Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

@Haru17 Well BotW is of course the only game they can talk about in which "no more Switch news until January 12th" can still technically apply because of only using the Wii U version. The Switch version could be a massive buggy mess for that signature open world flavour for all we know.

@Vee_Flames there was a rumour about a Metroid x Star Fox crossover once so maybe it was actually Zelda instead of Metroid

Maybe James McCloud ended up in one of the Zelda timelines.

After he got bored of being in another dead franchise.

@yokokazuo @Meowpheel The "Breath of the Wild" subtitle simply comes from the... erm, influential breaths of certain wild animals, namely: a fox, a frog, a bird (we saw who it was), and a bunny. That vessel in the sky? Apparently the Zelda timeline believes it's the Great Bird. Huh. Interesting...
In all seriousness... this theory could explain the development of technology in this game. Andross X Ganon collaboration?

that's the joke

Next you'll tell me Star Fox is a poison that kills franchises.

Zelda is next.

@Meowpheel If it is, then it sure is one sloooow poison, cuz there's been an Arwing in Ocarina of Time with the Zelda series showing nary a sign of slowdown.

Yes, the crisis was averted that time.

Arwin in Ocarina of Time!?

I think you mean Twilight Princess.

Maybe it's just because I've been watching movies at 24fps for nearly 3 decades that I didn't really notice the framerate issues. Oh well. Being easy to please is nice too.

Still several months left of what is probably mostly just optimization, so I'm not worried. Don't act like ya'll ain't double dipping and getting the Switch version anyway.

I mean, not very few. Once Ubisoft and Retro break radio silence we'll have a decent array of neat games to play on the little iPad that could.

Oh another note, @Meowpheel, can I post provocative, SFW Zelda fan art here to spur the thread to action and/or utterly scour the boorish concept of frame rate from my already bored mind?

Like this one, can I post it as an embedded image? I'm somewhat-honestly curious. http://static.zerochan.net/Twilight.Princess.(Game).full.1142...

It seems fine to me

Lol you have a folder of "provocative but not porn" pictures or something?

@Dezzy No, but google images is yielding.

I tried searching Nigel Thornberry memes the other day on a coworker's computer in order to set it as his background (some of us were harmlessly pranking him since he left his computer unlocked, lol). I found a SFW one, but...what the internet has done with Nigel Thornberry and Photoshop is just horrible sometimes. ._.

Why?

on a coworker's computer in order to set it as his background.

WHY!?

Oh my god, that's the worst! In my "lefty liberal" college newsroom one of my opinion writer friends always changes my wallpaper to Ted Cruz or Gary Johnson. It's the worst and I have to relearn where wallpaper settings are on Windows each time. You... you dirty, dirty demon. I hate that prank so much, ahaha.

The best part of that trailer was the confirmation of Cuccos. Link can climb most surfaces and has a glider so I wonder if they'll be useful for anything? Also, the Adventure Log in the game footage is intriguing - I hope it's something similar to the Bombers' Notebook in Majora.

Presumably cuccos would function as an inconvenient, stamina-neutral paraglider? They're certainly less special with items like the deku leaf about.

Cuccos will be food sources.

Scan the cucco Amiibo to get the cucco companion, it lays eggs and is highly aggressive.

Barbecued cucco?

A few whacks from an enemy and it goes ape and calls in hundreds of its mates... I foresee a cucco-only run on YouTube. Whatever they do (if anything) I guarantee the first cucco I meet will be tormented for a bit then chucked off the nearest cliff. Don't judge; you'll all be doing the same.
