From OoT onwards they've explicitly designed Link to have both masculine and feminine traits so both boys and girls can have an easy time identifying with him. If you Google around you can probably find the exact quote
No problem! I'm glad you like it. I don't think his face is feminine enough to really fap to, though. Maybe someone else can shop Zelda's face over his.

This design is fucking awful

Lol, Wilds Link looks like such a stiff tool on the right.

I personally felt it was a good groundwork for future games. It's one of the first games in ages that I actually WANTED to explore the whole map as each area felt visually distinct and interesting.
I think being open world worked for it. I hope in future games they add back in the sidequests and more extended dungeons, maybe rework how durability works? (I liked getting different weapons, but the durability thing made me always nervous about using my nice weapons) but I thought Breath of the Wild was a good shake up.
I know I'm in the minority here, but the Champions are the weakest part of the whole game. I simply don't care for a bunch of dead people that don't even act that dead when you talk to their ghosts. Minpha and Daruk had some weight since you interact with their families but for the rest of the races the champions are ancient history, there isn't a sense that they where important.
I love how they take so much time to figure out Link's personality but in the end there is little difference with any other silent protagonist. Like somebody explaining why this two practically identical shades of beige are so different from each other.

They should have gone with the one with the glasses, But I think there had the same problem Disney Princesses have where they need to be pretty so they end up being bland.
Jaxson Evans
Read any Zelda artwork and you will find yourself enjoying the concept art more that the final product. I imagine it has to do with 3D modeling or simply the old Japanese lack of flexibility, but they usually end up going for the blander designs.
Anthony White
You need to convince me they did not just reused the same model 4 times with little variations. As good as the game is, it feels lacking in some parts. The beginning section is great but the rest of the zones feel empty in comparison, like 3 o 4 interesting places scanter around a sea of nothing.
Landon Lewis
welp OP is dead. Also stop posting images during a storytime you idiots.
Gabriel Miller
I wish you could tame wolves in the game.
Notice the "classic" Ganon design from the upper right.
Don't remember much about the actual beating of it other than megaton-hammering that fucker's tail a few times, and the timing on the first part of slicing the blasts back being tricky.
A lot of good memories from the whole game though.

There is something hilarious is seeing a tough and fierce looking woman in a cartoon seal pattered dress.
I played Oracle of seasons, When Onox is defeated for the first time and the ground begins to cruble I didn´t know it was a scripted even so I tried to stay on top as long as I could. Then I almost got killed because I didn't realized you could walk in Onox hands to attack his weak point.
WAIT THERE WAS AN AFRO ONE IN THE GAME? I must have missed her.
Landon Ortiz

I think malice nyadra was my favorite experience in the game; especially since it was before I encountered any of the other dragons so it was just such a legit surprise that "OH SHIT WHAT IS THAT ON THE MOUNTAIN?"
BotW Link is already so fucking tiny, if retro pantsless link is that much shorter... christ.
Dominic Bennett
It's hilarious to ride a bear to a stable
Brayden Anderson
It's EXTREMELY unflattering.
Isaiah Davis
ehh the magic sword can be the master sword the oracle games indicate any sword CAN be the master sword, it's just something someone forges with holy power, and it can run the divine OS
I'd love if we had this same sort of breadth and scope but with a lot of underground instead of no underground. the switch could run it. it's weird how every big zelda game is a generation behind when it finally comes out what if everyone lived underground and they didnt even know what sky was
Split timeline is just something dumb based on a poor understanding of a poorly-translated aonuma interview. it was never canon and it will never be canon.
I dunno I feel like every rito should be a raptor, it strains belief if they randomly include one parrot. he's not even zygodactyl, and neither was the owl I think
It started out stupid, it got stupider. even when creators accept fan ideas, that doesn't make it okay. And they always needed THREE timelines to make it work, instead of aonuma's two. then they put out a book claiming three, and one of them is 'because he died' THAT DOES NOT MAKE ANOTHER SPLIT. there's no magic involved, no ocarina playing. just death. it's retarded to anyone with any semblance of thought in their head, and I'm extremely gratified this game ignored it.

different user, but I think they just said its at the end of one of the timelines. They haven't decided. But Botw could be set so far into the future that the events from the past games have hardly any say in the events of Botw
Adam Collins
Same experience for me. I think the game wanted us to do that right before beating ganon because someone in hateno village suggested to go to Mt. Lanayru towards the end.
>towards the end You can get that suggestion any time. Freeing Naydra was one of the first things I did, well before I had any cold weather or climbing gear. Very satisfying for how difficult I made it for myself, barely cooked anything either.

