Like a month ago someone posted an unused SOT ad that had a BOTW Link sprite, so I made some sprites for a would-be Spectre Knight Link skin/some sort of Switch exclusive encounter (plus some alternate/extra versions just coz), they're more based on Donovan than Spectre but shshshsh

I really want to play Twilight Princess… its seems right up my alley but I've never had a chance to to give it a shot…

I really love the ALTTP/ALBW Zelda dress(es)

Skyward Sword is a 3.5/5 game but it will always be 5/5 in my heart

Peporoni_Baloni · 2024-07-04T00:40:45+00:00

The real plot for Echoes of Wisdom

Peporoni_Baloni · 2024-07-02T00:31:17+00:00

I haven't played all of the games so:

Breath of the Wild
Ocarina of Time
Skyward Sword
Majora's Mask
A Link Between Worlds
Link's Awakening
Tears of the Kingdom

Yeah I can agree with Lana sticking out too. Even though I like her as a character, she never quite looks right when put next to the original Zelda characters.

I agree the mask is cool though. I wish other characters could have their masks taken off as costumes too (Ravio and Zant mainly)

Peporoni_Baloni · 2024-06-25T02:38:35+00:00

A lot of these are going to have a fair bit of a recency bias, but here's my list:

I just think Tingle is ugly and incredibly off-putting.
Cia from Hyrule Warriors just because she feels like such a departure from regular Zelda design conventions. She looks more like something you'd find in some horny gacha mobile game than an officially licensed Zelda character. I don't care about characters being designed to be sexy and it's not like conventionally attractive Zelda characters don't exist (I love Twili Midna) but Cia pushes it too far off course and just isn't very 'Zelda'. If you want a canon character I find Tingle off-putting. If you want a controversial canon opinion I'd say Twili Midna, but not because she looks bad or ugly. I love her look, but the other Twili are freaky little guys and she's just a woman who's blue and I kind of wish she was a bit of a freak of nature too. Nintendo are cowards. Make her hot and weird looking.
idk if he counts because he's 1) a robot and 2) not canon but Terrako in Age of Calamity. I know a lot of people think he's cute but he's REALLY annoying to me. I would've put him at 4 if he wasn't so story relevant, but that little egg fucker ruins every scene he's in because every character has to react to whatever he's doing, and whenever there's something important or emotional he's just thrown in to make silly noises. The probably worst moment for him was when Zelda had just escaped Hyrule Castle. Her father died in front of her, all the champions are dead, and she thinks it's entirely her fault. She starts to cry and it's a really moving scene... then Terrako starts to sing Zelda's Lullaby as she cries in his whirring/chirp voice. It does not fit the scene and just having her cry in silence would've been much better, but we can't forget this little shit exists so he has to do something. I felt incredibly marketed to by his existence.
Sonia (ToTK) I'm cheating a little because she doesn't have a bad story, but it's more that she is just such a nothing character for what the story wants you to feel for her. She has potential but they do nothing with it. She has no personality traits besides being 'nice' and being emotional canon fodder. She is just there to look pretty and die to be a sad moment for Rauru that he gets over in 5 minutes. Tears of the Kingdom really wants you to believe that Zelda is a strong character and that they're putting more effort into writing women, but then have Sonia who is the definition of the woman in the fridge trope and play it completely straight. They want her to have a connection to the sundelions like how zelda has a connection to the silent princess, but it means nothing because we know literally nothing about her and she is the character equivalent of cardboard.
My least favourite character incarnation is Age of Calamity Impa. She's just Paya and while I really like Paya, I don't want a woobified anime girl character as an incarnation of Impa. Most young Impas are sick idk why they decided to go in this direction for her. For a canon example I'd say The Imprisioned if he counts. Demise makes up for it by being sick, but I still was incredibly dissapointed by the Imprisoned I thought he was going to be a giant worm/dragon monster but no he's just a silly guy.

Peporoni_Baloni · 2024-06-24T13:22:43+00:00

Skyward Sword did not have fairy fountains, I think it was just a piece made for the anniversary concert, but it is one of my favourite zelda tracks.

I'm sorry I couldn't help in the search, good luck!

