The mi-fa / ti-do thing isn't a new discovery FWIW:https://nintendoeverything.com/breath-of-the-wild-composers-on-changing-up-zeldas-music-formula-and-more/2/
Wakai: I just had a sudden idea. Originally Sidon’s theme was made of a combination of scale Ti and Do (Sidon’s original Japanese name is Shido) and Mipha’s was a combination of Mi and Fa (original Japanese name: Mifa), but then for the song ‘Mipha and Sidon’ I created Sidon’s theme using the Mi and Fa scale, because I thought when you look through Sidon’s eyes, Mipha is the real hero.

I love shit like that tbh!
I'm sure if we're talking about this then we already know that the Skyward Sword theme was Zelda's theme in retrograde, right
I mean, it's a bad theme and a bad game but it was cute idea

It's cool that "video game serieses" have provided a format for the most worthwhile developments in "use of leitmotif". The first time the pointillist piano score in BoTW got excited about me being on a horse and started working in fragments of Zelda's theme, I got SO HAPPY
I think it's also interesting how the overworld theme from NES Zelda (you know, the famous one) seems to be approached by their composers as top-shelf, like they really save it for climaxes and closing credits, it's not really used as musical material with nearly the same frequency... largely, I assume, because it's so recognizable in its jumpiness, very "Star Spangled Banner"-ish

So I bought a house in Haetano village or whatever it’s called. I spend all my time hunting for jewels and riding my horse aimlessly.

I'm probably coming to the end of my obsessive few months of BOTW - got all the shrines, completed the Champions DLC thing, haven't done the Trial of the Sword yet but having tried it I fear I'm just not good enough at the fighting to get beyond the first few stages - and know I'm gonna miss it. For all of the lovely moments, my fondest memory might be wearing a Bokoblin mask and hanging out with a couple of Bokoblins, feeding them my fruit, then calling my horse over to say hello only for her to kick my new friends to death.
The little hints of that classic Zelda theme it knits in here and there get me every time. I expected a more epic version for the Ganon fight or end sequence but maybe it's nice they held back. I can just imagine the spaghetti western-styled one from the castle exterior ramping up a few notches instead.

you gotta do the trial of the sword its so good, plus then playing with the op sword is sick, fwiw winning is more about playing strategically than being good at the fighting mechanics, basically thinking about how you can pick off the monsters one by one

About freakin time.
Trailer didnt give away anything previous ones havent, though. It seems like it's going to be a sort of BOTW/Skyward Sword mashup?

Link's plane looks like the bird whistles sold at Teotihuacán which are similar to an ocarina.

tons of zonai imagery in this + links gear look pretty rudimentary seems like it could take place in ancient hyrule or like the ancient stuff is leaking through to the present day

i do want to add to the some of the intense fan-speculation about the story of the game by theorizing that in this game, link cries all the time and you can't get him to move some days
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 18 September 2022 15:24 (one year ago) link
oh great, link is sad about some relationship again, wonderful
crying link, verbally abusive zedla, a gritty new reimagining of the hyrule hero
― lag∞n, Sunday, 18 September 2022 15:37 (one year ago) link
now you must hold the Y button for 3 to 5 minutes as you eat, and cannot move. the food has lost its taste since all link's friends stopped talking to him, so every once in a while you have to press X to attempt to chew it a few more times, to get it down
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 18 September 2022 15:39 (one year ago) link
i do like watching the fan theory youtubes, serious neurodivergent hours, the best part is the insistence on a unified timeline for all the games which is obviously not something the people who made the games were thinking about at all
― lag∞n, Sunday, 18 September 2022 15:41 (one year ago) link
timelines and story and lore are maybe the biggest part of videogames that are absolutely invisible for me. it's like i'm into art but i can't see lines. i've played like 10 zeldas and beaten one (botw 1: the time of no crying), and i can't imagine caring about what year it is or how old ganon is this time
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 18 September 2022 15:44 (one year ago) link
ganondorf is 600 years old, is what i think, he's always that age. the whole series takes place in the land of imaginationville
is there a similar thing with mario games? is there a mario universe with a timeline?
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 18 September 2022 15:45 (one year ago) link
no mario is just a fun jumping plumber, and now he has a hat who is his friend

zelda theorists have a part where time fractures into three lines, thats how they make it make sense
― lag∞n, Sunday, 18 September 2022 15:47 (one year ago) link
tbf zelda does invite all this by having a lot of lore, but the games are obvs more thematically than literally connected
the zelda universe exists within the mario universe as a jumanji game the mario characters get sucked into

zelda is a dream luigi is having where hes the main guy thats why link has a green outfit

It is all imagined by an extra between takes on the set of Baz Luhrmann's ELVIS. It is a battle between Tom Hank's natural and Colonel Parker accents.

in tears of the kingdom, link has three children who all hate him and are trying to destroy him. he is tasked with identifying the one child of his three who is capable of seeing the wrongness of their ways and then sacrificing that same child on the blood altar to zelda as a symbol of their love

Finished Master Sword Trials!!! Once I got into the groove it wasn't too bad. The two things that helped me the most were mastering the shield parry to defeat guardians which gave me a surplus of ancient arrows at the end, and quickly switching between round bombs and square bombs to keep a constant stream of them raining at enemies.
At the very end of it I was shooting Bokoblins with ancient arrows and it felt soooooooo good.
I just noticed that I have 7 side quests I haven't done, so that should keep me busy until the new one comes out.
― Cow_Art, Friday, 31 March 2023 03:44 (one year ago) link
Is there any greater joy than firing arrows methodically from a great distance until you land one right into an enemy's head?
I don't think so.
― Cow_Art, Friday, 31 March 2023 03:49 (one year ago) link
i realized i never really explored thundra plateau, the area with all the huge mushroom plants. i kept climbing them and then gliding over to other ones and climbing up them, expecting eventually i'd find something cool (aside from the obvious shrine puzzle) but nope, just a bunch of bird eggs. disappointing.