Too bad there's hardly any other surprises like this in the game.

Gotta massage that thick knub downstairs, user.
Also, anyone else get creeped out by some of the characters in the towns? Like for example, the Dye Clothes guy's wife.

Flint is the hobo way of starting a fire. Carry a flame sword, and use it only for fire. You can also use it to convert chu jelly into flame chu jelly, which will explode in a fireball when shot with an arrow.

These look more like cities. That would have been interesting.
Maybe the next installment. Doubt they are gonna make all future zeldas post apocalyptic
Connor Diaz
>they add back in the sidequests
The game has plenty of sidequests, it's just that the most interesting ones are legitimately obscure and, despite what you'd expect, Hateno has almost nothing to do after your initial visit, while the other towns 'open up' quest wise after you've beaten their respective divine beast, and some of the most significant quests requires you to do a bunch of other, more minor quests in order to access them.
It's surprisingly bad design in the sense a significant number of people would have no idea that the game even has half the quests it does, because most of them would have tried doing a few in Kakario and Hateno, found they didn't lead to anything yet, then went through the Divine beat quests for the other villages and then left after completing those. So despite being this apparently "open, you can do anything any time" game, most of the game's interesting content is effectively 'post game'.
Daniel Morris
>Flint is the hobo way of starting a fire.
I find it unfortunate how so many of the more interesting ways of doing things become obsolete so quickly. The axe becomes useless almost immediately for instance.
Camden Perry
they so could have incorporated time travel in some form in order to do something like this.
Joseph Sullivan
The Master Sword quickly replaces all the axes and hammers.
Xavier Johnson
I had the opposite problem, I go exploring, finding chest or killing enemies then end up on a village and talk to people, They tell me about a quest but immediately the game tells me I already complete it.
Joseph Barnes
Immediately, more like. I basically never used any specialized tools unless I was roleplaying or fucking around.
Aiden Collins
I hope Nintendo realizes how Lynel fights as a whole elevated the game. Need more Lynel-type fights, less Bokoblins. Darknuts and Stalfos should have been in the game as well, on the same tier as Lynels.
Thomas Collins
The sword was retconned to the master sword. Obviously

Are Gorons genderless or the females are just indistinguishable from the males?
Angel Sullivan
The joke is that we don't know and BotW is the first game in the series to actually make fun of this.
Jack Hill
By default, a single gender species are all female biologically. They call each other "brother", but that's cultural.
>They call each other "brother", but that's cultural. Yeah, I think in TP they call the girl with amnesia brother too.
Michael Evans
I´ll say they pop out of the ground, but they clearly have belly buttons
Jaxon Nguyen
I suspect that they reproduce by budding. One day they have a wart. Later it starts to talk to them. Eventually it falls off and gets a job in the mine.
I wanted to see more of the red hooded Link instead they chose the worst unused design to showcase
Aiden Cox
thanks

It's no different from Korra where they use a setting they have no right to use and added their own cultural flair to it

I like the idea that baby Gorons come from chunks of "rocks" breaking off of the backs of other Gorons.

Nonsense. If you seek out the memories you get rewarded with finding out more about who Link is. He's the first failed Link.

Ian Evans
user, I've been a fan of the series for years. I've seen a bunch of people always complain about Zelda wanting them to be something it has never been. People who start with BotW are incapable of liking the rest of the series so much because of that. BotW is not the same franchise at all. While on paper it sounds good, many core elements of the series were downplayed or removed, we have a large ubisoft-like world with nothing of interest in it for multiple square miles. Not to say that the franchise hasn't had any problems lately, but for any actual Zelda fan, it is a big dissapointment.
Nolan Campbell
No, it's just a very very vocal minority that have been endlessly screaming since BotW came out.
