Alexander Long
Go find a place to fuck off and dont let anyone know where you are going
Joseph Johnson
Kinda early in the thread to get this butt-exploded, no famalam?
Oliver Gutierrez
DLC details when?
David Brown
Well, it was stupid until BotW happened. This game's plot supports the premise of the downfall line. one point of many that the downfall line is meant to act as the base of BotW, convergence or not
Jason Miller
>can you hear it yet...hero? Fuck you. I'm the hero of time, stop doubting me
Juan Jenkins
Uhm, no. You might be the hero of the wild though.
Levi Parker
If you're the hero of time, then why can't you go back and save your fish wife?
checkmate
Gavin Martinez
No fuck you. Hero of Time sounds better
Zachary Kelly
Improve
Caleb Peterson
OwO
What's this?
Connor Perez
I don't think it's the Mirror because if you give him pictures of all the shards so he can translate it, it just says like "both of you stand on the buttons and the shrine opens ;)"
Julian Davis
Then how about you walk back in time to fix that mess you left there?
Agreed.
All it takes is to fix the bullshit aiming. I don't want motion control forced down my throat. Make both options consistent with each other. So no, don't alter my aim move with the horse's auto movement. That's literally worse than OoT.
Christian Evans
why didn't OOT link just go back to when ganon was born and kill him
Christian Green
Fuck mounted archery.
Julian Ward
use bullet time for the last set of targets
saves a ton of time that can be used on the rest of the course
Nathan Nguyen
Is it really easier with motion control?
Jeremiah Lewis
He didn't know how to time travel with the ocarina during OoT. After the game, things were resolved already. Well, from his perspective.
Retardedly easy. If you have them, ancient bow and bomb arrows. Maybe a practice run with normal arrows to get used to it. If you need it, disable sounds. For me it helped with focus.
Chase Mitchell
The analog stick aiming uses your camera sensitivity, which means if you have it turned up (which you probably do since the camera is painfully slow otherwise) then it's fucking impossible to aim precisely without gyro controls.
Brayden Gonzalez
Why is the Yiga clan such a joke and why are they one of the best things about this game?

Charles Rodriguez
>Yigas have at least 99 bananas on them >Only drops one on death
Tyler Cooper
Actually, after a second thought, you might consider flipping the perspective around.
LoZ(THF), AoL and ALttP were released before OoT. The sealing war and its outcome was already established. A failing hero wasn't mentioned, but that's a detail that could easily be forgotten over time. We knew that Ganondorf had to succeed to some extend.
With that knowledge, the other timelines and OoT itself are what-ifs. It's kind of infuriating, but (You) were meant to die.
In my opinion, that's not the main issue. The sensitivity can be changed for the archery section. Since most targets are in front, a simple z-focus can quickly pull you back into a neutral position, even with a slow camera. What makes it impossible is the autopathing of the horse that overrides your aiming.
Alexander Gonzalez
Thanks! I got it. It's really shit that its not really doable with normal controls.
Oliver Bailey
Laughs at it while Paya cries and masturbates in a corner while he and Zelda fuck in her bed
Brandon Roberts
DLC should add weapon shops
Josiah Walker
Paya isn't Cia. She's already accepted their relationship before he even rescues her. She might have a bit of a cry but then she'll be fine
Asher Price
>already have to keep dropping weapons to pick new ones >implying weapon shops need to exist
I just wish it was easier to know where certain stuff spawns
Ethan Morales
Wouldn't it be nicer to sell it rather than dropping it
Jeremiah Fisher
id much rather have blacksmithing and shit to temper weapons for more damage/durability or make makeshift weapons. a metal plate to a boku club or adding screws to it sounds fun
Lucas White
Not necessary at all when you can use one sword to mine ore deposits and sell those for a profit
>pick up boko club >need to add in dragon parts to make it slightly better
Henry Morales
This remibds me. Dragonbone gear should have been 20 or so points higher. At least, it should have been better than royal gear. Royal stuff is made by the army of Hyrule, seems mostly ornamental . Dragonbone implies it contains fucking dragon bones. This also would make late game skeleton enemies actually fun to fight, since they would drop actually useful things.
Ryan Gomez
Royal stuff is both good looking and good
Royal guard stuff is great looking and more powerful but more fragile
Knight and Soldier stuff is just early game stuff
Dragonbone stuff is just a name, I don't think it means actual dragon parts at all
>BotW makes a point to reference SS and Fi >Zelda thinks she's incapable because she can't hear the Master Sword talking >BotW Link is proven to be perfectly capable as he can cast spells and receive telepathic messages >it's actually the sword not talking since it's clearly about to malfunction >At the end of SS Fi told us in her charming explicity that Demise's "residual consciousness" is absorbed into the Master Sword and therefore "sealed away" Uhm, I think we might have a little problem in the future
Elijah Diaz
Oh quiet this isn't even a good run and the route has a number of parts that are being actively optimized still. If anything any% is dead because runners are doing all dungeons.
