I am at the last boss on Zelda - The Minish Cap. Zelda and Metroid are the best games series ever IMO.

the story line never gets tired, there are so many elements to the game, and yah its just so fun, I was a shut in when I got a link to the past for my snes a couple years back

zelda appreciation thread
-
The og Zelda on the NES was the game that made me really fall in love with video games. I remember I stayed up for 3 days straight to beat it. I just beat Wind Waker on the cube a couple weeks ago. I have not played the new one yet, but plan to pick it up while I am home for Christmas. Zelda and Metroid are the best games ever, it's true, esp. Super Metroid and Zelda OOT.
-
ocarina of time is the best game ever
A friend of mine is a video game tester for activision in L.A. He said that in his interview they asked him what he thought the best video game of all time was. He said Ocarina of Time. Apparently their reply was "ok good, just had to make sure you knew."
I never liked the zelda games myself. Too much thinking. I prefered Megaman, and still think Megaman 2 is the best game ever. You get multiple weapons to switch out, there is strategy to beating the game, but in the end, its still a scroller, and I fucking love scroller games.

the castlevania series is better than megaman in my opinion, not including the 3d ones though, they sucked.

Guys who played Megaman and Castlevania and couldn't figure out Zelda, were guys who grew up to molest little children and finger themselves.

link to the past, for super nintendo, was the best zelda ever. i seriously played through that so many times
oh yeah, anybody into final fantasy games? 2 and 3 for super nintendo are actually probably the best games i have ever played. 7 for playstation was pretty cool too..

My dad became so obsessed with playing Zelda: A link to the past when it first came out. All he would do was play that game. It got so bad he started skipping work to play it. Before work, on his lunch breaks and after work he'd play so hard that he would forgot to cook us kids dinner (nearly tore the family apart). He even wrote his own walkthrough(complete with maps and weapons sketches).

Woah didnt know about this!

Let's get down to it.
Is Skyward Sword trash?
-
So I played the new links awakening last night for a couple hours and let me tell you, that shit lags when you’re running around the outer world, especially when cutting grass and bushes. it bogs down consistently when exiting buildings. I’m hoping they do a day one release patch.
It’s crazy to see this was approved like this, how did they not test this shit?
Other than the lag, the game looks and feels really good, very fun so far. They have a weird tilt shift blur on the screen so the top and bottom are out of focus and that’s kinda annoying but it’s cool and adds to the look I guess. I didn’t try the dungeon creator yet but have heard mixed things.

One of the worst 3D zeldas, however given the quality of the franchise it's hard to match up to other entries. It's like a 6-7/10 among mostly 9's. If it weren't compared to other zeldas I think it'd be remembered more fondly. The hub world that sucks, the robotic sounding fairy that won't stop with hints and the meh waggle combat all bog it down.

bumping this since I just started playing Zelda: Twilight Princess
coming fresh off a OOT playthrough this game feels immediately familiar, put ~11 hrs in the past week or so and got through two temples. trying to complete it without a walkthrough.
I can see how the developer for WW carried over some aspects (like the music being mostly MIDI/Synth) into a OOT style world. graphics aren't bad either on the GC version, might be my favorite Zelda game, can't believe I never played it in 06 but glad I am.

Arguably the best game in the series next to Majora's Mask. Been holding on to the hopes of coming across a Wii and a copy, but not going to hold my breath.

Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword are the only 3D Zelda games that I've only played through once each. I got the SS remaster and have been enjoying myself which makes me want to revisit TP even though it's quite a slow burn.

Holy hell, out of curiosity I bought a switch and "Zelda - Breath of the wild" and I have to say it's fucking good.
If we only had this when we were kids. This game really is what we dreamt of as kids and would always fantasize about an open world Zelda.

I thought OOT was way better. Everything about BOTW was so exhausting to me, moving around the map and completing quests was such a time sink. Also getting arrows was a huge pain in the ass.

I’ve gone down this YT rabbit hole of watching OOT get 100% beaten… don’t think i even beat it as a kid. Brings back great memories though.

