Thread 725073051

Anyone else have botw fatigue?

Yeah and I say that as someone that like BotW, about half-way through TotK I started to feel like I was just done with the setting entirely and have no interest in this game. Seriously hope that the next game is at the very least a major visual departure.

>>725073051 (OP)
0/10, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME
why?
they had the opportunity to make a reimagined boss fight for twinrova and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WITH IT

No I find the Botw lore and universe more interesting that everything that came before in Zelda

>>725073051 (OP)
No I love BotW and TotK dearly but I do have hyrule warriors fatigue. This should have been Mario Warriors but they just have to have their yearly Zelda game

Faggot game

>>725073051 (OP)
I have hyrule fatigue period. You can't go on an adventure in the same place 10 times.

>>725073051 (OP)
TOTK had dogshit story, lore and characters idk who even wants this.

>>725075635
trans women and women of color

mineru sex

>>725073051 (OP)
No. I have lorefaggot fatigue.

>>725073401
I'm pretty sure they confirmed this is the last thing they're doing with that setting.

there's a full playthrough out on youtube, where's the full roster?

>>725073051 (OP)
I wouldn't call it fatigue, but it's been 8 years; a new Zelda game wouldn't be amiss.

>>725075808
revisiting the alien invasion concept and setting the game in the future would be too kino.

>they rehashed the "technology bad" motif from BotW/AoC
Really?

construct link and calamo are kino thoubeit

>>725074205
Yeah this is where they lost the last of my good faith.

>hey guys, remember those funny witches from back in the day, and how we teased them in the last game?
>well fuck you

What killed the hype?

>>725078137
For the TotK musou?
The BotW musou was shit.
Also TotK was just okay.

>there's a character named Quino
Absolute QUINO.

>>725073051 (OP)
I had it before BOTW even came out.
some of the ugliest, low quality graphics the series has ever had.

>they removed Ganondorf's infamously bad smile
0/10

>>725078137
TotK.

TotK fumbled the ball and foundation that BotW built. AoC wasn't my cup of tea, but I get why they did it. AoL however was unnecessary.
They're gonna do BotW3, but it'll be TotK2, and they'll do it 'right'. Sales matter more than whatever Aonuma said or stated.

>>725079557
why does he look gender questionable in the bottom pic.

>>725079557
Sovl
Sovlless
and Svch

>game doesnt have Link at all
its garbage

>>725073051 (OP)
Yes BOTW started off good with all the nostalgia bait, enjoyed the little tutorial area, basically left and immediately stumbled along to the castle, putzed around there getting everything I could at low level and it was the high point of the game, closest thing to a dungeon. After that I did the water guardian which was okay.
Beyond that I felt it becoming a slog, all the other guardians were samey and boring, temple puzzles got old fast just different flavors of rolling a ball around or moving something with magnetism, kurok puzzles were even worse everything started to feel the same. Only thing to really collect was different outfits very few of which I cared about or found useful.
Slogged my way to the end and beat it.
Never had a desire to replay or play the sequel and i've basically beat every other zelda multiple times.
Definitely feeling the open world slop fatigue now.

>>725073401
I unironically agree. I explored most of the upper and lower lever, but last I left off I got to just before the spirit temple and fell off it. Still have yet to go back and finish it. I will say all the friggin costumes are pretty cool.

>>725073051 (OP)
I like the game but I dont care about the plot really im just here for musou slop gameplay

>>725073051 (OP)
At this point I unironically want a traditional zelda game. I miss dungeon crawling and solving puzzles.

>>725081928
It has this guy, who is not Link, but if he were, he would be the best Link ever.
And for anyone wondering what this construct is and what it has to do with Link:

Its core is the piece of the Master Sword that sliced Ganondorf's cheek at the opening of TOTK and wound up getting sent back in time with Zelda. Originally it was a weapon that went rogue and wiped out the Zonai, but the spirit of the sword turned it into a copy of Link, making him a good boy.

>>725082361
yeah its not link... it's fi.

whatever

>>725082482
no it's better, it's the pure will to beat the shit out of ganon.

>>725082361
Why don't he look like Fi then? Has Nintendo completely forgotten about her?

>>725082651
it literally plays fi's theme in the first second of the game.

I just wanna fuck Purah

>>725081928
I don't think his name is even mentioned once.

>>725082872
No can do. The best we have is an ugly furry version of her.

How the fuck does NO ONE actually know the character roster? Insane that Nintendo has revealed literally nothing about the game before launch. How did they keep everything under wraps?

so were there any new zonai shown besides rauru and mineru?

>>725083089
She was playable in AoC so I don't really mind and had her best design

>the Zonai Constructs were sealed away in the Depths because they were heckin' bad just like the Sheikah Guardians
TOTK really is just a rehash of BOTW in every way possible.

>>725083219
history repeating itself is the entire identity of zelda lore.

>>725082997
False

>>725081928
That isn't necessarily a bad thing, for all the problems this game has, not having Link isn't one of them.

5 more minutes lads.

>>725073051 (OP)
Too bad. BotW made obscene amounts of money, and that's all that Nintendo cares about. You've proven you'll paypig no matter what they do, so they're gonna make every single game in every series open world slop to court BotW normalfags. You are never getting a pre-BotW Zelda game again.

Botw era Zelda character design is just fucking boring.

>>725084085
>buy two decent zelda games
>"you're never getting a non-botw game!!!!
>also buy echoes of wisdom, a non-botw game

i can't tell if admire how retarded you are or pity you.

>>725073051 (OP)
i despise nintendo and i have tendie fatique

>>725073051 (OP)
>botw fatigue
There is only one BOTW, how could you be fatigued? I picked it up today for 60 bucks from Walmart (PROTIP: The waljew sells Nintendo firstpart games for 10 bucks off, same for Costjew) today. Guess they put it out on accident early. It is great! It isn't a Zelda game, it is just a fan Musou game and I haven't played one in over 10 years so it is a refreshing turn-your-brain-off game. Pretty comfy way to kill time at work.

>the robot is a big surprise character we dont want to ruin the mystery
>literally the opening cutscene is a glowing chunk of metal beeping like Fi getting into the robot

Most people wouldn't have BoTW fatigue if Nintendo hadn't completely botched ToTK and AOC to the point of irreparability.

People are still clamoring for pipe-dream scenarios like a third Hero of Time game, a proper sequel to TP or WW, a return to classic, original 2D games with Link as the MC DECADES, yet most are already fed up with the BoTW era and want to move on as quickly as possible. That says a lot about the current state of the IP.

>>725075635
>TOTK had dogshit story
What zelda game had a good story? They are all extremely bare bones

>>725081571
He looks more boyish in the bottom pic id say the top one is more questionable, but link has been a pretty guy pretty much since oot

>>725083158
She wasn't really playable. You play as Robbie and Purah tags along behind him to summon mini-Divine Beasts for their special attacks.