Benjamin Foster
Does someone have the Hylian to English key?
Henry Evans
The next game better have Souls-esque weapon mechanics because while the breaking shit is bearable it could be much better.
I guess their idea is to force the player to use diverse weapons, but there's no point if you end up liking something and then it's going to break anyways.
If they think upgrading and shit would be too far then at least give us the ability to repair weapons in the next title.
Zachary Phillips
TINFOIL HAT THEORY If you overlay the original Zelda map with BotW are there any corresponding secrets like hidden bombable walls?
Connor Morris
There's no lv9 in spectacle rock
Jose Foster
They don't overlay properly, even if you rotate and flip the maps. Major issues are Lake Hylia is HUGE and in the middle of the map, and the forests are in opposing corners in Zelda 1.
Christian Scott
Will the DLC have Darknuts?
Angel Rivera
>admits to have done a shit plateau >drops twice from horse during field >chokes at zelda's study roof
>action figure cheat yeah, amazing run
Benjamin Foster
no
it'll have iron knuckles
Jayden Thomas
Fi did talk to Zelda though, when normally she should only be able to talk to the hero. Zelda thinks she's incapable because she can't use magic despite doing all the Goddess ritual shit. Demise is like a little bug compared to Fi and if he hasn't been obliterated by this point then he's still fucked since he can't really do much while trapped in a sword with a spirit much more powerful than him.
Angel Mitchell
Snappity snap ! ~ ~
Charles Ortiz
>action figure cheat Are BotW speedrunners seriously allowing amiibo in normal categories? If you got a good bow/bomb arrows or some guardian shit then you could rush Hyrule Castle ezpz maybe looting a few extra things on the way up.
Justin Jenkins
Where's the best website I can get Amiibo files to put on my NFC stickers to spoof them?
Aiden Clark
I like how there's a little spiel about her looking like a child and then she's just like "yes" and never actually explains it.
Wish there were more rune upgrades, too. Totally should've been Magnesis upgrades for range and auto-pickup of crafting mats/monster drops. Cryosis could have gotten more/larger pillars, the ability to make stone blocks on magma after you get some shit from Death Mountain, or Sand Sceptre functionality after getting some shit from a Molduga.
It kinda bothers me how this game is so amazing and yet still has so much room for improvement.
Juan Thompson
>I like how there's a little spiel about her looking like a child and then she's just like "yes" and never actually explains it. Did you not read her diary?
I'm next to some Stalnox bones how do I get to fight them?
I waited till night time and still no action
Brayden Morris
That's what they already do. The amiibos used are Smash Link for Epona and Toon Link for mighty fish to make an attack boosting elixir.
Kevin Rivera
Epona allows for a much easier run to the castle without having to fight your own horse to stay on track, or have bad RNG and get a shit stat horse
Some amiibos will drop, in addition to weapons and arrows, food that can be cooked for extra speed or extra damage effectively helping in making the run faster, assuming RNG god smiles on the run.
And before you say anything, I believe runs with amiibo should have their own tab/category to separate them instead of being just a flag that people can filter them by. The current leaderboards will eventually just cause more drama and problems when people start arguing over which if the 1st or 2nd best times are the actual WR because of amiibo usage.
Matthew Jenkins
Whats the best/fastest way to farm some good shields?
Alexander Carter
these things drop star fragments? never got them
Jordan Brooks
buy a hylian shield or repair the daybreaker
Brody Harris
Only Downfall is a What If. The two traditional timelines can only be called a split because it's a time paradox. If Link goes back and stops Ganondorf before he gets the Triforce then Link can't go back in the first place. They MUST exist simultaneously or else neither can exist.
A What If is a "theoretical" timeline, one that wasn't created through time travel shenanigans. These always exist alongside each other and reflect every possible outcome. So not only is there a timeline where Link fails, there's a timeline where Link has a draw with Ganon, there's a timeline where Ganon bangs Link's twink ass, there's a timeline where Link is right-handed and wears purple clothes, and so on and so on. The timelines cannot effect each other through time travel, only through traveling between dimensions, whereas with two simultaneous timelines you could travel back in time and change the future of the other, or resolve the time paradox thus merging the two timelines back together.
This is why the Downfall timeline is an absolutely retarded idea, because all you need to say is it's an alternate timeline from the Child one, one where ALTTP happens INSTEAD of TP.
This is why you don't mix time paradoxes with alt universes. They're two entirely separate concepts.

