I'm glad this LP is back, Jordan! I've never played this Zelda (or any of the ones past the gamecube) so I'm interested in seeing where it goes.

This is actually the first and currently last Zelda game past the Gamecube. It's literally the only thing you've missed.

I figured he meant console releases.

The precision faceplant to get that one goddess chest made me smile.

One detail I really liked here is that the Master Sword's crossguard is folded in at this point, the same way it is in Wind Waker when the sword's almost bereft of its power. It's a subtle bit of visual storytelling for those who're familiar with previous Zelda games, and a suggestion that we're not quite done with this thing just yet. It's one of a few story moments in this game I appreciated greatly. Makes me wish the game had employed that sort of clever subtlety in other ways, instead of choosing to have Fi or whoever constantly reiterate things and spell out the painfully obvious for you at virtually every turn.

Re: Link's belt and tunic: Tuck in your shirt tightly, then try lifting your arms over your head. His tunic's not flat against his belly so he can actually move. :cheeky:

Because it's not holding up his pants. He's got his item pouch and his wallet strapped to his hip with it.

To be fair, those bokoblins totally had it coming.

The sliding spiked things are just called Blade Traps. Nothing too special about the name, really.

She does have arms; her hands are just closed up inside the sleeves of her shawl for some reason, going by official artwork.

I would say the Master Sword is the antithesis of Demise's sword, whatever it's called, rather than the other way around. Like, Hylia saw Demise's sword/Ghirahim and decided to make her own version of the thing to counteract it.

I liked the idea of this whole thing, but as with other parts of the game, I think it could have been executed better.

But Demise was there the whole time, remember? You fought him like, five times between the start of the game and the finale! :v:

Seriously though gently caress the imprisoned.
