You can drive yourself up the wall thinking about the inconsistencies in the timeline of this series. I think it's just the result of poor planning and plot holes by the series creators. They put very little thought into this compared to you and others. One good thing about Breath of the...

The Scarlet Rot is also obviously a lot like Malice.

check this out and see if it doesn't sound familiar A blind master of the sword from a time long before the Shattering. It's said he received a "flowing sword" from a blue fairy and used it to seal away an ancient god of Rot. He's implied to have worn the Blue Cloth Set. At very least, the...

Did a little list of Elden Ring and Zelda series enemies and characters and bosses in terms of my views on their equivalency Dogs & Undead Dogs = Stalhounds Fire ChuChu = Burning Slug Teardrop Scarab = hiding Koroks Exile Soldiers = Wizzrobes or Yiga or Garo Bokoblin = DemiHumans Bokoblin =...

all the statues of Marika remind me of the statues of Hylia in BOTW. similar characters in a way too.

I don't see any evidence of it happening but I would like to see winged bokoblins. That would be an interesting enemy design. Like the winged Lizalfos from Twilight Princess.

Playing Elden Ring has me appreciating more the open world bandit camps and environmental dungeons of Breath of the Wild. I was disappointed in them at the time as of course an old school Zelda fan I wanted dungeons but I see now there's a lot of clever design in them like in Elden Ring. That...

is Northern the more "country" accent in England whereas Southern is the more country in the U.S.? I don't think I will get Godrick's scream and expression out of my mind for sometime from his mid boss fight cutscene...

Here's some parallels I'm seeing and I've only found the time to do the first two and a half areas (Limgrave, Weeping Peninsula, and Liurnia)... There's a minor dungeon that's a lot like the Forest Temple from Ocarina. It has creepy crawling giant grabby hands, wolves in overgrown abandoned...

I left and went and beat Castle Morne, Fort Haight, and did some other things. I can't remember what its moveset was now but go ahead and tell me so I will notice it when I go back to the Weeping Peninsula.

I'm in the Weeping Peninsula area and I see a big tree on the map. I go to it and I end up having to fight what I can only describe as an evil Great Deku Scrub.

Here's an example of how Mii-like and trivial acting the bland minor NPCs in BOTW act https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auZmTcNNIBQ

Limgrave is so beautiful. The starting area is just golden. Feels like the Great Plateau mixed with the starting areas of Twilight Princess, OoT, and the shire though more dangerous and more wild. Just looking up at that great golden tree. I don't think I can ever look at the Great Deku Tree the...

Played some Elden Ring this evening. Felt like BOTW. Had my naked wretch character coming out of what felt like a shrine of resurrection style cave (though like a mini-dungeon with plenty of enemies and beautiful underground cavernous setting) and out into the wild. I feel naked and vulnerable...

same with me. I want the tragic minor character stories to return like the windmill guy from OoT and not lame Mii like characters who are doing trivial things like collecting ingredients out in the wild or "exploring" for no reason and being an annoyance to have to save only for them to keep...

I didn't expect to get such good responses. Thank you. I could read responses like that all day.

Both obviously draw influence from the fabled Atlantis but here I would like to compare some of the similarities between the Elder Scrolls race and the Zelda race both technology more advanced than the other races in their world both hide technology underground both disappear (the Sheikah do...

The big bad in the new Elden Ring trailer gave off Demise from Skyward Sword vibes with his giant orange hair thing going on.

Anyone get in on the network test? I didn't. Just curious. The playtest area felt a lot like the Great Plateau from BOTW. The scene of the player character coming out of their own tomb felt like then out into the open world had a very shrine of resurrection feel to it and first encountering...

You're right, Chevy. Horseback seemed even more ingrained here in TP than BOTW. There's some bokoblins on horseback and you hear about them stealing from Lurelin village like raiding bandits, but the Bulbins in TP really lived that almost Mongolian invader ethos in my mind canon of TP's lore...

Alien Hominid was a classic New Grounds game I believe that I played on PS2 years ago. I guess that's considered having browser roots.

Keep checking to see when you will update this GZ

Thinking back on OoT, Lon Lon Ranch should have had more NPCs. I would assume this ranch was somewhat under control of the royal family and raised horses for the royal army... it's never specified though Ganon does favor Ingo in the future timeline... So it doesn't really make sense that only 2...

I always found a real charm to the dancing couple and lively atmosphere of Hyrule castle town in OoT. And it's even carried over a little in Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess. There's this missed opportunity for a Renaissance atmosphere to cities in Zelda (of course we've not gotten a big...

the more I think about the Lost Woods the more I realize it's maybe my favorite area in all Zelda games though disappointing in Breath of the Wild as it's turned into a shrine quest mini-game despite its great atmosphere... I think I like the nearby region shrouded in perpetual darkness much...

Isometric 2D feels like 3D still compared to side scrolling 2D. The only 2D Zelda game in my opinion still is the 2nd game.