Just finished a link between worlds, and that was incredible having grown up on a link to the past totally familiar and yet different enough to be totally enjoyable. It felt way easier than lttp, but it was great.
Now back to a playthrough of twilight princess I put on hold, then finishing botw. I’m finding botw amazing, but I find myself wishing for a classic temple. Not exactly a complaint, I just really enjoy proper dungeons. I haven’t played any Zelda in a while and now I have a stack of games to catch up on.
Anyone played phantom hourglass, or spirit tracks? How were they?

I'm very much in the minority where I kinda like spirit tracks and Phantom hourglass. As long as you don't expect too much they're enjoyable. It's really mostly puzzle solving. They do suffer a bit from having to travel around so much tho.

Yeah sure,
On NES Zelda 2 isn’t as good as Legend of Zelda
On N64 Majora’s Mask isn’t as good as OoT
On GameCube Twighlight Princess isn’t as good as Wind Waker
And kind of a stretch but on the Wii Skyward Sword isn’t as good as the Wii version of Twighlight Princess.

I know I'm being pedantic as heck but technically TOTK will be the first exclusive Switch Zelda, if we're ranking Twilight Princess versions. But that's an interesting perspective I haven't thought about before.
Either way I try to go into these games as an isolated experience. BOTW was probably the most mesmerizing gaming experience I've had as an adult and I'm not expecting to have that same experience again. But I know I'm gonna enjoy myself.

Took 5/12 off to buy this game at launch. Luckily its payday and a Friday for a 3 day Zelda weekend
Been juggling baby duties with the s/o between work, skating, and relaxing/gaming but this release has us both hyped, so the I imagine one of these is gonna take a back seat.
I'm just fiending for some legit dungeons/temples
-
Pre-ordered mine for Friday delivery. I work from home, so hopefully it comes early and I fuck off all day to play Zelda. Thinking of moving the extra TV into my office.
-
just submitted my preorder too! paid extra $10 for release day delivery from Target.
I played BOTW last night for the first time in over two years and knocked out a few side quests. Truly one of the best games I've ever played. It's so fun trying to discover new recipes I haven't made yet! And find more Korok seeds of course
-
my friend pre ordered it for my birthday a long time ago, obv it got pushed, and today is the day. i keep texting him if its at his house so I can swing by and grab it. he invited me to a stupid fucking bonfire at his house today. like, fuck off.
-
The first time you down down into the depths is legit terrifying.
Also, I got distracted heading to the temple of time at the very beginning and traversed all of the great sky islands before figuring it out. Wasted four hours and died like 30 times. Finished every fight without fused weapons. Lol.
So far I’m in love with this game and cannot wait to really dig into exploring and progressing the story.

I am getting to the point it feels like a chore to play this game to be honest... I dont like having to constantly look stuff up and its too easy to miss where you are supposed to go. Like I am on the flying boss now... so you are supposed to go to this village, talk to the elder, then find this guy Teba. so I went looking for him and the guard outside the village says "go to the flight range he is there" and tells you how to get there. so i went there and he wasnt there... OK now im super confused. So I found out you acutally need to go talk to the guy's wife first and reveal a memory... terrible game design.
Also now this dungeon I am in, I borught like 30 min worth of frost repellant, but the puzzles take a bit to figure out. so i play through like 3/4 of the dungeon, then i have to load all the way back to the beginning and re-do everything quickly. thats not super fun to me tbh to replay something just for the sake of making it harder, especailly in the context of a puzzle that you have already solved.
I also can't play this game with my Hori Split pads sometimes because certain parts you need to tilt the joy cons for different puzzles etc. and these dont have the gyro functionality. My joycons drift like crazy and makes the game even more frustrating to play cause your guy is constatly running off tight ledges or drifting while aiming

If you're talking about the temple that's unbearably cold there are a lot more efficient ways to deal with that.

I love BOTW but I can't comprehend how Nintendo makes a game for a specific system that doesn't have the "right" requirements. When I entered the Korok forest for the first time it felt like those times where I installed a game that my pc couldn't handle
Edit: don't get me wrong the game looks amazing and I can't wait to catch a good deal

Running just fine for me. Remarkably better than the newer Pokemon games.