>>725084903
NTA but fuck off
Link's Awakenibg,Windwaker, Majora's Mask & Ocarina of Time

>>725084363
>there is only one botw
I mean there's totk, aoc and now aoi which are all botw expansions/musuo games

>>725084827
>Most people wouldn't have BoTW fatigue if Nintendo hadn't completely botched ToTK and AOC to the point of irreparability.
No? People wouldn't have BotW fatigue if other Nintendo IPs weren't doing open world or attempting to have open world mechanics. Or Aonuma flat-out admitting that he doesn't give a shit about the lore and just want gameplay gimmicks despite Zelda was being promoted as that one series with rich deep lore and interesting storytelling.

>>725085149
I sware nintendo fans dont play other games or even interact with other forms of media, majoras mask is the only one there that even has an argument for having a good story

>>725085142
It was good enough for me. Getting to run around as Robbie was cool too

>>725082361
So… it’s Fi?

Also, why would the Master Sword genocide the Zonai? I thought the sword was only capable of killing and expelling evil or violent beings? If so, doesn’t this information alone imply that the ancient Zonai were perhaps, not the benevolent alien overlords that Rauru and Mineru assumed they were?

They must’ve been fucking BAD news for Hyrule if it schizo’d to the point that exteriminated them all.

>>725085274
What makes TOTK's story so great?

>>725085149
>all Zelda games with Koizumi at the helm
He is truly one of a kind.

>>725085360
I wasn't defending totk my point was just that zelda never had a note worthy story. i haven't even finished playing totk so I won't speak on it

>>725084827
To me, it's the direction of the world building and storytelling that gave me BotW fatigue. Zelda is so much more than the gameplay. People bitched about the Zelda companions and tropey archetypes as its narrative functions but I actually give a shit about those aspects in the franchise. The gameplay for BotW was never the problem. It's the lack of everything else from traditional Zelda that people need to direct their attention towards. Age of Imprisonment really made me appreciate just how much I liked the tropey ass storytelling of Zelda.

>>725085676
Retard

>>725086175
>ad hominem
It would be cool if we could actually discuss

>>725082361
You guys see a new character.
I see links animations applied to a cheap re-skin.

>Zonai shrines are seals that prevent the land from being corrupted

Were the sheikah shrines anything other than a training thing?

>calamity ganon was killed 5 years ago but hyrule is still a shithole
What the fuck were they thinking?

>>725082482
>>725082651
>>725085358
>drr fi
God, please don't let this lead to trannies giving a robot link she/her pronouns...

game is officially out in NA and no one is playing...

it truly did flop

>>725087124
They weren't. They didn't give a fuck about anything but their stupid little building mechanic nobody else asked for.
Hopefully they realized they've fucked up in everything but sales and improve upon the next title. Doubt they will though.

>>725082361
>fi finally gets a sword spirit battle form
>she larps as link since he's her master and hylia's chosen hero

Not mad I think it's cute

considering botw is the 24th best selling game of all time, no

So, why did Fi go halocaust-mode on all of the ancient Zonai?

>>725084903
The N64 games and Link's Awakening were good stories.

>>725088021
I have to wagecage tomorrow man.

>>725088357
Fi hates furries

>>725088021
I'm playing it now

My biggest take away so far is that the English VA for Mineru is horrendously bad

>>725091375
They should never have started using VA for Zelda

>>725091513
No, Nintendo's just too cheap to hire competent VA's and a solid casting/voice director.

>>725083219
So fucking retarded, man
The half ass "it's a sequel but it's not a sequel, it's an alternate reality.
How the hell did OoT/MM pull off the time travel plot device without making the franchise with it?
TotK is fucking retarded. Didn't SS time travel too?
I can't wait until this time travel as a pillar of a story fucks off forever. They keep trying to remake that part of OoT and fucking it up

Mineru and Zelda being nerds together is really cute

>mineru's sprint is riding a zonai wheel side saddle
SOVL

I hesitate to buy it because I'm obsessed with licensed musou games (spent countless hours on HW (3ds and switch edition), dragon quest heroes, fire emblem warrior, PW3...etc

Also currently playing three hopes and age of calamity, a little fun but inferior to their previous iteration so far (Three hopes's MC is very fun to play but the other characters are quite boring, unless I missed out the fun ones but too many clones IMO).

Is the new one worth buying ?

>ganon doesnt use his evil magic to painfully turn his 2 servants into twinerva

>ganon kills all these people you dont care about and you dont see offscreen and you should feel sad somehow

did anyone else think after sonia died that zelda would become her own great great great x 10 thousand years grandmother? she was getting pretty close with rauru

>>725082361
>>725082482
>>725082651
>>725085358

It's not Fi.
In Skyward Sword Fi mentions to Link that the MasterSword records information from the user (Link) as a way of "remembering" the hero (spirit of the hero) - so the sword continues to be best matched with the person who carries the spirit of the hero through history.
This construct is Fi imprinting this data of "Spirit of the Hero", it's literally an artificial pseudo Link made by Fi, not Fi herself.


>>725088357
The ancient construct was operated by a different programming before, Fi basically rewrote the programming with her data of Link. She had nothing to do with the zonai genocide.

>>725092431
She cant really run with those tiny fucking legs. When she's sitting in her chair you can see she's on her tippy toes so her feet can touch the ground.

>>725088357
She didn't appreciate the dogs trying to overwrite Hylia's history.

One day in the future I will likely play this.
A shame how nothing tops the final release of the og hyrule warrior.

>>725073051 (OP)
the last game was like 3 years ago so no

>>725073051 (OP)
i have shittendo libtard and kike fatigue
can't wait for the world to turn 99.99% shitskin 0.1% kike where women fags and troons are mercilessly beaten

>>725092641
So it's just a random construct utilizing Fi's memory bank, pretty much.
That's fucking lame DESU. Man, modern Nintendo is so chickenshit, always ruining cool story concepts and ideas by playing it safe.

>>725073051 (OP)
Yeah
It's not an interesting enough story to tell so many times

I have anti BotW farigue

>>725073051 (OP)
i have nortubel fatigue

Ocarina of Time was always overrated.

>>725097249
nah

>focus the camera on the gross goat feet
>this is very important

Bruh it's literally just Age of Calamity DLC with a worse roster
I don't know what I expected
KT's first AAA musou my ass

>>725073051 (OP)
Ocarina of Time and its clones (MM,WW and TP) were a better 10 years of Zelda than these past 10 years . (BOTW , TotK, HW AoC and HW AoI)

Not to mention the 2D games:
>Minish Cap and Four Swords Adventures vs Echoes of Wisdom


Nintendo just move on already, this era sucks.

>>725097792
Inconvenient trvke

>20 characters in total
>10 are main story
>9 literally whos are recruited via side missions
>only Ganondorf is a postgame unlock

Can't believe they've fumbled this so hard

>>725097780
>the sequel to the spinoff based on the sequel of the main game that felt like overpriced dlc to the first game, also feels like overpriced dlc to the spinoff of the first game.
Holy tongue twister.

nah, awaiting my vopy today

>>725098351
>Sonia not playable
WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT? I don't care if she canonically dies, just lock her out until post game once she kicks the bucket.

>>725098560
Probably so they have dlc.

>>725082361
Probably ends up turning into this guy, or this guy ends up turning into it.

>>725098560
Blame the retards that cried about the fanfiction part of Age of Calamity. Want canon? Here's your canon. The game ends when everyone dies the end. Isn't that what everyone asked for?

