The Legend of Zelda Series

[talonmalon333]

So now that I can finally play Twilight Princess... this epic adventure begins with me trying to get a cat to cross a bridge until he glitches into the water and I have to enter/exit a house to reset the level and try again. Awesome!

Told you the opening needed to be truncated.

You can't use his criticism of the opening of the game to mock it, before he corrected himself.

Still, the opening isn't all that great. Zelda games do a good job at building character, but this would be better if they made all that optional and gave you the ability to just jump right into the section where you have to chase the monkey into the woods. But, I really like the atmosphere of Ordon Village.

Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword have obnoxiously long openings while A Link Between Worlds' opening is really quick. I'm really hoping Zelda Wii U continues to take inspiration from ALBW especially in this area.

To be honest, outside of having to do the goat-herding mini-game a second time, I actually liked the opening. But the game definitely gets way better once you get the (wooden) sword.

[gunswordfist]

Ah, herding. That was so much fun in Red Dead Redemption.

Five Secret Zelda Themes in Tri-Force Heroes! There's also Wind Waker and Link's Awakening music in there as well.

I just watched a stream of this. It definitely looks like a Four Swords sequel. Lots of multiplayer fun.

Crystal Chronicles challenge!

I guess this'll have to do in the absence of a proper CC Gamecube sequel.

Hey Foggle, have you reached any dungeons yet?

[Spark Of Spirit]

I don't think he's played for 6 hours yet.

[talonmalon333]

I hate that you're making fun of this game, but I also hate that you're right. It takes a while to get to the first dungeon.

Still, Twilight Princess is phenomenal in every other way. I'd say it basically just gets better and better as it goes on.

Hey Foggle, have you reached any dungeons yet?

Didn't get to play at all yesterday, but I think I got to the first one just before I stopped on Wednesday. Was about 3.5 hours in, I think? It's the room right after the area where the monkey and kid were captured in the prologue.

My good friend Beard Blade has given me a Zelda Triforce Heroes 3DS demo code so first come, first serve in my pm box to whoever wants it. I'm sure y'all know about the times you need to play it and how it's not a single player demo and whatnot but I'll explain if you need me too.

Why does Wind Waker HD have such extreme bloom? I mean, I imagine they were going for that open sea/beach vibe of making sunlight really bright, but it's really overdone.

[gunswordfist]

First world problems.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Twilight Princess HD is real.

Wolf Link amiibo announced. Additions to the game will be announced later. Combo pack is out March 4th and the soundtrack is a preorder bonus.

A little bit of new footage of Zelda Wii U was shown, too. Not much at all, but it certainly looks really nice. And it was re-confirmed for 2016.

[Foggle]

Guess I shouldn't have bought that GameCube version then!