Like I am on the flying boss now... so you are supposed to go to this village, talk to the elder, then find this guy Teba. so I went looking for him and the guard outside the village says "go to the flight range he is there" and tells you how to get there. so i went there and he wasnt there... OK now im super confused. So I found out you acutally need to go talk to the guy's wife first and reveal a memory... terrible game design.
Also now this dungeon I am in, I borught like 30 min worth of frost repellant, but the puzzles take a bit to figure out. so i play through like 3/4 of the dungeon, then i have to load all the way back to the beginning and re-do everything quickly. thats not super fun to me tbh to replay something just for the sake of making it harder, especailly in the context of a puzzle that you have already solved.
I also can't play this game with my Hori Split pads sometimes because certain parts you need to tilt the joy cons for different puzzles etc. and these dont have the gyro functionality. My joycons drift like crazy and makes the game even more frustrating to play cause your guy is constatly running off tight ledges or drifting while aiming

I’ve been playing for botw for weeks with this cheap pad and it’s been a blast. I’ve just been doing side quests and killing guardians with perfect parry and lynels for fun. Almost all my armor is fully powered up. Only did the elephant as far as main quest is concerned and am more than happy with this.
Edit: the other day I was switching arrows because I ran out of regular arrows and finally noticed that I had accumulated almost 500 shock arrows from killing the lion centaurs. Had to laugh at myself.

It's a technical marvel they can even get games like these to work on the Switch as well as they do
But yeah, it's similar to BOTW and has some lag

Yuzu and Ryujinx emulation is coming along nicely, even with mid tier CPUs (i5) and GPU (2060), considering getting a Steam Deck or gaming laptop to play TotK while traveling for work.

If money isn't a concern that new Asus Ally looks pretty great, runs on Windows instead of Linux
I'm about to go to Vegas tomorrow but when I come back I'm going to try to get this setup on my PC, hopefully I can transfer saves somehow. My Switch isn't hacked though so I don't know if I can.

Lots of fun moments so far.
Combat has its challenges. Definitely died a bit on the same battle.
Ascending through a boulder battle to attack the core.
Trying to glide over an island pre hang glider and missing it.
Unsticking the balloon you ride up with Impa in
Discovering wells
Figuring out the chasm pits
Putting together botched vehicles that can’t be steered
Finding previously saved BOTW horses at the stable
Blowing up rock installations with a fused bomb flower and arrows.
Somebody over the weekend mentioned fusing a cart to their shield and it became a skateboard
-
NO SPOILERS TOTK
its really fun & the shrines are decently challenging + have multiple creative solutions you can use to solve them
im only 10 hours in, but the only outfits i have are recycled from BOTW, so im very bummed about that

I was eyeing the Asus Ally too, but local pricing at $1k USD for the base model is off putting. The ease of Windows OS would be helpful to get Yuzu / Ryujinx / Cemu going, and I can envision myself running it docked as my home console with Steam games.
But with the Steam Deck and Asus Ally my biggest concern will be limited CPU and GPU capacity, especially with Switch emulators which demand more CPU / GPU. And playing AAA PC games will be limited by the hardware.
I'm considering the Asus Flow Z13, which is a gaming tablet with an i7 and 3050, entry level gaming PC stuff but should handle TooK with ongoing patches / optimization. The tablet form factor appeals to me too, I've been traveling more for work recently and portability is key. My work laptop is a 15.6" workstation, even a slim gaming laptop (Asus X13, Asus G14) would add a lot of weight to the equation. Hence the consideration of a Steam Deck / Asus Ally / Asus Gaming Tablet.

The jailbreak process is really easy if you have a gen1 switch. I highly recommend doing it bc I’ve already been using save file editors from GitHub to get items/extra hearts/full stamina
It definitely improves gameplay for me

It's the BOTW map in large part, and it lags in the same places BOTW lagged, along with some new places which tax its 9(?) year old processor. But overall, Nintendo did a great job optimizing everything and it runs very well.

its really fun & the shrines are decently challenging + have multiple creative solutions you can use to solve them
im only 10 hours in, but the only outfits i have are recycled from BOTW, so im very bummed about that
The shrines are one of the biggest improvements. Shrines in BOTW often felt like this arduous chore you had to painstakingly complete. I ended up looking at a guide to do a lot of them. With TOTK, I've done probably 30-40 shrines (I've played an embarrassing amount, as I promised I would) and they've most all been fun to solve.

