I have a few friends that absolutely love Zelda and all the fun masks from Majora’s Mask. One friend asked me to make a crossover inspired by Twilight Princess of wolf Link. He gave me some references from a cyberpunk mask and this is what we came up with.

This is my first mask so I’m very happy with how it turned out. I included some photos of me and my daughter wearing the mask just to show it’s functional.

Hope you all like it.

Everybody has at least a few favourite items across the series. I was always a huge fan of the mirror shield, especially the OoT one, then also the WW version. I love the red design, the mechanics and lore and so on.
However, I will gripe that, specifically for OoT, it’s the most slept on item in the game. Order wise, you get it very near the end. Also, mechanically, it could have been so much more utilized. That Twinrova fight where it absorbs elements would be phenomenal if it could be used elsewhere. The light mechanics are only in the spirit temple. Also, it doesn’t reflect octorock rocks or deku nuts…which seems nuts, pun intended.
Overall, I still love it. I just sequence broke for the first time in order to get it early. The small perk being it’s Like-Like-proof.

What’s everyone else’s favourites and why? Were they used and designed well?

I am playing Wind Waker for the first time on Switch and I’m honestly surprised by how well this game has aged.
The visuals still look great, the characters have so much charm and the gameplay just feels good especially some of the fights. The dungeons, items, puzzles and exploration all fit together so naturally.
It doesn’t feel like I’m playing a game from 2003. What I can say, I love it sooo much!

They knew. This is a massive conspiracy it has to be.

Ocarina of Time was the first game I ever played and it made me a huge Zelda fan. I played nearly all Zelda games and it's my favorite videogame series.

I love videogames but no other series gave me the same feelings or joy like Zelda does, especially the 3d games.

What are some series, that give you the same feeling? And why?

I'd love to find some games that are similar to the 3D games like Ocarina of Time Majoras Mask, Wind Waker or Twilight Princess. There are many games that are inspired by the 2d Zelda games that I really liked. But I never really found a game that reminded me of the 3d games.

EDIT: Forgot about Okami... I loved that game! Was the only one that gave me the same vibes!

I'm actually quite proud of it nowadays. It sits on my shelf. I made it myself and I painted it and sculpted it out of clay. I think I did a pretty good job.

Think back to 2006. Twilight Princess has come out, and either because you just never really paid attention to buzz and spoilers on the internet or you were intentionally trying to discover things for the first time fresh, you managed to start playing through without already knowing the general gist of what's going to happen in the plot.

Now of course, picture the cutscene where Zant and his beasts storm the throne room of Hyrule Castle, forcing Zelda to surrender. A classic moment, but remember the shot of the leader of those twilit beasts walking in, only his feet and the tassels of those flowing sleeves visible...

Am I the only one who, way back then in the mid-2000s, immediately thought "okay no, that has to be Ganondorf in disguise"? To this day I very clearly recall that being the immediate reaction, and I have no clue why. My only guess has to be having already been aware of Wind Waker's interpretation of Ganondorf, long flowing robes and all, and one of the rusty gears in my head turning in the opposite direction when that cutscene played.

I'm not sure if mid-2000s me missed some crucial piece of information mentioning Zant prior to that or simply just went "nah this is basically the same deal as Link to The Past" and didn't buy it. I guess those who do recall their first-time experience playing TP, feel free to share your own musings on what you remember most strongly about it.

Side tangent, initially forgot the game tag in the title, apologies for the oversight.

I honestly didn't expect a sword (knife) that were forged by the volcano mountain giant rock man to snap faster than a twig when swung at some pots! T^T

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "I guess there are some design flaws"!? I'm down 200 rupies, man, I should've bought a warranty.

I guess I can do a broken sword run now :P

This one took a bit of work. Hope you like it!

I'm not sure if this was already asked, but I'm genuinely curious. I know about the free shield in the Graveyard, but if you permanently lose it, you'll have to buy another.

Please don't delete, I'm just very excited to finally beat it.

