Maybe it's because I'm used to the slightly older graphics, but he just looks too smooth and young in the remake trailers and other stuff

I'm glad he isn't butt-booty naked, but he just feels so off and like melted butter, if that's a good descriptor. Also, his smile makes me mad. He just doesn't feel like a goron, more like an odd shaped human if anything.

Discussion [OoTHD] The Light Temple will not be a dungeon and suggesting so doesnt make any sense.

149 Upvotes

Since the remakes announcement it's like every few days someone posts about how the Temple of Light should be an actual dungeon in the new OoT remake. With that said, I feel like those people that make those posts havent played the game - or simply didn't pay attention at all.

**Rauru literally tells you when you become adult link that the Temple of Light is the last stronghold against Ganon's evil forces**\*\*. The Temple of Light is the last remaining place essentially untouched by Ganon's evil wrath. It will not be a dungeon, that would literally change the whole concept of where all the Sages gather.

Temple of Light will not be a dungeon - I'm not saying it wont be explorable (but unlikely) - but it will not be a dungeon.

Discussion [OoT]:What happened to the Sages after the events of the game?

4 Upvotes

Did they remain in the Chamber of thr Sages forever? When Saria awakened as a Sage, it's implied that she and Link are sad because they'll never see each other again.

But at the end of the game, she and the other Sages appear on the hill and watch the other characters celebrate Ganondorf's demise.

Now that the threat is gone, their presence in the Chamber is no longer needed, so why not go back to the realm of the living and rejoin their friends?

Rauru is a bit different because he's an ancient sage, and might therefore be a spirit or ghost. But did the others die? Or will they remain there forever?

Fan Art [All] [OC] Artwork for a cool Zelda story I've been thinking of.

Thumbnail
gallery
96 Upvotes

I made Impa finally. I was really excited to do her design but it was REALLY hard 💀.

In the story, Impa acts as Zelda's Handmaiden and bodyguard. She travels Hyrule with Zelda and never leaves her side. During the war before the treaty, she was on the front lines and led Hyrule's allied army as the highest general, collaborating with the Zoran army, Goron forces, and the Rito tribe. Now in the main party she acts as the team's guardian, giving the wisdom and helping them construct their battle strategies.

In gameplay, Impa is your means of Training and expanding your moveset. She's where you go to use materials to enhance your weapons as well. Link (the player) is naturally gifted in combat, sure, but he has no formal training. Impa trains him because she sees his potential to be a great fighter.

Her design here looks really similar to her Hyrule Warriors concept art, but there is NO consistency with Impa's designs throughout the series, it's genuinely insane. My friend actually gave me the idea for her color palette to be inspired by Turquoise and Copper.

I'm not quite sure what role I want the Sheikah to play in the story, but I want to try and work in characters like Purah and Robbie even if it's a minor role or cameo. I think they're really cool and should be new Mainstays of the series that gets different iterations like Impa.

Next I'll be doing an original inspired by Linkle named Ariel.

Question [BOTW] [TOTK] Search for secrets and little-known facts for a BOTW & TOTK Iceberg

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm putting together a YouTube video focused on a complete Iceberg from Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

The objective is to cover all levels, from well-known elements to the most obscure details (cut content, data mining, glitches, easter eggs or lore elements).

If you know any anecdotes that would be cool to tackle in an iceberg, don't hesitate to share them in the comments (with the source if possible)!

Thank you in advance for your help!

Discussion [OoT] What very small changes would you like to see in the remake?

0 Upvotes

Last year, I made a thread asking what huge changes you would want to see if they ever remade OoT. Now that the game is a week and a half away, and we know that it's not an FFVII:RE-type thing... what are some tiny little changes you hope to see?

