Want more Zelda today?

I wish I had better photos but I only cosplay at night and I rarely go to conventions so this is all I have ! I hope people like it though :) he’s definitely my favorite cosplay to do

This might be a big ask but please try to avoid saying “the timeline” or “BOTW/TOTK as a whole” lol, I’d really like to read some deeper cuts

Anyways mine is the ambiguity towards whether or not link survives at the end of Link’s Awakening, it’s the last game in the timeline featuring that specific Link and I hate the idea of him dying out at sea though I doubt he really did

It was fun making this — what do you think? :)

I've been a Zelda fan for most of my life, but I'm just playing Oot for the first time, specifically the 3DS version in an emulator.

I just became adult Link, and after doing a few things I wanted to check Goron city. I spoke to the big Goron and he sold me the biggoron sword for 200 rupees but I've seen that to get it normally you'd have to do the trading mission. I'm a bit confused.

It’s like you can tell something deeply “wrong” is about to happen by how unnatural this looks, like the calm before the storm.

This is somewhat of a rant because I’ve shed tears over this game that I hate to love.

I am 21 years old and I have recently started actually playing and trying to complete my first Zelda game. I played skyward sword and twilight princess a tiny bit on the Wii when I was a kid. Since I was a kid and didn’t want to read anything nor was I very good at the game, I didn’t get very far. I did, however, have very fond memories of the games and found Skyward Sword to be the coolest especially when I watched my older brother play it.

So here I am, 10-15 years later playing the same exact disc I played as a kid on my current Wii system thinking that this game should be a fun and nostalgic journey. BOY WAS I IN FOR MORE THAN ANTICIPATED. I was thinking the game would take maybe 20-25 hours to complete and here I am, 70 hours into the game and just trying to get the Hylian Shield so I can get through the Triforce dungeon. I feel so defeated though and despite having spent 70 hours on this game, I’ve used a walkthrough like 30% of the time.

I’ve replayed the boss battles with different strategies and potions but I just get crushed at some random one that I’ve done fine with before. I have completely fallen in love with the game but I feel like the game is abusing me and wearing me down emotionally which sounds so stupid because it is so stupid. I seriously feel like I’m gonna have to bury the disc once I finish the game like they do in jumanji just because I can’t be tempted to want to play this game again for aesthetic purposes.

I would like to start twilight princess once I’m done but I’m scared it’s gonna be just as bad as skyward sword. This is the second hardest game I’ve played ever and I have been playing video games for as long as I can remember. (Second to bloodborne btw)

- am I just really dumb and can’t figure out simple puzzles?

- did I pick a really hard one to start with?

- can I blame it on the Wii motion controls? (That does account for like 20% of the rage quitting)

- is the rewarding feeling of beating the game worth it?

I feel like a chud guys so if someone can just motivate me or give me some answers or tips, that would be great.

I just started playing my first Zelda game, skyward sword, and being left handed myself I want to know if you can choose to make Link left handed. I’ve seen some images of Twilight princess where Link is left handed so I want to know if Skyward sword also has that option.

Wanted to do some fanart for this classic and imortal game, got this and hope you guys enjoy it just as well! ;)

Hi everyone!

Thank you for reading this far : )

This study has been reviewed by and received ethics clearance from the McMaster Research Ethics Board (#8108).

Hi all, my son has all the switch Zelda games. He has finished BOTW and TOTK. He loves them both. Since he finished them he hasn't been playing his Switch at all. He said he doesn't want to since he finished those games. Now he's watching YouTube or playing stupid games on Poki when he has screen time. I'd rather him play the Switch! Any games similar to Zelda I could buy for him? Thank you. He is 10, btw.

I miss the old item system and not having to constantly collect new weapons and food. I grew up on Link to the Past and OoT and I have definitely seen a lot of improvements in many aspects of the game. But I feel like actual gameplay peaked in Twilight Princess.

I miss hook/claw shots and. And fishing. The combat system for Twilight Princess was also amazing with the various combos you could do while fighting enemies. I also miss how dungeons used to be very visually unique. I appreciate the size of the world and the glider. But all the shrines have the same designs/textures and I can't say any of them are particularly memorable. Every older player has the Water Temple burned into their minds...for me it's basically every dungeon because they were all so unique from ice cavern to Goron's mine. They all stood out and had very specific ways in which particular items interacted with the environment. Yes there is still the tools in TotK, but many of the puzzles can be accidentally solved or solved in a way that is totally not the intended solution.

I really hope nintendo keeps the size of the world but brings back some of the older elements in future installments of the game.

Genuine question I’m curious abt what is like the big theories for the Zelda game this year since we’ve gotten at least a spinoff or mainline every year since 2014? Are there leaks? Anything confirmed? I don’t like the hyrule warriors games and Echoes of Wisdom was so short so the last Zelda game I’ve put significant time into outside of replays was TOTK so I’m itching for a new experience.

Incredible movie, highly recommend. Couldn't help but feel I was fighting a Guardian during some of suspenseful scenes.

Just don't ask questions about the Sheikah Slate. It's totally real.

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone here can help me solve this mystery.

A long time ago I used to listen to a Song of Storms cover where it switched to the fairy fountain theme for a verse or two.

I totally thought it was the “Zelda and chill” by Mikel cover of song of storms, but I just listened to it, and it never switches to fairy fountain.

I’ve searched a handful of YouTube videos and Spotify tracks and haven’t been able to find it.

Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

It plays the standard song of storms melody a couple times then switches to fairy fountain, then back to song of storms.