The shrines seem to be more open-ended on the solution, which i think is helpful and keeps the pace of the gameplay loop consistent. I only came across one I couldn't figure out first try, but I was also pretty buzzed and tired. Realized the trick as soon as I booted it up the next day.
I think its pretty awesome how the new abilities are so robust and versatile, and the devs put minimal restraints on how to implement them. Ex, ascending through the Constructs and Talus', fusing springs to shields and rockets for super jumps, build a huge bridge and get tf over it, plus the actual exploits that the real nerds have been figuring out.
I already love this game. They took everything I loved about BOTW and made it better. I can't really think of anything they've done worse.

Got the game running on my PC last night but it's a bit stuttery, I went with Ryujinx but might try Yuzu to see if it's better. Messed with every setting I could but still had at least a bit of stutter, enough that I would rather play on Switch.
If I can get it stable I'll probably try the jailbreak. Do you have to back up all your data first?

Need to give Breath of the Wild another shot. Got hung up on navigating the environment as the story branches off and usually not big on crafting/cooking in games outside of like Bethesda games. But I know the quality’s there so it’s clearly just me.
I am getting to the point it feels like a chore to play this game to be honest... I dont like having to constantly look stuff up and its too easy to miss where you are supposed to go. Like I am on the flying boss now... so you are supposed to go to this village, talk to the elder, then find this guy Teba. so I went looking for him and the guard outside the village says "go to the flight range he is there" and tells you how to get there. so i went there and he wasnt there... OK now im super confused. So I found out you acutally need to go talk to the guy's wife first and reveal a memory... terrible game design.
Also now this dungeon I am in, I borught like 30 min worth of frost repellant, but the puzzles take a bit to figure out. so i play through like 3/4 of the dungeon, then i have to load all the way back to the beginning and re-do everything quickly. thats not super fun to me tbh to replay something just for the sake of making it harder, especailly in the context of a puzzle that you have already solved.
I also can't play this game with my Hori Split pads sometimes because certain parts you need to tilt the joy cons for different puzzles etc. and these dont have the gyro functionality. My joycons drift like crazy and makes the game even more frustrating to play cause your guy is constatly running off tight ledges or drifting while aiming
If you're talking about the temple that's unbearably cold there are a lot more efficient ways to deal with that.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
I just went back to the village and bought a coat... i am an idiot
i just beat that boss ez using the bomb arrows
starting to actually like this game a bit more now i am a bit more powered up and not dying to everything so quickly

You make the data backup during the jailbreak process, you can watch YouTube tutorials on how to do that. Hit me in the dms if you need help explain how it all works

Agreed, that was awful. So far, no motion controls. The shrines do integrate a lot of Link's "special" features, but in TOTK this feels to me more natural and organic than it did in BOTW.

Seeing everyone get creative with their inventions is both exhilarating and stressful for me, I'm not very creative so I'll probably stick to a car or a rocket 90% of the time.
-
I'm mostly the same way, but I've been dipping my toe into the building the past handful of hours.
I keep it simple most of the time, but using little tricks like putting a cart under a wing for easier take offs, always having a stack of steering sticks, and keeping rigs/inventions mellow enough to be disposable are really nice for getting around.
Its kind of a random find so minor SPOILER ALERT
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I just started playing yesterday morning but am still on sky island. Building stuff is gonna get pretty wild I think. BOTW was my first Zelda so I was pretty pumped when I saw that this was out.

I was skeptical at first, but now I am a full-on convert to TOTK. BOTW was already basically the best game ever and they somehow managed to dramatically improve upon it. I have played an embarrassing amount.
-
I'm clocking in my hours on TotK, not a fan of the building mechanics yet since it can be a pain to line up the parts properly before attaching. Just got my paraglider and it's so fun to have that thing back in my toolkit.
-
I really can't see myself going back to play BOTW now.
Still impressed with this game.
Here are some updates
- Enjoyed figuring out the Korok Forest
- Having autobuild became a super clutch/convenient tool to use
- Still finding shrines with ease
- Choosing to not consult a guide until I have korok seeds left.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

like others have said, BOTW was an amazing game, and yet this is even better!
I'm at 60 hours so far and loving it. the zonai devices are fun to mess around with, the shrines are better, being able to explore the sky islands + depths adds so much more playtime and adventure.
fusing weapons with materials to make them more powerful is a huge gamechanger.

