    If Link and Zelda Got Married Who Would Their Best Man Be

    Best man's gotta be his Goron Brother! Flower girl, I agree with @Deus, I mean Saria actually lives in a forest. And I'm sure when she left to the chamber of the sages she's the one tending the garden. A princess needs other princesses as bridesmaids, so Ruto and Nabooru would be in, but...

    Is BotW Link the Hero's Shade Reborn?

    Timeline placement theories in the Legend of Zelda series have been a colossal conversation topic for years, but recently have had a sudden surge since the massive coverage at E3 2016 of the newest entry, Breath of the Wild. One theory I've kept in mind for a while now that has not had a lot of...

    Breath of the Wild NPCs join the battle?

    After looking this over, I think you're right. Adds a little weight to the idea that people defend their villages, though. I wonder if random mobs will just run around and sometimes attack towns and stuff.

    Breath of the Wild 30th anniversary amiibo functions

    Unfortunately neither of those things are likely to ever come about. More likely is an Ocarina of Time HD, possibly for Switch. As for the Amiibo, I think it would be cool if they all summon allies. I have little hope for this, but Zelda fighting by your side would be an awesome addition...

    Breath of the Wild Ancient verses

    He could possibly serve a Kaepora Gaebora type of function if that's true. Or, maybe he's just a minstrel and is meant to function as they would in days of yore. Perhaps he knows many tales and songs relative to various areas and just recounts them as Link inquires to fluff out the lore of...

    Breath of the Wild NPCs join the battle?

    Did anybody else notice the guy fighting alongside Link in the new trailer? It won't let me upload the image here because of file size, but I'll link a tweet with it. What do you think this means? Could this imply Link can get hirelings or works together with other soldiers/mercenaries...

    Is The Legend of Zelda animated TV show from the same timeline as the CD-I games?

    I used to have a placement for the CD-i games in my timeline theory. The idea was that after a timeline split caused in one reality where Link stays to eternally defend Koholint, an alternate universe is formed. That alternate universe was ruled by Ganon, since Link was unable to save it, and...

    Do Zelda games need more variety in enemies?

    I like an even-ish blend. I love to see the old favorites return, as many have pointed out, but they should be complimented with new foes that bring about new challenges. Also, I love when old enemies are made new somehow. Octoroks have been the same since day one, but Gleeok has never been...

    Is the reliance on Cel Shading dampening series sales?

    In the case of Zelda, I think it's less a production speed thing and more a style thing. It began with Wind Waker because the technical limitations of the GameCube made rendering water textures in a more realistic style incredibly difficult to program. After that, the tech improved by such...

    Is the reliance on Cel Shading dampening series sales?

    I'll be honest, I don't care as much for the cel shaded art as it appears in Breath of the Wild and Skyward Sword. I think it suits the style of Wind Waker and the like, since Toon Link's aesthetically more suited to it, I think. I don't hate the art direction for the last couple games, by I...

    Phone phones and more phones

    I switched phones a little more the last few times, but currently I'm using my Droid Turbo, which has been running strong for almost 4 years now. I've considered other options, but as of this moment, nothing on the market has the specs to compete with it. It has a 21 MP camera, records 4K...

    Your Pokémon Sun & Moon Team

    Six Alolan Exeggutors. Because **** you. : P But seriously, Alolan Exeggutor looks hilarious, and has a great typing and unique moves. I'm totally running him. Plus I think I'll start with Rowlet or Litten. I'm not a big fan of Popplio or any of his forms. The other two look pretty cool...

    What Exactly is the Sailcloth?

    Not technically included, since it's not actually listed in the Historia's chronology, but it's interesting to look at possibilities based on the mangas. I really like a lot of the alternate stories Himekawa presents, they make a lot more sense than "Link inexplicably understands how to weild...

    Breath of the Wild Sneak Strikes

    If it were realistic, they would also take a few minutes to wake up and adjust their eyesight, especially if they were in a deep sleep. So take out the guard, and probably a good chunk of them before they reach coherent cognition, and then the remaining ones should be relatively easy pickings...

    What Exactly is the Sailcloth?

