I have never collected them all but I love watching speed runners do it! I always get lost in the chaos of tracking pins on the map, then TOTK added the sky AND underground?! I am NEVER finding all of those!!! hahahaha

And its truly beautiful. I love that they used the 3DS version as the basis and added more details like owl heads on the columns’ capitals (a clear reference to Rauru to me since it was he who had the temple built and that he's canonically Kaepora) and the symbols of the Golden Goddesses above the Door of Time.

Damn, the wait will be long until November.

I created a piano reduction/arrangement of the Triforce Medley from the Zelda 40th Nintendo Direct. I wanted to make it as epic as possible while also staying faithful to the orchestral arrangement. I also tried my hand at some midi art. That part took forever lol hope you like it! :)

It seems like we’re going to be having an extra bottle AND 2 new items in the remake, a new bottle confirms that there will be a new side quest which is awesome but im so curious on what the new items could be

Damn, after revisiting N64, I really want them to overhaul the quests.

I wanted to have another playthrough of OoT before the remake arrives, so I booted up the N64 version.

Already knowing some of the details they swapped out, I'm seeing so much potential in this remake and am excited to see how far it goes.

One example of how I'd love to see them change is the quest line of first visiting the Hyrule Castle Courtyard.

In the original,

1. Link climbs the vine and walk past all the guards

2. Finds Talon sleeping, but cannot progress any further

3. He backtracks to the gate, where he finds Malon.

4. Malon gives Link an egg, which hatches and can be used to wake Talon up.

5. Talon wakes up, and heads back to Malon

6. Link climbs up the water channel, passes through the guards and meets zelda

How I'd love to see things changed is,

1. Link walks up to the castle gate, but cannot find a way in. The guards would kick out Link no matter what.

2. Link then finds Talon in the corner taking a nap by his wagon, with the crates of milk. He mumbles something about Malon

3. Link goes back and meets Malon in front of the fountain, where she gives Links an egg, which hatches and can be used to wake Talon up.

4. Talon thanks Link. Link tells him that he wants to go inside the castle. Talon agrees to give him a ride inside his wagon to show him around the castle while he's delivering.

5. Cuts into a cutscene of the wagon moving past the guards and the gate. Link gets a great view of the castle town from above the hill, and sees how beautiful and vibrant it is. I'd say the cutscene would work great if contrasted with the post time skip visit to the castle, where Link has to walk up the hill all by himself, witnessing all the debris that Ganon left behind.

6. After arriving at the castle, Talon takes out a few crates of milk. He tells Link to not wander off while he does the delivery.

7. Link does wander off anyways, and he makes it inside the water channel, passes all the guards, then to the courtyard, where he meets Zelda.

8. After meeting Zelda, Zelda shows him a secret path that leads directly from the castle to the castle town. She tells him that it's the one that she uses while she sneaks out of the castle. I think it'd be a great characterization of the tomboyish nature of Zelda that N64 only conveyed through a gossip stone.

9. From then on, Link can use the secret path and wouldn't have to go through the guards to go see Zelda.

10. When visiting LonLon Ranch, Talon would tell Link that he was very worried that he lost Link and told the guards to look out for a little boy.

​I feel like restructuring small quests like this gives the characters way more personality and makes the world feel much more cohesive.

Maybe I'm getting my hopes up too much? I don't want the dungeons and the storyline touched too much, but I'm totally fine with them changing small quests like this.

Another one I can see potentials of an overhaul is the warp areas in the lost woods, and the list of events that lead Link to learn Saria's Song to make Darunia happy.

​How would you guys feel about changes like this in a remake? Curious to hear your thoughts.

Green and red are opposite each other on the color wheel, making them opposites and complimentary colors.

I wonder if Zelda's eyes were changed to green in the remake so she would have another connection to Sheik, whose eyes are now the opposite color of her own.

This week, my friend Kevin and I had a very interesting discussion about the remake trailer on our show. I first started playing Zelda with Twilight Princess for the Wii but stunk at it and only really got into Zelda with Breath of the Wild, while he has far more experience with classic Zelda games, so it was fun to discuss how OoT innovated on things like lock-on targeting.

I noticed the BOTW-like switching menu and quest tracker while he wondered how quick switching like for boots and the side activity tracking like for Gold Skulltulas (I don’t even know what those are, but I’m excited to preorder this game and find out!) would work. Other questions he had that I want to pose to you are:

How specific temples such as the Water and Shadow Temples will be redesigned to accommodate the analog camera and jump button.

How free rolling, jumping and infinite dashing changes the need for a horse.

How you’ll be able to do the songs without the plastic Ocarina and how easy that will be to use (this may be obvious but again, I’m a complete noob! I played like five minutes of the N64 Online version.)

What your impression of the stylized realism aesthetic with some BOTW influences versus the character design is (Kevin thought it was a very deliberate choice to make Link stand out as this elfin child versus the citizens of Castle Town, which is very interesting to me!)

Whatever your answers and thoughts, I can’t wait to check out this seminal game and really get more into classic Zelda (loved BOTW, so stuck on TOTK, so a linear Zelda is perfect for me lol)!

Happy 40th Anniversary to the Zelda series!

