Zelda: Leaks of the kingdom thread

I'm not totally against the OoT baby puzzles, but as an old head they never defined LoZ for me as they came to do for others. Since BotW is supposed to be a throwback to original LoZ values, dungeons should be an evolution of the first two games. Large, maze-like, multiple floors, dangerous enemies, with secrets (hidden doors, rooms, pathways, etc.), traps, badass music (tired of the ambient, slow tempo themes).

I never particularly liked Zelda’s puzzle design since many seemed so separate from the story

Zelda is not trying to be an immersive sim or craft a really interesting world, therefore demanding perfectly logical and consistent worldbuilding
It's just trying to be a grandiose high fantasy adventure, and it's unique approach to dungeons as always been a part of that

Zelda should be coop

Mostly agree
Although the Four Swords games and the Spirit Tracks multiplayer were pretty fun

That’s the reason why I don’t understand why they have this weapon durability system. It’s not trying to be realistic, yet adopts an annoying mechanic which mirrors an attempt at realism. Just odd. Those design beliefs also conflict with what you need to build a successful open world.

The weapon durability system is in line with the rest of the design philosophy they had when designing BOTW. They wanted to make a Zelda game that was filled with the most popular tropes so they could pull in the widest audience possible. In the case of the durability, it was taking a page out of the survival game genre (rust, minecraft). Among other things like crafting, loot hoarding, climbing towers (Ubisoft games, Skyrim), the list goes on. I hope you understand now.

The shrines were of varying quality. Some were good, most were fine, and some were terrible (those fucking motion controlled Labyrinth boards were infuriating), but regardless they definitely weren’t the main draw of the game. Proper dungeons (ideally ones that required exploration to find) would have fit the game far better.

The problem you had with the labyrinth boards are related to the fact that the game was primary developed for the Wii U only with its GamePad in mind. Among other things, the GamePad was to play like a real life representation of the ingame Sheikah slate and of course showed maps and was used for item selection.
When Nintendo later adopted and changed the main target to the Switch - they unfortunately removed almost all of the Wii U features.

With the GamePad on the Wii-U the labyrinth sections play perfectly fine.
They are indeed more difficult with the Switch Joypads.

Retarded Fanboys are all over this forum. When will they ever learn that their unconditional love for trash games is a vile and putrid thing? It is sickening to see.

Have you actually played it?

Because if I had actually played it. there's no way I would think it was shit. Is that right? Typical Fanboy ideology and cope when faced with the fact that someone else doesn't adore the same thing they do.

Yeah I played it extensively enough to have come to my final verdict that it wasn't worth the price of admission (it was a switch launch title, after all) and it wasn't worth the time investment either.

A Link+Zelda game sounds awesome

So what was trash about it? Did you think it was trash because it's not like alttp/oot? Wouldn't that make you the fanboy? You seem like an angry hateboy, I just think it's a fun game. What's going on here.

 

[Jenkem]

I can see a game where Zelda is a sidekick or maybe a walking ability (like Elika from PoP 2008).

It's called Spirit Tracks.

Finished the DLC last night on Cemo. I'd love to see a Hard mode right from the get go in the next entry with more survival mechanics to pay mind to.

 

[Ivan]

So as a personal finale, I saved the Tarrey Town quest for last as I remember completely missing out on it when i first played BOTW when I had a Wii U. What a wonderful set-off! This was a very touching side story with some wonderful music and characters <3 So long BOTW, thanks for the memories!

 

[Momock]

I really don't give a shit about the Skyward Sword remake, never played it, never wanted to. All the characters in that game looked stupid, get that stupid Olive Oyl-looking Zelda incarnation away from me. Probably not a coincidence they're pushing Skyward Sword along with BOTW2's floating islands, though.

A shame. It's only fault is only not having an open world (only it's not a bad thing) and, unfortunately, too much hand holding (probably because it has good dungeons and they were afraid that retards got blocked and pissed).

 

[<3sRichardSimmons]

Skyward Sword is hands down the worst 3D Zelda. By a country mile. The dungeons are pretty good, but everything else is fucking awful.

Can't wait

I knew those motherfuckers would go back on the 2022 release date. Nintencucks on suicide watch.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Think it should've been pretty obvious after the previous Nintendo direct that BotW2 wasn't happening this year. They would've had something more to show by now if it would.

 

[HeatEXTEND]

No problemo.

 

[SumDrunkGuy]

This will probably be the greatest game ever made. I don't say that often.

Btw has anyone played Link's Awakening? How is it?

 

[Modron]

Link's Awakening was pretty solid I remember playing it on my Gameboy during lunch in elementary school.

 

[Bruma Hobo]

Link's Awakening is a solid little game, not as ambitious than A Link to the Past but more competently done. Don't expect too much from it.

The actual classics are the NES games.

 

[Zariusz]

Its funny to think that people expected second Majoras Mask with this, new entry in series made mostly on previous game assests in quick time. Now this has development time almost as long as original BOTW and maybe in future it will be even longer.

 

[Carpincho Pampeano]

I remember getting my switch with ZBoTW and to this day i haven't finished it, will probably go back to it after i finish the post game of Xenoblade 3.

I found the Gameboy Color version (Link's Awakening DX) pretty cool when I was a kid. Don't know about the Switch remake but I don't like what they did to the graphics.