"You know what would make this halberd ever better? Another halberd!"
I still prefer having dedicated bomb / ice / electric arrows but attaching different materials to arrows on the fly has made for some clutch moments.
Favorite moment so far was approaching a group of bokoblins at an outpost, only for the outpost to become a stone talus with the music kicking in.

That's my favorite thing to do on my 2nd playthrough. Makes you more tuned to the visuals and environment.
What is everyone's favorite enemy? I enjoy fighting the Like Likes, the combat loop on them is pretty fun, plus decent drops for a fairly easy mob. Lynels are still a nice challenge, seems like they didn't spawn as many in grass so you can't get the updraft-to-arrow-to-the-face critical combo as easily.
Defeated my first Electric Gleeok last night, they aren't so tough when you spam Ice Keese eyeballs and have the Master Sword.
Side bar confession...I have more hours put into my first run of TOTK than total of BOTW...
-
Had this a couple weeks before it came out just started playing it today. It seems good so far. Very easy to emulate and runs well on my PC. I got my daughter some anime game she wanted and it also runs great. How long did it take you guys to beat?

I bought it on release date and have 150+ hours still haven't made it to the credits. I'm basically at the 3rd act of the story, but stopped pushing ahead once I got the first temples done.

I’ve played it a ton and am nowhere near to finishing it. Haven’t really even tried - I have mostly been exploring and unlocking shrines, equipment, etc. Beating the game at this stage seems entirely uninteresting to me.

I still don’t have the Master Sword, but I’ve got a few 5x Lynel bows and I’ve been able to make quick work of them by using a rocket shield to raise up and then blasting the three heads in bullet time. Stick an eyeball into the arrow if they’re some distance away, and I can bring them down in a minute or two.

Just beat the wind temple yesterday. Getting there was one of the most “exhilarating” experiences I’ve had in a video game. The fear of falling was too real, and I’m sitting on my couch

Not gonna spoil it, but I did the Master Sword quest this weekend and it was such a moment.

Bought TOTK to motivate me to finish BOTW. I guess I’m done wandering around.

BOTW is pretty easy to "beat", but finishing the game is another question all together. I'd say I stopped playing at like 80-90% complete, a few years ago, right after I got the motorcycle. A lot of people have already beat TOTK, but it definitely takes longer to play through the story.
-

I never really gave a shit about the story in Zelda games (yeah, go defeat Ganon, got it) but the Master Sword storyline in this game kinda made me care a little bit.
The overall plot is a lot darker and more fleshed out than most prior entries though.
-
I just beat my third temple but have not been in a rush at all. I, same as everyone else, just spend hours and hours doing side quests and exploring and gathering shit. Master sword might be my next thing to do if the story is as good as everyone is saying. I loved the Dragon's Tears quest so fingers crossed it's as good if not better than that one was.
-
alright so what's the DLC gonna look like?
I feel as if there is SOOO much that needs to be added to the sky.

More sky islands, more Zonai parts, another temple/dungeon or two, a couple new questlines, new gear, new mobs and monster parts are on my wishlist
Edit: while i was playing last night, I could see a homestead update happening. All of the houses available to Link (in this version of Hyrule) are all in Neculda/Akkala.
I want a house in the electric forest of Farosh or in Central Hyrule!

The ability to create your own rail systems would be dope.

Just rolled credits at 115 hours of playtime, such a solid game - haven’t sunk this amount of time into a single game in years.
Will probably give it a break for a few weeks and then pick it up to find the remaining 10 or so shrines and explore the last of the depths.

No, same deal as BOTW - kicks you back to your last save before the final boss battle. No spoilers but it makes sense to do it, plot lines get wrapped up pretty nicely during the final cutscenes.

Finished it a week or two ago, can confirm the story is tied up with a nice, tidy bow.
The final boss is just another testament to the quality and care they put into this game.