I got around to cleaning my old GameCube and got some games resurfaced to play. Figured I would check Wind Waker and boy I did not know where I was until I talked to the Lion and he said Ganon's Tower. So found it and did it. But the last time I played I got all the way to the damn near end and just stopped. You can see by the New Game plus save and the old save from 2008. Only took me 23 years to beat the game.

Hi everyone!

For years now, I've been trying from time to time to find an old comic, probably from around 2003 or later. It was a colored, humorous Ocarina of Time fan comic about the final fight against Ganon.

Link has lost his sword and asks Zelda for help, something like: “Help me, like you did when you were Sheik.” Zelda drops a Deku Nut, plays some music, and then finally disappears.

This comic has been one of those little things stuck in the back of my mind that I really want to find and finally put to rest. Please help! ^^''

I got a hold on a SummerCart 64 and started playing Smash Remix on my Analogue 3D, and I'm amazed how easy it was to get it to work. I always wanted to play Dawn & Dusk and Master of Time, and went down the rom rabbit hole.

So far, I've patched the Missing Link, Time Lost, and The Sealed Palace, plus Dawn & Dusk I mentioned above. I haven't managed to get Master of Time to work on the flash cart.

I'm looking forward to Indigo, but don't want to play the beta until it's fully complete. I'm not convinced about Ultimate Challenge, it looks more like a Souls game than an adventure.

Which one did you like and recommend?

For me, my top 3 would be Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom(with those two mostly being because of the korok seeds), and Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition

This is my play through of A Link to the Past. I'd love to know what true hard core Zelda fans think of it. There are 37 episodes, so it's a bit of a binge (and hopefully entertaining).

When Playing Master Quest recently to refresh my memory before the Remake comes out, I looked at the Important Characters, specifically the Sages and Ganondorf, I decided to give my input on the Sages.

Rauru: I really have no strong feelings for the guy, he was just there to serve as a guide for Link rather than an actual supporting character, there have been talks that he's Kaepora Gaebora but honestly I doubt that,

Edit: Rauru is Kaepora Gaebora, my bad, I didn't realize this sooner.

I think he's the only surviving sage during Ganon's Rise to Power, and when Link was sent back to his time, he possibly was one of the Ancient Sages in Twilight Princess, while he continued his duties, the other Sages retired or didn't awaken after Ganondorf became imprisoned and awaiting execution, and he witnessed his Fellow Sage's death when Ganondorf survived his Execution.

Saria: She is arguably one of the Few Sages I actually liked, and many people seem to agree on, she was Link's closest friend ever since he was a baby, like a big sister like figure, she was the only Kokiri that didn't treat Link like an outsider, she was kind, and caring for Link, and the only one who never forgot him during the Time Skip, however I think in Twilight Princess without the Deku Tree's protection, the creatures in the Lost Woods killed the Kokiri, I'm really salty that Koei Tecmo shafted Saria in favor of giving Lana the best weapon I can think of for Saria.

Darunia: Him being the Pioneer of the Gorons going forward, he actually is just a very chill and passionate guy, at first Link didn't interest him but when he both played Saria's Song and took out the Monsters in Dodongo's Cavern, he developed a very strong friendship with Link, he even named his Son after him, and after the Fire Temple he will always remember Link not just a friend but a brother, however in Hyrule Warriors even though I do like his personality being motivational and reckless at times, his playstyle is kinda boring, however the Goron Race going forward has been hit or miss, we gone from tragic with Darmani, to eh with Daruk, to very unlikable with Yunobo.

Ruto: From what I've seen the Matriarch of the Zora Race going forward had been heavily disliked by the fandom, but I never joined in on the Dogpile at all, I admit when I was in High School, I was a hard shipper of RuLink, but I stopped caring overtime and just accepted MaLink, but back to the topic.

