    Matthew Mercer confirms his involvement

    Matthew Mercer has finally been allowed to reveal he is voicing Ganondorf in the English language release this time around. This is not a surprise as many had already speculated it to be him but. It's good to finally hear it confirmed...

    Return of Master Kohga

    The strong! The burly! The one! The only! Master Kohga!...What if he isn't dead? In BoTW he falls down a pit and a large ball drops on top of him, however this popular character returns in Age of Calamity and may even be a different incarnation. So i suspect they may bring Kohga back in ToTK...

    Who ruined it for everyone?

    This is a thread to name and shame those that ruined things for everyone. The toothbrush moustache for instance is something that you just can't wear anymore because Hitler ruined it for everyone by doing world war 2. British chef Jamie Oliver ruined school meals for everyone by getting turkey...

    R.I.P Maxi Jazz

    Unfortunately the musician Maxi Jazz has passed on at the age of 65. He was well known as the lead singer of Faithless, an electronic dance band which I listened to a lot particularly in my teen years. He is said to have died peacefully in his sleep but I am currently unaware of the cause. My...

    Most unusual thing you have eaten

    My grandfather was serving in Malaysia and enjoying the local 'chicken' curries. He found them delicious and the meat succulent. One day he found an unusual bone in his dish which did not resemble anything from a chicken, he took this bone to his friend who was a vet on the RAF base who...

    What did the Pandemic ruin?

    Here is a thread to list and talk about the things that the pandemic have ruined. There are many things but I will list a couple of examples and add later when I think of more. People's driving. I genuinely feel that people's driving has gotten worse after the pandemic. So many drive like...

    Dumb comments you often see or hear

    There are a lot of dumb people in the world and a lot of dumb things leave their mouths or they direct their fingers to type dumb things too. A lot of dumb stuff even comes from intelligent people either due to ignorance or for malicious purposes also. With platforms like Tik Tok or Twitter...

    Industries you would like to see die out

    What are some industries & practices you would like to see die out or can't believe they are still going? I'll post the ones I can think of right now and might add to it: Tat shops. Often located in holiday destinations these shops sell tacky items related to the area, rarely tasteful and I am...

    Favourite Witches

    As this is Halloween month I thought it would be appropriate to make this thread. I personally love witches. I always used to dress as a witch for Halloween when I was a child and I think the wicked witch is always a great choice for an antagonist in any fiction. This is a thread for people to...

    The Rings of Power

    Has anyone been watching The Rings of Power? I am all up to date and am enjoying the show so far. I believe it has the highest budget of any TV show yet and I can tell as it is a gorgeous series, probably the most visually stunning I have seen. The soundtrack is very good, overall not as good as...

    Ncuti Gatwa is the new Doctor Who!

    (I hope this is the new doctors outfit) It has long been my opinion that the series went downhill after Russell T Davies left and despite liking Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi as actors I thought their seasons were inferior to Chris Eccleston and David Tennants seasons which were under Russel T...

    I don't remember seeing a thread like this for a while so I DIO, shall make one. What is everyone's top 10 favourite games of all time? I've played a lot of games over the years and I am lucky enough to have been able to add not only one but two new titles to my top greatest games in 2022 so far...

    Have you travelled since the pandemic?

    It's been two years since the outbreak of coronavirus and this has put many people's trips to other countries on hold. Many have had to cancel or rearrange their trips. Personally haven't bothered to even book anything before now because of the risk of cancellation but I have finally booked a...

    Best kind of nuts?

    Nuts are good. I like to consume nuts on a daily basis. 20g walnuts blended into my protein shake every day is a must for me. When it came to picking a nut I found Walnuts are good for prostate health which is why I choose them for every day use. Not necessarily my favourite flavoured or the...

    What new skill would you like to learn?

    Forum Dwellers. Is there any new skills you would like to learn whether it be learning something artistic like pottery, taking up a new language, or maybe how to play a new instrument. If so what skills are they and do you have any plans to make these desires a reality? And what might be holding...

    Does the shooting Gallery owner have lip fillers

    In OOT we meet the owner of a shooting gallery who happens to have very full lips. This look is generally not achieved through natural means and often requires injections into the lips to give a more plump appearance. The gallery owner appears to have shaved his chest and belly hair into the...

    Breath of the Wild Tastiest meals in BOTW

    BoTW has a large selection of meals you can make in the game. Ingredient gathering and cooking is nothing new in RPGs and it's not even new to Zelda as you could brew potions in SS, however I enjoyed the cooking aspect of BoTW and believe it was done well and better than quite a lot of other...