>>725099047
>The game ends when everyone dies the end. Isn't that what everyone asked for?
Nta but he's not complaining about that, that part is actually fine. The problem is that using the excuse of a character dying mid way through the game to not make them playable is stupid. Especially when that character already has all the movesets and animations.

>>725098560
There will obviously be DLC right? They have to milk this shit one last time

DW: Origins inspired Hyrule Warriors but in an original time period where Link is a General and the "temples" are actually battlefields where you have direct your troops to solve puzzles kinda like Pikmin or Undead Knights.

>>725099186
It's the same idea though. Obviously she dies in the middle of the story so they don't bother letting you play like her. No point in giving her the Aerith treatment.

The only good part is the Zelink moment where zelda starts yapping about how cool link is, assuming the construct is him, but is too shy to approach him until that japanese trope of another character pushing them towards their crush happens with her then she looks dissapointed seeing its not link

Construct Link is nothing more than a dildo shaped Link for Zelda. One she loved so much she probably recreated him in the present to live out her sexual fantasy of getting double penetrated by Link and construct Link.

>switch 2 version of totk adds of new notes from Zelda at landmarks
>ancient stump she talks about how they found an ancient spear in the tree
>first mission with the robot and the korok they save the gerudo sage and the korok demands a broken spear as the reward that he will use to hold him up when he takes root and becomes a tree

I’ve been saying it since 2017 but the art style in BoTW is just gross

that reminds me. what's the fps for this game? i assume 30?

>>725101829
60 fps with small dips in single player 30 in split screen

>>725101829
60fps

>>725073401
Well, unlike other Zelda titles, these 2 and the musou games have REALLY explored the story and shit. I don't think there is anything else we could DO with the setting. S2 versions are the best we could get for the games in general and despite them being the same map, there is a lot to explore overall.

Remember, in 2027, Switch and BotW as a setting turn TEN YEARS OLD.

>>725085274
That's because MM has a STORY and a world that felt more lived in DESPITE BEING REUSED CHARACTERS FROM A GAME RELEASED TWO YEARS PRIOR!

I only played half of BoTW (boring open world with filler slop) and didn't touch TotK. Who the fuck are all these furfag characters and what's with all of this dialogue and story? Fucking nu-LoZ was a mistake.

>>725101884
>>725101932
wow. impressive. that's what I get for underestimating the switch 2 a bit. They got to update age of calamity man

What a fucking disappointment. Only 20 playable characters? Fuck you koei

>>725098351
Why are you lying?
There's 28 characters, and Sonia becomes playable in the postgame.

Anyone else have /v/ snoyfaggot fatigue?

>>725075734
>flat chested dogwife
yes, but make her shorter.

>>725078515
botw musou was better than the first Hyrule warriors, in every way
>but it had less conten-
it was better in gameplay, you didnt even 100% HW so it doesnt matter

>>725104634
Oh yeah? Have you seen any footage of playable Sonia or the other SEVEN very well hidden playable postgame characters? No? That's because it doesn't exist.
There are 28 character bio entries in total, including Sonia and Lenalia, neither of which are playable.

>>725104820
shit opinion

>>725104634
Dipshit, mind showing proof before calling anyone else liars?

>>725104702
Nope just nintenjeet cultist fatigue

>>725099017
Nope. He dies fighting a second evil genocide bot like he used to be, and because the Master Sword shard (the only thing keeping him a good guy) was destroyed with him, his friends had to destroy all proof that he ever existed so no one can reverse-engineer another genocide bot from him.

>>725104830
Sonia might not be playable but she's still layable.

Adventure mode is NEVER returning. Lazy bastards

>>725085360
What makes it bad?

I don't play musou slop

>>725102010
Same for TotK

I'm actually the opposite right now
Was sick of it before and haven't played in a few years
Now I'm finally finishing age of calamity and it's kino

>>725073051 (OP)
It's been an entire decade of this dogshit. meanwhile we had several different Zelda games between 96 and 06

I got BOTW fatigue about halfway through TOTK

>>725073051 (OP)
It's not so much fatigue as it is not enough reasons to buy it. I got Mario Kart World (and the Switch 2) because it brought back the OG Wario Stadium. I got Donkey Kong Bananza because Donkey Kong has a super mode and I don't have to worry about Diddy Kong returning in Super Smash bros for Switch 2. I got Pokemon Legends ZA because Raichu is getting megas. I plan on getting Kirby Air Riders because I can play as Lolo & Lala. I plan on getting Mario Tennis Fever because it has Baby Waluigi. Playable male Zoras isn't a good enough reason for me to buy Age of imprisonment. I can't make Zelda hot? I cant make Link look like Link? None of the playable Ritos are female.

>>725082361
He ain't even Link? I take it back, this ain't a mid Switch 2 exclusive. It's a bad one.

>>725075734
Best thing about TotK and I can get it for free by going to any art/porn website. Also I guess she’s in Animal Crossing, but I dunno if I really wanna devote more hours to the very mid New Horizons just to dress Mineru up like a hooker and pose her in a sex dungeon in one of the dozen or dollhouse modes that game gives you.

>>725098351
>>20 characters in total
Not even as much as the first HW rumao

I enjoyed BotW and even kind of the first Musou game but TotK bored me to tears and I have zero interest in this new game. They milked the BotW timeline bone dry.

>The Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment soundtrack was composed by Monaca.
>Music: Keiichi Okabe, Ryuichi Takada, Kuniyuki Takahashi, Oliver Good, Keita Inoue, Taichi Joraku

That's crazy, hiring Monaca for mid corporate slop

>>725108729
>>725075734
so does mineru have a big role in the story or she is just on the side behind rauru in most scenes?

>>725113459
Latter. Gotta shill the new ocs.

The explanation for the mysterious contucts origin is so contrived. I'm still reeling from how lame it is.

>>725108881
Nobody remembers HW1 launching with 13 characters

>>725114619
I do, but it had Midna who’s worth more by herself than all the glup shittos in Age of Imprisonment.

>>725073051 (OP)
8 years of BotW is killing me, really hope the next game has a different style, because I am really fucking tired of this one

>>725114770

It dosent help the wait for games is just getting longer and longer

>>725114778
>assuming they'll be releasing another mainline zelda in 4 more years

>>725073051 (OP)
No. I only beat that game once. I believe that's enough.

>>725114891
Also doesn’t help that the similar overuse of the Wind Waker style was still used to make different stories about different Hyrules. This style has been used to slap additions on to the same 2017 story for nearly a decade.

>>725073051 (OP)
I've had it since about a week after BotW came out 8 years ago. It was immediately the shittiest and most boring Zelda game and Zelda universe they have ever done. I have never liked it. It's nauseating that we are still stuck with it three games later.

>>725091375
Zelda’s VA sounds like her voice is going to give out at any moment. No idea why they hired a 40 year old woman to play a teenage girl.

>Sky islands are given no explanation and only house a few challenges.
Why are nintendo so lame?

