It wasn't a "theory" Nintendo pushed an official timeline out lmao. (Granted, it was to shut people up about it, but I digress.) I dunno. I wouldn't be surprised to see something related to Skyloft on it, though I don't quite expect them to pull Demise back into the fold. Maybe the Triforce though? There's obviously too little info for speculation, and BotW is too detached from the timeline to begin with, but it definitely smells fishy. Quote Link to comment
RSG3 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Triforce never went away tho, it's in BOTW. I'm also gonna argue Demise already came back, as Ganondorph, like how Zelda is really Hylia. Gaon is Demise. With that said, it's not a theory or anything but it's a thought I've kind of been having. I wonder if the Malice is or has a mind of its own. It seems like we fought the "Essence" of Ganon in BOTW1, his manifestation through Malice which is kind of just Demise' s bullshit anyway. My thoughts are Demise/Ganon are reaching a point of just becoming an Eldrich abomination. The next phase of Demise might not be a man at all...but a "Force of nature."

Sonichuman Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Liam Triforce put up a deep long retrospective on Wind Waker for those interested I'm not sure if I mentioned this before here but Liam is also a pretty good place for retrospectives if you enjoy watching/listening to them. As the name implies he's done a good chunk for games in the Zelda series but he also has some pretty nice extensive videos for games in a few other IP's J-ride, RegH81, Volt and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment
RegH81 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Apparently SS Joycons are plentiful so scalpers can suck it. I may grab them because I need a new pair. Also, I was able to get the Zelda/Loftwing amiibo for $24.99 off Amazon and it showed up a whole day early. Anyone read any of the Zelda manga VIZ translated? I have everything but I SO want the Link's Awakening manga to get an official release. RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment

Should hunt them down now that they should be complete tbh. Source material kinda doesn't give a lot to work with when it comes to Link as a protag and it kinda shows. I vaguely remember the TP one having a random ass backstory for Link, but it wasn't bad... Yeah, I definitely gotta read that one. Quote Link to comment
Sonichuman Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Nothing regarding BotW2 or anything, Liam just put up a retrospective for TP that might be a nice watch/listen to. Edit: I did not know that Kakariko Village's music actually makes a reference to ALttP's Kakariko Village. I have to have been listening to that track a million times on my playlist and never noticed it until Liam pointed it out.

I feel like the lack of a real last dungeon hurts it a bit though. Great Bay Temple is what the Water Temple meme would be if it was accurate tho, fuck that place. TP got Goron Mines, Arbiter Grounds, Temple of Time, City in the Sky, Palace of Twilight and a really sick Hyrule Castle. TP Darknuts ain't no joke. (Unless you spam back slash.)

JGreen Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Honestly, I’m kind of glad. There are so many great games right now my gaming backlog is enormous. I’m still going through Horizon and then I have Triangle Strategy, Elden Ring next. That’s not even taking into account Radiant Historia, Xenoblade, Kirby and a ton of other games to go through.

I had expected this to be like Majora's Mask development-wise with all the assets they got. I just know this will be an unparalleled masterpiece. 😭 Spoiler Hol up, just saw the vid.

Sonichuman Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Italian Voice Actor for Daruk dun goofed It's HUGE but it gets the the brain juices flowing on what the game is going to be about. So Daruk's Italian VA said in an interview that he did voices for Daruk...and Daruk's ANCESTOR. So either we're talking to Daruk's ancestor's spirit in this game or this game is potentially also going to have some of it take place in the past. Speculation is that some of it may actually take place or show what actually happened 10,000 years ago. No real evidence or clue towards that last bit though but interesting.... Quote Link to comment

If they thought it wasn't up to their standards then I could see them pulling the same thing as Metroid Prime 4 and restarting development. Which would delay the hell out of it. But at least we've seen some gameplay footage already. I think it's just Nintendo being their normal sneaky selves lol. RSG3 and Volt 2 Quote Link to comment

Did they screw up XBC3, or you think they may have blown their load working on it? The only concerns I had were the differences in performance from XBC 2 and XBC3. XBC2 while not a bad looking game at all has some performance and graphical issues here and there. Main issues were a few areas dropped the frame rate and it variable resolution dipped pretty low at times. Docked the game at times went 360p. So on top of this the way how the worlds are built in XBC2, the worlds were more segmented and not a big huge streaming world like BotW or XCX before it. So there was definitely a bit of concern. So now we have XBC3 out and the worlds is built back to like XBC/XCX level in terms of how open it is AND they got the frame rate and the variable resolution more under control with the game and it looks NICE. So this pretty much means that whatever they've learned in the process between XBC2 and XBC3 is now going to be used to make BotW2 even better. Chadouken, Volt and RSG3 3 Quote Link to comment

In my opinion anyways it doesn’t. I looked at the entire leaked art book. All it “spoils” is a lot of concept art, some character designs, item designs and some armor sets. Nothing really related to plot. the stuff I mentioned MIGHT give stuff away but I feel without the context of the story they don’t really.
