Yeah and the old man refers to him as Calamity Ganon in bold and red in-dialogue so I guess that's his name now

He was a man, but then he became a monster who was no longer a man, and after that he became the end of the world.

So if dogs are tameable and work similar to how Wolf Link works, i'm going to assume Horse Link summons Epona as a tameable horse.

If that's the case, i'm liking how these non anniversary Zelda amiibo work. Not gating any features, just giving Zelda themed skins for stuff you can already have.

I don't remember the Zelda game where Link transforms into a horse.

In my mind, Horse Link Amiibo sounded better than Link on Horse Amiibo.

I meant it as an equivalent phrase in English, not an example of a Japanese game using it.

Looking back at that post, it does seem unclear. Sorry!

It's an alphabet. Substitution cipher for English. Think it started in Wind Waker.

I think it's been a thing since Ocarina of Time, but I'm not sure. Also, only the biggest of spergs cared to figure it out. Most normal players don't even know it's a thing.

They've been doing it since ocarina yes, but in that, MM, and WW they were ciphers of Japanese. Starting in Twilight Princess they switched to an English substitution alphabet and have continued doing that since.

Looks like the 4 guys in either corner, the little glimpses of them in the trailers really remind me of Shadow of the Colossus which mixed with Austin Walker saying the game reminds him a lot of Dragon's Dogma has me hyped as hell.

So we're gonna fight a tiger, a phoenix, a turtle, and a dragon. Probably get a green gem from the tiger, a red gem from the phoenix, a blue gem from the turtle, and an incomplete master sword from the dragon.

Then probably 2-3 more dungeons before it's Ganon time.

Take a closer look at the map corners it looks like those might be the divine beast, can't figure out top right, top left is some bird so probably a phoenix like you said, but I see a some sort of camel and an elephant on the bottom corners.

Edit: I just noticed each of them has someone riding them.

They must be the mechanical giants we've seen in the trailers. The Airship buzzing around the desert plateaus must be the Bird from the map, then the Lizard is the thing we see climbing the mountain in the latest trailers.

E: the Camel is the other beast we see stomping around for maybe 1.5 seconds, while I expect the Elephant is the half-buried structure we see with the Gerudo and her sand-walrus.

Top right one looks like a frog to me.

My guess is that we're going to fight in those things. Meaning that those things are the dungeons rather than those things being the bosses.

I can't wait to watch videos of people beating Ganon in their shorts with only sticks and using all kinds of physics nonsense to speedrun.

Blue seems to be a major color choice. Wonder if it's an aesthetic reason.

The blue lobster tunic was the only proper way to play Wind Waker and Nintendo is finally recognizing that fact.

Nice, I can't wait to fight the poo poo out of the Sì Xiàng. :cool:

It's the little things like that which really make this special.

Edit: They could also be the Sì Líng, if that's more recognizable to people. Ever play Shin Megami Tensei?

That's my guess too. We've already seen the giant mechanical bird from one of the earlier trailers.
