is this game looking to be more like a big DLC or more like a majora's mask

the latter imo

did botw have a long game-spanning sidequest chain i forget. if not they need to bring that back

thats the main story isnt it?
i think tarrey town probably counts
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:54 (one year ago) link
i hope you can build more new towns in this i hope its kind of like sim city
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:55 (one year ago) link
xp yeah you're prob right

i should play some botw ahead of this coming out

dont think ive touched it since 2017 honestly, despite never finishing it. i think thats fine tho

i tried and failed several times to do the trials to get the motorcycle, that was probably the last thing i did on it
― na (NA), Tuesday, 28 March 2023 16:03 (one year ago) link
sad for you guys that you never got to ride the motorcycle that you never got to gas it up with raw meat
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 16:06 (one year ago) link
not being able to save during it is what made it frustrating

i got the link motorcycle on mario kart, basically the same thing

they had to do something about the climbing raining situation
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 16:39 (one year ago) link
maybe they took out rain entirely but the catch is that hyrule slowly becomes an arid wasteland
― c u (crüt), Tuesday, 28 March 2023 16:57 (one year ago) link
maybe i'll understand the point of the mechanic better when i play it but i have to imagine there was a better solution for getting on top of stuff in a game largely about exploration than to slowly warp through the ceiling. odd choice for a feature to highlight. why not just bring back the grappling hook thing

maybe link is dead and is a ghost now and that's why he can gloop through ceilings

Homing eyeballs! This looks wicked.

Okay I was gonna defend Ascend. Then I saw someone say it was created because people thought climbing was boring. Climbing was my clear favorite part of BOTW. Never Ascend.

Link can Onionhead through the ceiling because he is green

no this is part of the beauty of climbing, it's like life, goals that seem achievable and then slip out of reach, or vice versa

If Nintendo based new features off of BotW videos, there will be some serious sicko shit with the Yiga Clan

i'm ok with ascend but they really need to rework it so that it's explicitly a zonai hookshot

xp featuring lots of mighty bananas hopefully

Climbing that first tower was so satisfying.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 29 March 2023 01:08 (one year ago) link
Watched this with the kid earlier and he pointed out it had been uploaded 4 hours earlier and there was already a 2 hour long response video
― joygoat, Wednesday, 29 March 2023 02:09 (one year ago) link
Also rain climbing sucks so much, I keep thinking there would be some element of clothing or recipe that let you climb in the rain but fuck no
― joygoat, Wednesday, 29 March 2023 02:13 (one year ago) link
Speaking of towers, I assume sheika towers wont be the way maps unlock in this, given that's happened already. Unless this is set before BoTW... still isnt clear on that. The reverseo-chango skill has me wondering.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 29 March 2023 02:18 (one year ago) link
you can see towers in the background of that video theyre different towers tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 29 March 2023 02:39 (one year ago) link
Ah I should rewatch it hah.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 29 March 2023 02:44 (one year ago) link
gotta watch the two hour youtube really get into it

Most maddening BOTW element is accidentally crouching when I'm panicky and trying to run from something horrible

Already seeing some excellent memes out of all this.

Finally watched that video, new game (mechanics) look awesome. I rarely play my Switch, but will def. (eventually) get this.

I'm unemployed and looking for a job, I'm not sure if this is coming out at the best or the worst possible moment
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 11 April 2023 15:13 (one year ago) link
heh
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 April 2023 15:14 (one year ago) link
i think the only way to manage it is some sort of rewards system (identify a possible job opp, reward with a shrine, update a section of the resume, shrine, 20 minutes straight of trying to find a job and failing, shrine). however, i have never successfully implemented this system for longer than a day. signed, unemployed happy guy

actually, don't do that. zelda would kill millions of people that way

i think this game is going to be great botw was amazing even tho it often wasnt that good as a game where it seems like they stepped up the game stuff with this one, lord willing it will have dungeons
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 April 2023 17:31 (one year ago) link
In the sky!
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 11 April 2023 17:38 (one year ago) link
seems like theres going to be underground stuff too i mean theres def going to be underground stuff theyve shown the caves we just dont know how deep it goes
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 April 2023 17:39 (one year ago) link
idk i am still skeptical that it will have dungeons i'll believe it when i see it. i do miss the dungeons though, you need a lot of cool overworld setpieces to make up for their absence and botw barely managed it
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 11 April 2023 17:57 (one year ago) link
one thing people (youtubers) picked up from the trailers is theres clearly two sets of powers one whos icons are lil pictures of the power and one that look like japanese characters, you could assume that one set is picked up in the tutorial area but then where do the other set come from, dungeons?
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 April 2023 18:03 (one year ago) link
I worry that I'll miss the amazing newness of experiencing BOTW for the first time, and that this sequel will just seem like a larger-than-usual DLC.
But as my therapist says, "stop anticipating what you're going to worry about, and worry about it when it actually happens" (or something)
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 11 April 2023 18:08 (one year ago) link
Finally opened this, put about 200 hours in over the last month. Just excellent. Amazed that they really nailed it.

I finally decided to give Ganondorf another shot (after initially stumbling upon him earlier). Lost again, not enough gloom busting food. I really just spend the majority of time just exploring. I’m still finding new caves and wells. Still need to beat a bunch of the Gleeoks. Many side questions remaining, but I think I’ve finished all the main ones, with the exception of the final battle. Need to find all the damn armor too.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 14:34 (seven months ago) link
I've been putting off fighting Ganondorf for weeks now. I'm still running around doing sidequests. Amazing game
― treefell, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 14:53 (seven months ago) link
The Ganondorf battle really is something else — they went above and beyond atoning for the disappointing final battle in Breath of the Wild
This game is to BOTW what A Link to the Past was to Zelda 1

Just picked this back up on a flight after playing Elden Ring for so long. I really need to be in the right mindset for this game after switching it up. I can't easily go "back and forth". It's so much easier to get side tracked in this game too.
BTW given I've started up Elden Ring this year, and will likely dive into BG3 once I've beaten that and TotK, this is looking to be a completely ridiculous year in gaming for me. And I'm really looking forward to that new Mario game and Dave the Diver once it's on Switch.
