It's very relevant when it conditions you to avoid combat because you know that the shit weapons the enemies will drop won't replace the good weapons you're holding.
in ToTK its irrelevant, because weapons are just bases for monster parts to fuse with to make them good, as long as the enemies you are fighting drop good parts, they totally replace themselves.
Which is true but then it's also irrelevant in ToTK because the enemies are even spongier than BoTW's already spongy enemies.
Again, I tried to think of unorthodox ways of dealing with the enemies, and saved my weapons for the tougher encounters. It made each combat encounter surprisingly varied, at least in my playthrough.
I love Bloodborne and Elden Ring. But they don’t have the sort of imsim mechanics and physics to allow for more creative options. So it’s really comparing apples to oranges in this case.
Sure, but that's not fun.
What?
I pirated a ROM because I'm not wasting money on a Switch.
Or. OR. I might just want to sword fight things and not want to fuck around with the green snot because magitech is for fucking queers and I would rather play a sword fighting game. Not my fault that Nintendo half-assed gave me three abilities that are all the same thing and then quarter-assed the actual Legend of Zelda part of the game.
then, like the rest of my post, don't fucking play it, you didn't even spend money on it (which I mean, smart move) but what a fuckin retarded waste of time, ice skating up hill out of sheer retardation.
I put about ten hours into it and then dropped it. Took me less time than that to discover that it was shit, but decided to at least complete the Master Sword quest first.
Blacksmithing must have magically died amongst the Hylians. Which is somewhat unusual, if you think about it. You'd expect that a bunch of monsters roaming about the outskirts of your village would be an good enough incentive for an smithy to set up shop, but...Nobody is actually willing to do shit besides Link and a few NPCs.
Even without the monsters you need farriers for all those horses and all those doors and buildings are festooned with various iron fittings which tells me that they may also feature nails in their construction.
And there's the Gorons for that.
Yes, I know it ended up becoming Wind Waker. It ended up becoming Wind Waker AND Twilight Princess (because, after Wind Waker, people kept saying 'We want the realistic Zelda now') but the Spaceworld demo is neither of them, technically speaking. You can see it features the Hero of Time, from Ocarina, wielding the Hero's Shield from Majora's Mask. Therefore we can discern, from what little we're given, that this depicts the Hero of Time after the events of Majora's Mask. Neither Wind Waker nor Twilight Princess were exactly that game.
But it wasn't. They just uprezzed it and modified the HUD so that it matches the Gamecube controller colours, as well as a few other minor, cosmetic changes (like changing the Gerudo symbol from a Muslim-esque crescent moon to whatever the fuck it is now because the Muslims got explosively upset) It's otherwise exactly the same game, just with Master Quest added.
Well, if you think of the old Zelda formula, you can't really buy weapons in the shops. It's a classic case of Nintendo changing one part of the formula and not realising or not caring that they'd have to change the other parts as well. In the old games it was fine because you'd go in the dungeons or explore the overworld and you'd get ONE sword, ONE bow and arrow, etc. So you didn't really need to buy any weapons from the shop
Yes, I know BOTW's combat isn't like Souls. I'm saying that it should be.
Yeah, I thought of that. But, in order to buy ancient weapons you not only need the money but you need to farm guardians for parts. Which requires you to kill them, which requires you to have....weapons!
No, the gerudo logo change happened as a running change with the various batches of OOT on the n64 along with the blood being turned to green puke when ganondorf coughs in that one scene and also the fire temple chanting sound being replaced.
That change made its first appearance on the Gamecube port. They'd made it for the N64 version but I don't think they actually pressed any carts with those changes, so they didn't show up until the Gamecube ports and then the Virtual Console version years later.
That was changed earlier. First press carts go for a lot of money (well, for more money than later printings of Ocarina) because they still have the red blood and the Muslim chanting.
I really wouldn't consider it a full remaster. Just a port with a few issues fixed. I think it runs better on Gamecube because Gamecube's better hardware.
The entire game of both BoTW and ToTK is the Oxcart Paradox in action.
Again, BOTW is focused more on experimentation and emergent gameplay via physics and chemistry, rather than what the Souls games are. It being more like the latter would go against the design philosophy.
So you save the more powerful ones for those encounters. Once you find things like Ancient Arrows, dealing with them becomes much easier, and also don’t require you to farm weapons.
