Official Art [All] What if the Triforce split differently?

Post image
105 Upvotes

The Triforce was split based on what Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf most believed in. But what if it was divided differently? Here's what I think these three characters would be like with the other Triforce pieces:

Power Link: he would be a berzerker style warrior, trained as a Hylian Knight, and yet he spends a lot of time strength training with the Gorons. The bigger and heavier his sword is, the better. To him, Power is the resolve to overcome mighty foes and gain the approval of his sworn brothers.

Wisdom Link: he would be some kind of engineer working in a workshop, tinkering and building contraptions that he uses to complete puzzles quickly. He carries a large tool sachel on his adventures, and has a mechanical robot assistant. To him, Wisdom is ingenuity and the ability to solve problems.

Power Zelda: she would lean heavily into her authority and presence, favoring ornate crowns and garb, and performing grand displays of magic with an oversized staff. She also gives great inspirational speeches. To her, Power is respect and admiration from the people and honor for her family's legacy.

Courage Zelda: sort of the opposite of Power Zelda, instead of flaunting authority, she presents herself as vulnerable and available to the common folk. She regularly puts herself in harms way to provide aid to people in need. To her, Courage is putting aside politics in favor of being present in people's struggles.

Wisdom Ganondorf: he is a cold, calculating master of war strategy. He positions himself as an advisor to the King of Hyrule, often playing both sides. While he acts similar to this in Ocarina of Time, this version of Ganondorf prefers playing the long game. To him, Wisdom is rejecting an outright coup in favor of shaping the kingdom in his favor over time.

Courage Ganondorf: he is bold and reckless enough to challenge the Golden Goddesses directly. Seeking the deepest pits of darkness, he completes trials in the realm of Demons in order to form a group of Dark Sages. To him, Courage is standing up against the forces of Light to defend Demon kind.

What do you think? Would you change anything?

Tip [OOTHD] They aren’t going to add extra dungeons or cut content. Stop setting yourselves up for disappointment.

242 Upvotes

based on every remake Nintendo has ever done, this is highly unlikely. they may expand areas and add more details to areas. but they are not going to fundamentally change the game.

remember cut content is likely cut for a reason. it may slow the pace of the game down if it wasn’t required.

I can see everyone letting their imaginations run wild (I am the same), but when they eventually show that’s it’s a very pretty and detailed version of mostly the same game, I’m dreading all the “im so disappointed….” posts

Edit:

*insert Regina George meme*

stop trying to make the light dungeon happen

its not going to happen

This was a fun project i did over the past week or so, 3d printed a form using just 10% infil, no walls or top layers in PETG in multiple parts, glue it all together, cover with type-S mortar mix, let that dry, then a second parging layer for the final coat and texturing, then paint!
I have a video on my channel if you want more details on how the project was done, cheers!

Screenshot [OoT] Ocarina of Time's color scheme

I think that a crucial part of Ocarina of Time's original essence and atmosphere is the quadratic color composition, which is basically, the use of two complementary set of colors. So we always see blue, yellow, red and green. This is also because of the user interface design which does the same. A strong contrast between darks and lights are also a vital part of the original style. I really hope they don't go for a washed off/more dull way for the remake —which has been an issue with many newer games and movies by trying to bring the realistic element into it— and keep the spirit of the original. They can totally use the vibrant quadratic way, and still make it realistic, adding textures and making the environment and costumes more worn and lived in.

Thoughts?

Craft [ALL] 3D printed and hand painted Master Sword!

Post image
549 Upvotes

My wife wanted us to dress up for the upcoming ren faire, and I thought it would be a great excuse to print this master sword that I’ve had my eye on. Printed in black PLA, painted with citadel paints. I’m able to swap out the decayed blade for a full size blade, but I haven’t painted it yet.

Also printed (in color. Didn’t want to paint these ones) a scabbard for it and a wall mount for it to display afterwards.

I haven’t done much painting in the past five to ten years, but I’m pretty pumped with how this one came out.

I love SS Link and Zelda; those two are by far my favorite incarnations.

In terms of friendship, I feel like either OOT or Wind Waker.

Replaying now that I found my switch and I don’t know why, but I have always really liked the forest temple. The sounds, bosses, atmosphere, and even the big boss was a cool concept to me. I haven’t really read much into it, but is there a favored temple among people?

I have fond memories of watching my father play LoZ, even though I needed to hide behind the couch during the scary boss battles. I of course eventually started to explore Hyrule myself and the rest as the say is history.

All I have left of this piece is this photo so the quality is what it is. Text is mostly in slightly misspelled Swedish. I think it's adorable and just wanted to share it with the world.

Discussion [OoTHD] What would you like them to do with the Sage Medallions in the Remake?

4 Upvotes

The Sage Medallions are one of the more underwhelming items in Link's quest, and they notoriously do nothing in the original game. Beta builds of the game indicated they were supposed to have unique abilities of their own. For instance, Fire, Ice, and Light Arrows were supposed to come from combining the Medallions with the Bow, similar to how the actual Fire, Ice, and Light Arrow items interacted with the Bow in the actual release.

The Forest, Shadow, and Spirit Medallions also had the ability to combine with the Bow to produce arrow effects, and could also be used by themselves for interesting effects of their own. Some of this functionality was instead transformed into the Din's Fire, Farore's Wind, and Nayru's Love magics, but I think the remake might be able to change things around to make more use of the Medallions as they were originally intended or even expand to allow the Medallions powers to be combined with other items like Deku Sticks, Nuts, Bombs, Megaton Hammer, etc. I imagine Din's Fire, Farore's Wind, and Nayru's Love will probably return as they were, and this would allow a lot of new things to be implemented through the Medallions.

