    Is Using Save States Cheating?

    I think it only qualifies as cheating if you are in competition with others, and you use save states without that being agreed upon in advance. For example if you are speedrunning and use save states, that is cheating. It should be obvious, but people can hide it. If you are playing for fun...

    Are we seeing the Switch successor come out this year?

    Looks like Nintendo gave an update to publishers to not expect the new console until 2025 now. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/19/nintendo-switch-2-reportedly-delayed-until-2025-shares-fall.html

    Ocarina of Time Forest Temple

    In addition to the advice above, I think deku nuts are useful. They only work when the stalfos lets its guard down to attack, but you have a lot more time to attack when they are stunned by deku nuts.

    What launch titles do you expect for the next Nintendo console?

    I think the main release will be a 3d Mario game. Super Mario Odyssey came out in 2017, and it seems impossible to have a brand new 3d Zelda although we could see re-releases.

    VikzeLink's Weekly Sunday Poll 598!

    Seems weird to say, but I think the wallet upgrade is my favorite in Wind Waker because of how important accumulating rupees is in that game. The quiver and bomb bag upgrades are nice but not super necessary. The magic meter upgrade is useful, but I always go for the wallet upgrades as soon as...

    Are we seeing the Switch successor come out this year?

    Investors seem to think it's coming this year so I think an announcement at least will happen this year. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/08/nintendo-switch-2-console-coming-in-2024-analysts-say.html It's early enough that we could see a new system released by the end of the year.

    VikzeLink's Weekly Sunday Poll 592!

    I picked Twilight Princess. It improved greatly upon the mechanics in the N64 games, and I never use a horse at all in the Switch games. I never felt as attached to the horses in the two Switch Zeldas even though in theory catching and naming your own horse would lead to attachment. For me it...

    VikzeLink's Weekly Sunday Poll 587!

    I picked Twilight Princess because I think the atmosphere is creepy with the rain, dark lighting, and skeletal enemies.

    Rank the Games by Difficulty

    Maybe patience wasn't the best word to use, but I was thinking more along the lines of finding every shrine takes a lot of determination. It just takes so much more time to complete the main content of the game compared to any other Zelda games. Speaking about busywork, Minish Cap figurines...

    Rank the Games by Difficulty

    I actually just finished replaying Skyward Sword HD 6 days ago. The first time I played it was with button controls which in my opinion is a far better experience overall. This time was with motion controls, and I completely agree that the joycon drift adds a new problem to the motion controls...

    Rank the Games by Difficulty

    There have definitely been hardest or easiest game threads before, but I couldn't find one ranking them all so here we go. This is extremely subjective as there are multiple factors that go into difficulty like combat and puzzles so there could be a wide variety of opinions. Here is mine ranked...

    Ideas you have for Zelda stuff that realistically would never get made

    The idea I've had in mind since I was little was a Zelda game with about 50 full dungeons with little in between. In other words take Ocarina of Time as the gameplay template and multiply it in length by about 5. My logic as a child was dungeons are the best part of the games so they should make...

    Tears of the Kingdom Replayability

    I agree in theory although I have replayed BotW 5 times with all shrines and divine beasts each time. It is a huge time commitment to fully experience BotW or TotK, and that can be a barrier to wanting to replay them. It's much easier to replay Ocarina of Time in a week than sink months into...

    VikzeLink's Weekly Sunday Poll 572!

    I learned how to climb up the cliff without the lens to learn at the top that this was required. So disappointing. I really like semi-required items that you can skip once you have gained knowledge about the game. They could improve upon the Lens of Truth though.

    When do you see physical games being completely phased out?

    I hope never. I always buy the physical version even if it costs way more. For example I think Hollow Knight is routinely on sale for $7.50 from its usual $15, and I gladly paid $35 plus shipping for the physical version. This also ties into collectibles like the Hollow Knight physical version...
