Playing Hyrule Warriors as well, trying to do the basic Adventure map. Boy is it time-consuming.

As someone who uses the minimap a lot for navigation, I've been missing the BOTW/TOTK feature of showing both Link's orientation and the camera's orientation on the minimap...


Had a thought: Is Link's Awakening the only Zelda game where most/all bosses talk to you instead of being mindless beasts?

The Oracle games had that too as I recall. (Or at least Smog did...I hate Smog.)

[up][up] Moreso the only Zelda game where the majority, or all of the bosses in the dungeon, talk to you before or after fighting you… but certainly this contributed to Link's Awakening having the unique, somewhat melancholy undercurrent it has running, even despite the wackier visuals.

It's why you actually take notice, when the bosses who came in the games to release after, include dialogue. Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess and Spirit Tracks help spice things up, in my opinion.

Can someone explain why the Gorons getting addicted to a certain rock roast is supposed to be dangerous, compared with an extreme blizzard, a sandstorm/zombie apocalypse and a heavy pollution?

It made them surly and mean, and also uncaring of any destruction they were causing by mining so much.

It's also monster flesh, which, while it may not be a problem for Link (sometimes), is probably not healthy to be the only thing they eat. Or at all.

It's been fun.

A while back, a guy named DougDoug crossed the entire Tears of the Kingdom map from one end to the other with base stamina and no equipment in a straight, Vertical Line. Well, now someone is attempting to do the same thing with a Horizontal Line.

Just started the Game Cube version of Twilight Princess last night.

Definitely like it more than the Wii version. Not sure if I prefer it over HD.

You know, I have to wonder why Pit is obsessed with this site. It’s gonna ruin his life!

I miss magazine ads like that. They used to get so creative.

I think a big part is that magazines aren’t as widespread these days… especially not gaming magazines, like Nintendo Power (RIP).

Flashbacking to childhood right there.

(Of course as a side effect of 9/11 every time I see Ganon's Tower collapse in OoT I get reminded of how the Towers fell)

Okay, but Ganon's Tower had it fucking coming. The man turned Hyrule into a living hellhole for seven years straight, my pity well for the man is bottomed out.

Looking back, I can see why Ganondorf was Captain Falconized in Melee. I mean, what did he have in his own home game? A floor pound? An energy tennis ball? Some laser attack the takes like five minutes to charge and you would be stupid to not shoot an arrow in his face during it? Ironically, one thing he clearly shows (hovering) they DON'T give him in Smash (wide run then stick up butt run in Brawl).

Nor his organ playing skills, but that makes sense since they didn't give Sheik her harp either.

.....in fact, with howmuch musical instruments plays role in the Zelda series, Smash skips that aspect.

I always wondered why Ganon's Tower behaved kinda like it was made of paper. I used to joke it was actually made of cardboard.