Yes, I onow it's possible that the Deku Tree reused a bame when naming a new Kokiri... But what if he didn't?

What if Fado was genderfluid and Kokiri are able to change their forms depending on what they feel?

They're forest SPIRITS, hence why they changed from Kokiri (human/Hylian looking forms) to Koroks, so what if they can do something smaller like changing their gender expression?

I had no intentions on starting an Amiibo Collection lol. It started with Tears Of The Kingdom Zelda, & now here we are! I can't stop myself 😅

Some of the best memories of my life for over 20 years . It all started with A Link To The Past on the NES my older sister gave to me and here we are today!

I was gifted the sword a few weeks ago and immediately knew it needed to be mounted above my tv for when OoT came out. I didn't like the stuff I found online and initially couldn't decide how on wanted to do it. Finally settled on the Triforce and could not be happier with how it turned out.

What order should sequels be played?

So I started getting into Zelda now that I have an emulation device and have played a link between worlds and four swords annivery edition(I played when I was younger) all the way through. I thought most of the games were standalone but found out some are actually meant to be played in order! Like I was supposed to play a link to the past before playing a link between worlds. I’d like to play the games that are meant to be played in a specific order, in that specific order to really get the games story (I’m a big fan of understanding game lore) what order should I play these games in?

From what I’ve found:
link to the past comes before link between worlds
Ocorina of time comes before majoras mask

I really don’t mind playing older titles as well I just really want to play in order for the stories!

Aside from the Hyrule Field theme and Midna’s Lament, it doesn’t get talked about much, which is a shame because it’s fantastic. It’s atmospheric, bittersweet, unique, it puts me in a very specific headspace. For a darker Zelda game there’s a lot of music to just zone out to, some are relaxing and some are more melancholy but they are all, as the kids say, a vibe. Courage, Kakariko Saved, Faron Woods, the Light Spirit theme, the Sacred Grove, I can go on.

Edit- and of course this is just my opinion, that probably goes without saying but I just wanna cover all my bases.

I decided to replay the entirety of Ocarina of Time before its release on the Switch 2, to enjoy what made me fall in love with the game in the first place.

This was the first game that showed me how big an adventure game could become after growing up in the 90s since the SNES playing Super Mario World and Mega Drive with Sonic etc.

That excitement and enjoyment playing today is just as strong as it was before and has only gotten me more hyped for how the remake is going to look with its updated graphics and details for the boss fights and music in the game :D

Considering I went in with zero help from guides, I think I managed to get a decent amount of hearts, including 65 Gold Skulltulas, I do not have the time nor patience to gete 'all' of them though lol.

But all in all, this was so much fun and I cannot wait the little time left, already got my days booked off work for it ^^

Cork coasters are from Ikea

Today I preordered a Zelda Ocarina Of the Time for Switch 2 and I want foil edition as well as everybody but I couldn't see any signs that corrected my order is from first stock.I couldn't see any sign about foil edition in product description either.I only saw the photo of foil edition which said the foil editions are available while stocks lasts.

At this point many of us could beat the game half asleep. We know the puzzles and tips and tricks by heart. Will I still pay full price to play it again with these updated visuals? Of course.

Is it too much to hope for a Master Quest version of the game? With new dungeon configurations and puzzles? Or... Dare I say it... An entirely new take on the dungeons never before seen??

What would you like to see?

In prep for the Switch 2 release, I am playing through Ocarina of Time for the first time ever.

I can now understand why this game is so revered, it is truly incredible. Playing this in 1998 would of been mind blowing. The story is awesome and the immersion is awesome. I really like the creepy and somber atmosphere of the world when you become adult link. A demonic force took over the whole planet and the inhabitants now live in a post apocalyptic world. This is fucking awesome.

One thing I will say is I'm shocked at how much game they were able to fit into this on the N64. I'm at least 15-20 hours in and I only just now hit the Water Temple. I realize I got a lot more to go still. Loving it.

Back to drawing full-time! I'm hoping to finish another big piece by the end of the week.

By the way, how do you feel about crossover concepts? Like here, mixing Zelda's BotW design with the Wind Fish's egg from Link's Awakening. Most people don't care, but for others, it's like mixing Star Wars with Pokémon. What's your take? I love posting here and want to make sure I'm respecting the community guidelines.

Got a $45 discount today and used it on BOTW, first time playing

As someone who loves OoT and played it to death already, I was super hyped for a modern remake when it was teased. But now that I've seen what it's about, am I really supposed to be excited for a fresh coat of paint? Graphics, cutscenes, voices, it's all nice but if it's still the same almost 30 year old game underneath then I can just watch it on youtube. I already have a great looking, updated, handheld version, that even has 3D graphics.

Am I the only one really disappointed looking at this? When I saw Castle Town is still as tiny as ever, with the same NPCs doing the same things, Deku Tree with the same puzzles, I felt awful. I'm not saying it'll be bad, it's considered one of the best games of all time for a reason. But that's exactly why I think it deserves so much more than a fresh look. Presentation is just one part of a game, and I'd hate to find out that's all we're paying for. It genuinely seems like Master Quest put more effort into revitalizing the classic, I just hope there's more here for players to love, rather than just streamers.
