is its universal friendliness.
Just imagine Steve Blum doing the voice of Ganondorf and Jennifer Hale doing the voice of Zelda because it's not really like there's a whole lot of diversity when it comes to North American voice actors. I guess Nolan North could do Link.

I always like the "A BILLIONS HOURS TO GET GOOD NO THANK YOU" argument because it assumes so many things that usually aren't true unless the game is literally Final Fantasy XIII.

Another baseless assumption
And even that's a lie, because that game NEVER gets good

It has the better bug collecting.
I finished the entire game in 31 hours
temple 3, 20 hours in? yeah fucking right. Maybe if that person is blind and missing an arm.

Sidequest Question
So I have cleaned Pipit's house a few times and his mom keeps mentioning to go say hi if I see him on patrol. Next time I talk to him though in the knight academy he never says something new or acknowledges that I have cleaned the house and when I go back to his house it is all dusty again and capable of being cleaned once more. I feel like I am missing something here?
No that's it done
There is another scene at night if you approach their house but you already have the gratitude Crystal and you can just repeat the task for rupees

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
It would be nice if people didn't call you out when you're being offensively silly huh? People like the game and that doesn't mean they're fanboys. Deal with it. Not everyone is or should be compatible with you. Just say you hate the game and leave it at that, there's no good reason to imply the opinion of others is worth less, is less objective (lol?), is hiding some bias outside the quality of the game and the actual fun they're having or not having, or whatever else, for whatever reason. None.

So there is nothing else with Pipit? I saw a few people around here say his sidequest stuff was cool earlier in the thread but that stuff I did didn't really involve him at all.
There is another quest with him involved
the love letter one with Cawlin

I...what?
I think I may have discussed the analog stick before, but I've certainly never said the other thing. You seem kind of upset.
And I'll respond to whatever I like, thanks.

Alright, thanks for the info.
the pirate ship in the larynyu sea reminds me A LOT of the pirate ship in the desert in Oracle of Ages. Wasn't that by the same director as SS? heh
I beat Demise with no shield, fairies or potions. FUCK YEAH
It's weird how I never felt this way with TP. Of course, they would need to get good voice actors.
The spoiler threads has unmarked ending spoilers (it's meant for those who beat the game), so you'd better avoid that one.
Anyway,you unlock the black chests by using the skyward strike on the Goddess Cubes below the clouds.
The greek letter phi is pronounced "fee" as well
About that black chests thing:
Interesting, I thought that only made islands appear.
I don't think you can acquire the Hylian Shield in the base game, pretty sure you have to wait until Hero Mode where you actually fight Ghirahim and Demise in boss rush mode.
I need to win 8 rounds to get the Hylian Shield. Considering the number of boss there's in this game, I think I'm good.

Question about a item. Spoilers so enter at your own risk.
So do those heart metals count as extra heart pieces or do you need them for max health(As in 20 hearts no 22).

Yes, max.

I didn't particularly mind it, but it felt cheap regardless, especially since you're getting the motherfucking Triforce in such an anticlimactic manner. OoT is the only game out of those that've used that style of final dungeon that I really liked because it still managed to feel like a completely new experience.

*Final dungeon spoilers*
At least there was the return of robo pirate guy as a miniboss, I enjoy fighting that pile of scrap. But until you mentioned it I didn't really take note of the lack of a boss, it took me so long to finally make a path to the triforce of Wisdom with it's one entry point room that I was all too eager to leave
I wonder if we'll see Speed-Runs for that. I'm sure there "THAT" way that makes the dungeon like 15 minutes long.
