Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

I think there's more to do in Majora's Mask's even counting the scripted events in the Twilight, but it is true that series fans tend to overlook everything hidden around Twilight Princess. Hyrule Field - Eldin gets the most shade for being barren. However, most don't seem to realise that the area has two climbing puzzles, a hidden mini-dungeon, and a dominion rod puzzle. The reason that area is empty is because it's the designated spot for screwing around with horseback combat.

But anyway, I would love underwater combat to return. One of my greatest gaming fantasies — which could be satisfied by Zelda, Monster Hunter, Pokemon, or Elder Scrolls — is to dive into an undersea abyss in a mostly-terrestrial, fantasy-set game. That coastal region of Breath of the Wild gives me hope for an undersea water temple. Something you have to upgrade your breathing and swimming to make it to.

It just sounds so awesome to dive far beneath the ocean and have the light fade as you enter a trench. Then, to see a bioluminescent glow as you're swimming through the dark and swim into ancient flooded ruins?

That's how a game becomes GOAT for me. And not, you know...

@MarcelRguez Wait, TP was the only game that closed chests if your rupee bag was full. I remember leaving dungeons, backtracking all the way to a particular chest, just to get the rupees. It's a stupid mechanic. Can't hold anymore rupees? Too bad, should've prepared for that. I just want those chests to disappear on my map.

Also, about rupees in general, seems like they're going a more traditional RPG route with this. They're not as abundant as the blades of grass they were hidden in, but now they're a neat reward to find in a treasure chest or hidden in some other place. And the fact that you will have to gather items and sell them to obtain more rupees. It's more realistic, and it fits the ''western RPG'' theme they got going here.

@MarcelRguez Markers are a good idea, and a must-have I think. Just don't put a stupid limit on them. Only 10 markers in The Witcher 3, who thought that was a good idea?

Spoilers: There's already a stupid limit on them. I think it's about two sets of eight.

You have no idea how long I've been saying this. Very few games do deep water right. I think Zelda has the potential to do some thing really special with it. If anyone is looking for a good game about the deep ocean, I recommend SOMA. It's spoopy tho.

I hope that was just a demo thing then.

@MarcelRguez I haven't played it yet. Maybe I'll get around to it after the inevitable Christmas sale.

Bioshock does deep ocean pretty well.

That introduction when you first enter Rapture is still very impressive and beautiful.

There's slugs.

And big daddies.

Twist.

Big spoiler, there's a retro futuristic city inside the volcano. Under the magma.

Somewhereeeeee~ under the magma.

Was I supposed to imagine that being sung by Judy Garland?

In order to get deep underwater Link will have to acquire an old school hardhat scuba suit

with a drill hand.

I was thinking more along the lines of Bobby Darin.

But hey that works too.

Ten cents his partner for that part of the game is an undead version of Agitha.

"I can see the butterflies dancing. Time for more Force Gems."

"Look, Mr. Grasshopper, Force Gems!"

"Come on, Mr. G, time to find some butterflies."

"(Giggles) This butterfly looks like it's dancing! (giggles)"

"Who watches over sleeping butterflies? I do, I do."

And remember: rescue, don't harvest.

...Guys, the stockholder's meeting is at the end of this month.

It gets better.

No means no.

So they'll probably say about 2 words about Zelda and then talk about Pokemon Go and future Pokemon Go-like things for the rest of it.
