I must admit that I am not keen on having someone joining just to promote something without trying to be part of the community, but given the state of the forums right now, anything interesting is nice. Just know you're welcome to reply on any of our other threads. I have no problem with necro posting if you are not spamming. Have a nice day.

Kaynil replied to the thread Pokemon World - a free browser Pokemon adventure.

The theory sounds pretty cool. I think an MMO starting at Pallet Town where you can do most of the stuff you could do in the classic games is very enticing. I can' really say much on the images as postimage doesn't let you post embed images if you are not in their premium tier. Maybe you can try uploading them directly to your post, if they are not too big. The main website looks gorgeous. It looks like a very ambitious project. I am not going to lie, being so overt with the url name and…

Kaynil replied to the thread Analyzing the Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer: Tapestries, Navi, and the Link Who Cannot Return.

[…] This is probably the part that puzzled me the most because the Triforce was not fragment from the beginning of the game, it was separated when Ganondorf entered the Sacred Realm with a dark heart, so if that is footage of the beginning of the game, then that suggest a big shift to the way we came to understand the story due to the mythos passed down to us by the same game. The interesting thing is that separation being persistent, to where when Link is sent back in time by Zelda he brings…

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake — Peripheral Speculation: SDS, Not a Return to the Past, but a Step Toward the Future.

Definitely find myself intrigued by the idea of the past and future in the different screens and how you can see in real time the consequences of your actions as Young Link and how that fluid dynamic could call forth even more changes in how we perceive both worlds. Reading your post it reminded me of the Wii U. I saw developers planning for out-of-the-box uses and ways to immerse players with the game. I don't know if you played the Starfox for the WiiU but I feel like the dual screen…

Ocarina of Time Remake — The Flute and Sound: Another Underexplored Core.

I am a bit bummed chiming this late but even though we saw the Direct and have some context I think it is still apt to broad this subject. Yes, the Ocarina is a bit of an unsung hero in its own game. With so many articles in your inventory it is easy to diminish its role, but the game truly earns having it as part of its title. It helps your journey in different ways. I liked the scarecrow song, and I am excited to see what Nintendo does to expand the role of teh Ocarina in the remaster. What…

  • There has already been a lot of discussion online about the tapestry shown in the PV for Ocarina of Time Remake, so before the upcoming TGS, I would also like to share my personal thoughts.

    First, let me pour a little cold water on the discussion. At the end of the PV, the Triforce symbol on Link's hand begins to glow. Some people have interpreted this as Link obtaining the complete Triforce, but if you look closely at the moment when the glow fades, it is the Triforce of Courage that disappears last. So I believe that what Link obtains within the Great Deku Tree is still the Triforce of Courage. In the very first shot of the PV, there is also something beneath the Great Deku Tree that appears to be glowing; I suspect that it may be the Triforce of Courage within the Great Deku Tree. Of course, this does not mean I am absolutely correct.

    If the tapestry is simply decorative, I still think it is an interesting detail. But if it is actually recording some kind of “Hero Link,” then a

  • This is my personal speculation and design theory, not a leak.

    If Ocarina of Time Remake were to introduce a new second-screen peripheral, I don't think its greatest value would simply be “having another screen.”

    The most obvious uses for a second screen are maps, inventories, quests, and other information displays. But these are essentially just ways of separating information. They do not fundamentally change how the game is played. The real reason for an additional piece of hardware should be a change in interaction itself. If the second screen is merely a display, its value is limited; if it can become another game space—carrying another character, perspective, location, or even timeline—then it can become a new medium for interaction.

    So for the sake of this idea, I will call it SDS (Switch 2 Dual Screen).

    I don't think it should be designed as “bringing the DS back,” nor should it be physically combined with the Switch 2 to create a dual-screen handheld. A more reasonable

    …
  • Ocarina of Time has been discussed for almost thirty years, and time is already one of the most developed themes in Zelda studies: child and adult Link, seven years of sleep, the Temple of Time, the split timeline, and Link as a traveler through time. By comparison, the “flute and sound” side of the game is often treated mainly as music appreciation.

    I would like to ask a broader question:

    Quote

    Besides time, could Ocarina of Time have another important medium at its core—sound?

    The original game already gives us a strong basis. The Ocarina is not merely an item. It is a language through which the player interacts with Hyrule. It can call a horse, change time, teleport Link, summon storms, solve puzzles, and interact with NPCs.

    It therefore has several identities at once:

    • musical instrument;
    • game command;
    • puzzle key;
    • time tool;
    • communication medium;
    • carrier of player memory.

    The player does not simply use the Ocarina. The player plays it, and the world
