Ganon was a letdown. (Spoilers inside)

Posted: 04 May 2017 07:27 AM PDT

I mean, he looked pretty cool and all, but this was one of the easier final boss fights I've encountered in 30 years of gaming. I literally found him by accident by climbing walls and waterfalls in Hyrule Castle. Once inside, I just wailed on Calamity Ganon with the master sword (which has double HP inside the castle), and then figured out that I needed to just deflect his laser beams when he was in his final form.

Fighting the Divine Beast Ganon was almost silly. Zelda gives you a special bow with unlimited arrows, then gives you Fi-like narration about where to hit him. Why wasn't there any ability to do a final sword strike a la OOT and WW? I love the hell out of the rest of the game but the final fight seemed like an afterthought.

If you equip a shock arrow and leave the controller idle it will eventually shock Link and he'll drop his bow.

[BoTW]: The Heineighous inccident or how Bokoblins jumped to the top of my shitlist.

Posted: 04 May 2017 09:40 AM PDT

So coming late to the party and having (thankfully) avoided almost all spoilers the way BoTW handled your usual hooved companion came to me as a total surprise.

You get to tame your own mount??

Much celebration and libations!

If you didn't guess it I'm a huge horse fan and finally having say in when and where you get your horse (and what kind) was something I always wished the earlier LoZ games would've had.

So naturally I went for the first sleek black stallion (presumably) I spotted, only to quickly learn they weren't kidding with the "spotted for newbs, one tones for pros".

After 30 or so mins of trying and failing spectacularly I finally caved in and hopped onto the nearest two tone that was close enough and unsurprisingly got myself a gentle 3x2 for my efforts.

Only this workhorse, christened Felicia soon after "recruitment", would quickly grow on me.

Before I knew it I cared more about my trusty steed than I honestly did about any of the plot relevant characters.

After dealing with the whole stone elephant issue I happened across the untamed wilds called me again, only little did I know that that call was that of the death knell.

In the midst of my Shrine searching soon after I ran into a pair on unruly, mounted Bokoblins, yay.

Only these fuckers had fire arrows, even more yay.

The sinking feeling in my gut only grew worse when suddenly my hooved pal toppled underneath me in the midst of some time honored mounted archery shenanigans.

Wait... WHAT???

My mount can actually DIE???

I mean it makes sense.

She had tanked a few arrows during all of this, but given how she'd not even fliched I'd assumed that only the player could receive damage when hit mounted.

Welp, proved that wrong.

Needless to say I was quite pissed and made it my sworn mission to off those cheeky Bokoblin fuckers.

Revenge though it might've been, sweet it was not and I made a mental note to fuck over any and all Bokoblins I would face from that point on, this time with extreme prejudice!

And then it hit me, I was genuinely sad about the death of something, that in the end, should've only ammounted to a means of faster transportation.

BoTW, what are you doing to me??

So yeah, that happened.

My apologies if this post is unnecessary or irrelevant, I just thought I'd share one of my all time strongest videogame "plot" moments.

And seriously; FUCK. ALL. BOKOBLINS!!

[BotW] News Flash: Hylian boy falls from cliff, but he was found burned alive, was it suicide or murder?

Older person playing BOTW is looking for a few patient Zelda friends to help me with the game, mostly about buttons or combinations.

Posted: 03 May 2017 01:04 PM PDT

Hello.

I'm looking for a few Zelda BOTW friends on here who would be willing to help an older lady now and again I'm playing on a Switch. (By older I mean pushing 50 - does that count?) Anyone who is patient and who won't laugh at seemly simple questions like: What button brings up the magnetic thingee? Or, how do I sprint when running? How do you do the fancy moves with the sword?

A Walk though (which I try to use minimally) will show you WHAT to do it, but I get sometimes get stuck on the HOW. I would prefer not to regularly embarrass myself in public by asking these kinds of questions for all to see.

A little background about me and generally useless info:

Back in the late 90's I was in a car accident and laid up for a few months. My friend brought me his N564 to loan and one of the games was Ocarina of Time. I was OBSESSED with this game! I was hooked from then on and now I've played most games since then and even bought a 3DS & Wii just so I could play the associated Zelda games.

I actually didn't finish Skyward Sword because I got to a dungeon in the sky and for the life of me couldn't get through it after about 50-60 tries. I'm not very coordinated on top of it all. So here I am, deeply in LOVE the Zelda games but I have a very, very difficult time trying to figure stuff out. It's the buttons. Like it takes me HOURS to learn the buttons. And I can't My learning curve is STEEP -- I can't remember the combos in the heat of the battle, my adrenaline surges or whatever so I just use the basics.
As an example, I spent the whole night googling how to bring up the magnet thingee in the first dungeon. I could SEE what I needed to do, I just couldn't figure out the button.

See? Dumb, I know.. but I'm really trying and I love the game, the puzzles and atmosphere so much!

I'm also very, very slow. It will me a year to finish this game. I only have about 1 hour per day to play and that's only if I give up my Animal Crossing New Leaf play time.

