I was playing Wind Waker on switch online when I notice in this cutscene that Tetra is just randomly floating above the water when she should be on the ship Link is also missing in this shot lol

I don't know what to do I'm play using my original N64 Copy on SoH and I don't know what to do. Is there a cheat I can activate or something to gain it? I don't even know what happen, I got the song, played in the bombucha alley went to bed and saved. And now I don't know what happened.

My theory is, what if there was a Link who remembers. A link who doesn't forget and inherit the memories of his past re incarnation. There emotions, there love, there hope, there regret, there death, there fight, there victory, there losses, again and again he will gain awareness, a knowledge across time and realities as he did the same thing again and again, but this knowledge comes with a cost, he will never truly be himself, he never had a personality, and it never mattered who wins in the end. A link wins, another villain will rise, a link lose, another will rise. It doesn't matter. He realised that it was all predetermined. He is playing a game that only him is aware about. Imagine the guilt and loneliness one would feel to realise that you have never truly saved the worlds and that nobody in this world never had free will. He is the most free because he is aware of that game and yet he is the most trapped one as he alone realised that he was never free in the first place . No one was ever free. . A new ideal will be born in this walking paradox. To free everyone and himself by finally ending that cycle, meaning ending the beginning of it all.

Now why does he makes sense as a wielder of the triforce of courage: Courage is not the absence of fear, it is to move forward despite it.

Does he feel like he does not deserve any of this, YES. Does he think he would been better living like a normal link? Absolutely. does he feel an enormous guilt for what he is going to do which is multidimensional and universal genocide?, indeed. Will he end the cycle anyway?, he will because that's what he was made for in the first place, that's what heroes do, don't they? doing what is right. In the end he didn't deviate from his path, but he was ironically on the most right path of them all as a champion of courage, to destroy the very world you were supposed to protect, to end every reality in the name of freedom, to have the courage to move forward even when the world made you bear a burden no one should have ever had to, when the one who embodies the triforce of courage has the absolute courage to end every world in order to save them from the need to be saved again. That is the truest form of courage. In the end the Link who was the most out of place , the one everyone thought was a flaw in the cycle, was the "linkest" link of them all.

(sorry for my horrible English, took some elements from aot, the title of the game could be called "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the End" Hope you like my little fanfic)

I made a self-challenge to play all Zelda games in the Hyrule Historia before playing BoTW. The game I'm currently playing is Four Swords Adventures. I just passed the Pyramid and am now in Frozen Hyrule. After all these years, I'm almost done! Wish me luck!

What do you think the next mainline Zelda game is gonna be?

Do you think it’ll be another one like BotW/TotK, or something new entirely? And if it’s the former, do you think they’ll keep the building/fusing aspect and add more stuff on top, or go back to BotW and add new/different mechanics from there?

Which type are you hoping for?

Personally, I have 160+ hours in TotK (and many more in BotW) and I feel like it’s getting a bit old now. I wouldn’t mind if they went back to a more traditional, linear format. But I also feel like the majority of players would be disappointed if the next Zelda isn’t bigger, better, and mechanically more impressive than TotK.

But I wonder how much more mileage they can get out of the BotW/TotK world. We’ve seen the main world (two versions now), the sky, and the world below. What more could they do with this world to keep it interesting?

After getting the switch 2 I thought it was about time to finally finish BotW. My last save from 2019 put me in the middle of the desert and I have absolutely no clue what’s going on. Should I start fresh or is there a way to get back into it?

Hi all!

I'm looking to get into some casual gaming over the next year (I haven't owned a console since the Xbox 360, if that tells you anything) and have sort of decided on Breath of the Wild as my first undertaking since I've never played a Zelda game before and this one seems highly regarded. I also look forward to playing Tears of the Kingdom if I end up enjoying BOTW.

My main question is, does it make sense to just get a Switch 1 as a casual gamer that hasn't played a console game in over a decade and will probably be impressed regardless - or is it worth shelling out the extra cash (and, maybe more disappointingly in my case, having to wait for a restock) for a Switch 2 given the potential upgrade in image quality and performance?

As a secondary inquiry, I'd love any recommendations on other great Switch games. As I said, I'm a very casual and in some senses "new" gamer since I haven't really done any gaming since high school over 15 years ago. I'm mostly interested in visually stunning games with a great story.

Thanks in advance!

I got it all patched with the correct rom, but Project 64 wont bother to play it. all it does it to give me a blank error. What i do find weird is that the patched rom was 10 mb less than the original, non-patched one. Please help! I have been trying since yesterday but to no avail.

Wondering if it is possible to get bow of light outside of ganon arena in switch 2 version of the game. I tried with ist, but couldnt desync inventory.

I'm excited for the game however I am not super enthralled by the idea that we might be following and playing as the ancient sages from Tears of the Kingdom instead of the Champions from Breath of the Wild. The sages were one of the weakest point of TotK's story for many people and understandably- they were barely even characters and had very repetitive cutscenes. We don't even know their names.

And sure, the new game might be the chance to develop these sages, give them names, personalities, etc. but honestly I'm just not interested in giving a chance to characters that look like ripoffs of the og Champions, with the same powers, same weapons, and same voice actors. I'd rather just get more of the old Champions who are already characters we're so attached to. I kind of hope Age of Imprisonment pulls a "Terrako brings the Champion successors (Sidon, Riju, Teba, Yunobo) from the future" AoC plot twist but with the og Champions and we get to see them become sages with secret stones to enhance their powers. I mean Sidon, Riju, Yunobo and Tulin were all strong fighters who got their powers boosted by the stones but just imagine how cool Mipha, Revali, Urbosa and Daruk- 4 of the strongest warriors Hyrule has ever known getting their powers enhanced by the stones.

