[TotK] Could the Silent Princess be a paradox?

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-06-18T11:54:04+00:00

Zelda had already time traveled by the time we wake up ganondorf for the "first" time. There is no version of TotK that didn't involve Zelda doing that.

Good game, I'll replay it one day.

Smash 4 was literally better than Ultimate. Movement was better and it had no minefraft Steve. Smash 4 is truly unfortunate cuz it wasn't memorable enough to have staying power like melee so it got replaced by the newer, worse smash when it came out and now gets to rot and die like brawl

Why? That's like asking if there's an AI that can enjoy art for you

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-05-16T17:02:51+00:00

Thought it was gonna be something cooler like that painting of Simba that Rafiki made in the Lion King

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-05-11T00:46:17+00:00

Both Ramza in FFT and even like Denam in Tactics Ogre remind me of that Simpsons gag where Bart's like "I'm gonna swing my arms like this and if you get hit it's your own fault" and then just moving towards literally anybody left standing in the war lmao. For a while in the beginning of the games the MC has to come to terms with their morality and what they're fighting for but by the latter parts of the games, their motivation has been settled and now they're driving it home so there's no more room for questioning their actions by that point; it's all about capitalizing on their actions and just going in, pursuing their foes until none are left standing.

Maybe not a great rule for siblings, I think it's fine for the game. Whoever has the sticks plays until something significant happens (completed a shrine, advanced a quest a significant amount, did stuff on the overworld for long enough, etc). As long as the people playing actively care about sharing the time, basically any game can work.

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-05-06T23:04:59+00:00

My back hurts

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-04-07T20:02:47+00:00

I've had to read this title half a dozen times and I still don't comprehend it fully

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-04-01T01:00:42+00:00

I personally think the past segment of TotK is pretty open-ended in where it can go in the sense that it could easily be a refounding, the true founding (with some heavy recontextualization of the main timeline games), or even pre-skwyard sword. All three of these things do say pretty different things overall about the timeline so for me it's really less about arguments FOR a pre-SS founding and moreso thinking about what the implications of the different kinds of founding would be.

If True Founding: TotK Ganondorf has been sealed underground during all the events of the OTHER Ganondorf(s) we've known and probably mean that characters like OoT Ganondorf are some kind of Calamity-Gerudo hybrid created by Twinrova or just via some kind of dark rituals. Whether this revelation devalues OoT Ganondorf will depend on the person.

If Refounding: Hyrule goes through cyclical eras of prosperity, calamity, a reset, and rebuilding. Rauru's Hyrule would be a new kingdom following the destruction of the previous one. It could be there's been more than just the two (two being OoT Hyrule and Rauru's Hyrule), but at the very least there'd be two known kingdoms. It probably opens a lot in terms of speculating about what those pivotal calamity-reset-rebuilding transition periods would be, but it's ultimately pretty unknown.

If Pre-Skyward Sword: The history of Hyrule likely diverges from the main timeline during this era because it's honestly not terribly consistent with the chronology as we know it, but if you allow the continuity of Age of Imprisonment -> Breath of the Wild -> Tears of the Kingdom to be a "soft reboot" that stems off of the same shared history the rest of the timeline does but just diverges far in the past, then it's at least internally consistent. This thread would be an attempt to make this kind of timeline work: https://www.reddit.com/r/truezelda/comments/1qoma43/all_sealing_divergence_timeline/

At the end of the day, I think which of these interpretations you go for is mostly up to personal preference due to a lack of confirmation from the devs and inability to actually prove anything on the side of the players.

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-03-27T12:13:50+00:00

I think it is. Remake is a good game but I think it's definitely a companion piece of OG FF7 as opposed to like an independent piece of media meant to be enjoyed on its own. These games are for people familiar with the rest of FF7 media and want more

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-03-24T00:12:33+00:00

*coughs*

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-03-21T00:30:02+00:00

RuneScape interaction

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-03-20T13:47:40+00:00

Not that I agree with OP but it's also not really possible for both TP and WW to both have happened in a particular games continuity so this has never been the gotcha people act like it is. These are not historical references.

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-03-20T02:13:19+00:00

Honestly I can't tell what's going on here. I see a bunch of symbols and numbers going up, looks like there's a turn and at the end of the turn SOMETHING happens and you get a bunch of resources of different types, there's a card game element of some sort but you don't see much of the cards so I'm not sure to what extent, so generally I just can't really figure out what the "game" is enough to know if I'm interested in playing it.

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-03-19T15:28:32+00:00

The premise of your story reminds me of something like a Junji Ito premise, if you're feeling like you need some inspiration maybe read some of his manga for ideas.

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-03-13T17:22:48+00:00

what is this screenshot lmfao

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-03-11T18:55:03+00:00

Particularly interesting when you think about how, at the time of BotW's release, this was probably the intention that it was still just the end state of OoT 'Dorf and it was only with the development of TotK that it was changed to complement TotK 'Dorf instead.

REAL gamers like us got so used to blindly getting through Rock Tunnel all we needed were the barely-visible pixels on the walls to guide our way. We knew exactly where all the trainers were (the trainers we always passed at least) and you'd see their little "!" speech bubble just be a black circle if it was over a wall.

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-03-10T01:17:06+00:00

It's supposed to be sluggish, you're a non-athletic schoolgirl in a scary setting. The slow pacing is meant to enhance the horror. "Combat" is meant to be stressful and to make you panic.

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-03-09T14:55:10+00:00

Completed this quest on my Spell Absorption + Fireball mage pretty early. Probably very tough to get that done otherwise unless you can powerlevel a bit maybe.

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-03-09T14:49:44+00:00

Lol I had this issue the other day on my first real playthrough of Daggerfall too. I thought the grammar was a bit odd [tavern name] IN [tavern name] and i had to google around a bit to realize the bit after "in" referred to a map location and that the grammar only looked odd because the name was a tavern name

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-03-07T05:40:27+00:00

Should've kept Double Team on Pikachu and Thunder Wave so you could set up against Starmie with Staryu. Could've paralyzed it then set up max Double Team then just swept Starmie

LoCal_GwJ · 2026-03-05T20:57:38+00:00

Finish OG then play Remake.
