I picked up the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles yesterday and I love it so far. I want to spread zelda out for a good while so this and eventually bomb rush cyberfunk should help with that.
My surprising encounter came from while i was venturing through the depths with no brightbloom seeds, and suddenly I saw a singular eye and the healthbar of an "Obsidian Frox" appear in front of me which was more than enough to make me reconsider my current path. As for gleeoks, I spent well over an hour battling the one on the bridge until I finally defeated it, my proudest moment in Totk so far
@sixrings And yet you continue to comment on many of these about it. Many years ago I went to buy a book in a store and saw there was a 'buy one get one free' offer going. I only needed one, but took advantage of the sale and got another. The second book was god awful and I realised despite the sale, it would have been cheaper just buying the one book. The same applies here, It actually is less of your time wasted scrolling past an article on the homepage/timeline than it would commenting every time about the abundance of articles. Its once every 6 or so years a new zelda comes out, let people enjoy it to the fullest.
@Spider-Kev SLIGHT SPOILERS: I actually realised when talking to Yona for the first time that the game mentioned her being from another Domain of Zoras, despite the fact that only one exists in Botw/Totk. My theory is that the DLC could be focused on this, giving us underwater exploration, another zora city and some new zonai parts to make submarines with Ultrahand. Would be pretty cool imo.
Edit: Finally got the spoiler block to work, thanks everyone
I was thinking about it the other day, and I realised how much I love seeing these characters evolve and grow from one game to the next. I thought a third game would actually be quite cool, but then I realised a DLC would be the perfect alternative. Give me more game and more story with the characters I love, and a fresh take on zelda in the next generation.
I'll admit, the idea of the 'ink' changing the verticality of the map is actually quite cool but wow does this game take a lot from good old sploon. The sound effects death animations etc are nearly identical
Glad I checked this out, i had tried jumping in there without a paraglider and while i died on landing, i was surprised to see it was even possible to go down there. I was planning to go back, but I think I'll wait a while now.
I think a zelda movie would be excellent, but not by illumination. As for links voice, they could very easily give him a companion like midna or someone new to be his voice instead of him speaking
@YoshiF2 While I agree with you that the Champions are secondary characters, the descendants are not and can be found wandering around towns, and as for sidequests tarrey town is one of the best side quests in the series. And what exactly do you mean by your whole youtube point? You put it in every comment.
@YoshiF2 From that list, many were already in botw and others will near definitely be in totk. For example, I would be very surprised if the game does not have dungeons. We've already had quests such as Tarrey Town in Botw, and the sequel looks to have many more meaningful quests as you can see link transporting npcs across the world in the final trailer. Breath of the wild had some great bosses in my opinion, but tears of the kingdom looks like it will have many more similar to those found in previous entries, for example the shot in the final trailer with link facing off against a huge centipede-like creature in the centre of a hurricane. As for iconic npcs with backstories, i would argue the Champions in breath of the wild are incredibly iconic and have some brilliant backstory too. The sequel looks to be giving even more development to the champions descendants as well, so I wouldnt worry about that. I also think its safe to say that while this will likely still be as free as Botw, there will probably be far more story and designed progression/set pieces in this game than the one before as the story is evolving as we play it, rather than 100 years before. Overall it just shows that it doesnt matter what this game does, unless it is the exact same as older games which your nostalgia loves, you will not accept this as a 'true' zelda game. The rest of us at least, have plenty to be excited for.
I've been playing this for a while now, and ive even managed a perfect 25000 once or twice. I actually submitted a screenshot recently which got accepted, and I find that really cool
@Ryu_Niiyama I believe its been confirmed elemental arrows as such are gone, but you can achieve the exact same effects and many more with item fusing. For example, in the gameplay demonstration they showed an arrow fused with Ice Chu Chu jelly having the same effect as an Ice arrow from Breath of the Wild.
The creator of the games actively fought against the EU box art when it was suggested by nintendo, but it proved to be much more popular with adult buyers thanks to it looking closer to a magazine than a video game cover. I'll have to go with EU as well, these games are my favourite
@sketchturner Fuse is used to combine weapons/objects/items whereas Ultrahand is similar to magnesis and allows you to combine large objects to create vehicles and potentially more
This is my second most anticipated game ever, behind tears of the kingdom. I still can't quite believe that we're getting sequels to Zelda, Professor Layton and Hollow Knight in the span of potentially 1 year. On top of a heap of great indies including Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Another Crabs Treasure... Its going to be a fun year for my wallet and me.
The artwork of luke and layton is certainly interesting, on top of both characters having a minor redesign (layton now has a buttoned up shirt, and luke a red bow tie and blazer), we can see a building with a sign reading "Steam Bison". What with the mechanical elephants already seen so far, I think its cool to see the theming of steam powered robot beasts and transport. In a way, I hope this does take place in America as it seems like an interesting premise for a Layton game, but I beg that layton and luke keep their original voices (Lukes european voice please!) and that the cutscenes are done by the original company too. Very excited for the Level-5 presentation now though, especially since layton news has been officially confirmed on twitter.
@JaxonH That was super interesting to read, and I think I understand much better now thank you. P.s That collection of yours is absolutely stunning, I wish I had something close to that with Zelda merch
I've never played a fire emblem game, but looking in as an outsider to the series this game looks like a real step down theming and style wise from three houses. I'm interested to know what a veteran of the series opinion on this is though.
If you want to really grow this, then it might not be a bad idea to start a dreaded tiktok account. I know I know, its horrible and i actually deleted it myself a few months ago but this is exactly the kind of thing i saw get brought to light there.
@Itachi2099 I personally have no plans to buy this game, but I would disagree that its not worth the price even if it has a long playtime. I think if its polished enough and has enough content then it could easily catch that pricetag. Obviously everyone would be happier if it was cheaper though.
@jowe_gw There were at least 6-7 farming sims in that direct, which is fair to say more than most genres normally get.
As for me, I'd love to see some more news on bomb rush cyberfunk, some good 3d platformers, or maybe even a prof layton collection? (alas, i fear the last one may just be a dream)
By the way, they confirmed that along with future seasonal events and bug fixes, they are currently developing major content updates that will add more depth to combat and dungeon runs
I played this on mobile a little while ago and my main problem is that it was too much like classic pokemon, none of the modern quality of life features. The walk speed is very slow and you cant avoid battling trainers every 2 seconds in the wild.