>>725082361

>Rauru knows Ganondorf is evil and is waiting for a chance to kill him and everyone he loves
>Proceeds to let him stay at his castle for months
>Proceeds to willingly walk into a trap which ends up killing his wife because he wasn't present

This age of Hyrule and their dumb as fuck goat king and goat fucker queen deserved to be wiped out

>>725114778
Even if they change the art style and aesthetics, the rot is so much deeper than that. The gameplay is still going to be the same boring garbage in an empty open world with weapons that break every two seconds and no meaningful treasures to find. It's still going to be melodramatic anime shit with voice acting.

Zelda is a dead franchise, there's no going back to the good games from this. Nintendo will continue to make it this way.

>>725078137
anyone that cares about this genre played origins earlier this year and origins was way better.

>>725115750
Gameplay wise, absolutely. But a great deal is lost in being stuck to playing one character, and the story is full of bizarre homosexual romance.

>>She's barely in it
fuck, really?
there goes my interest I guess

>>725115623
Mineru unironically should have been the one founding the Hyrule royal bloodline because she's not retarded. Rauru basically just went "my dick needs Hylian pussy" and then proceeded to act like a total retard.

>>725115830
>and the story is full of bizarre homosexual romance.
sadly par for the course recently, the fujos REALLY love games like sengoku basara, samurai warriors, and dynasty warriors. samurai warriors 4 let you remove women so the fujos wouldn't riot about having to see a woman in their game.

>>725115962
She's technically in a lot of cutscenes, but the game doesn't explore her character much at all outside of what's already been established and she largely just acts as a prop around Rauru. In fact from what I remember almost ALL of her dialogue is just talking to Rauru to convince him about things. My disappointment is immeasurable.

>>725115470
>some autistic genderspecial somehow has the most comprehensive take down of TotK

The aesthetic has overstayed its welcome. And Botw zelda is BORING AS SHIT. Goatman is stupid. People do not actually like the lore. They merely tolerate it.
I don't know what retard thought it was a good idea to shove botw zelda and the goat down people's throats to the point of not even including link on the cover, but I can assure you it was a poor business decision.

I liked and appreciated TOTK
I didn't ask for this and not worth new hardware. I was never really "hyped" for it.

>>725115976
Unironically right. Even in the new game Rauru is shown to act like an impulsive and suspicious retard while Mineru constantly acts as his "guiding hand" that's actually making any even remotely intelligent decision. Mineru should have been getting dicked by a Hylian.

>>725092870
The only Hyrule Warriors game I need. It was so much better these BotW ones. I loved how it blended different Zelda timelines into one story.

>ONLY nintendo switch 2, not switch 1

Fucking hell where the FUCK is the switch 2 emulator already

That's way too kino for modern Zelda.

If their is no 100% award then I'm gonna turn into the joker...

>>725115623
Man, they have to pull the absolute worse detail from OoT to add it to Rauru, huh?
That just settles it.
These motherfuckers (Modern Nintendo) want their own OoT era Zelda so fucking bad but they can't hack it for more than 1 and a half games

Fuck man...theirs like 2 clones for each of the champions and no playable Ganondorf...what the fuck man that's such a let down.

>>725118302
They clearly just rushed this out the door to pad Switch 2s first year.

>>725116814
Also they swing with Sidon and Yona and Purah joins in on it.

>>725108665
Bullshit. You can't just retire a member of the perfect attendance 8. It's one thing to gaslight yourself into thinking Mega Man is somehow never coming back, but the Legend of Zelda franchise doesn't have 100 titles yet, dose it?

>>725116889
Oh I see what you mean now. They're trying to make him from being iconic to looking like a character from anything. I still think that's bullshit. You can get Links traditional look in botw, aoc, and totk. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

>>725117417
Nintendo consoles have run on very similar architecture since the Gamecube, we just don't have one for the Switch 2 yet because they went very hard on protection from datamining the thing.

The Switch 1 hacking scene and people playing BotW in better fidelity and framerate so early spooked Nintendo. We may not see a new scene for a while now.

>>725104971
So “le ancient hero of a brajillion years ago” wasn’t even relevant? Wonderful, fan-fucking-tastic.

>>725117036
Even King Rhoam was a better leader than him.

>>725119556
Ancient Zonai are ancient even to Rauru's time. It's all hack fraudery.

>>725119441
>Nintendo consoles have run on very similar architecture since the Gamecube, we just don't have one for the Switch 2 yet because they went very hard on protection from datamining the thing.
What the hell are you talking about?
The original Switch is literally a repurposed Nvidia Shield and Switch 2 is a newer iteration on that ARM based architecture. It is quite literally completely different to a GameCube or any other system they've developed themselves

>>725119763
If the constructs are the reason for the destruction of the Zonai, but that happened so long ago that even Rauru and Mineru aren't aware of them until their discovery, how did the Zonai numbers just continue to diminish until it was just the two of them left from a single mother/father? Did the Zonai just go "well shit those constructs sure killed a lot of us, guess we'll just let our numbers dwindle to oblivion over the course of thousands of years now." It's a complete non-answer.

>>725119985
The Hylians hunted the Zonai to extinction.

I guess the sheika just...dosent exist. What lazy writers. Don't bother calling it a sequel if you're not even going to try.

>>725119845
My knowledge is very outdated, I made heavy assumptions past the Wii U era. Thanks for teaching me something.

>>725120072
>they hunted the beings they revered as gods to extinction
Are they legitimately just doing the “any lore dropped previous to this entry that contradicts this was just a cleverly constructed lie” bullshit? Or are you just shitposting?

>>725120306
I think he's just shitposting, I watched all the cutscenes from the game and don't remember that at all. They just kind of handwave the fact that they've declined to two members since then as though the constructs explain it by themselves even though it happened thousands of years prior to Rauru or Mineru being born.

How's the content on this game? I know the first game had a bazillion content but for someone just getting into the Musou genre, how's this game? Is it just a story campaign or are there some post game challenges/unlocks?

>>725120306
>Or are you just shitposting?
I crave exotic game meat. Doesn’t a Zonai steak sound delicious?

>>725115976
Mineru's the older sibling to boot, she technically should have been the legal heir to the Zonai line unless she just passed that onto Rauru. I'd say the Zonai might have a male preference for hereditary customs but there's nothing in the games suggesting that.

>>725120451
So it’s just typical J. J. Abrams lazy, shortsighted writing at play then?

>the glorified ROM hack of BotW made no sense
>the glorified ROM hack of AoC also makes no sense
Color me surprised.

>>725120603
Yeah pretty much. There's no reason to just accept "Oh yes this thing happened in ancient history, that explains how they became the last of their kind" without at least explaining that Zonai struggle to reproduce, faced some kind of disease, were victims of war, were too spread out to maintain viable gene pools, etc.

>>725120534
Bad. No post-game unlocks, no costumes, unsure if there is 100% completion reward but I doubt it.

>>725120864
AoC didn't really have costumes either besides Link and Zelda

>>725120152
It's pretty obvious that the sheikah don't become relevant until after Rauru and Mineru die because the two of them are obsessed with hiding the technology so there cant be another world ending technological apocalypse. Once they are gone the hylians got to do whatever the fuck they wanted to study the tech and nobody could stop them.