    An interesting possibility I came up with reading various answers here, is that it IS the same sailcloth Hylia gave to the hero. How? Well, she says this upon presenting Link the sailcloth at the beginning of the game. After the events, though, Link had travelled back in time, and perhaps his...

    Breath of the Wild Sneak Strikes

    All I want in life is to sneak up on people with a 12 foot great sword. : P I think there's lots of cool possibilities with sneak attacks. I don't think it'll be the ultimate skill, @Nicolai, rather a skill that any player can use to whatever extent they desire. With practice, you may be able...

    Breath of the Wild Giant Moblin & new item?

    Could be some kind of magic item like the Quake Medallion. I'd welcome such a return. : P That incredibly unlikely possibility aside, it does look like jewelry to him, but he's thirty friggin' feet tall. If Link uses it, it's going to have some difference to him unless it shrinks and grows to...

    The Scariest Zelda Enemies

    Wallmasters in Ocarina of Time were incredible jump-scares the first few times through the game. In the original, they were just scary because you knew when they got you you'd have to go through the whole dungeon again, and it made me nervous fighting then sometimes for sake of laziness. : P...

    Breath of the Wild The Music

    In addition to the most recent trailer having that epic score with some Eastern musical elements, I love the gameplay music that we've heard so far. It's all very simple, distant music that I didn't notice at first, but a lot of YouTubers have sped up the footage to reveal that a lot of it is...

    Breath of the Wild Stereotypical what are you most excited for topic.

    Zelda Sandbox. Switch. That's the two big things. I've been thinking the natural progression for Zelda would be a big sandbox game ever since I played Morrowind alongside Twilight Princess. There's enough similarity in the style that Zelda being introduced to this sort of grand open world is...

    Things you would improve in OoT

    I'm not sure that's a fair question to pose, since at the time, not a single thing listed here was even considered an issue. Most of these issues that people are coming up with are based on works design like filling the overworld and NPC usefulness. These things are staples of gaming today...

    Breath of the Wild Are Calamitty Ganon and the Guardians Linked?

    I think @Spirit has the right idea, or close to it. Whether it's the Shiekah or not who created them, I think they were constructed for a benevolent purpose. This purpose has become lost or perverted, however, likely due to the influence of Calamity Ganon and his followers.

    Breath of the Wild Breath of the Wild on Switch - Console screen or television?

    I'll play on my TV literally every moment my kids are asleep, but the mobile function will be an incredible bonus to me, as I'm out of the house a lot for my job. I'll pretty much play every waking hour on one or the other.

    The Zelda Pantheon

    Time travel within one timeline is one thing, but to split time into separate realities is another. That, I think is beyond the scope of the Ocarina's power.

    Breath of the Wild Will you play Breath of the Wind on Wii U or Nintendo Switch?

    I'm a friggin' nerd who will basically anything if Nintendo slaps a Triforce on the box, so I'm getting both. I'm going to play the Switch version first (unless the Wii U version comes out slightly before for some reason) because it'll be incredibly convenient for my job to just bring along...

    Gaming history you missed out on

    I kind of wanted Kingdom Hearts when it came out, but at the time, my parents were my source of video games, and when I could get something, there was always something I wanted a little more right at that time. Years later, after so many people telling me how great it was, I borrowed it from my...

    How old were you when you got into Zelda

    I was around 6 or 7 when my oldest brother (who was 14 or 15) downloaded an emulator for Game Boy and we played Link's Awakening and a Japanese Pokémon Gold before it had released in America. I had no idea how much that game would change me as a person. It really sculpted the base upon which...

    Things you would improve in OoT

    If I could change anything, I'd tune up the graphics, add gyroscopic controls, and rererelease it on the 3DS. Wait... But seriously, I think the 3DS remake was everything I could possibly have asked for... And a Shiekah Stone. Because some people don't have Google? That aside, I think adding...

    Pokémon Go?

    That does seem to be the unpopular team, unfortunately. I live in an area adjacent to a ton of parks and close enough to drive to the city center where there's crap loads of stops and gyms, so I guess I'm a spoiled douche.

    Pokémon Go?