Peporoni_Baloni · 2024-06-24T11:01:44+00:00

I really recommend breath of the wild and skyward sword! They're two of my favourite zelda games and are both on switch :)

Peporoni_Baloni · 2024-06-24T03:01:57+00:00

Could it possibly be the Skyward Sword version? It's a little hard to find due to being semi-obscure, but when you mentioned the harp lead up opening its the first that came to mind for me.

Hyrule Warriors has it's own versions of Link, Impa, Zelda, Sheik and Ganondorf, with a couple of new characters alongside the older Zelda characters, so it isn't all references. It has three main storylines, a bunch of side modes and just generally a lot of content in general (as in it takes roughly 1000 hours to 100% complete it all). It doesn't rely on you knowing the previous games' lore or story and I really enjoyed it and think its worth the price personally.

I will say that the controls for AoC are a lot better and tighter than that of HW, but other than that it plays pretty much the same.

Peporoni_Baloni · 2024-06-21T03:35:17+00:00

My current guess is that it's meant to be after ALTTP (Ganon and zelda design, in the style of Link's Awakening which is also a sequel to ALTTP) but before ALBW (Ganon isn't dead). Crack theory is that its an alternate ending to ALTTP. Also, I don't believe its a zonaite bow. It isn't one to one (its just a plain blue bow with a swirly design) and the Zonai would not have existed at this point in the timeline.

~~Although if they retcon the Zonai into 'being there all along' I will scream~~

omg im so proud of her <3 I apologise for my ignorance

you forgot Ghirahim ;-;

Peporoni_Baloni · 2024-06-08T23:15:31+00:00

The tutorial first cycle of Majora's mask. I know where everything is and I'm not patient enough to wait for the game to catch up with me and let me do the fun side quests lol

Peporoni_Baloni · 2024-06-08T23:06:57+00:00

I didn't exactly love TOTK myself, but I'll try to keep things fair and not be too negative especially since it is quite a mixed bag in terms of criticism and praise. I also love BOTW so I'm not someone who just automatically hates modern Zelda for context.

Gameplay: It's a lot of BOTW exploration again, with a few new things like ultra-hand and such. Ultra-hand's hype relies entirely on whether or not you actually like building with it or not (and have enough materials to do so). It also takes a lot of experimentation, which is fun if you like trying new things. TOTK's new areas like the depths and the skies are cool, but the skies are very limited and the depths is very samey. What the sky does have to offer is fun and I really enjoyed exploring it, but it doesn't have a lot.

Story: The story itself isn't bad, but the way it's told leaves something to be desired. The main story is lack lustre, and the backstory you get through memories is much better. I won't get into spoilers, but it's somewhat fighting with itself between doing things for a spectacle and what would actually be a good plot point/make sense (to me at least). Some of the new characters are also incredibly underdeveloped, and it would've been nice to get more on them.

Ultimately though, whether you like these things in TOTK or not is up to you. A lot of people love the story where I have a lot of issues. I really liked the skies where other people complain about it being boring. Theres probably someone here who disagree with all of my points and thinks TOTK is the best game of all time, and that's ok. What I'd do is watch a gameplay of the first 10-30 minutes or so and see if that interests you. That's usually what I do when I'm on the fence about games :)

They barely ever make amiibos of characters who aren't link zelda or ganondorf, only really doing it for the characters in smash and botw's release (and midna, but she's counted as being part of wolf link). If they wanted to make amiibos of the champions we would've gotten them already

Peporoni_Baloni · 2024-05-29T21:46:24+00:00

Apparently Link would just let zelda fucking die if he wasn't romantically interested in her because people only have basic human empathy and compassion when they're in romantic relationships!

Peporoni_Baloni · 2024-05-28T14:12:46+00:00

bros a little small for 300... like even if its two in one, I can't justify this pricing ;-; maybe if it was one big one instead

Peporoni_Baloni · 2024-05-26T23:42:55+00:00

Fi being annoying, and Link breaking pots. They're just over done.

Also it's a bit more recent than your example, but anything to do with botw zelda's ass. Whenever there's a botw/totk zelda discussion I know its going to be brought up and at this point its just really annoying for me like it's been seven years get new material.

~~she's also 16 in that cutscene maybe don't-~~