Early hylians have a closed eye symbol painted on because Rauru and Mineru have a third closed eye. The Sheikah have the same symbol but the eye is open

>>725073051 (OP)
I'm probably going to get the game for Christmas I know it's out now so I feel it's been long enough that people would be able to answer this question is this Canon on like the last Zelda warriors games?Is there anything Nintendo did last moment that makes this not canon to be in a prequel story to tears of the Kingdom? I don't want any kind of other spoilers I just want to know that.

>>725120864
Damn that sucks, I guerra I'll skip it and see if I can find the first one for sale of something, I don't really care about muh epic lore

>>725120306
Hylia banished the Zonai from their home in the sky because they descended to the surface and larped as gods to the Hylians.

>>725121067
They made sure it is canonical as possible. They recreate the totk flashback cutscenes and expand them, they explain why there are things that weren't in totk are not there, and the Zelda notes they added in the switch 2 version of totk directly connects to a new character

>>725122449
Yeah… so much for his Forest, it didn’t even survive to BotW.

Man...years of development on such a nothing burger of a game. Thank fuck I pirated.

I just realised that I've got my Tears of the Kingdom and Age of Calamity save files on my old, old Switch. And thus haven't transferred them over to my Switch2.
If I transfer the save files over now, do I still get the bonus weapons? Or do I need to have the save files on the system when I start the game? Because then I'd have to restart.

A shame that my oldest Switch is in another city at the moment.

>>725122931
I don’t see why not. This isn’t like the Champion’s Ballad picture in TotK.

>>725122931
You get a generic weapon for one of the no-name hylians. This game has no soul.

>>725073401
I completed all the shrines in BOTW and was completely burnt out by the end of it. That feeling returned immediately when I started playing TOTK and the map was the same. There wasn't a single moment of wonder or joy playing TOTK. I have zero desire to play either game ever again and couldn't care less if they release yet another game set in that world.

>>725124863
What we're they doing for the 6 years making this game? It is NOT a sequel it's a re-imagining.

>>725125318
patenting physics mechanics that existed 20 years ago

Does the Master Sword exist in TOTK’s past?

>>725127826
No. Nintendo dosen't give a fuck about their timeline though so theirs no mention of the godess sword.

>>725073051 (OP)
I just don't care about dynasty warriors games. BotW isn't the problem.

>>725073051 (OP)
I don't, but I also don't trust them enough after Age of Calamity to make a good Zelda Musou again.

>>725074221
Until TotK ruined and retconned all that.

>>725066072
>>725065285
You can’t enjoy this part of the story “holistically” because TotK and AoI don’t even properly connect with BotW, and AoC was just “what-if” stuff that wasted Astor as a character.

>>725075683
>I have no real argument so I resort to ad hominem and bigotry

>>725078515
TotK was less than okay, it was a retconny mess: https://youtu.be/4unKwPQMoOA?si=IGH8pmgVXQvfDKg9

So what's the /v/erdict?

>>725122449
TOTK’s story is so shit that this game having divergence would actually be welcomed… So of course it won't happen and it'll be strictly canon (if you can even call the events of TotK that)

This game would've been based if it used the AOC timeline and was allowed full creativity. Now we are stuck with the shitty TOTK version of this story and Zelda where now, they just have to fudge and make shit up to kind of sorta line up with the terrible memories. You could've had Link, Zelda and all of the champions go back in time with new mechanics, but instead, we have the bland ancient ages and the two fuck up royals nobody likes who intrude in on Link and Zelda’s romance.

AoI is turning out to be another mess like AoC.

After this, can we finally admit that the BoTW era was disastrous for the series in everything but goy-consoomer sales? I can't see Nintendo retaining this momentum if they don't actually try with the next mainline title; the open-world AAA trend is already dying out amongst normies as is.

>>725131078
Just put TotK out of it’s misery already and just pretend it never happened and give us a proper BotW sequel that doesn’t contradict anything.

>>725131170
It's that bad huh?

>>725131170
>and give us a proper BotW sequel that doesn’t contradict anything.
No, fuck you. Get us out of this fucking BotW shit already. It's been a fucking decade, I don't want another fucking game set in this same shitty fucking universe anymore.

>>725131170
Nah, they need to memory hole the entire era and move on. Maybe they can bring it back with a remake that fixes its core issues, but that won't happen until another 15 years at the very least.

>>725073051 (OP)
Since about March 10th, 2017.

The story can't be that bad right? It can't go lower than Totk

>>725073051 (OP)
About 5-10 hours after starting BotW and realizing what it actually was, yes.

>>725075734
based

Is the gameplay good at least? How is it compared to Aoc?

>>725075750
Even the gameplay isn't good good anymore. It's all tedious, copy-paste Ubisoft bullshit.

>can’t talk about the game normally because botw derangement syndrome has an iron grip on the board
that’s too bad

>>725131078
If you liked Aoc you will like this gameplay wise. The mysterious contruct/Calamo stuff is good, seeing the other characters in cutscenes is fun but there are way too many clone characters.

>>725085187
>MM team has like a year or so and a low budget to get out an OoT sequel
>"SCREW YOU KOIZUMI HOW DARE YOU MAKE UNIQUE WEIRD THING AND THINK OUTSIDE BOX WITH EXTREMELY STRICT DEVELOPMENT TIME AND MONEY NEVER TOUCH ZELDA AGAIN"
> Aonuma was told "no" for the extremely cartoony art style he wanted for WW, he was a dick and snuck it in anyway behind Miyamoto's back until it couldn't be undone, turned out a Zelda game with a troubled development that failed to generate good sales, and proceeded to jam this same artstyle down people's throats for a heckton of games.
>"yes this is the guy that should be in charge of the series"
Miyamoto putting Aonuma in charge of the Zelda series is probably the worst thing he's done in the long run for Nintendo.

>put Koizumi, the guy who loves stories, in charge of mario
>put Aonuma, the guy who just wants to run and jump in charge of zelda
>dedicate the rest of your career to pikmin
Miyamoto was truly a “genius”.

Never forget that he's also the one that prevented Four Swords Adventures from connecting oot with alttp, which is what led to the downfall timeline nonsense.

>>725131170
>give us a proper BotW sequel
How about give us an entirely new Zelda game instead of the same shitty world that’s been rehashed FOUR times if you count the musous.

>>725082361
It would've been way cooler if it was actually a previous Link who was soul-bound to Fi through the sword, or something like that. A second Hero's Shade case with a different link, maybe SS Link or something along the lines of that. Or the Ancient Hero alluded to in BoTW and ToTK.

That's too cool and risky for modern-day Nintendo though. Instead it has to be all of this lame tech-related crap that shits on previous franchise lore, including BoTW's own lore.

>"there will be no further content/dlc for TOTK"
>"Reason?"
>"we have fully explored our ideas and concepts for this world."
What a bunch of fucking hacks.

>>725132145
Japanese businessmen have been legally required to be retarded since 1995. Please understand.

>>725132215
Not even risky, their just too lame to think of that aswell as being so averse to sequels it's bafiling. It's a travesty that such a cool world and concept like sky islands and zonai is wasted on a creativly incompentent team.

>>725085157
TotK can’t really be called an “expansion” with how much it ignores BotW’s continuity.

