Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

@Monkey_Balls

You meant that as a joke I'm guessing. Well guess again.

Zelda actually comes from a shortening of the Germanic name Griselda. A version with the S is used in some countries instead of the Z: http://www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Selda

Nerd points!!!

The Legend of Griselda: The Knitting Needles of Antiquity

Would Zant be called "Sant" out of fear of the letter Z?

....Good grief, he's Santa's evil twin! O_o (LoZ's version of Krampus?)

@Dezzy Nope, no joke. I was absolutely, positively, 100% serio- ah, who am I kidding? Nerd points awarded, good Sir (damn, and I thought I was nerdy).

Wii Remote support? If I can't do any motion-controlled knitting I'm not interested.

Yeah, shortening it to Zelda was definitely a good move.

Griselda sounds about as young as Ethel or Marjorie.

Only if you have two motion plus wii remotes.

Thankfully, the WiiKnit accessory comes included with the game.

The Adventure of Ethel would make a good sequel for Meowpheel's Knitting Needles of Antiquity. Marjorie can be the game's version of Navi or something. (@Meowpheel Woolly World and Epic Yarn missed a trick there not including the WiiKnit...)

On topic... this is probably old news but folks in the UK can win a copy of the game from Nintendo's UK Store by entering a competition/survey:

Considering the game isn't released for a while, if there is much more to it - such as dungeons, towns and story - then why would Ninty be running this competition/survey so early, and with those options? My main concern about BoTW is that what we've seen is what we'll get. Hopefully "Exploring the open world" includes discovering an engaging story, huge dungeons, sprawling towns, etc.

...That would be interesting. Would Jughead be taking the place of Princess Selda?

And let's not forget the next game after that...Gertrude's Awakening!

No, that's the fourth game.

The third one will be An Agnes to the Past.

The Legend of Selda: Griselda's Grimoire

RIP

I think the name Agnes has found new life thanks to a certain RPG.

Hm, didn't realize we were going in any particular order since the knitting stuff was brought up a few posts back.

To keep with the order, Aurora of Time and Marjorie's Mask would also be pretty great games!

(Quick fact: My phone would autocorrect Majora to Marjorie on occasion before it recognized the word.)

All the way to The Legend of Griselda: Breath of the Iron Lung

Yeah but they used a pronounciation that's acceptable.

They would've struggled going with the Scottish pronounciation of Ag-Ness. Sounds like haggis.

Ganondorf will be really interesting in this game. (If he's in it) He will be the first Ganondorf we've seen who's not he guy from Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess. Who, of course, was born a Gerudo. So (if he's in it), I wonder what Ganondorf will even look like. Presumably he won't look gray-green anymore, unless he's still a Gerudo.

Anyway, I think it's safe to say that whoever Ganondorf might be, it'd have to be different than Calamity Ganon.

I like the fact that in wind waker his nose starts on his forehead, beyond his eyebrows.

And that he wants your farts.

@Haru17 Back up... why would he be a different Ganondorf? Is Calamity Ganon not just the same Ganon?

You get a D for that joke. He's speaking metaphorically about heavy stuff like impoverished countries and environmental refugees.

Anyway, this would be a different Ganondorf because he died at the end of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. Unless this game is set in a different timeline again, but I don't think they'll pull that.

That's my entire point: it would have to be a new person and I'm wondering if he'd still be Gerudo. Persumably the pig thing is genetic.

@Haru17 From what I can tell, Ganon has fused with Master Core in this game!
