purple_beard Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 JMO on the SE stuff: I'm fine with black. white, gold, and green being used for a Zelda SE JC, dock, Pro, case.... However, all of these are ugly IMO. I think there was a better way to do the JCs, especially with how sweet the Skyward Sword pair are. It just doesn't look coherent. The dock looks off with so much white and no green. The Pro controller kind of has some cool patterns but the one white grip looks odd as hell in the design layouts. How the gold trickles up and around also just look odd. The case is ok, but nothing special. But with all these circles in the designs, I', left wondering what the big deal with them is. Seems too on purpose to be coincidence. Gold Zelda Wiimote looked way better. The SS JCs looked way better. Even some of the designs for the SE 3DSs looked better. Quote Link to comment

My opinion but despite how these JC look to you I think they are better than the Skyward Sword pair. (and I really like those JC too) I don't see to me how the Skyward Sword JC look better than these but to each their own. Yeah, there was some symmetry (if you can call it that with Skyward Sword JC with the sword symbol and shield symbol around but those JC were two different colors in another way than these JC) Skyward Sword JC. But these ones are just on another level when it come to the intricacy of the controller and color, to me. I get why it is like this. So as you said you don't get it so that is a part of the reason why you don't like these JC, to each their own again. Quote Link to comment
Eliwood8 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Wow Nintendo really saw all the crazy videos of people doing crazy stuff with Stasis and whatnot in Breath of the Wild and said "let's up the ante" didn't they? Can't wait to see what people cook up with these new abilities. Shadow118, DLurkster and Uni 3 Quote Link to comment

Can't wait to see what people cook up with these new abilities. Pretty much. I knew the reason this game was taking this long was because some crazy new mechanics, well here they are! Like the original game, its physics had to be constantly tested. These mechanics had to be thoroughly tested to make sure no bugs popped up. This concept seems limitless but because of that a lot of testing had to be done to make sure nothing glitchy happens. So cool how this turn out and their hard work is gonna pay off.

EH_STEVE Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Also, random, I'm thinking of getting some of the detailing Link's "magic arm" has worked into my pre-existing Zelda sleeve. Wrong arm, but still. Just a way to fill in some blanks and have it transition to my chest. Quote Link to comment

Sold out. The BBY one within 20 minutes and it was still in stock (I think they had more stock, Wal-mart came back and sold out again) Also, no FOMO why I got this and I rather get as a trade, there just won't be any to trade the day it sales. Tho, I would like answer if I should PO but I was left with no choice with how I know the stock works with these things. Man, selling my V2 Switch just have to see how that goes.

Which one's cooler? purple_beard 1 Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I'd say the wooden plaque is cooler, that's wood my dude. If I knew how big the scroll is I think I might be more on board but it's too ambiguous to know how big or small it is. Then again, what do I know. I can't get any of these not because one of them is sold out but this is US only for these stores and I'm up here in Canada. I saw maybe a few days ago or a week ago we have store exclusives too but I didn't pay them any mind not that they weren't intriguing but I'm just lucky I was able to get CE and the TotK OLED. Tho, I was reluctant, I might as well. My Zelda bias will always win tho not necessary to get those versions. (well there's a reason for the OLED, recently) Quote Link to comment
Juanblue85 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Tomorrow marks one month before release and maybe there will be some more footage coming. I'm rolling the dice that maybe we will get something new shown next week or the following before release. Quote Link to comment

EH_STEVE Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 Fuck maybe I do want to see it. Someone watch it and tag me if it's spoiler-free. Basically not giving (much) more away than the previous trailers and gameplay shown. Quote Link to comment

Usually I do allow myself official trailers only. I avoid the "breakdown", "what you missed", etc type analysis videos and theory discussions as well as I usually avoid any gameplay footage. I watched it this time, but like if there was a Nintendo Treehouse type gameplay showcase, I would skip it. Part of me is "it's a month away, no more info", but a bigger part is "ZELDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" and wants to see it. Being that it's an official trailer, the last one at that, it's likely to be a "get yourself hyped up" type trailer. So as long as any new STORY info seems to be early game, I'm good with that.

purple_beard Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Wrapped up gx's predictions video... Points of interest: Dungeons confirmed? Multiplayer/coop? Playable Zelda? More powers shown? More on the underground? New/More vehicles shown? Robot from AoC make an appearance? Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 @EH_STEVE : I know you said only mention you, if it is spoiler free but I thought to say, I think you would think this trailer would be a minor spoiler, well at least when it comes to a few characters and the locations in spoilerest order. The thing about gameplay mechanics it is out of context similar to locations than characters and that is sprinkled in there with character and location spoilers. So yeah, avoid at your best if you somehow see or you succumb to the trailer. Tho, I got to say and I think you already know this but this game is fucking beautiful, this trailer really displayed more so than ever. That's it and all I am gonna say. Quote Link to comment