>>725132297
I think it's more along the lines that they realized they massively fucked-up with this era and want to move on from it as quickly as possible. They kind of have to, now that they're branching out with multimedia cross-branding with the upcoming movie and theme park deal. They really can't afford to fuck up like this again.

>>725132215
>a previous Link who was soul-bound to Fi through the sword
gay lol

>>725131086
>TOTK’s story is so shit that this game having divergence would actually be welcomed… So of course it won't happen and it'll be strictly canon (if you can even call the events of TotK that)
it is actually a complete monkey's paw from people (westerners, I assume Japanese players did not give a single fuck) upset that AoC was non-canon fanfiction; just a total over course correction in response to that

>>725132297
no doubt youd be pissing and moaning if it did have dlc too

>>725132775
No I wouldnt actually. I wanted a layered expansive sky world to explore and all I got was 16 puzzles. Dlc to expand the sky and make it what it was suppose to be would welcome.

There's honestly more to be done with the setting. Flood the depths and add more tunnels and networks, new gimmick being a submarine. Please Nintendo, one more time revisit this rendition of Hyrule. Botw & Totk was not enough.

>>725133013
If they do, it HAS to take place in a different land. Most people won't buy the same open-world map a third time in a row.

>>725133013
The depths was gay. I would have rather the sky was twice as tall and their more islands layered ontop of each other. More islands you can actually explore like the great sky island and dragon island.

>>725132726
So you think it being a random construct that randomly went nutso due to vague "reasons" from the Master Sword/Fi - is actually better excuse?

How is the game?

>>725133390
no i think fi shouldnt exist

>>725133197
It will not feel the same, and the returning aspects will elevate the experience more than a completely new location ever could. We can go deeper, we can use a submarine.

New artsyle and don't make link a transcoded 5'4 twink. He looked perfect in twilight princess.

Miss him yet?

>>725133647
Yeah, it won't happen. Nintendo is done done with this era for some time, Aonuma said it himself.
>>725133013
>Please Nintendo, one more time revisit this rendition of Hyrule. Botw & Totk was not enough.
Welcome to the Zelda series, BoTWbab. This is how Nintendo manages it. MM, TP, WW, SS, LA and ALBW never got the proper sequels they deserved either. Nintendo is obsessed with "starting fresh" for a new age-range of casuals and kids every single console generation. They're so terrified of sequels that they couldn't even properly connect ToTK to BoTW for this very reason.

>the sky islands were just a backdrop for the on-rails shooter segments
ROFLMAO

>>725133932
Feels bad man

>>725132145
Was Miyamoto cringing at the art style real or fake?
Because I had never seen him interact with Wind Waker at all at the time. May be my bias
With Twilight Princess, he was front and center

>>725133932
Koizumi didn't do much of anything with WW, aside from some side-writing here and there.

>>725131170
Nope.
It's over, it already had more spinoffs and more time dedicated to it than Wind Waker.
This is just Skyward Sword under the hood of it all. What's worse is that the spinoffs were infected with BotW's menu gameplay too and the LA Remake that was desperately wanted had a whiplash so fierce, it might have killed any chance for any other remake
It's time to die.

>>725132215
nah in this case, robot link is cooler

>>725135263
I'm not denying the design and the transformers-inspired moveset isn't cool, because it is. The problem is that his lore is shit and doesn't provide satisfying answers. It's just more added vague bullshit, on-top of already vague bullshit.

The smug Korok and the “I am Groot” Link is the only thing I like about this game.

Why should I play this over PW3, PW4, or Hyrule Warriors (the switch port)

Bros... Quino is kinda cute??

>>725133995
>MM, TP, WW, SS, LA and ALBW
all shit, and ALBW was LTTP2 btw.

>>725137689
>MM and OG LA
>shit

Man you just outright exposed yourself as a BoTWzoomer with that take.

>>725092063
>Didn't SS time travel too?
Yes but barely anyone played that game.

>>725092661
The Korok has even tinier legs and yet he can sprint.

So instead of making ganondorf, twinrova or the evil contruct playable, they make 2 clone characters for each of the races...fuck off. Can't wait to be sold base game content for DLC later.

>>725136272
Me too. Makes me glad it's one of the biggest parts of the game. That and lowkey the literal-whos getting to be heroes, which is all on that pair's end.

>>725139169
The only reason I remember the time travel part at all is Impa.

>>725139943
Apparently the DLC will be free.
>https://x.com/zelda_musou/status/1986357898071638423

>>725140470
Interesting, but I wonder why it's not just part of the base game if it's being released within a week.

>>725140981
A'yup.

the zonai designs were the only good thing to come out of the trashfire that was totk and they'll never make more zonai so this whole subseries can be safely discarded completely

>>725133013
no, please

>>725137832
your beloved games are trash, you will have plenty of time to accept it as the industry marches forward

I guarntee the next zelda release will be a lame compaltion of OOT MM and WW achieved with half assed emulation on a limited time sale. Basically something just as lame as mario's aniversary. You'll be lucky to get a creativly devoid UE5 OOT remake.

>>725142841
>creativly devoid UE5...remake
Nintendo never does this.

>>725142561
Agreed honestly. And they barely even did anything with Mineru despite her being massively breedable. What a waste.

>>725142930
I know I know. It's just the idea I see thrown around for 40th aniversary but if you have an IQ above the double digits, you're fully expecting Nintendo to deliver a miserable, bleak aniversary.

>>725143172
I think the Zelda team is just too big or has a lack of communication. Ideas like the zonai and sky islands are really interesting, rewind mechanic in totk is some of the most impressive game mechanics I've seen that actually work quite well, but then you have to ask how they fucked up the sages powers so bad on totk. Why aren't they on a weapon wheel, why is their a map option their instead? Why are stamina and hearts not hidden across the world creativley instead of being housed lazily in shrines that can easilly be broken? It feels like two seperate teams worked on this game.

>>725143172
It's already been said in this thread but Mineru's lack of development in the original game and then AGAIN in the musou that's supposed to serve as the backstory is such a letdown.

>>725143172
She was the literal only reason I was even remotely considering this slop. It's blatant now that the writers just don't know what they're doing.

>>725101935
>Almost a third of Zelda's entire history is this one shitty ass fanfic setting.

>>725143853
>She was the literal only reason I was even remotely considering this slop.
Same, and now I'm not because I watched the cutscenes and they basically just do nothing with her. TotK is the only mainline Zelda game without a writing credit. It's just a thank you to an outsourced studio.

>>725116496
Which is baffling because I actually tried to watch it and she blatantly has no idea what she's talking about for most of it.

>>725116496
>>725145863
You actually watched that? I could not stand her lisp for more than a few seconds.

>>725146087
Not all of it. I nearly clicked out when she referred to Link and Zelda as a lesbian couple, and eventually skipped around to certain bits. A lot of it is just nitpicking the smallest of issues and trying to make it out like it ruins the game.

>confirmed Sonia and Rauru never had kids
ok.

>>725073051 (OP)
I have anti BotW fatigue

>>725115470
Nah, people were hating on TotK well before she posted her video essay. People just like to reference her content, since she created the most comprehensive video that concisely explained all (and I mean all,) of the game's issues and shortcomings.

