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

    I think that there will be a few villages around since the map is so large. There will be a few smaller villages, but I expect there to be 4 or 5 more prominent villages with at least one important NPC in each. Plus, there are all the sheikah in the shrines. So probably Link, Zelda, Ganon...

    What is you favourite glitch you've performed in a Zelda game?

    Permanently switching out unneeded items for extra bottles in OoT (N64). You get a bottle out and swipe it to grab water or a bug or something, but immediately after you pause the game and switch to a nonessential item, like deku seeds or magic beans, and it transforms into a bottle permanently...

    Getting Made Fun of for Zelda

    This is basically how people react to the Harry Potter series until they read it. People are dumb and just make fun of things they don't understand all the time.
  4. Neil Almack

    The thing in Zelda you love but everyone hates

    This may be due to the fact that you also had to buy a graphic enhancer to attach to the N64 that people didn't want to spend extra money on just to play one game.

    Does right vs. Left handed Link matter?

    I think the reason some people take into consideration handedness in the timeline is because it seems like this may be a specific Link that was in the Shrine of Resurrection, not just another incarnation. In general though, it doesn't really matter. Only the specific situation surrounding Links...

    Spoiler Cows on the ranch in MM

    Because it was that or the schnauzers... and f*** schnauzers.

    Breath of the Wild Will we see Link's iconic tunic in BotW?

    I think it kinda depends on timeline placement. I say this because if this is in the adult link timeline, it's possible that he doesn't wear it so he is not known as the hero, which would be why it is stated that a hero didn't come and Hyrule had to be flooded. Just a thought.

    Favorite Zelda Song

    Ya it was pretty sweet. The song is either Ancient Hero or Legendary Hero remix. Kind of mellow and midevil sounding to start with.
  9. Neil Almack

    Favorite Zelda Song

    Also, the song that plays during the intro of WW as it is showing the story of what happened to Hyrule. I played a rendition of that song during my wedding that everyone walked down the isle to (except my wife of course, she had her own song)

    Favorite Zelda Song

    I always liked the Minuet of the Forest. I would play it over and over just to listen to it.

    Who is Your Favorite(nonessential) NPC ?

    Magic carpet guy in OoT. Him or ingo's character in MM and OoT. He always gets so upset when you beat him in a horse race. Not sure if this is the right name, haven't played OoT or MM in a while.

    What were the Gossip Stones really used for?

    What if the BotW is after OoT and the sheikah aren't really gone, they are just in hiding, making and working on tech for the Guardians. And what if the Gossip Stones are markers for where the Sheikah buried these Guardians whose purpose is to rise up if ever the Hero is defeated to stop Ganon...

    Breath of the Wild Nintendo Switch Release Bundle Rumors - What would you want to see?

    I havent owned a console since the original Wii, but this is affordable. A nice bundle with extra storage and the zelda game would be nice.

    Breath of the Wild Why is the Master Sword looking broken? Theories?

    I tend to agree with this, esp from a mathematical standpoint. Things don't just decay to nothing. It has an asymptotic relationship as time goes on assuming that decay works in the Zelda universe the same way it does in ours.

    Breath of the Wild BotW's new mechanics are not exactly new...

    True. I just can't read apparently lol

    Breath of the Wild What Questions Do You Want Answered in BotW?

    I want to know where the tech came from. Like, when did this time stasis chamber get invented because that's when they put him to sleep so it has to have happened reasonably far after any previous game to give time for the tech to catch up. Also, just the BS of the game. They set the mystery up...
  17. Neil Almack

    The Voice in BotW is not Zelda?

    Thanks. Ya I just assume a voice from the tech. I think the voice says something about the first checkpoint once Link leaves the cave, but I thought then that it came from the Shiekah slate. It just seems like an AI or something.
  18. Neil Almack

    Breath of the Wild Why is the Master Sword looking broken? Theories?

    I'm having trouble coming up with the full story with this one because every time I try to flesh it out there are problems with timeline placement in one way or another... But basically, I think that Ganon appears at some point and Link fails to defeat him and Ganon claims the triforce of...

    Choice bound game.

    Do you think the Zelda series would ever make a choice bound game like an Elder Scrolls game? Maybe not specifically about Link and Zelda, but something in that universe that is between incarnations of the hero that flesh out some of the timeline gaps. I think it would be pretty cool to play as...
  20. Neil Almack

    The Voice in BotW is not Zelda?

    My immediate thought was it was a computer/technology voice and that the lullaby is playing to keep Link asleep.

    Breath of the Wild The killing blow

    Maybe they will bring back the full life magical sword projectile thing from the NES and SNES games.

    Breath of the Wild Embrace the Darkness

    Just was the darkest thing I could think of lol. They were just waiting for the royal family to give them the ok to set up their Guardian machines with their secret technology which is the ultimate goal. Gain the trust of the royals and then after centuries, stab everyone in the back.
  23. Neil Almack

    Breath of the Wild Embrace the Darkness

    Sheika are just Demise's loyal followers that are trying to master plan the ultimate return of their dark lord.
  24. Neil Almack

    Breath of the Wild Should i preorder or wait?

    Yes, this! No physical copy is bad news. My friend had lots of games on his account for PS and got permabanned... Poof, all games and progress gone forever.
  25. Neil Almack

    Breath of the Wild BotW's new mechanics are not exactly new...

    Idk. Maybe some of them, but what about the climbing and the physics engine with makeshift catapults? Plus that sweet slowmo B&A action.
  26. Neil Almack

    Breath of the Wild Where did the Guardians come from?