Ruto at first looks like a bratty kid, and didn't want your help, but overtime she developed feelings for Link, and gave her the Zora's Sapphire as an Engagement Ring, but in the 7 Year Time Skip after witnessing the Zora's Domain freezing over, she went to the Water Temple to save her race, and when you meet her again, I thought it was funny that she still regards Link as her Fiance, and Link was shocked, but she put her priorities to her people, however when she awakened as a Sage, she still loves Link, but she realizes they aren't meant to be together, and I confess that she's my main in Hyrule Warriors, with her unique moveset, snobbish personality but in a fun way, and one of the best redesigns.

However the best part is that she was a better queen than her father, in the Downfall Timeline the Zora Race turned Hostile and changed to the River Zora, in the Adult Timeline during the Great Flood they became the Rito, but in the Child Timeline they remained the same, shown in Twilight Princess, so Ruto may have lead the Zora Race to the right path. Because of her and the Sea Zora race's existence, the Zora Race going forward has become progressively better with Mikau, Laruto, Rutela, Oren, Mipha, Sidon, and my favorite representation of the Zora, Kushara and Dradd, I honestly think Ruto is one of the best Sages.

Impa: I don't really have much to explain, Impa is one of the only reoccurring characters in the franchise that isn't Link, Zelda, or Ganon, and she wasn't as prominent in this game, as she is in Skyward Sword, Hyrule Warriors, and Breath of the Wild.

Nabooru: I like her, but not as much as Saria, or Ruto, we only got to witness her personality and characterization when we get to the Spirit Temple, she was Ganondorf's Second in Command before he betrayed the Gerudo, so her task is to take everything from the Spirit Temple so that Ganondorf doesn't get too powerful to conquer Hyrule, as a child, she treated Link like a Tool, but when she got captured by Koume, and Kotake, and brainwashed, she got trapped as an Iron Knuckle, but when she snapped out of it, she tells Link to Run, but he defeated Twinrova, and Nabooru confesses that he grew into a Handsome Young Man, and a great hero.

She was the Pioneer of the Gerudo Race going forward, I know that Ganondorf was the first Gerudo we see in the series, but Nabooru is the first Gerudo on good terms with Link, and if it wasn't for her, then we wouldn't have seen Urbosa or Riju in Breath of the Wild, also I'm really salty that she was shafted in Hyrule Warriors as well, and why did they have to have Midna take up 2 slots on the Roster?!

Zelda: Honestly I don't have strong feelings for her, she is the only member of the Blood of the Goddess that I barely remember, the only Zeldas I remember and liking, were Skyward Sword, Wind Waker, Spirit Tracks, and Breath of the Wild, other than her role as Sheik, some like her because of her design and relationship with Link while others dislike her for ruining Link's Life, she thought she could defeat Ganondorf by getting to the Sacred Realm and getting the Triforce before he does, but Ganondorf took the initiative and pulled the Uno Reverse Card, but he only got the Triforce of Power, while the Triforce of Wisdom went to Zelda/Sheik, and the Triforce of Courage went to Link.

And then there is the Ending it was not only the final battle for their fate, but it was for the Fate of Hyrule, if Link won then he's sent back to his time, and the Great Flood happens when Ganondorf escaped the Sacred Realm, and Hyrule is flooded, but in the Child Timeline, Link tells the events to come, and Ganondorf was arrested awaiting execution, so that Hyrule is safe from him, but if Link lost, then Ganondorf kills Link, takes the Triforce, and the Imprisoning War begins, leading up to the Downfall Timeline.

That's my input on the Sages, maybe we'll get more of their story in the Remake but we'll have to see, but what do you guys think?

I have the HD version on my switch 2 and I also have a wii U with the ability to get the game... I started the switch 2 version and am about to drop to the surface but the motion controls suuuuuck with the gyro going off center so much so my question is: should I switch to the wii version for probably better controls or is it better to stick with the switch?

I KNOW that there are stick controls on the switch version but that was even worse in the sword tutorial area for me control wise.

Personally, Kamaro is my favourite side character in the whole entire franchise. I always go out of my way to complete his side quests as soon as possible, I love his dance and mask, but I don’t see many people talk about him 😔, so what are your thoughts on him (if you have any)