>think it's the imprisoning war
>it's actually this prolonged sidequest about not Link vs notDark Link

To think we could've gotten the best zelda musou had canonfags not bitched endlessly about AoC's fanfic plot.

Friendly reminder that BotW just a fluke because, after all, it was made by the same people who have been making every divisive Zelda game

I'll be honest, the best part of TotK were the caves, not the depths but the regular ass cave systems.

>>725143471
No, the problem is that:
>Aonuma truly no longer gives a fuck as long as it sells, and you can just feel it through any journalist interview he's involved in.
>Fujibayashi is far too ambitious for his own good. The vehicle-building mechanic is an excellent idea... on paper. But their Switch 1 hardware could barely handle it, and it's not what the series needed after BoTW success. They should've reserved the building mechanic for a Switch 2 Zelda game, while utilizing all of their effort to refine the flaws, player criticisms and various flaws and issues from BoTW. Instead they bit off way more than they could chew, spending all of their dev time attempting to work around a very experimental building mechanic, on top of an already sparse and experimental open-world foundation. Instead, they poorly implemented a building mechanic literally nobody was asking for, all while doubling down on most of the issues that were holding back BoTW.

>>725073051 (OP)
Yes. It looked like ass, played like ass, had the level design of ass, and writing like ass.

>>725073051 (OP)
I had BOTW fatigue an hour into the game. Haven't touched it, Queers of the Kingdom, or either Warriors game in the setting.

>>725148039
I'll be even more honest, the best part of TOTK was when I stopped playing it

Gotta be honest all this negativity is making me want to play it that much more. They must be doing something right if all the losers on 4chan who rush through every new anticipated game the day it comes out are shitting on it.

>>725149279
I'm probably going to play it if I ever grab a switch 2. But I haven't seen anything for the switch 2 I absolutely must have

>>725149279
I don't think people are really shitting on it.
It's just a continuation of the frustrations caused by TotK's story. AoI is probably a good game and its story is probably ok, but circles back to the issue of people wanting the BotW Hyrule fleshed out and detailed, but not really getting it.

i tried watching the story cutscenes on youtube, but all it did was remind me how fundamentally boring totk story already is.... i would have taken direct sequel to totk story with musou combat over this

>>725133932
Like you wouldn't fucking believe.

>>725073051 (OP)
I played BotW on release and only touched TotK this year. I stopped after the 1st temple the Wind Temple and haven't touched it for 2 months.

>>725150797
Wind Temple is the best part of the game, so you aren't missing much.

Over the years I'm beginning to suspect that Miyamoto was never Nintendo's true golden goose, he was just a hack that stole the credit of his peers and continues to make some terrible business and developer decisions to this year.
Dude killed Paper Mario, made the movie deal with Illumination, killed the Star Fox IP with Zero and killed classic Zelda by forcing them to drop a TP sequel for SS and it's motion-waggle gimmick midway through its development cycle.

>>725147427
then where the fuck did zelda come from

>>725151356

>basic narrative continuity

Pick one and only one.

One of the random no-name Hylians just lied and said their kid was descended from royalty.

Zelda is a descendant of a relative of Sonia, maybe.

>>725151813
>Fuck, the King and Queen died...
>Guess, I'm in charge now.

If Rauru and Sonia never had kids, how does that make Zelda their descendant?

>>725152293
Don't ask obvious and logical questions like that

>>725152293
inb4 Aonuma and Fujibayashi said she had relatives or a sibling or whatever

Nintendo is terrified of depicting or canonizing relationships in their games now, for some reason. They literally friendzoned Mario because of it.

>>725073051 (OP)
How do you have fatigue for something you have to go out of your way to expose yourself to?

>>725152293
Ok so the stork got kidnaped with the baby by Twinrova and the next game will be Epona's Island where you save the baby as Epona. Only to find out the parents are already dead.

>>725078137
The BotW/TotK fatigue is real. This one version of Hyrule has been the main stage for almost 10 years at this point. Nearly 1/4 of the franchises entire lifespan has been about this one incredibly divisive version of the world that's so far from established Zelda lore it's officially an AU. And with each game made in this setting it only gets more divisive.

Fucking based.
>>725151356
She came from a different royal lineage, like how there's two different Zeldas in LoZ and AoL.

>>725149279
>Nintendo will give us rail shooter sections in a Zelda musou but not a new Star Fox game

Ok here's a question.
What's the consensus on whether or not Rauru's Hyrule really is the first Hyrule ever vs some refounding of Hyrule or even just the first Hyrule of the BotW/TotK timeline (which is assuming the two games are their own separate continuity.)?

I saw discussion today about this topic and actually legitimately hadn't considered the possibility of Rauru's Hyrule actually being the first ever Hyrule, and not just being its own thing.

>>725153778
>Nintendo finally finalizes a timeline, something which they've kept teasing about or making spotty comments about since the SNES days
>Releases two games since that fall into the timeline before a huge gap of BotW and its fuckery before Echoes of Wisdom came along
And they're all in the fallen timeline too. Is every game in the timeline just gonna be there from now on?

>>725153778
>it's officially an AU
I wish. Nintendo is going to keep shoving this bullshit down our throats for another 5 years
they're hoping everyone forgets that non-botwotk zelda settings even exist

Miyamoto is the Akira Toriyama of video games; a very imaginative and creative man, but needs to be constantly tardwrangled by several people.

>>725074205
You mean ganondorfs captains?
One has a blue eye and the other has an orange eye
You telling me it’s not Twinrova?

>>725154701
It is literally meaningless because they are just jumping around tens of thousands of years ago and the reason they do it is because they realized the timeline was completely retarded and if you throw so much time at it then it doesn't matter.

>>725154867
>Toriyama
It's funny how the Buu Saga is the most decisive part of Z by a nautical mile...and just so happens to be when Toriyama was essentially let off the leash to do whatever he wanted. He had to be browbeat by his editor half a dozen times over the course of the Android Saga to even make Cell a concept.

>>725154892
>You telling me it’s not Twinrova?
They are, but nothing interesting is done with them. Which I mean, it makes sense, unique bosses can't really be done in a game like this.

ToTK. It wasn't the botw sequel that fans wanted. It was pretty much the exact same game but with banjo kazooie building

I never care for the setting in BotW. I ultra didn't care for it rehashed in TotK. HWotW was dogshit compared to HW:DE

Licking Ardi's feet.

Oh, don't be so melodramatic. It's two mainline games. It just took ages for the sequel to come out. We already had a mainline game set in non-BotW Hyrule last year. And they already said they're moving on now.

lmao

Was there hype? The last one sucked fat donkey cock compared to the original Hyrule Warriors and this looked like more of that, but now with even less characters I want to play as and following a story I couldn’t even begin to give a shit about.

how's the framerate?

>>725155998
dangerously based
i miss the 3ds like you wouldn't believe, and the switch isn't a successor to it at all

>>725156049
The last one made lots of money, but only because everyone thought it'd give them more of the part they wanted to see more of in BotW, like this one does. Of course, they would've gotten slapped with a tiny ass roster of about 10 characters they knew, four of whom would have logically gotten killed off and made unplayable like Sonia.

