@nessisonett Yeah those are two of my favorites. however, I’m quite surprised DS Cute ranked below DS…. Considering DS Cute might as well be named DS But It Works.
@Polvasti or simply, a new Ganondorf was born in between. There’s at least two confirmed individual Ganondorfs in the timeline, we can make that three.
Perhaps literally every Gerudo man born ends up being an easy vessel for the same evil... Which might explain why they’ve stopped raising them to become kings in “modern times”….
My first Zelda game was Ocarina of Time, so that one.
It’s interesting how the one in this game seems to parallel that one. With events in the past that feel very much like they’re meant to be reminiscent of the events from ocarina of time.
@neufel @Tharsman yeah, what better way to have the look and feel of the authentic thing, than using the shell and buttons of the real thing.
This also can give new life to an old broken controller, it’s pretty cool.
Edit: there. Preordered. It’s coming directly from China so I probably won’t see it in like a year, but it’ll be worth the wait since, evidently, Nintendo doesn’t want me to have one of their wireless N64 controllers, and the last imitation controller I got was really bad.
It’s a little weird how they completely tore down the Shrine of Resurrection. It felt almost slightly disrespectful, with it being such an important place in Breath of the Wild.
Unless it was the new inhabitants who did it, in which case, point taken.
I remember Harvest Moon Seeds of Memories being announced for WiiU, but I don’t think it ever actually came out. I still rated it though, because I have it for mobile, but perhaps you could consider removing it….?
@Wild_Silvally_Dreams well this is a blast from the past! Glad you also enjoyed these games. My favorites would have to be shark and penguins. The horses one also had fun mini games.
@Anti-Matter @ComfyAko the girls in the backgrounds of the pictures look very much like updated interpretations of female main characters from previous games as well (Sara, Claire, and Holly), so these are likely just all examples of player characters.
The person brushing the cow is a little hard to make out, but I think I see them wearing a hat and blue overalls, so it might be supposed to look like Pete?
@Burning_Spear To be fair this cow design has been around since their first non-marvelous HM game. It was honestly about time they made a game-accurate cow plushie.
@TeaCatherine it's just a tiny house with a hole in a corner. where a ghostly hand resides, so we could say it's supposed to be an outhouse. However nothing in the game really designates it as such.
I think it still takes place after Skyward Sword. The original Zelda from that never really showed interest in starting a kingdom, so it wasn’t until her descendant Sonia married Rauru that they founded Hyrule.
So that puts the ancient history in this game somewhere between SS and Minish Cap... Probably closer to SS though.
And of course, that would mean there were always two Master Swords going around at the same time for millennia.
@marsbitrona it’s not so rare when you consider Age of Calamity has canon elements, and was made in close partnership with the Zelda team. Of course they would want to keep the character designs consistent.
The Age of Calamity design was based on a concept art of Purah they made for BotW, too.
For those curious about how long it’s been since BotW, her diary says she aged herself up artificially so her present looks are not a good way to judge it. The time skip was probably about 5 years tops, given the existence of a certain child.
@OFFICIALMichi to be fair, there's some games in the series that imply Pokemon don't just come out to everyone, only to those they find worthy, and our characters just happen to be so good and pure that every Pokemon wants to join us.

Why bother if they’ll end up changing it so much anyway
Re: Zelda: TOTK Players Discover Simple Way To Make Rupees With 'Frozen Meat Glitch'
@Nintendencies it apparently also works with chuchu jelly
Re: Zelda: TOTK Players Discover Simple Way To Make Rupees With 'Frozen Meat Glitch'
@Rika_Yoshitake to be fair, once set up, this glitch seems so effortless. And it provides free food! 🤓
It seems better than doing some other weird duplication glitch.
Re: Poll: Are You Still Playing Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
I’m taking the scenic route and limiting the amount of time I play it
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Puyo Pop Fever
I prefer the more focused take of the European one. Including the main character keeps it interesting without being too busy.

What would a sequel even be about? A pet sim?

Re: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Announced For Nintendo Switch
@ComfyAko because it was cheap? (Assuming you live in a place where they went on sale. If not, then my condolences)
Re: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Announced For Nintendo Switch
Gotta love how they pretend Apollo is the main main main character of the other two games.
I kinda wish they had 3Dfied the fourth game to keep them all looking consistent in the trilogy.
Re: Random: You Can Use Zonai Devices To Make Music In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
Link then decided to follow his dreams of becoming a musician.
And so Ganondorf took over Hyrule.
Re: Sonic Superstars Offering Free "Modern" Amy Outfit To Newsletter Subscribers
Ah cool, it will be like playing Sonic Advance

Re: Nintendo Highlights The History Of Zelda's "Mighty Demon King" Ganondorf
@Bigmanfan being fair to him, he very much only decided to actually kill them out of anger, after the king sniped his wish.
Before that, he was relatively ok with the idea of letting them be.

Re: Talking Point: Which Version Of Zelda: Link's Awakening Is Your Favourite?
They all have their charms.
The og has fun, easy, glitches that make it a lot of fun to experiment with.
The game boy color has the photo side quest.
And the Switch version has many useful updates and features, plus a little extra content.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Color, SNES & NES Library With Four More Titles
Aw yeah Harvest Moon! I was getting worried we wouldn’t see those!
Re: Talking Point: Is Tears Of The Kingdom The Scariest Zelda Game Ever?
You guys never run out of Link reaction faces 😅

Oooh I actually have an old controller with broken joystick, so I’m definitely interested in this.

Re: Soapbox: Returning To The Great Plateau In Zelda: TOTK Felt Like Coming Home
@Ryu_Niiyama I do really like how many places have sources or equivalent spots in the depths.
A really cool detail is how all the hot springs in Hebra have volcanic activity underneath.

It’s a little weird how they completely tore down the Shrine of Resurrection. It felt almost slightly disrespectful, with it being such an important place in Breath of the Wild.

The person brushing the cow is a little hard to make out, but I think I see them wearing a hat and blue overalls, so it might be supposed to look like Pete?
Re: Story Of Seasons Multiplayer Game Announced Alongside New Traditional Instalment
I’ll keep an eye on that single player one
Re: Harvest Moon: The Winds Of Anthos Pre-Orders Come With Adorable Cuddly Cow

I love these plushies. I'll try to get this one.
Re: Random: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom NPCs Aren't Happy About "Naked Link"
She does the same remark about freedom when you talk to her wearing the Yiga Clan uniform. Except she also says it’s in poor taste.