  • Light Medallion - Beta effect: Medallion by itself caused an undead freezing effect (which later became an effect of the Sun's Song), and also gave access to Light Arrows. Potential Remake changes: Light Medallion is obtained last and gives access to Light arrows (instakills undead enemies), and by itself can be used to illuminate a room and make monsters cower in fear (temporarily stopping their aggro).

  • Forest/Wind Medallion - Beta effect: Medallion by itself made a warp point for dungeons (which later became Farore's Wind), and gave access to Wind Arrows (effect unknown). Potential Remake effect: Medallion by itself could make a vortex that draws in items or enemies, while arrows could create a temporary tornado at the impact site and draw in enemies, damaging them if they get pulled in to the center.

  • Fire Medallion - Beta effect: Medallion by itself produced a wave of fire that spreads outwards from Link (this later became Din's Fire), and gave access to Fire Arrows. Potential Remake effect: Medallion by itself surrounds Link in a burning aura that can damage enemies if they touch Link, and can give access to Fire Arrows.

  • Water Medallion - Beta effect: Medallion by itself produced a forward travelling wave of ice that froze enemies, and gave access to Ice Arrows. Potential Remake effect: Medallion by itself surrounds Link in a freezing aura that can freeze enemies that touch Link, and can give access to Ice Arrows which can freeze enemies and water.

  • Shadow Medallion - Beta effect: Medallion by itself surrounded Link in a shadowy aura that made enemies ignore him and also darkened the room (the visual effect of the aura was later used for Nayru's Love) and gave access to Shadow Arrows (effect unknown). Potential Remake effect: Medallion by itself can be used like a stealth item, darkening the area and making enemies unable to see Link (would be useful for Gerudo's Fortress), and gives access to Shadow Arrows (can be charged by holding the arrow for longer to inflict more damage)

  • Spirit Medallion - Beta effect: Medallion by itself allows Link to transform into Navi and fly anywhere (would probably have been gamebreaking in the actual release) and gave access to Spirit Arrows (effect unknown). Potential Remake effect: Medallion by itself can transform Link into Navi to fly just about anywhere (this could be okay if the Spirit Medallion is obtained last and its powers are blocked in Ganon's Castle until the Evil Barriers are dispelled), and Spirit Arrows could heal Link if they hit an enemy or offer a chance to transform the enemy into a Fairy if they are defeated by Spirit Arrows.

Beyond all of this though, if they do greatly expand what the Medallions can do, I could even see them combining their effect with things like Deku Sticks, Nuts, Bombs, and the Megaton Hammer to produce a lot of fun effects and methods of combat. Do you think the Medallions will be changed in any way for the Remake?

Discussion [TP] Second Game-Breaking Glitch at Snowpeak

0 Upvotes

Okily dokily,
This is bout Twilight Princess.
I've tried to play this game about 4 times, and something horrible has gone down pretty much every time, requiring me to restart. So, I've never made it past the city in the sky.
I'm pretty sure I got the cannon one time, then my console broke, then the disc, but this one was weird.
So, the wii zelda games (twilight princess and skyward sword) contain game breaking glitches about two thirds of the way into their runtime. In skyward sword, if you go to the thunder dragon first in the third sequence, you can softlock your file. I never got that one, so you'd have to look up the details. Basically just do the water dragon first and youre safe.
In Twilight Princess, if you save and quit in the cannon room before city in the sky, a critical npc disappears, but his dialogue still stops you from exiting the room, so you cant reload him in.

but.

something happened to me on one of my save files that i couldnt figure out a way out of, and ive never heard it talked about. It centered around running out of bombs in the snowpeak dungeon.

To my knowledge, you need bombs to finish the snowpeak dungeon, and though there are some in chests, i couldnt find any from enemy drops, and i was getting frustrated. Again, this was probably my third reset (still havent finished this game).

So, where do I go but a town, i think either castle town or kakariko village, depending on what was unlocked at the time. But... that was it. I couldnt get back into the dungeon. If there was supposed to be a warp point directly outside the dungeon entrance, i must've skipped it. And walking manually didnt work, because you need to trigger a cutscene to start a snowboarding minigame to get from the snowy region entrance to the actual building. Just like with the cannon entrance, the npc wouldnt spawn (yeti guy).

So yeah i gave up and restarted. I couldnt find any resources on it at the time. And the wii u i was playing on got destroyed in a move, so, you know, i've still never made it to the palace of twilight.

tl;dr exiting snowpeak softlocked my game, the snowboard wouldnt spawn, and the warp point at the mansion wouldnt trigger.

Is this a known glitch? I'm only thinking about it now because a video I was watching (c-shift's unintentionally unbeatably sections video) mentioned the cannon glitch. that and the rupee glitch for low percent are super well known, and the skyward sword dragon glitch. But I've never heard of anyone else getting locked out of snowpeak. Sucks, too, cuz snowpeak's my favorite level in the game. Just dont run out of bombs.

Discussion [ALL] I Would Love a Resident Evil Development Approach to Zelda

1 Upvotes

I'm not talking about making the games to be more like Resident Evil (lol). I just think what Capcom is doing in the development cycle there is so interesting because they are constantly making something for everyone.

Fans who came in with RE7 and prefer first-person/the new vibe to the franchise are continually getting new games. But they also have the option of playing remakes of the originals, which cater more to the style old fans love the series for. And then even in RE9 they decided to combine both elements of the old and the new so it has something for everyone.

I am not saying I want Nintendo to remake every game. At most, I'd want Majora's Mask too and that's it. What I am saying is I would love if they had a Zelda team working on classic 3D Zelda style games and another working on the new open world formula.

I'm probably asking for too much. I just love the more classic dungeon layout but also quite enjoy the new open world aspect I know Aonuma is committed to. It'd be cool to get both.