>>725156189
I'm honestly wondering if they'll do the DS/3DS on a separate hardware like the Virtual Boy. No way they're gonna leave two gigantic libraries like that just sitting in the dust forever.

the next 3d zelda better be something entirely new and separate from this "timeline"

used to be that every new zelda game was its own thing. Yeah there was a "timeline" technically I guess but no one was really making a game with that in mind, they just wanted to make a new zelda with the same premise, style, etc. OoT and MM are sequels but then you had wind waker which wasn't really connected to them at all and then twilight princess which was completely disconnected from the others, followed by skyward sword which is a prequel I guess but still completely disconnected in all other ways.

I just miss each new game being its own thing really.

Why do they even pretend to care about the story when they clearly didn't give a single fuck when going from BotW to TotK.

>>725156120
a roller coaster

>>725156406
>the next 3d zelda better be something entirely new and separate from this "timeline"
They said over a year ago there wouldn't be any sequels to TotK.

>>725156406
>OoT and MM are sequels but then you had wind waker which wasn't really connected to them at all
You're baiting

>>725156490
they didn't say they wouldn't move away from the shit art style and wannabe anime treatment of everything though. They need to go back to a TP or SS aesthetic, but I somehow very much doubt they will
nintendo's been hemorrhaging creativity

>>725073051 (OP)
Hyrule Warriors should be like the first one, a celebration of the whole series. These BotW jerkoff games will never reach the same level of soul

>>725075683
>yeah that's right the trannies would want this why haven't we killed them all already

>>725156684
crazy just how little soul Age of Calamity and this new one have, right? It's lightyears away from how OG Hyrule Warriors was in every way, from gameplay to setting to roster to music

>>725156406
You're retarded

>>725155450
>>DUDE WHAT IF SPACE GOAT ALIENS WERE THE FOUNDERS OF HYRULE LOL WHAT IF WE GAVE LOZ A GENERIC ANIME GAME TREATEMENT WOAH
The funny thing about this is that they pulled the ancient civilization card A THIRD FUCKING TIME with Age of Imprisonment, meaning there was YET ANOTHER Hyrule prior to Rauru's, because other kingdoms don't exist anymore, it's always Hyrule, always has been, always will be.
So NOW the timeline is
>original 3 timelines
>immeasurable timegap so long that literally everything fades into the unknown (unless your Zelda, then you can give a memberberries speech because Hylia wanted you to lol)
>Hyrule #1 rises and falls
>immeasurable timegap
>Rauru's Hyrule rises and falls
>immeasurable timegap
>Rhoam's Hyrule rises and briefly falls to Calamity
>100 year timegap
>Rhoam's Hyrule becomes Zelda's Hyrule
How many FUCKING times is this kingdom going to rise, fall, disappear into the sands of time, and then coincidentally be risen again without anyone having any knowledge that there was ever a prior Hyrule?

>>725130579
you realize this isn't resetera, right? troons and the rest of the woke morons are the exact sort of idiots safe and soulless nu zelda is meant to appeal to

>>725156659
Considering they revamp their art style with every couple of games, I don't know why they'd just stick to this one forever.

>>725156929
Shut up and buy our games (raughs)

>>725156684
>a celebration of the whole series

After a port with new content and 2 season passes to add more than the 3 games it actually released with and only 4 games actually have any stages at all instead of just being one or two dlc characters.

>>725157195
And no Capcom games represented whatsoever.

>>725157195
Base Hyrule Warriors is still a broader celebration than AoC or AoI

>>725157195
The story mode in this game was far worse than the ones in AoC or AoI. I know people meme Cia because an evil witch who just wants to take over the world because she wants to fuck Link is really funny but the rest of the game was very paint by numbers and none of the characters were utilized well. HW1 was carried by Adventure mode, which unfortunately the other two don't have.

Its pretty crazy that it will probably be 2029 or 2030 by the time we get the next mainline 3D Zelda game. Yeah we will probably get remakes or 2d spin off games like the Princess Zelda game last year but I mean the big mainline 3d game like OOT-MM-WW-TP-SS-BOTW-TOTK.

>>725156659
>the shit art style and wannabe anime treatment of everything
>They need to go back to a TP or SS aesthetic

SS was very generic anime, it even revolved around a fucking high school setting.
But other then that I do agree. Classic Zelda was great because it was the perfect blend of western and eastern fantasy elements. The new ones skew way more towards the weeb aspects, and in a very cringe and off-putting way.

>>725073051 (OP)
BOTW will be 9 years old next year

Let that sink in

>>725158206
yeah you put it well. There's just a very modern-anime-game weeby feel about them that none of the games had prior, and it is in fact very generic feeling and offputting

>>725158263
:(

>>725073051 (OP)
I have musouslop fatigue, that's why im barely excited for this. Wish this flops so nintendo starts looking for another genre for upcoming Zelda spinoffs

>>725074205

You idiot they had an opportunity to try the Warriors format with a different franchise

>>725082361
>>725082482
technically he sounds like fi and link's kid

>>725158671
I kept warning people that even if it's "canon", the story would offer literally nothing of value because
>we're leaving the Wild era world behind after this game, they literally said they've finished doing all they want to do with it
>if there was anything worthwhile in this game, it would've been in TotK prior, because you can't just retroactively insert these things into TotK and have them tangibly exist in the games without a content update (and that's taking away devtime from the next big Zelda)
But they all laughed at me. Look who's laughing now, eh?

>>725158509
Gimme an RPG for Zelda. I mean it's right there.

>>725158818
I knew it was going to be unremarkable, but to be so bad and.... I don't even know the word. Feels like a D+ Star Wars show with random asspulls and literally whos.

Random Zelda games I would want before BotW3 or more musouslop

>>725159040
>Feels like a D+ Star Wars show with random asspulls and literally whos.

This perfectly encapsulates the feel of BoTW-era Zelda. It's such a shame too, because they created such a strong foundation with BoTW's world, only to completely waste it.

>BotW was announced in 2014
I'm ready for another OoT clone already. I'm begging, Nintendo.

>>725158538
Castlevania Warriors

>>725159538
Is it crazy that I don't want another OoT clone either?
I want a game that takes the best aspects of both the classic games and the BoTW-era ones.

Gleeoks can only be fought in the gay light-rail sections, but I have't seen any fights with gloom-hands yet. Are they really not in the game, aside from phantom ganondorf bs?

>there are koroks hidden in the levels
why
who enjoys this

>>725159787
They're in the game, mainly in the Depths

>>725159659
If I had to choose between an OoT clone or another BOTW it's gonna be the clone any day. What else would they be doing different?

>>725159881
original had skulltulas, so not much of a leap

>>725160107
...so you like the koroks hidden in the levels?

>>725160210
yes, I have collected Hestu's Gift twice in BOTW and whatever TOTK's variation is

>>725157449
No one gives a shit about the story in a DW game

Give it to me... Give it to me NOW!

>>725073051 (OP)
Two main games that have the same world map and Mosou is fatiguing by nature. Who could possibly say no?

The Ancient Hero is from tens of thousands of years after the events of this game.