In my love of mythology and trying to tie it to series that I love like the Legend of Zelda, I found a group that struck me similar to the Garo from Majora's Mask at least in how they are portrayed in this drawing and description The Coranied This strange, supernatural race sought to...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scTUWDUHdaQ I post this because they share a slightly similar motif. The Fiends and Chorts of Witcher 3 reminding a lot of the scary encounters of Lynels in BOTW. Lynels are definitely smarter and more cunning. I remember one encounter I had just trying to...

I don't know if I ever thought about a dungeon in the series being overrated, but everytime I hear about how great Hyrule Castle is to explore in Breath of the Wild I feel like I didn't enjoy what people feel are the more enjoyable elements of BOTW as much as everyone else did. It's just another...

We saw this game revival not at this past E3 but the one before that. Not a lot is known about it yet, but it's not being made by Lionhead like the Fable games of years ago. I remember those games fondly but also they were quite different from the RPGs that have come since While series like...

I recently played Path of Exile because it was suggested to me for so long by friends and it was my first ARPG of the Diablo type. And I really enjoyed it. I might pick this one up because I hear it has the same enjoyability factor without some of the more harsh and complex aspects of POE.

Oh, yeah, I'm not saying that it's inspired or copied from. I just wanted to share. I'm a big believer in the Jungian concept of the "collective unconscious" where we all somehow across cultures end up with myths and stories with similar themes. I just thought I'd share as part of the enjoyment...

An immortal weapon used to bind this demonic entity. It sounds an awful lot like the classic tale of the "master sword" and o.g. Gannon. But it also fits in with the mysterious arm from BOTW2 that is pinning down what we assume to be malice filled Gannon. The tribe from this classic pulp...

I'm afraid it won't fix what I didn't enjoy about BOTW1. It will still lack many enemy types like the Stalfos and a lot of others. It will just rehash a lot of BOTW1's enemies. There still won't be dungeons because they're more interested in this overworlds as "dungeon like" game design. And the...

Stumbling over this I couldn't help but think how great it would be to encounter a forest spirit protecting the Great Deku Tree. A giant warrior like this that you would have to battle, as a test of courage, before getting to interact with the Great Deku Tree and retrieve the master sword...

Researching more mythology I found something else that brought my mind back to the Zelda series these snow creatures who have big feet and a penchant for skiing like Yeto and his sledding or snowboarding with Link https://mythcrafts.com/2017/12/14/barbegazi-the-alpine-snow-gnomes/ Now, I've...

Well, they beat themselves to the punch as well with Shadows Die Twice having a similar theme

Got your attention, okay, no Keanu Reeves won't be doing motion capture or face model for Link in BOTW2 though that would be either really bad or really good no, I want to talk about something I swear I stumbled on to that others in the Zelda community are noticing too while I was looking up...

Okay that probably is just Link and not another character. Yeah, and shots of things like Link floating around the regular landscape of Hyrule on his paraglider fighting Bokoblins looks like ordinary gameplay from vanilla regular BOTW 2017... we waited to see things we have already seen for...

Not mistaking it. Because obviously the arm holding Demise or Ganon down in the crypt had to have belonged to someone from the past... It could possibly be that character and that character could be of the Zonai. Just because it looks like Link from behind doesn't mean it's link. We never see...

Twilight Princess 2?

Yeah, you are right. Miyazaki cares that you discover the lore and rewards the time you put in thinking about the world or the items or the characters. Nintendo doesn't seem to care for its lore theorist because they obviously give very little care for world building or lore building aside from...

Was the Greek warrior looking, long haired character falling from the Sky BOTW's Link or a Zonai ancestor? the one who originally had the arm powers? the length of what was shown and the vague non-info is still disappointing... I don't think it will be delayed til 2023 like some are negatively...

Koloktos was a cannibal. jk. But that whole temple had a great theme that people have made great lore videos on for its Buddhist themes. I think a lot of thought when into that temple whereas not so much in the guardians for BOTW

any thoughts on Zelda lore youtubers who struggle to make lore videos constantly out of so little material to work with? (thanks to Nintendo not giving much care for the world of Hyrule as far as lore goes)

Compare the story of the Tarnished from Elden Ring to something else from Twilight Princess... Story Summary: https://www.famitsu.com/news/202106/14223605.html The following events were explained to Link by the Light Spirit Lanayru, after he has restored the light to Lanayru Province...

No. Introduce a Luddite character who smashes the damn thing. The hermit King had the right idea about Sheikah tech. It was too dangerous to begin with. It's the reason Hyrule fell. they were right to banish it to begin with.

https://twitter.com/serkantoto/status/1400090861187125252 this guy seems to suggest it's coming in 2022

I also didn't realize how much dislike Twilight Princess had here in the forums. I always thought it looked great on older CRTVs back in the day. I loved its aesthetic. Haven't seen much of the HD remake.. I thought it looked good from what I saw... Of course the art design wasn't going to age...
