Going and talking to Impa in Kakariko Village would probably help get you back up to speed on the main quest as well.

Plus you can tell which divine beasts you've beaten by which champion powers you've got in your inventory.

As someone who never played any LoZ games before (despite owning every nintendo console since SNES), I went into BotW with very fresh eyes and it amazes me every time I play it. I never really poked around online too much (aside to figure out tricky shrines) and there's something I didn't know/hadn't quite discovered yet every time I fire it up.

This is maybe the fourth time I've started a new game and am JUST learning i can dye clothes, and that the color you want merely requires food/object of said color (which is funny because I never used acorns so now all my armor is brown). I finally narrowed down where to get foods to cook because I never really bothered to make anything fancy.

I read a lot here and other places that BotW isn't a "true" zelda game. I KIND of get it, having gone back to play LttP and some others, but it's hands down one of the best games I have ever owned.

I cannot change Link's name to Lonk, so they are correct BotW isn't a true zelda game. I can name a horse Lonk, so the game is GOTY regardless.

Has ha, I'm just thinking how Zelda will probably be regularly playable in future games and then that will cause certain parts of the fandom to go apeshit and deny them all.

She'll be playable in a mainline title around the time Princess Peach will be in a Mario mainline game.

It's funny how I never considered it to be a mainline game at the time of writing, I think my mind was just on the 3D platformers at the time, which does include 3D World, yes.

Which just means we are long overdue for Zelda to get her time.

Oof, poor typo, there.

Edit: just remembered the YouTuber, so actually maybe that's an amazing point? It works on so many levels.

She's also the only ruling Zelda, IIRC - no king around to gently caress stuff up; just ruling on her own.

It could be a Holy Roman Empire situation where Hyrule is a vassal of a larger empire so it’s rulers aren’t called Queens/Kings.

And HyWar's Zelda is most similar to that one, so I choose to believe she's also TP Zelda and therefore she is doubly the best one.

drat right, she needs to be the perfect sex doll I have had in my mind since I saved her from a stereotype swarthy bandit in OoT.

But seriously, I got the distinct impression they made her nose extra long as a westerner stereotype.

This is yet another game I’ve started and stopped and lost my emulator saves over the decades. I’m already on my second play session by the time I meet Midna and the story gets rolling.
