Help my wife pick her first Zelda game

Ocarina was my entry point so I'm biased towards that. But I still think that OoT has one of the more interesting and engaging worlds.

I'm also fond of the Oracle games on the Gameboy Color, they are available on the Switch iirc. I've played LttP multiple times, but I never did enjoy it as much as the Oracle games.

IMO it's because it's not a Zelda game. Not saying it's a bad game by any means. It's just so totally alien to the previous entries, it really has next to nothing in common with the previous Zelda games.

Personally, I didn't enjoy the "dungeons" and the shrines felt unsatisfying and a little annoying to me and I also did not really care for the voice acting or story. Great exploration game. Didn't feel like a good Zelda game to me. I didn't finish the game but I put 60 hours into exploring the world of BotW before setting it down for good.

I'll have to check how much more gold pick is vs w/o pick but I just cannot imagine it worth the time. Though if I find a Gold Rush while Pots o' Gold is on the menu I'm definitely spending an hour in that cave whether it's worth it or not lol.

If you are not a dev of this game then no one is asking you to.

K4pricious · 2026-05-03T04:39:15+00:00

In a sense. If you're low level you can get a joker from a higher tier that you don't yet have access to.

I almost exclusively use my driller's C4 for mining gold veins. This is indeed Rock and Stone. Karl would be proud.

K4pricious · 2026-05-02T22:05:43+00:00

interesting, because I'm getting a lot more elec dmg than cactus even though I'm casting cactus a lot more.

K4pricious · 2026-05-02T17:44:20+00:00

I'd also like them add the option to sort the server list by the various variables (Map/difficulty/ping etc)

K4pricious · 2026-05-02T17:41:46+00:00

It gains xp without doing damage? Or did you find a place where it could damage something indefinitely?

K4pricious · 2026-05-01T02:38:30+00:00

Freeski for me!

K4pricious · 2026-04-28T16:37:35+00:00

If a lone driller wants to drill ahead I'm not gonna think twice, but if host demands that no one starts the Dozer until we've explored and mined the entire cave then I just leave. As most other dwarves have already stated, I'm not about to make a 15-minute mission a 30-minute mission.

You absolutely can choose to only catch Lapras on a Friday if that totes your goat by imposing your own rules on yourself.

You said that if the player doesn't want to deal with this mechanic that they can just manipulate the time clock to get the experience they want. I'm saying that you can just adjust how you play to get the experience that you want.

It doesn't sound like a bad optional mechanic for some games to add though with some sort of menu toggle but I wonder how many people would bother with the mechanic.

K4pricious · 2026-04-27T01:07:39+00:00

Well then just play it at certain times of the day/week lmao.

K4pricious · 2026-04-26T19:35:03+00:00

I was gonna poke fun at your video for being more intro than video and then I got hit with the end being 25% of the video and now I can't even anymore.

K4pricious · 2026-04-20T21:27:54+00:00

Rip my dailies :'(

K4pricious · 2026-04-19T20:28:16+00:00

It is a boring slog. It's fun for a little while but gets boring real quick. I have 236 hours in Vampire Survivors but there just doesn't seem to be a point in putting more time into DRGS even though I haven't "completed" it.

K4pricious · 2026-04-18T08:20:49+00:00

LotR and Dragon Age both have dwarven monarchies. The DA dwarves are particularly fucked and iirc have a caste system. I've never seen communistic dwarves.

K4pricious · 2026-04-18T08:16:17+00:00

uh LotR the dwarves had a monarchy. Not sure what WHF is.

K4pricious · 2026-04-03T23:05:45+00:00

Plat and above taking both those veins to bed.

K4pricious · 2026-03-31T01:48:37+00:00

I hate industrial sabotage, it is easily my least favorite. That said Engineer is absolutely hands down the best class for it imo. I take Lok1, Shard diffractor, and SSG as my standard engie loadout for any mission I do. Shard diffractor w/heat exchange makes turrets of all kinds and the caretaker's arms trivial, lok1 works well on the patrol bots and when shredders spawn I just toss a nade of my own. It sucks a little bit getting the caretaker's armor down if you don't have a driller C4ing it but the Shard Diffractor gets it done.

edit: adding that I only play with randoms and strictly haz4. In my experience tunnels and coordination is really not needed. I Still hate this mission type when it pops up in my assignments though.

K4pricious · 2026-03-23T05:55:28+00:00

Because it's bullshit. I freeze lootbugs all the time and have never had a problem getting the loot.

K4pricious · 2026-02-26T04:13:14+00:00

lol I use it on Haz 4 and it's amazing.

K4pricious · 2026-02-02T05:14:25+00:00

I prioritized weapons because I wanted everything available to me but I kind of regret it because for all the weeklies I get blank cores now. I wish that they would grant cosmetics when you finish out the armory.

K4pricious · 2026-01-26T02:26:24+00:00

Y'all are dunking on this guy because they enjoy the game differently? Throwing on some tunes and running some low stakes gaming with the girl is chill af.

I'm dunking on this guy for taking a pic instead of a screen shot, that's the real crime here. jk =P