Blake Clark
Go away until the game resets the area he's in so the game spawns him "alive"
You don't even have to go that far anyways
William Lewis
move away, come back. Or save reload. They don't seem to wake up when you are next to them.
Joseph Wood
Yeah it's pretty ridiculous. I am not against Zelda having amiibo treats. But using that crap in speedruns is the equivalent of using money/level-ups DLC or whatever. There is a reason you have to go into the options and enable amiibos before you can even use them.
Liam Barnes
>when normally she should only be able to talk to the hero How did you come to this opinion? I can't remember for sure, but from my memory, Fi was a physical part of the SS game. Why should her voice or telepathic connection be restricted to the hero? Any Hylian capable of receiving messages should be fine.
I give you that in that cutscene Zelda was more being snarky and it was directed at Link for not being capable of hearing it despite him being supposed to. The fact, the unusual silence, remains.
>Demise is like a little bug compared to Fi and if he hasn't been obliterated by this point then he's still fucked since he can't really do much while trapped in a sword with a spirit much more powerful than him. Are you a Fi-fag? I don't mean any harm, it's just that you're really odd here.
Hudson Torres
I was really surprised when I got to Goron City and realized weapon smithing wasn't in the game, because you find all kinds of "enhanced" weapons and ones with various buffs and bonuses attached.
I understand why they don't want you to be able to repair weapons, but applying buffs to ones you've picked up definitely should be in the game.
Logan Garcia
>mfw BotW TAS runs

>Fi was created by the goddess >>"Fi should only be able to communicate with the hero and not her creator"
No
Benjamin Gray
I hope speedruns eventually just turn into a series of stasis launches on top of amiibo treasure chests
Josiah Perez
>I hope speedruns eventually just turn into a series of stasis launches on top of amiibo treasure chests
As it stands right now AMQ runs seem to be shaping up to have a shitload of tree stasis launches
Cameron Sanchez
kill silver lynels and take their shield and have the hylian shield with the tarry town sidequest completed so you can buy another when it breaks and you'll be set.
Ian Robinson
>reading a little girl's diary after she asks you not to what the fuck is wrong with you? If I were her I'd delete all your runes or something...
Jaxson Smith
Is there any way to get the shots i made with the camera as a file?
John Nelson
Paya asks you not to her diary.
Zelda is in no position to say anything.
Riju gives 0 shits even if you do it right in front of her
Samuel Ramirez
My point is that despite popular opinion, from a perspective that emphasizes the chronological order of game releases, it's the other way around. OoT is a game made from the premise that, alternatively to established facts that are the first 3 games, there could be a version of Hyrule that doesn't feature Ganondorf winning, even though we know he was intended to.
Therefore, OoT is the "theoretical" timeline, the What If to the established world that had Ganondorf win.
Jason Jones

Luke Cooper
susana?
William Ross
Anyone have a 3/5/1 horse or strictly better? I still think there's a chance one exists and we have the best Zelda horse community on the Internet.
John Gonzalez
Is there a link to the full BotW ost anywhere? And I mean the full rip, not the terrible sound selection cd. It's all on youtube, so I figure it's gotta be out there.
Kayden Diaz
I read it before I met her. Protip: don't leave your door unlocked if you care about privacy.
Isaiah Nelson
the only thing Riju is concerned about is being considered childish or a poor leader
Blake Rivera
Joke's on her that's my fetish
Evan Ortiz
If you can't find it just use cloudfile.co and save as mp3.
Easton Jackson
Depends on what you call better.
Jack Baker
No stats that are lower. Stamina is pretty insignificant because of the glitch, so 3/5/1 is a candidate for the best horse and would be one of the few horses that is worth having in a stable.
Kevin Jackson
While Riju should be a couple of years older. Seeing all the children of Gerudo town run around and band up, playing, adventuring, and doing all kinds of projects on and off together while having a real sense of community where they play and support each other. Made me kind of sad whenever I saw Riju playing by herself in her room since she can't play with the other kids since she has to be a strong and mature leader.
Also. Gerudo Town has got to be the most fleshed out area in the entire game.
I consider better, since apparently the glitch is not 100% reliable. The more often you have to perform it, the higher the chance you mess it up. On the other side, why would you ever need strength on a horse?
Aaron Sullivan
I'm just concerned about files losing quality if I rip from youtube (which would already have been worse quality than the source), but that's a last resort I guess.
Ryder Murphy
It's very noticeable when a horse has low strength. They're pretty much made of paper, while high strength horses can tank guardian beams all day.
Landon Gonzalez
previous Gerudo were sluts or at least very carnivorous but the current batch are much more timid and shy around men they're attracted to although their fierce warrior aspects makes them go for it and end up spilling spaghetti due to heir lack of experience
There should've been some kids her age but let's face it Gerudo is the only area with 2 models for children based on age
