>link iconically carries his sword and shield on his back
>it's impossible to actually unsheathe a longsword from the back
>shield also magically sticks to his back

it's a magic sword.

Fantasy.

>>723284181 (OP)
Trick sheath similar to quick draw pistol holster

I don't consider any zelda game where link is right handed to be a real zelda game.

I really hate how many otherwise photorealistic video games with huge budgets are still doing stuff like this. It doesn’t bother me in Zelda games.

>>723284181 (OP)
wtf is that on the left?

>>723284842
So twilight princess is a real zelda game on gcn, but not on wii, wiiu, or cemu...yeah im thinking disgustingly autistic

>>723284181 (OP)
I hate that weapons floating at characters' backs is so ubiquitously accepted in videogames.

It's immersion breaking.

>>723285113
How are shitty remakes even games.

>>723284181 (OP)
pls tell me thats not a screencap from the movie...
that shit looks so fucking cheap

>>723284842
I don't consider BotW/TotK to be Zelda games, yes.

>>723285136
at first i thought that pepe was dressed like an african woman.

>it's impossible to actually unsheathe a longsword from the back
No it isn't, this is a retarded talking point from early Arms & Armor Youtube that has been very debunked at this point.

>>723285136
you have autism

>>723284181 (OP)
Kick the bottom of the sheath, causing the sword to pop up, and then pull a Trunks and toss the sword into the air and then tilt to one side to catch it straight down the sheath,
It's like you don't even sword fight.

>>723285335
Hey shad.
I hate that your a fucking mormon and you need to leave that shit to join the one true church, but I hate the faggots that hate you more than I hate that, so sometimes i put your videos on in the background just to give you views.

>>723285335
>OP pic literally shows it doesn't work
>um nuh uh
debunked how?

>>723284181 (OP)
Your image literally shows Link pulling the scabbard down with his other hand. The cosplayer could have tried that.
It is possible, it's just impractical.

>>723285468
Shad's videos just make me sad ever since his heath started deteriorating and he can barely do anything physical anymore

>>723285465
thats fucking retarded, however kicking the sword into position is common for italian spadone (greadsword)

>>723285113
Yes. The mirrored version of Twilight Princess is objectively a spin-off that isn't the real game, like Master Quest for OoT.

>>723285676
I'm not here for realism, I'm here for a 5'6" elf with no definition wielding a longsword in one hand who rolls around constantly without slicing himself up.

>>723285563
You can easily draw a longsword from a back scabbard by just holding the thing with your other hand, just like in the in game animation being shown. There are also designs for purpose made back scabbards where you can slide it out with one hand even easier, though none of those are explicitly historical.

There are hema dorks itt…!

>>723284181 (OP)
Out of all the absurd things in Zelda games, that's what you have to gripe about?

Who would have thought that FF7 would be the most realistic in one aspect with the magnet on the back holding the buster sword.

>>723284181 (OP)
Rule of cool, fagit
Take your braindead realism to your reddit games like RDR

>>723285662
I didnt know about that, his videos mostly make me sad because his views keep getting shittier while he's the last man standing from the old swordtube, even matt easton started being a huge fucking faggot for no fucking reason, rawlings literally became antifa, literally every single top fencer from europe just stopped doing videos and competitions, and the only people that now get pushed by the algo are literal antifatrannies like david "napoleon complex" miller.

>>723285335
Its not debunked, you'd have to pull it out once, then grip the blade itself to get it out.
LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE

>>723285290
holy shit it isn't
had to read your post and look at it again

>>723285113
I thought Wii U TP was non-mirrored?

>>723286230
Yeah, a sissy faggot putting his weapon in an impractical so he can show it off like his purse instead of an actual warrior that knows his shit is so cool.

>>723285805
>he's a hylian

>>723285007
Proof that Link's sword-unsheathing animation is hard if not impossible to do in real life. The games use workarounds like having the sword clip through the scabbard, or by shrinking the blade for a split second.

That same sword could shoot a projectile when Link is at full health

>>723285805
>5'6
?
>elf
?
>longsword
lol no

>>723286393
youre right, I just loaded it up to check.

>>723286256
Skallagrim is still around, though his views are also in the toilet, and incidentally he also got in a bike crash that fucked up and already bad shoulder.

incredible, i hate this gay earth.

Reminder that Hyrule Warriors is a real Zelda game.

>>723284842
This was written by a lefthanded anon, every single person that whinges about this is always left handed, and you can see why in picrel.
You just have to have everything catered to your disability because you dont actually have a personality.

>>723284181 (OP)
It's not impossible if the scabbard has a notch in the side to allow the blade in and out. Just make the pommel snugly fit in a sort of grip lock against the top of the scabbard and it'd work.

>>723284181 (OP)
where this "sword on the back" thing even came from?

>>723288092
I'm righthanded, I just have standards in quality and canon.

>>723284181 (OP)
its not impossible to sheath/unsheath a sword of the master sword's length if its on your back; this is a complete myth that anyone who has ever tried to do it with can tell you

the sheath isnt stuck in that one diagonal position, it has some wiggle to the sides specifically to allow the sword to be drawn

>>723288191
historically speaking, fighters would wear weapons at their hips during battles so they can be easily drawn or stowed
but during long marches and traveling (which is what an army would be doing 95% of the time), weapons are easier to carry while strapped to your back, since it centers the weight of the weapon. thus, the imagery of the weapon on back was born

>>723288227
>standards in quality and canon
...and you play zelda?

>>723288414
Not since he became right handed.