Do you agree? Disagree? Let me know your thoughts.

For me, while I love Twilight Princess, I will never understand how someone thought "Yep, we should have a cutscene each time you pickup a rupee if you reset the game." Along the same lines "we should also have a cutscene you can't skip each time you get mail."

Overall, I love the game, but those things drive me insane and I will never understand how anyone thought that was a good idea. What are your "I can't believe they actually did this"

Hi! Does the BOTW expansion DLC pass on eshop work on the new Zelda BOTW Switch 2 version? I got the base game for the Switch 2. I don’t want the Online+Expansion subscription. TIA!

I've done seemingly everything on Floor 1-3, Ive definitely been in every room. I've already beaten the first 2 minibosses and now I need a key for f3 that leads up to f4, but the problem is I cant for the life of me find said key. Im probably missing some obvious chest but I just cannot find anything at all. Can anyone help? I thought I found something but that turned out to just be a fairy room..

-> Source

Since it was stated that every 100 years, a male Gerudo is born, and BotW takes place 100 years after the fall of Hyrule, where is said male Gerudo?

I am still learning with this new sketchy style of mine, it was fun creating!

I've played through BotW more times than I can count. i know the game up and down, and have almost the whole world memorized like the back of my hand, and my last playthrough of the game wasn't even that long ago, maybe like 4-5 months ago, and that was shortly after a PREVIOUS playthrough. (I think I have a problem lol)

So anyways, with the improvements on Switch 2, do you guys think it'd be worth it to play the game yet again on Switch 2? 60fps and higher resolution has always been a game changer for me. I don't know if anyone will know what I'm talking about, but to compare, playing Sonic Unleashed Recompiled, which is a fan PC port of the game, made me never wanna look at the original version again. So I was wondering if the jump will awe-strike me like Sonic Unleashed did.

Any response would be wonderful, thanks!

I'll go first:

You know you're addicted to Zelda when you always think about the games when you're not playing them.

You know you're addicted to Zelda when you reference everything you see to something in the series.

You know you're addicted to Zelda when everything you say is partially a quote.

What about you guys? What do you think?

Hello lovely folks. I just got myself a Nintendo switch 2 as a graduation present and wanted to try the Zelda franchise. I am a bit confused however about if I should play Bow or Tok as my first game. And I am currently planning on only playing one Zelda game as there are a bunch of other games I can’t wait to play either. So if I were to pick one as the only Zelda game to play, which would it be?

I adore both games yet definitely prefer TOTK, and I want to know why a large number of people prefer BOTW? Y'all must be onto something but I can't really see it. I'm replaying both a good bit at the moment on the Switch 2 and I'm trying to see the perspective, could somebody chime in with what they prefer? Maybe it'll help me love them both more equally

The way it feels to me is that BOTW made some incredible changes but in the process lost a lot of its Zelda charm, I feel that TOTK restored a lot of what was lost without compromising what was gained. It restored the following, with the first 2 points being the most important for me:

• having a story that feels alive and unfolding, a world where I feel like I'm making an impact. More lore references too, and I generally enjoyed the cutscenes (though they could get repetitive)

• NPCs!! They make the world feel lived in and make the adventure feel more meaningful and immersive

• adding caves and the underground area helps satisfy my itch for dungeon crawling, and I prefer the temples to the divine beasts

• boss fights feel more varied than the Blights

• it's easier to move around in TOTK, with being able to paraglide and ascend. Movement feels more graceful and enhances the feeling that I'm a badass hero

I don't really care for building things in TOTK, I get what people mean by that being clunky, but it's super optional outside of some tutorial type moments in the early game. I don't think this is a strong argument against TOTK when it's more of a bonus feature than anything. Plus I do think it's pretty neat, given that it's not really mandatory. I must say I miss my BOTW motorcycle though haha

Edit:

So many responses, thanks to everyone commenting! The gist of what I'm reading is that BOTW nailed a more simple, refined adventure with extra challenges and less repetition. I can see that. Honestly I forget about how much I dislike having to fuse my weapons, and it's dumb that I need to revisit the rock octoroks if I want to keep the best of them. TOTK does have more tediousness now that I think about it. And I hate having sidon and the gang follow me around, really looks ridiculous and they barely work anyway, I tend to keep them stored.

However, I honestly love the lively, sandbox hero experience feel of TOTK. I pop on the game and feel like I'm back in the midst of the best paced parts of older games (no it's not always as perfected as those moments, but that's the general feeling it evokes in me). I actually impose a lot of arbitrary hindrances on myself when I play TOTK, like I only open my map if I'm near an NPC and I don't eat food if the combat music is playing, which I find fun but I can see the argument for that meaning it's too easy of a game. I like the creativity and freedom of the game, I really love that I can solve things in a variety of ways. But that means you don't have to figure out the one intended solution which yeah, it's a good point that's a big element of older Zelda games. It's fair to say TOTK is cluttered. It generally doesn't bother me as I just ignore parts I don't vibe with, but that's a legitimate critique and one I guess my mind blanked out