    If you're playing type advantage properly, you can take out any gym, almost regardless of power level. I'm a casual player, so I'll avoid taking huge gyms because it takes a long time, but a gym of 4 or less can easily be taken out in about ten minutes. They've got Vaporeon at 2K CP? A...

    Breath of the Wild Returning areas

    For some reason this made me think of navigating the Lost Woods by chopping down every tree so you didn't have to solve the maze. Think harder, not smarter. XD This reminded me that the Skull Woods were kind of like this in Link to the Past. It's a concept that can be used in multiple...

    @Adventurer of Hyrule: I play games on the go all the time because that's what my schedule allows as a school bus driver. I can't wait to play Breath of the Wild while I'm waiting to pick up a football team or a group of kids at a field trip. Also, the controller thing isn't really all that...

    The Zelda Pantheon

    The way this theory works (under my understanding) is that Link does travel back to his Timeline with his piece of the Triforce. That creates alternate reality A, or shall we say the adult timeline. Zelda is warned in the past, and imprisons Ganondorf, keeps her Triforce, and alternate timeline...

    Best Handheld Zelda Game?

    I would argue that Link's Awakening is the darkest game in the series due to the repercussions of Link "saving" Koholint. Won't go into details because spoilers, but you know.

    Did you play the remakes first?

    I played the original versions of every game with the exception of a couple ports. My first experience with LA was actually on an emulator, as for Zelda 1, 2 and 3. Wow, I was a good pirate as a kid. Then the first time I played Majora's Mask was on the GameCube Zelda Collector's Edition...

    Spoiler Do People Really Think Link is Dead in Breath of the Wild?

    I think there's a lot of ways they could go with this. It's possible he was resurrected, I thought of this as a new split where instead of the gods flooding Hyrule to deal with Ganon, they just resurrected the hero. That's a long shot, but it could happen. It's more likely that this is a...

    What is the most obscure fact you have memorized?

    There are 125 notches around the edge of a quarter. Alice Cooper's birth name was Vincent Damon Furnier. Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" was never a hit song. Def Leppard was named that because one of the guys designed concert posters in art school, and ran out of bands he liked to design...

    Ocremix.org has a plethora of video game music remade by Indy artists. They have a lot of standalone tracks from the Zelda series as well as two albums based on it. One is a tribute to the 25th anniversary of the series with a ton of music from almost every game. The other is all music from...

    What Games Do You Have On Your Phone?

    The only mobile phone exclusive game I really play is Pokémon Go. I have put a lot of time into other ones, but eventually mobile games run out of stuff to do, or doing the stuff becomes monotonous. With PoGo, I can do it wherever I go and the whole game changer based on that. If we're...

    Mobile Zelda?

    God,I hope they don't replace the handheld market.

    Mobile Zelda?

    With Nintendo bringing Pokémon and Mario to the mobile gaming market, what do you think is the possibility of a mobile phone Zelda game? What would they do to bring the world of Hyrule to such a game? I think with the way they're going now, there is certainly a chance, and I'd even go as far...

    Best Handheld Zelda Game?

    I didn't vote for either of those, but I loved them nonetheless. Minish Cap presented clever gameplay elements based around the story, which centers upon the creation of the Four Sword. It also used a shrinking mechanic that presented the world in a new way. A simple Chuchu became the most...

    Best Handheld Zelda Game?

    Link's Awakening was the most touching story in the entire series, and it validated the theory of handheld games being on the same level as home console titles. If it wasn't for that, mobile gaming would never have become as popular and powerful a medium of creativity as it is. I really loved...

    Breath of the Wild How large are you expecting BotW's cast to be?

    I think the main storyline will have a fairly short list of characters, probably the obvious people, Link, Zelda, Old Guy, possibly Impa based on the amount of Shiekah influence on the world. Other than that, possibly other world leaders like King Zora and a Goron King (possibly from Darunia's...

    Breath of the Wild Returning areas

    Most legit continuation of the unified timeline?

    This theory is quite interesting. I think the bloodline of the original hero isn't something most people consider when thinking of the timeline; I know I didn't. Also the idea of an original Triforce piece creating each timeline is very intriguing. I think it gives a little more legitimacy to...
