Previously directed arguably the most controversial entry in one of the greatest video game franchises ever. (I love Skyward Sword, but it's hard to deny that.) He also never really got any spotlight or any interviews for it--seemed like Miyamoto and Aonuma were mostly the ones in the spotlight for it, despite Fujibayashi being director.

Then Breath of the Wild hits. Imagine now:

Being the director of one of the most acclaimed entries in one of the most acclaimed franchises ever
Being the director of one of the most acclaimed games of the generation
Hosting hours of game developer conferences because of how much ingenious game design there is to unpack
Winning Best Game Direction
Winning Nintendo's first Golden Joystick since Super Mario 64
Winning Nintendo's first Spike VGA/Game Awards since it begun in 2003
Being on track to absolutely sweep Game of the Year this year. The last Nintendo game to do that was Ocarina of Time--maybe Super Mario Galaxy
Being on track to have the best selling Zelda game ever
Actually being in interviews and stuff, sharing the stage and stage time with the legendary Aonuma

I'm honestly most pumped for him. To have such esteem and acclaim and such a comeback in game direction is outstanding.

Really cute thing I noticed about the new DLC (Spoilers inside)

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 12:51 AM PST

The side quest for the ancient bridle and saddle takes you to two locations where each piece is found. One of these places is the secret spring on the Satori mountain, where the easter egg tribute to the late Satoru Iwata is located. With the DLC releasing only one day after what would have been Mr. Iwata's 58th birthday, I thought this was another heartwarming nod to the man and all he's done for not only Nintendo, but the gamers who grew up with his games.

The Champions' Ballad after thoughts

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 08:03 AM PST

I just got done with the DLC and I loved it, it had a good amount of challenge and the story was actually really fun to learn more about the champions. But I'm left feeling a bit teased because I was hoping it would have an extra ending to it or just something more. Am I the only one left with that feeling?

Armor Inventory Limit! Big issue with DLC 2

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 06:28 AM PST

Turns out, your armor is capped at 5 pages. There is simply not enough armor slots to collect all of the base game armor, DLC armor, and Amiibo armor.

You arent able to delete clothing from your inventory either, so there is no way for me to finish the Dark Ganon set and the other new sets released last night.

They really need to patch this.