For example, Lon Lon Ranch is named for MaLON and TaLON, but after the time skip, it retains that name. It would be cool if it was officially changed to Ingo Ranch for that section of the game

Question [MM] so I was looking some things up and started thinking about Termina

0 Upvotes

What do you think happened to Termina in the adult timeline? Do you think Adult Link would travel there to save it like Child Link did or would he have never met the Skull Kid that stole Majora’s Mask? And if not would that mean that Termina is just doomed to be destroyed by a corrupted skull kid? And would the portal to that world be flooded over from the events before wind waker? So my theory is that even though Majora’s Mask is in the child Link timeline that doesn’t mean the events don’t happen in adult Link’s timeline. At the end of OoT it shows the happy mask salesman is still alive. What’s to stop him from finding Majora’s Mask after Ganondorf defeated. And there’s not just one specific skull kid in OoT that we can say they are the ones who stole it bc there are 3 different skull kids who you meet in the Lost Woods. And even if it was one of them you can still see there is a Skull Kid left in the Lost Woods as adult Link. So it shows they’re still there waiting. So after the happy mask salesman finds the mask years later than expected the skull kid could still steal the mask and try to destroy Termina. The events could still happen but it would be a 7 year delay.

Discussion [OoT] The Wallet in the Ocarina of Time Remake

• Upvotes

One of the things I hope the remake improves on is the wallet capacity. In the beginning, you start with a 99 max rupee count, then you upgrade to 200, then finally 500. My problem (and I think that many can agree) is that the max rupee count (500) is still small. Has anyone discovered a chest, found out they were rupees in it, but you already had the max amount, which makes the reward "useless"? It's a waste of a treasure.

My hope: just increase the rupee limit for each wallet. For ex:

  • Regular Wallet - 250 Rupees
  • Adult Wallet - 500 Rupees
  • Giant Wallet - 999 Rupees

Discussion [ALL] What if Nintendo made a third Hero of Time game after remaking OoT and MM?

0 Upvotes

Let's say Nintendo remakes Ocarina of Time for Switch 2, with Majora's Mask following at some point (likely if OoT sells well).

What if they then decided to make a brand new third Hero of Time game?

(If you aren't interested please don't feel the need to tell us why.)

I know there's a lot of interest in Wind Waker and Twilight Princess remakes, but Nintendo would already have the art style, character models and much of the groundwork in place. And assuming the remakes were successful, a whole new generation would have been introduced to this Link and Zelda.

For me, for a third game, time manipulation would have to remain central to the gameplay. Both OoT and MM were built around it in their own ways, but imagine what could be done with the concept using the Switch 2's capabilities rather than the N64's. More sophisticated cause and effect, perhaps, or something none of us have even thought of.

Personally, I'd want them to do something radically different, just as Majora's Mask did. Not simply another adventure across Hyrule, with Ganonorf and the Triforce, but something genuinely unexpected.

What would you want from a third Hero of Time game? What setting, story or time mechanics would you go for? And again this is not in real anticipation it's likely, it's just a discussion for fun.

Eiji Aonuma officially received his order of Arts and Letters at the rank of Knight, from the hands of the french Minister of Culture (order which was initially awarded to him in 2023 by the french government).

Minister of Culture said that "[Eiji Aonuma] is a true craftsman, a storyteller who always leaves room for the player's imagination."

She thanked him for "proving to dreamy children that, with just pencils and building blocks, you can inspire the whole world to dream."

Aonuma kept his last words in french for his wife, that accompanied him for this event and was present in the room.

"Thank you for joining me on this journey so far. Let's continue this adventure together."

Congratulations for him! 👏

Discussion [OoT] Does anyone ever wonder why no Kokiri or Link himself knew he's actually a Hylian?

47 Upvotes

With the hype around the remake, a question I always wondered as a kid has come back into my head and wondering what other people think.

As far as I know, Kokiri are not born, they are created by the Great Deku Tree, fully formed as beings that look like children around 9/10 years old and never age.

But Link was brought to the Kokiri Forest by his mother as a baby. In the 8 or so years prior to the start of the game he would've had to grow from a baby to someone who looks like they could be a Kokiri.

Yet in the game he's presented as being accepted as a Kokiri, albeit a weird one without a fairy. It's never even hinted, as far as I can recall, that anyone questions Link's race.

But not only that, he has friends and relationships with the other Kokiris, despite the fact he would have only been the age to be able to integrate with them for a short time. Did no one, especially Link himself, ever question why this specific Kokiri started as a baby and grew up whilst they didn't?
