The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

A steel horse bothering itself alone? I'm game!

otm

Now, if you could play *as* a steel horse, that would be, as they say, a game changer.

it was raining when i got to the ancient lab so i ended up wandering off and beating 50 shrines and getting the master sword before i came back and realized i could upgrade my bombs

can i make the steel horse jump up and down on my head, infinitely?

it was raining when i rode this
steel horse into some ass-face play

now, at last, i am alive

just a matter of time before the phrase "steel anus" showed up on this thread

Peter Steele of Type O Negative is chuckling in the afterlife.

the arc of the ilx thread is long but it bends towards the phrase ‘steel anus’

i am genuinely surprised that it hasn't been used on ilx until now. good to finally get that one on the board

ILX worst mentions

you've all disappointed me greatly

i've a mind like a steel anus -- i never forget an opinion, which are themselves like anuses -- everybody's got one.

master cycle fuel can't melt steel anuses

"I'm a cowboy, on a steel ... "

...horse i ride
and the anus (ANEEUUUHUHUS)
is also steel

howdy do. this is peter mccallister, the father. I'd like a hotel room please, with an extra large bed, a TV, and one of those jewel shitting stainless steel anuses designed by jony ive. credit card? You got it.

i'm sorry i said anything about the ... thing

appreciate the apology, lukas. not sure if i can move on from it, but i'm willing the try. you'll understand that i fp'd you as a first step toward righting some of the wrongs unleashed here by you over the last 24 hours.

"willing the try" is a phrase from rugby btw, in case you aren't smart

how do I know if I'm smart? no don't answer that anus man

you are smart, lukas. I did a typo and made a lie to cover it up like the flesh on a steel horse. Now I am the one who is sorry.

but also

i'm on my second playthrough, using a horse and trying to stick mainly to the main roads this time. it's quite refreshing!

also this game has spoiled every other video game for me. i tried playing dragon quest xi after playing this and i was like what the fuck

i love how a lizalfos reacts when you wear the lizalfos mask

I’m back doing the DLC. I love the map that shows you everywhere you’ve been - I’m trying to visit every spot i missed. Mostly they’re just hills and the occasional korok, but I’m really hungry for places to explore right now (for some reason). Wondering what it’ll feel like if I just start from scratch.

yeah that map is cool

i played master mode a bit and the monsters regenerating their health might be a dealbreaker, its one thing to have them be just more difficult idk

the regeneration is really brutal, you have to avoid avoid avoid or peel out one at a time. I'm not sure master mode is fun, I started a master mode file ages ago but I haven't been back to it

has anyone noticed that the glockenspiel / bell sound in the Kakariko Village music is quoting the Kakariko Village music from A Link To The Past?

Theres a few neat callbacks like that! The music referred to as "house" which plays when you visit Selmie the snowboarder in her little hut, is a very slow version of the inside-house music from Occarina/Windwaker.

Yeah the fragmented elements on the main world theme have entranced me, the way that "riding a horse for an extended period of time" results in weird pointillistic versions of past themes appearing is extremely in my wheelgarage

And FUCK Trayce I never would've noticed that had you not pointed it out but very much so

I even hear subtle hints of Animal Crossing New Leaf in some of the more islandy songs (like Lurelin village) which makes sense because one of the composers is a woman who also did AC! I love this soundtrack so hard.

Like honestly, there are youtubes out there where you can listen to "waterside" or "sheikah tower" on a loop for 10 hours and I am constantly on that. Makes working very peaceful.

lofi hyrule beats to study to

I love the attention to music across the franchise. Noticing Zelda's Lullaby in Sheik's Theme was one of the first times I understood music as a story telling device:

OKAY. This is a thread, but it’s worth it I promise.

On Reddit today, user u/NoNoNo_OhOhOh posted a page from acclaimed Irish novelist John Boyne’s latest book, ‘The Traveller At the Gates of Wisdom.

lol

That might be the greatest thing ever. You know what's really nuts? He's not even 50 *and* he has written YA novels, he should have known better.

i like to think someone noticed in the editing process and just went 'ah fuck it, this is too good'

bizarre that the editor never thought to look up what an Octorok was

is that something an editor is supposed to check? 11 BotW references in one paragraph, seems intentional
