So if we were to assume that every Nintendo franchise is connected in some way. Metroid, F-Zero, and Star Fox all being in Space. Mario and Link being on the same planet due to similar creatures spread across the planet, and so on.
Does that make her Farore? She has the green hair, the golden armor (golden goddess), deals with the Sky, a very similar thing to Farore's Symbol (albeit thats stretching it on my part), a bird like symbol behind her (only in smash I believe though), and has cocklust for Link (also only in Smash).
If the Nintendo universes were connected, would you guys be fine with Palutena being Farore and Farore is just the name Hylians gave her?

I want a Hyrule so complete that they can use it again and again. I want a Hyrule so complete that they can recreate all the past games quest on it.
Levi Walker
Tell me about it. I've wanted proper armor in Zelda ever since I saw the Magic Armor in TP. I absolutely love that armor that I'm willing to infinite rupee it just to use it. Not like anything in the game is going to kill you anyways outside of Hero/Ganondorf HD shenanigans.
That is the first thing I'm doing when I get the game. I'm gonna do the shrines to get the Glider and immediately go on a hunt for ore and armor. I am stupidly excited for that alone, let alone all the other cool stuff that was shown.

is really that bad ?
Michael Bailey
Maybe yes. Maybe no.
Tyler Parker
"Gods" in the Nintendo lore are just normal people with super powers.
Leo Parker
Just play it, dude.
Jeremiah Williams
And now we know why everyone is fighting in Super Smash Brothers.
Jason Martinez
Depends on who you ask. I love all the Zelda games myself, that includes SS. So I'll give you how I feel about the game personally.
+Story, it has a very good story with some good characters spread about and really pulls you into some moments in regards to how Link feels and has some powerful scenes in the series. +Aesthetic, the water color aesthetic is beautiful and really fits in the Zelda universe quite well. +Dungeons/Bosses, the dungeons and bosses are largely some of the best in the series honestly. 1-2 bosses are very poorly designed, but overall most of them feel amazing to actual conquer and get through.
-The Flame Sneaking sections can be a bit of a pain as they go on. I personally like them, but they are flawed and can be frustrating for someone playing it the first time. -Motion Plus+, while an interesting thing and it does work, it can very easily be circumvented in quite a lot of places by just waggling wildly. -Fi, while I personally like Fi, she can be a bit of an annoyance and doesn't have anywhere near as much character as Midna or Linebeck for instance. -Areas, areas aren't as entirely diverse as past Zeldas and are revisted, just with slightly different parts you couldn't get to before. With the exception of the first area that does change quite a bit, the latter two do not change nearly as much to warrant going through them again.
The cons I listed are all personal things that a variety of people have had complaints on. While they don't personally bother me, I felt I should add them as a con as I can see how they would frustrate or annoy people. I think the game really does shine in a lot of places though and is definitely worth a playthrough. The intro/tutorial of the game can be quite long and annoying though for some people, again, doesn't bother me, but its something to be aware of it you don't like it upon first impressions.
Hope I helped.
Hunter Brooks
It's ridiculously varied. On one hand the story is probably one of my favorites out of Legend of Zelda. I'd never felt more invested in any of the games, to the point where Impa telling me off at Eldin actually insulted me. The characters were good too, Groose grew on me a lot and Zelda was likable, Lord Ghirahim was a great villain although Demise was disappointing. On the other hand actually playing the game could be such a pain in the ass. The fetch quests and escorts and the things that get repeated over and over were so annoying that sometimes it felt like a chore to play. Then there were the times where playing the game was fucking awesome like most of the big fights and every Lanayru stage. The music was great too, very cheery to match the game's tone.
Ryder Taylor
Who would win in a battle for Link's cock? Cia or Palutena?
Liam Richardson
Cia has a deeper commitment to the quest.
Carson Morales
Palutena would win in the end. Cia is more dedicated, but Palutena is willing to try and beat the shit out of Link to make him hers. Cia more like just goes on a mental breakdown in terms of that.

James Powell
No, it's great.
Connor Wilson
Majora's Mask on the U's Virtual Console is probably not gonna happen soon, eh?
I wished on the triforce that you will never get to touch her. Now we wait and see which of us gets what we wanted.
Jaxson Nguyen
It would look identical to the Wii release, which you can get on the WiiU. You are probably wishing for MMHD, but it probably won't happen. Your only option is to emulate.
Thomas Hall
Is anyone else worried that we'll get almost no iconic/great music from Breath of the Wild?
Cameron Lopez
I don't think I care. Music is a nice bonus, but far from the reason I play.
Christian Wilson
You have the characters and the phenomenal music, you have IMO some of the best bosses in the series, but you also have the worst boss in the series and deceptively forced linearity.
Jack Howard

No, I mean Majora's Mask. I know it's on the Wii VC but I'm talking about the Wii U VC
Jose Myers

Christopher Brooks
I didn't say anything about 3D.
Austin Hall
You know you could just find a real woman to do those things with right? Instead of just imagining you can. Hell you might even find one that looks like you're picture.
Jaxson Russell
Well, it's not the reason I play either, but you can't deny Zelda soundtracks have gotten pretty iconic at this point. Since Ocarina of Time (some would argue even earlier), the series has had highly memorable tracks in each major console release, from Gerudo Valley to Molgera to Ballad of the Goddess even if it's just a Zelda's Lullaby reskin.
And music has played a major part throughout the series. For them to choose to deliberately downplay the music in the newest game makes me worry BotW could feel incomplete, like it's just shy of being a true Zelda experience.
Nathan Wilson
>Every generation must have a princess Zelda. >Sometimes the royal family only has a son. >He is put in dresses from birth so that he can still be the princess.
Justin Hall
Go back to real life where you belong
Mason Reed
Just listen to the trailer music.
I mean yeah we're not getting an overworld theme, but Dungeons, characters, cutscenes and other stuff will as always have music.
Kevin Collins
Oh, my bad. I thought you were asking about an HD version. If all you want is the vanilla game, best emulate.
Aiden Ward
I've been waiting a long time for it to come to the Wii U VC after they released OOT, but you have to accept that it's never coming. I bought it for the Wii, but I don't like how it looks now. Might as well deal with it or emulate it.
Luke Cruz
But this is real life. Why don't you join me?
Jonathan Bell
The puzzles and soundtrack is kind of the reason I play. So the way the series is going makes me hope that the 3D games' style doesn't go the way of ALttP, y'know, kinda fading away over time.