    What if the Guardians are either derivative of or maybe even the precursor to (depending on timeline placement) of those helicopter things in Hyrule field in OoT? I know this isn't really related to your post per say but it kinda is I guess.

    Favorite/Least Favorite Zelda Games

    Ya I just watched a speed run and saw that, but that **** wasn't around in 93 lol (Hints and videos I mean)
  28. Neil Almack

    What is your favorite way that Link wakes up?

    Majoras Mask all the way. It's so typical of something happening in the forbidden forest.
  29. Neil Almack

    Favorite/Least Favorite Zelda Games

    Favorite has to be Majoras Mask because of all the cool effects you can get with the masks. Some didn't even make sense like the stupid bomb mask but it made it fun to try out different things. Zelda 2 wasn't very good. Maybe I just suck but I hated fighting the armored knights that would block...

    Timeline Shenanigans

    Sorry I didn't respond, but spamomanospam basically summed up what I was thinking. Also, want to say that I do like the function analogy as I am a math teacher :)
  31. Neil Almack

    Timeline Shenanigans

    The end as in there won't be any after it sure, but that doesn't mean more games can't come around to flesh out the entire timeline. And that isn't even taking into account that the final battle could somehow cause the events to SS to happen in a crazy cyclical way... Kinda like the Terminator...
  32. Neil Almack

    Old Man alternate (although implausible) identity in BotW

    Ya I think so. So in my mind this is what happens... Link is almost killed or even killed and put in a pod that will rejuvenate/revive him by someone, probably Shieka people. They set someone up to wake him, but that person cannot because they die or whatever. A new Link is born, but Ganon is...

    The Wind Fish/The abundance of whales in the Zelda games

    ...or it was referenced in order to give a clue that MM was also a dream game and never really happened...
  34. Neil Almack

    Breath of the Wild What would you do if this game came out and it completely SUCKED?

    I don't think I would care. I have not played a Zelda game that I didn't get really into. Even thr adventures of Link had me for a good while and thst game is basically garbage. I just love Zelda so much that I think I'd find something to enjoy about the game one way or another.
  35. Neil Almack

    Breath of the Wild Animal Companions

    Hopefully with the title being Breath of the Wild it is referring to Link being able to Warg into some of the animals.
  36. Neil Almack

    Breath of the Wild My thoughts on it

    Can you clear this up for me? I've seen many people saying they focus too much on the downfall timeline, but haven't the last two console games been a prequel in SS and in the Child Timeline in TP?
  37. Neil Almack

    Spoiler Majora's Mask Moon Children

    I love stuff like this. It reminds me of the time stones in OoT and MM. They say some bizarre things sometimes.
  38. Neil Almack

    The Wind Fish/The abundance of whales in the Zelda games

    What about MM? You forgot about the wind fish and it's tribute band, playing ballads in pubs in clock town lol.

    Breath of the Wild What is calamity Ganon? (all data and theory)

    This is what I was looking for. I only saw the video once when it first came out because I'm in China and my internet sucks. I only see texts on this site which don't show me where the highlighted part of the name includes calamity. Thanks!

    Breath of the Wild Could time travel in BotW double the game's size?

    What if you actually play through the past flashbacks? I think that would be cool. You get to run around in the past and there will be small cutscenes for dialogue if it is needed at all.
  41. Neil Almack

    Breath of the Wild Could time travel in BotW double the game's size?

    Technically it would still be below 2% if it was also below 1%, but I understand your point. He would have just said less than 1 % if it indeed was below 1 %. Good job on doing the maths btw. Most people won't or just can't so A+ to you.
  42. Neil Almack

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

    I'm excited to be able to jump at will :p The 64 games had parts that were super frustrating because you could seemingly just jump to get somewhere but it just wouldn't let you.
  43. Neil Almack

    Timeline Shenanigans

    Lol, ya it definitely could be. I was thinking that there might be one event that was always supposed to happen, maybe the event that breaks the curse that makes Link, Zelda and Ganon be reincarnated that would wrap up the series and stop the cycle. It would be like a destiny sort of thing...
  44. Neil Almack

    Breath of the Wild What is calamity Ganon? (all data and theory)

    That would be great. And maybe even the voice is referring to Link as "The Beast" though we all assume it is Ganon.
  45. Neil Almack

    Breath of the Wild What is calamity Ganon? (all data and theory)

    Maybe I missed something and I haven't watched that many videos about the released gameplay, but it seems to me that the old man is just using the word calamity as it is intended to be used and not as part of Ganon's name. It's like him instead saying, "That... Is the pig Ganon," to which nobody...

    Old Man alternate (although implausible) identity in BotW

    I think the first is probably what most people think is true based off of what I've seen so far from the internet. I like the old man being Link himself, but as stated earlier that it's more of a wish than what I actually think is true. It's kind of like in Avatar when Ang is frozen for 100...
  47. Neil Almack

    Timeline Shenanigans

    Just a question: Do you think that they developers will ever create a game (maybe even BotW) that either A. serves as a loop in the timeline that is both after one of the split timelines while simultaneously being before SS, or B. serves as a bridge that is simultaneously in more than one of...
  48. Neil Almack

    Old Man alternate (although implausible) identity in BotW

    Thanks for the response. Again, more of a thought exercise than anything else, but I will give more insight into why I thought there might be something to this. Obviously, with limited information since the game has not been released, I just caught one of the things that the old man said that...
