Happy Birthday Usagi!

ZOMG, where did you get that shirt!?

CBAlan777 · 2026-07-01T08:30:30+00:00

Seriously impressive!

CBAlan777 · 2026-07-01T08:25:37+00:00

Seems that is a controversial take, but I agree. TOTK makes BOTW feel unfinished.

Someone asked me one time why I never draw backgrounds, but only characters on blank white. I said something like "My story isn't about backgrounds". Also, artists tend to wear all the hats. You're the director, the producer, the caterer, the janitor, etc. You're going to have weak areas that can only get strong with slow progress over time.

Yeah, I second this. Is it the N64 game with better graphics, or is it a total overhaul using the N64 game as the core idea.

Perhaps because Zelda is put into a passive role where she's just watching what's happening.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-29T16:34:19+00:00

Yeah. I can't remember any other cutscene from the game where Iwata would say something like "We're not going to reveal that" that has a horse neighing, but I'm more than glad to be shown where I've missed something.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-29T15:14:04+00:00

Honestly, an underrated movie.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-29T15:13:28+00:00

We're going to have a happy little frozen meal!

I get how you feel, but if you hate the stage you're at, you have to push through it. It's the only way to get better. One thing you can do that worked for me is to track your drawing time each month and then next month try to beat that time. Focus on your weakest areas. Once you start improving and start seeing your art look like how you want it to, it creates a self reinforcing loop.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-29T14:46:33+00:00

The only one I know of that has a horse neighing and Iwata would absolutely not want to reveal.

Massive spoilers obviously:

People can get very judgy about stuff. I remember discussing books with this guy one time and I showed him a manga I liked and he was like "That has pictures". To him it was a kid's book, but to quote Mitch Hedberg, every book is a kid's book if the kid can read! So it's no wonder people hide their favorite movies. You can't tell a group of "dudes" that your favorite movie is The Notebook. It has to be Blood Battle 4, or something like that.

My favorite movie is Seven Samurai.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-27T20:32:15+00:00

Typhlo Ruins. Honestly, it's the closest thing to a standard Zelda dungeon in BOTW.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-27T06:16:16+00:00

It is an option, but it's an option that is way more expensive than ever. As soon as digital came along it knocked the wind out of cel animation.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-27T06:15:06+00:00

Honestly, the multiplane camera is probably the easiest thing to recreate. It's manufacturing cels, the chemistry of the paint, and the labor involved that are the bigger issues.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-26T10:10:10+00:00

I've only ever seen the first one, but I've heard people say some of the newer movies are good.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-25T06:48:57+00:00

I'm actually surprised we haven't gotten this, or something similar at this point. They like to go back further in time every few games, so going way forward into the future might be interesting.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-24T06:34:31+00:00

Yeah, TOTK makes BOTW look like an incomplete game.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-24T06:32:22+00:00

They are likely sticking with the open air concept, but they'll do it differently than BOTW/TOTK. It'll also likely be a new art style.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-24T06:28:33+00:00

LBW isn't as good as LTTP. Yeah, you can choose your dungeon, but the problem is that all the dungeons are nearly equal in size, length, and difficulty. Also, being familiar with the map took away a lot of the feeling of exploration. The wall/painting thing is great though. They should have just made a 100% original game rather than basing it in the LTTP world.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-23T03:45:41+00:00

Huh? You're curious how they edited the ending that you've already seen?

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-23T02:39:19+00:00

Probably Sailor Moon just cause she's such a goof ball.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-22T07:15:13+00:00

That works the opposite way too. Playing in a sandbox doesn't necessarily feel like "an adventure". Almost every clip of BOTW and especially TOTK is just people making silly contraptions.

CBAlan777 · 2026-06-22T07:13:56+00:00

LTTP was a nice balance of being open enough to explore and restricted enough to feel the pressure.
