All Zelda games forevermore should be required to have Bomb Arrows, which was TP's greatest innovation. I hear that there is a sort of trick to accomplish a similar "bazooka" effect in Link's Awakening; I need to play that! An another note, has anyone played the Four Swords game that was bundled on a GBA cart with a port of Link to the Past? Playing it unlocks a few things in LttP, and as I still have two GBAs I was thinking about hooking them up and clearing it so that I can enjoy the new content. I wasn't sure if Four Swords had a lot of live combat, which would make playing it solo basically impossible, or if it was more puzzle oriented and I might be able to BS my way through playing two Game Boys. I also hope that they release Four Swords Anniversary Edition for download again sometime. I missed it both times that it's been offered previously.

Bombs on A, bow on B. pressing them in quick succession, bombs right before bow.

The Bomb Arrow was straight up lifted from Link's Awakening. You had to have the bow and bombs equipped and then press both at the same time. It was an intentional bit of programming that had a few uses within the game.

I'm playing OoT3D for the first time, and am I getting old or did they make Ingo way harder to race? That fucker cuts me off worse than any inner-city cab I've ever driven behind

Is it possible to succeed in the terrible default horse he gives you? I once ran the race on that because I forgot to call over Epona before talking to Ingo again. It uh... did not go well.

I don't think it's possible. The horse is slow and Ingo is a cheating bastard so he starts a second before you.

The AI is pretty exploitable though. Regardless, I don't believe there's a case in the game for getting a non-Epona horse so it's pointless to try.

I read that you can win with a different horse, but you're still rewarded with Epona.

I didn't know you could even do the race with any horse other than Epona. I knew you could ride them in the pen but that was about it.

Bridge one you need the clawshot, 2nd one I think you have to hang by your hands and shuffle along the ledge, if it's the one I'm thinking of. (Ed: and the wolf can tightrope-walk, in case you forgot that.) Runcible Cat fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Jun 30, 2016 |

The hang by your hands one took me a while to figure out since I don't think you ever need to do that anywhere else except maybe the opening?

There's another chest on one end of the bridge over Lake Hylia you have to do that to get to, and maybe one in the Lost Woods too? But yeah, other than those it's hardly used at all.

Yeah, if you talk to Ingo while you're riding the default horse, he still challenges you to a race. The default horse sucks pretty bad, though.

I've been having fun looking at the older overworld map, from the 2014 Game Awards vid of Miyamoto and Aonuma investigating a beacon. Like someone else in the thread mentioned, the Great Plateau fits in nicely, and the boundaries of undiscovered zones match the older map's features. So if there was significant overhaul to the game, evidence suggests that the geography was kept relatively intact. Spoilered but extremely vague talk about area locations, if some don't want to know: There is a lot of telling detail so far, because of 1.) E3 footage of stuff in the distance, as well as players tossing out beacons and 2.) topographic info in the 2014 map. From the plateau you can actually see many of the major mountains spread around the outer edges of the full map. I'm not saying all secrets are revealed. There are still areas hidden while viewing from the plateau (such as the southwest corner, land behind the split mountain, both coasts, and "skull" lake if it still exists). And obviously no up close detail is visible. I just think it's interesting that you begin the game with line of sight to a large proportion of the game world. Makes sense given how much Nintendo wants to encourage non-linear exploration. I wanna visit the tall red cliffs west of the plateau and see if that weird circular pit is still in the game. I can't stop imagining a cool hidden village or a boss fight like the gecko in Shadow of the Colossus. coffeecup fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Jul 3, 2016 |

I'm watching Four Swords Adventures on Summer Games Done Quick right now, and man this game is insane. If it had online co-op, it would probably be one of the best regarded multiplayer games of all time.

Mark Brown, the guy behind Game Maker's Toolkit, is doing a series on the dungeons of The Legend of Zelda games. So far he's covered A Link to the Past https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouO1R6vFDBo And Link's Awakening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AezAN2RcO8Y Up next is Ocarina.

It bugs me that they never made a followup (Triforce Heroes doesn't count), especially once they released a console with a second-screen controller as a core feature.. Even just a port of the game for Wii using Wii/DS connectivity back when both were ubiquitous would have been fine.

Yeah, having never played Link's Awakening, I was genuinely surprised at how much it contributed to the template of later games.

Just finished the MM Stone dungeon for the first time, the gravity flip is a cool mechanic. It's too bad that the 4 dungeons feel pretty abbreviated to me, I assume due to the 3-day time limit. Felt like a big complex thing was about to kickoff with lots of flipping, but then I only had to do it like twice before I beat the boss and one of those was just for fairies. I'd never done that or Great Bay water Temple, but they didn't quite exceed Water and Spirit from OoT. I'm also replaying WW at the same time, really enjoy the Deku Leaf but again after beating the Tower and realizing I only have 2 big dungeons left + the final one, it does feel short. OoT feels about right in length to me I guess, TP felt a little long but I haven't replayed since 2007 so I'm curious to see if my opinion changes. MM has some pretty fun stuff between levels though.
