Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom: Where Does It Fit In The Zelda Timeline?

Eel

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.

Re: New Shadow Raids Are Coming To Pokémon GO Next Week

@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.

Re: Soapbox: Game & Watch Still Scratches A Very Particular Itch, And I Need More

I was on a Game and Watch kick a little while ago, I really wish I had a few actual real G&W units.

A new collection would be nice, or another entry in their new “color screen” series too. The Zelda model is actually my favorite way to play TLoZ, though I’m not sure there’s any other NES games that I would want to buy a specific handheld device for.

But what I truly want, is re-releases of the original hardware.

@Themagusx1 huh. This would be a weird counterpoint to that, since technically that would make any and every piece of media that has been dubbed to different languages “diverse”.

Like, it’s a given fact that movies dubbed to different languages will be dubbed using different people.

As a bit of a contradicting fun fact, for The Lorax, Danny DeVito voiced his character in Spanish too (and a few other languages as well!). He did it without being a fluent speaker by reading phonetical translations, which gives him a fairly unique sound.

@Rayquaza2510 yeah the pricing is weird. With FS20 at least you could say it’s because it’s also a retail release, but I haven’t been able to find any physical preorders available for this version.

On the flip side though, based on my own experience with both versions of FS20, the game on the Switch seems better optimized. On iOS, it feels like my fairly up-to-date iphone and ipad skip frames even on the lowest settings, while the Switch plays it with no hiccups at all.

Re: Soapbox: It's Time For A Zelda 1 Remake, Please

Eel

It’s one of those rare NES games that still hold up fairly well, and can be enjoyed as games on their own right.

That said, I don’t think a remake would be able to get far enough into development without becoming a new game midway through. It’s just so, huh, basic that any attempt to modernize it will change too much.
