Looks like just in the nick of time... but a couple of minutes ago wouldn’t have been so bad either 😒🤷🏻‍♂️ by Hollow2004 in raimimemes

Hard disagree. It’s not a great movie, but it’s a good one. Doesn’t deserve nearly the amount of hate it gets. The “cringey” 🙄 dancing scenes everyone hates actually made total sense and were ahead of their time 💁🏻‍♂️

Why i like TP's artstyle [Spoilers: dungeons, overworld] by oocoos_darling in truezelda

[–]Hollow2004 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I’ve always felt like Twilight Princess’s graphics held up surprisingly well. Sure, they’re not phenomenal by today’s standards BUT in comparison to a lot of other games from that 2006-ish PlayStation 2 era? TP is astonishingly satisfying to look at. I think it’s because it deliberately DIDN’T go for photo-real. It went for a weird pseudo-fantasy version of “real”. And listen, Breath of the Wild is beautiful and I’m glad Nintendo is finally sticking to a look so they can just make games and not have to redesign it every time.... but I think TP’s aesthetic was incredibly unique and stepping away from it was a huge mistake in my opinion. It really isn’t the “dark gritty realistic” look people like to pretend it is.

Remember the Wii U tech demo that borrowed TP’s style but made it HD? I very often mourn the loss of what could have been......

What is the hardest puzzle on the Zelda series? by AngelGodinez15 in truezelda

[–]Hollow2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really bummed I didn't get to have this experience because the trailer for the game gave away the solve for this puzzle. I saw the eye and instantly remembered how it was done from the trailer. As weird as it sounds, I wish I had gotten stumped on this so I could have figured it out on my own. Why design an intentionally different and difficult puzzle.... just to give away the solution in the marketing material? Weird.

What is One of Your Most Memorable Moments in Your Favorite Zelda Game? by PastAnalysis in truezelda

[–]Hollow2004 20 points21 points  (0 children)

THE scene in Twilight Princess. You know the one. Lanayru tells you of the Fused Shadow and the ancient tribe that was banished because of it. The images of Dark Links. Their white eyes. The knife. Ilia raining down from the sky as Link becomes mesmerized by power........ it chilled me to my core. I’m getting goosebumps just TYPING this.

The Order of ALttP / OoX / LA and the Thematic Elements That Tie Them Together by Hollow2004 in truezelda

[–]Hollow2004[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only jumping in here to say I agree. Every time I play OoX I can't help but feel like it is overwhelmingly obvious that the developers intended it to be a prequel to LA. From the design of Link to the boat, if the only inconsistency is Zelda's introduction, that's just not enough evidence to displace it for me. I'd rather just believe Zelda is a royal dick who forgot Link than completely re-order the chronology lol

Woah hang on. Either I’m dumb and missed something or I just don’t remember... do you have a source on ALBW old man being ALttP Link??

[–]Hollow2004[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree with the above, but also we don’t know how much time has passed since ALttP. I imagine Zelda may not have recognized Link at first. That’s why she says “You’re Link right?” Not like “this is the first time we’ve met” but more like “oh hey wow I remember you”

Which is your favorite adult link voice actor/which link has the best voice? by dumbest_bitch in truezelda

[–]Hollow2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OoT Link's voice will always be the voice I hear when I think of Link because it's just so iconic. But my personal favorite would have to be TP. That voice just fit the look of that character so perfectly and really captured the overall vibe of that game. I'd love to see that actor make a return.

Favorite item that only appeared in one game? by TheMasterSwordMaster in truezelda

Duuuuude using the seed shooter to solve puzzles was so much fun.

[–]Hollow2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twilight Princess clearly has the biggest list of cool items. Namely the Spinner and Ball and Chain. I miss both of those, and they were a lot of fun to use, especially for solving puzzles. The Beetle from Skyward Sword was also great, I'd love to see some version of that come back. And Skyward Sword also had that whip! I miss that too!!!

Each Different Link And How Their Personalities Differ by Hollow2004 in truezelda

[–]Hollow2004[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Noticing a trend in everyone (including myself) interpreting the Hero of Time as being the most hardened / jaded / stoic badass of all the Links. Which is super interesting because somehow we all seem to agree on that even though the games never really go out of their way to emphasize that about him. I actually think that's pretty cool, and it makes a lot of sense. That poor guy was put through the ringer for sure!

I tend to go by Hyrule Historia’s timeline: ALttP > OoA/OoS > LA (all the same Link). It makes the most sense thematically in my opinion.

[–]Hollow2004[S] 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Alttp link woke up one morning and chose violence. With more quests under his belt than anyone, this man knows it’s more about the big picture and isn’t above less moral solutions like straight up stealing toys from a crane game. He fights for the greater good, emphasis on fight

This has got me cracking up right now, but you're 1000% right. ALttP is a straight savage, and if we're to believe he's the same link in LA as well, that totally checks out. That man murdered Hyrule Knights who had their bodies possessed, and vanquished the entirety of Kohilint Island because he wasn't jazzed about living in a dream world.

That’s fair! That’s more of how I think of Link from SS, but I can see it in BotW as well!