So is there anyone out there who would volunteer to get a PM and answer my seemingly silly questions now and again?

EDIT: HOLY CRAP THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You are some of the nicest folks on Reddit!

Is the English VA in BotW really that bad?

Posted: 04 May 2017 08:42 AM PDT

I guess I must have an unpopular opinion. Playing through the game, the only character's voice that irked me slightly was Mipha's. Urbosa and Revali were my favorites, and even though Zelda's voice actress missed the mark in a couple places (namely the Return of Calamity Ganon memory) I thought she did just fine. Is there anyone else out there besides me that doesn't have much of an issue with the English dubbed voices? Or am I just not being critical enough?

Playing in Japanese voice has confirmed my belief about what "issues" the Eng version has.

Posted: 03 May 2017 08:58 PM PDT

For a while I've said I never hated British Zelda, but something was off about her voice compared to the other english VA's. After going through nearly every cutscene possible (all the memories and a few story bits with the alive friends) in both JP and ENG, I've almost certain of my original theory.

They (the English audio team) did a crappy job on the sound level balance for Zelda. There are a few points where ENG Zelda and JP Zelda differ on acting, like the crying scene, in english Zelda's tone jumps from upset to rather quiet (Specifically the point where she looks up and goes "it's all my fault) while the JP VA maintains a consistent tone and panic level through the whole scene.

However these line delivery differences are only rather minor.

The bigger issue is the sound balancing. The JP team balanced all their characters very well, it sounds like the voice is coming from the person we see speaking on screen, and the voice blends ambient sounds of nature. ENG Team, for whatever reason made Zelda's voice sound..disconnected from her body as well as been awkwardly louder than the other audio in the scenes. It sounds unnatural and makes the ENG VA's work seem lower quality than it actually is. Rather than sounding like Zelda is speaking to me, it sounds like someone is going ventriloquism. Now this isn't consistent sometimes they got it fine, but generally the ENG VA's sound balancing and blending is noticeably worse than the JP team and I assume other countries teams but I can't make that call obviously. As a rather long time anime and japanese game fan I can say with confidence it's not a shoddy lip sync job. They've somehow made this weird "almost as bad as terrible lip syncing but not quite" situation where you get the disembodied feeling from it without the sync been that bad at all.

So I put forward to the community, you can still have a preference over which VA you prefer cause they do decided to deliver the lines differently at key moments and go for a different emotional style. However a good amount of flack directed at the ENG Zelda should be directed toward the audio team rather than the VA's acting direction.

Where the Breath of the Wild Things Are

I never really thought of this game as one for screenshots, but I thought this one looked pretty cool.

[BoTW] Talking to a lizalfos at the end of the world.

If hyrule was an actual kingdom in the medieval times.

Posted: 03 May 2017 11:49 PM PDT

This is largely speculative and mostly for fun, but if Hyrule existed as an actual kingdom in the medieval times, A somewhat alternate timeline occurs in which the following is noted.

  • This version of hyrule is not linked to the official timeline whatsoever, but is based on hyrule in both the unified timeline and the decline timelines with influences from the child timeline.

  • Thanks to the triforce, Hyrule is several eras more advanced than the rest of England, Having achieved Bronze age levels of advancement during the paleolithic period as one example. Having swords and decent clothing while everyone else wore animal hides and brandished flint spears. It doesnt have the futuristic technlgoy it had in BotW but it's pretty advanced in the eyes of the people during that time.

  • The kingdom on started to expand following the fall of the Roman empire, and expanded even further during the reign of king john the 1st (Hylians called him the Phony king of england) after his disastrous attempt to lay seige on hyrule.

  • Hyrule occupies half of northern wales, parts the english midlands, half of northern england and parts of southern scotland . One notable kingdom that sat on the Anglo-Hylian Border is the kingdom of Nottingham. Sherwood forest being part of the kokiri forest.

  • Hyrule enjoyed a lengthy era of peace and prosperity during the medieval warm period.

  • Hyrule is the most prominent kingdom in Medieval england, if not the true rulers of all England. although England already had a monarchy, the decisions made by the english monarchy had to go through the approval of the hylian monarchy. no other kingdom dare to challenge their authority since hyrule is in possession of it's triforce. however some kings genuinely thought they could overpower hyrule and take the triforce for themselves.

  • Hyrule began to decline after the medieval warm period ended, when the black death reached england (and engulfed hyrule along with it), and well into the Elizabethan period after the establishment of the church of England by king Henry VIII. Worship of the golden goddesses and the goddess Hylia, was considered heresy, and due to religious intolerance, england started to absorb hyrule's territory.

  • Sometime around the reformation and after decades of decay, Hyrule completely disappeared from the map, after being sacked of anything valuable, and burned by the current king of england at the time.

  • in the present day, Hyrule has achieved a mythical status similar to Camelot, and various expeditions were made to try and locate the ruins of this lost kingdom. Remnants of hyrule's existence is scattered throughout england, ranging from sacred or magical artifacts, such as the master sword, to pieces of buildings taken back as spoils, such as several stained glass windows.