Ethan Butler

Joshua Morgan
No.
Isaac Gray
I'm worried they'll put so much effort into the open world exploration and "freedom to do whatever" that they'll make the story simple enough that it's not compelling and the dungeons (and I'm borrowing what another user said here) without any real progression in difficulty so that you can complete them in any order you want, like ALBW's Lorule Dungeons.
I like that ramping difficulty, actually NEEDING all the skills I've learned in the game up to that point makes me feel like I'm making real progress. And I love the stories in Zelda, they're what pull me into the games so intently. If BotW doesn't have those, it'll still be a good game, but it won't be a masterpiece like it could be.
Hudson Wright
Trust me, you'll feel it when it kicks in. Biology never discriminates.
Nathaniel Kelly
Have a wonderful day.
Gabriel Carter
Too bad she hated being an imp. Twili Midna even has a line in HW about how glad she is to not be an imp, even if in reality she's just trading one set of problems and proportions with another.
Ethan Hernandez
>non-american posters
Get the fuck out.
Jose Adams
Do you have a smaller picture?
Evan Turner
Don't tell me what to do.
Nicholas Sanchez
The only fear I have about the open world, is that it might be the only thing that the game has. I like open worlds, but at least GTA lets me jack a car and drive irresponsibly with the radio blasting.
Ayden Fisher
I'm scared the dungeons will be more mini-dungeons instead of full-fledged puzzle-packed Stone Towers, like you said with the Lorule dungeons being one-trick ponies that don't really need more than one item. I also would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a postgame dungeon.
Nicholas Hill
>I also would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a postgame dungeon Now the problem I see with that is >Zelda >Postgame Maybe an optional dungeon that's only accessible when you're endgame, or even a dungeon that's only available in the second playthrough, but beating Ganondorf then still traveling around the kingdom picking on bokoblins just doesn't seem Zelda-y.
Colton James
Hasn't happened yet, and I've been around longer than (You).
Gabriel Moore
But we are Link.
Ian Miller

Yeah, because they're making him RIGHT HANDED! Hashtag Raped Childhood.

Owen Kelly
Is hyrule a politically right or left leaning continent?
Camden Richardson
Who cares? There's monsters fucking everywhere. That usually unites people.
Luke Green
To be fair, her Imp form is more like Young Midna. Where she was a mischievous little thing that wasn't fit to be Queen.
Ethan Long
It would have been nice if this Zelda had naturally dark skin. It doesn't matter much but it's not outlandish that she'd have mixed ancestry. Iirc, concept art has her with dark skin so it was an idea once.
Kevin Butler
its a tan
Levi Anderson
They're an Empire.
They didn't have a UNIFICATION war for nothing. They bent the other races to their damn knees. I would assume because of the Interloper War, when they realize, oh shit, we better create this Empire and have everyone serve us. Also helps to explain how knowledge of the Triforce began to spread if the Interloper War was before the Unification War.
Charles Anderson
Surprisingly she isn't actually all that tall, Hylians are just manlets. Compared to say Ganondorf who has a confirmed height of 7'6", she's only around 5'8"-5'10". Tall for a woman usually, but not overall that tall for doors.
Parker Wright
I think twilight princess ganondorf is like 9'6'', zenkai too strong.
For him to be 7'6'' in that game would have made TP link about 3'9''
Chase Young
Just a dirty dirty pirate.
Josiah Clark
I've been avoiding Skyward Sword spoilers but it's impossible. Can someone explain this spoiler to me? Does Zelda know that she's the reincarnation of Hylia? Like, does she have memories? Or is she just a girl who is a reincarnation of a goddess?
Jason Cruz
M A N L E T A N L I N K E T
Tyler Moore
Tame a horse, pop an elixir and take in the ambience
Anthony Gomez
I know. That's why I said it would be nice if it wasn't.
Nathaniel Ortiz
They fucking tell you in the game
Go fucking play it you fucking cunt
Josiah Barnes
Well he's 7'6" in all canon sources.
Link is just a manlet. I think they just screwed up the model comparison honestly, those are never truly accurate representations anyways. Usually they always make Ganondorf significantly bigger than Link to make him imposing.
Smash is a better representation, I think in comparison Link is around 5'6" or so.
Jackson Collins
That's exactly what I want. When I've beaten I don't want camps I haven't cleared to be auto cleared and I want Bokoblins and other enemies to keep spawning into the world so I have stuff to fight, things to hunt and gear to loot forever
Samuel Allen
Just play the game user. If you really want to know. Yes, she does get her memories of Hylia back. At least SS Zelda does, doubtful on the others.
Dylan Perez
It's just a question. I want to play the game eventually. I've thought of seeing a Let's Play but they're boring,
Nolan Diaz
It as a tan in the zelda form concept art too, they never considered making her a dirty mexican pirate.
Lucas Rodriguez
Play it now.
Also she gets her memories back like said. She visits the 3 first temples 5 mins ahead of you to regain her memories.