    People that look like Zelda Characters

    Have you ever seen someone or know someone that reminds you of a Zelda character in real life if so who is it and who do they look like? I think one for me is Tom Jones. He not only has a great voice but since getting older he has often reminded me of a Goron, in particular Gor Coron from...

    Should Link get fat in BoTW 2

    One of the problems with BoTW I found is that once you get enough good meals in your inventory you can just keep healing yourself indefinitely meaning it's almost impossible to die, making the game way too easy. A way to put a stop to this would be that if link eats too many meals during a...

    Why Gerudo Eyes are Yellow in OOT but not BoTW

    In BoTW the Gerudo are green eyed yet keep the distinctive red hair and sharp noses from their appearance in OOT. However in OOT their eyes are a sinister yellow. I came across a little something corncering the Japanese ALTTP manual that could provide an explanation in the lore as to why this...

    Have you had the dreaded Virus?

    Getting Old people into gaming

    I sometimes visit care homes to treat the patients there and many of them still have their minds intact but it seems like such a boring existence to have to live out the rest of their days the way they do. Many of them sit in chairs watching crappy TV all day and I often think to myself how...

    Where do you go for coffee/tea

    Do you have anywhere in particular you like to go and drink coffee or tea? Do you like any of the big chain coffee houses or do you prefer an independent? In the UK our big chains seem to be Costa, Starbucks, Cafe Nero's, Coffee #1 and Pret. I don't really drink coffee anymore but I love a...

I watched the show when it first came out and I didn't have any idea how big it would be but now the memes are everywhere and everyone seems to be talking about it.

    The future of James Bond (Mild Spoilers no details)

    I saw No Time To Die the other day and without ruining the plot of the film. I think most who saw it will conclude there is little chance of the character established in the Daniel Craig bond films, carrying on work as a secret agent recast or otherwise. This leaves the question, how will James...

    Mahakala inspiration for TP Ganondorf?

    I saw this ring advertised today and I immediately thought of Ganon from TP. Zelda often takes inspiration from Eastern religions such as Taoism, Shinto, Hinduism and Buddhism so I thought that one of the deities could well have inspired Ganondorfs TP design. This ring was incorrectly called the...

    Guanajuato Mummies, ReDead Inspiration?

    The ReDead are the most terrifying enemy in OOT as far as I am concerned. They gave me nightmares as a child and stopped me sleeping many times. Their design is quite striking and I have been curious as to the inspiration behind it. Today I came across the Juanajuato mummies. Mexican mummies...

    Stopping eating meat won't save the environment

    https://youtu.be/sGG-A80Tl5g It's been my belief for a while now that eating meat is very bad for the environment due to emissions. It also seemed inefficient and wasteful that so much land was being used to grow crops for animals instead of growing plants for feeding humans. I saw meat as a...

    Chocolate kept in the fridge or not?

    I was wondering how the members of ZD store their chocolate. I think chocolate should be stored at room temperature so that it melts as soon as you put it inside the mouth. Chocolate eaten from the fridge does not melt right away and you can't get the flavour of it as well. How do you store yours?@

    Why are the hermet crabs in the desert in SS so angry?

    Watts up guys. I saw a proposition for this thread idea in the SB by @Satan Claus so I thought I would get it made. The 'angry' electrical hermit crabs in question are called Ampilus. Possibly the amp part of their name comes from ampere, the unit of electrical current. As these creatures are...

    Groose is the ancestor of the TP postman

    I needed to post a picture of the postman from TP in a thread today and it struck me how much he resembled an older less musclebound Groose with a leaner face. I thought this deserved its own thread and for everyone to learn the TRUTH! We can't see under the postman's hat but the pointed...

    Drink of Choice

    I saw a discussion in the SB earlier about different Zelda characters drinks of choice. Have you ever looked at a Ganondorf and thought, that there has got to be a whisk(e)y man. Or looked at the lakeside laboratory scientist and thought 'he looks like the type of guy that drinks turpentine...

    Smooth or Crunchy PB?

    Which type of PB do you like? And how do you like to consume it? I like the natural smooth PB, 100% peanuts with no palm oil or any other crap added. Even the supermarkets have started doing this kind now that the demand for a purer product is higher. Another good thing is it is also ok to...

    Bring back the hyoi pear!

    It was mentioned in the SB that the beetle should return. I liked the beetle but an even cooler idea I think would be to have the hyoi pear return. This could make for a really good item and it could be far more versatile than in Wind Waker. Instead of just one type of creature Link should be...
