Technology in Zelda-- whether it's divine, Twili, Sheikah, or whatever--- has had that Tron look to it since Wind Waker. They've really made it part of the series' visual identity.

Depends on how close the two version are to parity, and whether the NX has enough other stuff going for it to make a worthwhile immediate investment.

I think the fact that the old man didn't take damage or aggro Link makes it pretty clear that you can't kill him. Haven't there been NPCs in past Zelda games that would react if you got in their face in certain ways?

My point is that SS' control scheme tries to have it both ways. Instead of being strictly literal or being strictly abstract, it's in an inconsistent middle space that isn't communicated clearly, and that's why people find it awkward instead of intuitive. It's also probably why they're not bringing it back.

I'm willing to believe the NX is a portable system that docks for TV play, but I have my doubts that it acts like a Transformers toy.

The whole reason SS is just a digital release of the Wii version is most certainly because a remaster would have to be designed for different controls. So yeah, definitely no dice on using anything but a Wiimote.

It doesn't really matter if the Any% speedrun route skips most of the game; if some speedrunners feel dissatisfied that too much is getting left out, they'll invent other categories that cover more of the game. The 100% category will probably be insanely long.

Vanrushal posted:I feel kinda lame for asking this, but is there a set of giant doors in a mountain other than the one that leads to To Quomo Shrine? I could have sworn I found one set in a snowy mountain, but being an idiot I forgot to mark it on my map. I don't think I saw the one in the spoiler because by my memory I was just kind of scouting out the Hebra region without going too far in roughly around the time I remember seeing the doors, and the ones in the spoiler seem to be too deep for it to have been one of the earlier landmarks I remember seeing. Of course my memory could just be failing me spectacularly on this because it insists the doors are somewhere else but I'm not having any luck finding them in Hebra, Lanayru, or Gerudo Highlands (I remember them being set in grey mountains but I ran around the Highlands just in case). Can anyone help me out here? There's at least two sets of doors like that in the mountains (I don't know if there's more but I've found two). One set is near the northwest corner of the map and leads to To Quomo Shrine. The other set is close to Hebra Tower and leads to Gee Ha'rah Shrine.

MokBa posted:What was everyone's favorite "holy gently caress this game!" moment? Mine was probably climbing Mt. Lanayru and freeing Naydra. The sheer expanse that you have to cover as you chase it on your glider floored me. I see questions of this nature a lot, and I gotta be honest, the moment that has resonated the most with me is by far the banana chest.

Pollyanna posted:No spoilers, but for the A Fragmented Monument shrine quest, can you figure out the solution with just what's around the area? Or are you expected to come back later after another quest or something? There's no way to shortcut that one, and it doesn't have any prerequisites elsewhere in the world. You just gotta do the quest and look for the stuff, right then and there.

Honestly, the "100 years" thing seems like an arbitrary grandiose number, but the lack of visual distinction between eras, the survival of characters who remember pre-stasis Link, and the not-insane mental states of Zelda & pals (who have been conscious and trapped/fighting the entire time) all add up to make it feel like less than a decade has passed.

I think one issue is that high-level enemies often end up being weapon-durability sinks rather than real challenges. Wailing on a silver bokoblin isn't more interesting than killing a red one, it just takes longer and is more likely to break your weapon in the process. It's why I hope hard mode does something different than just crank up the HP/damage numbers.

Lodin posted:I have a weird bug. Yesterday I took out the two shrines on top of Dueling Peaks and the one higher up is still orange. It's marked blue on the map and the monk inside is gone so it's clearly finished. Not a big deal, just strange. There's a third shrine directly below at river-level, so all three get clustered together on the map. Maybe that's the one showing up orange? EDIT: or I think I misunderstood, I thought you meant marked orange/unvisited on the map, not physically glowing orange in-game.

I think they should go all the way with making the dungeons/shrines less formal and more thoroughly integrated into the world. That feels like the clear next step for the series. Most of the map in BotW is natural territory and that works well as a motif for the game, but I'd happily trade away some of that sprawling map size if it meant denser, more complex and puzzle-laden places to explore. A cave that leads into a massive subterranean fire temple, a labyrinth that's the only passable route to one part of the map, etc.

Spending a large portion of the game not knowing for sure whether you're strong enough to take on Guardians yet, and then finally discovering you are, very much seems to be an intended part of the game experience.

Compendium is easy, you just pay the man and he'll fill up your photos. Korok routing takes work, but one blessing is that since this isn't the kind of game that really has equipment requirements for puzzles, you can work tons of them into the rest of your route around the world.

The dragons are more flexible/accomodating in their spawn times than people seem to think. There are certain places you can just show up any time of day and you'll probably see one (I've rarely ever gone into Tanagar Canyon without Dinraal stopping by), and places where resting at a fire basically guarantees a spawn when you wake-- Riola Spring (top of waterfall in Faron) for Farosh, West Deplian Badlands (across from North Lomei Labyrinth) for Dinraal. Naydra's way more finicky than the other two for whatever reason, though.

GreatGreen posted:Thanks for the replies everybody. Despite what some of the hype has suggested, it's not like Dark Souls. Each area in Dark Souls is designed to fit a particular level scale, creating an unforced-but-still-implied progression through the map. That's not how BotW works at all. In BotW, the tough stuff is kind of sprinkled wherever, but you'll never really find an insurmountable task. You can head to any destination and deal with whatever obstacle or opponent you find there, pretty much right from the start-- you may need to cook something up in order to do it, but this is a game deliberately designed so that preparation can more than compensate for being underlevelled.

There's no follow-through after the first few similar notes, and there's no thematic reason for that song to be in there as a leitmotif, so I'd chalk it up as definitely a coincidence.
