I've realized I missed a bunch of stuff.

I didn't know you could use amiibos to unlock outfits and I never got to the Great fairies.

How did you guys do?

Yeah, _LS_ I know it's been 10 years but I am still curious. Haha

This is an initiative of a different community than us, but one that I wanted us to partake into. Hopefully every year. It is a day of celebration!

This is pretty much a day to reflect on the different communities than have shaped us. All the friendships we've gained through them and the significance of online communities even today.

I know a lot of us members have been in communities for many decades. Some are here and some have left us.

Just on Zelda communities I have had the pleasure and the sadness of being part of many different communities and see some of them flourish and then leave. In general, because of newer technologies and the change of priorities as we grow older with our own families and things to attend, most communities ahve been sufferinga huge hit in activity and perhaps it will not be what we remember but it doesn't change that those moments existed and those bonds grew. It doesn't change that there are still people that find a home in online communities and still visit this and other forums to get their fill.

Heck, Kyde has seen me growth since the early days of the community and the first merges. The way my English and priorities have moved. Some of you know me from decades. Some of you were my high school friends. It is amazing to me how online communities had a positive impact in my life. I am sure y'all know this, I met Sardonic Pickleon an online forum. It was a forum we both joined on the same night and hit it off from the forum games. How could I have predicted that I would be today making this thread (with more than double of the age I had back then) being married for over a decade and living in the other side of the world? but here we are.

TSR, do I need to say more? How many of us got together back in those days? How different our opinions and priorities were? hahah.
ToH cannot go without mention.

I am always going to treasure those days.

And with Zelda cavern, I also had no idea that I was going to circle back here but they sure put up with me back then. I know a lot of the staff from then is gone but there area few that still come from time to time and just being able to see how much Zelda Cavern has withstand and constantly changed and how much I have changed too from my first posts. This is all pretty emotional to me. So I'll keep coming back here and a few other communities that will always be my home.

So come and gather, and let's talk about the communities that marked us. Let's bring those funny tales. As blurry as my memory is getting, let's reminisce of the members that made those communities what they were, and I quote "Linkers always comes back".

As for my impressions:

It was interesting seeing all the framerate tanking in the screenshare. I think that is by design. They probably limiting so you use the sharing screen as reference without being too taxing on your system. It reminds me a bit of the N64 Mario Kart, haha.

Not sure if I'd be using much the camera even if I buy one, hahaha.
Also how going from mouse to control mode seems to be seamless without needing to use a menu.

Also Soul Calibur II, did they had mercy on me and are giving me another chance to try to redo this game and get all the tools for Link, because I'll do it!

Metroid Prime 4 is looking reeeeal good.

Quite a lot to unpack here, but for those who want to watch the direct here it is:

I am happy they explained better the joycons and the C button: Game chat!
- Microphone being able to filter and pick up your voice while on dock mode.
- Can share your gaming screen even when playing different games.
- Can buy a camera to show your face while chatting.

Game share - That is pretty neat being able to lend out the digital games, I just wonder if we can lend to the same person multiple times ina row or if there will be some sort of limit to avoid people finishing gams and instead just hooking them into buying their own if 2 weeks is not enough.

NINTENDO GAMECUBE for NSO Expansion - Including The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

And what's this? Another Hyrule Warriors coming up?

What did you guys think of the features?

Yeah, I am awaiting for the Nintendo Direct before building up Hype. I guess if there was a big Zelda game rumoured I'd be more excited, but then again... I was still hoping for the Twilight princess and Windwaker remakes to make it to the switch before coming to pass.

Do you guys think we'll have it as good with the transfer of classic Zelda titles in the new console? The switch good a good amount with their NSO and their console made titles. 3DS was pretty good too, specially if you got Ambassador for being an early adopter.

Quote from Kyde

I was like damnit I just bought an OLED Switch lol

Hahaha. What a timing!

Hopefully we can still enjoy the Switch for a little it more while they announce stuff and create hype.

The joycon mouse rumoured functionality got my attention.

I am not too much into sports, but then again Captain Tsubasa got me into soccer from a young age, so I am sure they can make almost any sport exciting, hahah.

In that sense, yeah, it is not very often you see sport based anime.

The Secret Garden. I can't even defend it. I wasn't attracted to other cartoons like it , but this one got me curious.

It was also one of the few anime at its time that did not get its intro dubbed to Spanish, so this song lives rent free in my head.

Later on learned it was based on a book and there even is a movie. I suspect this anime was padded out with extra characters and stuff but I never got my hands in the book.

This is the trailer:

And here is a break down of it:

What are your thoughts on the console?

From left to right: Customary Attire, Disguise and Royal travel Attire.

To be honest I finished the game and didn't really do much to find the other costumes, but I am hoping this thread shows me just how much of a mistake that was, haha. Maybe you have a favourite.

Out of the main ones displayed in the image above, I like the first two. Specially the one with the Pony tail however, if I can be really honest. My favourite look is the Customary one, that is on the very left. I guess because it reminds me a lot of the one Young Adult Zelda used in Ocarina of Time.

I've been playing Echoes of Wisdom and having a good time with it. I didn't expect to scratch the pokemon gotta-catch-em-all itch with it, haha.

I am learning every echo I can to my own detriment.

UPDATE:

We had the Portable Zelda games in one zone and the console all as subfolders for their console. I've been meaning to unify a way to have:
A) The games easily accessible on Zelda Talk.
B) The games as subforums of the different Nintendo Consoles in the Gaming area

Basically my main beef was how many boards would be at the top before the discussion if we had all the Portable Zelda + Console Zelda on top of the Zelda Talk topics. That's almost a twenty forums to scroll. On the other hand I definitely get the old' school structure of consoles with the subforum for the Zelda game along with any other cool particular games we like to talk about often so we're keeping that.

Taking's advantage of my basic HTML knowledge inside of Zelda talk I made two categories that are nothing more than an excuse to have as their description a collection of links to each specific main Zelda game. I omitted side games like the Crossbow Training and the Warrior titles to keep the list neat and the spotlight on Zelda Talk.

I think it makes the forum index look neater while still allows us to quickly navigate to specific games without taking nearly as much space away from the topic index.

Hi, guys.

I just wanted to let you know I did a bit of tidying up in the forums.

• I decided to hide from the index the areas that are not being worked on at the moment. Areas like Zelda Network, Website News, etc. are still for the most part in the same locations and if you know the URL or their IDs you can access them easily. So for example, if you click in comments from our website, you can still access the Website News area. It is just not in the index for now.

• Wii U and the 3DS, have been tucked in the older consoles and handhelds folders.

I also want to work in restructuring a bit the boards, mostly the Zelda areas in a way that hopefully be okay with you.

If there's anything you reckon I need to look at, let me know. I don't have as much free time so I am going to be rolling these slowly.

I think it's been more than enough inaction and I love this place too much.

We also have a good chunk of stuff to talk about with the newest game and the movie in progress, haha.

Yeah, Wow. It has been 5 years. I never actually finished it.
I guess nowadays you could ask a AI generator for the image of Pocahontas and Link from A Link to the Past.

I'm kinda excited, but I like to reserve my judgment.

Haha. Fair enough.

It is a very weird feeling for me. to be completely honest at times it still feel like the it is just a rumour. I've lieved through decades of people faking movie posters and debating whether a movie would be a good idea or not.

In fact, I cannot think of a Zelda movie without thinking of that one fan film "The Hero of Time" by BNB Finishes. I remember how they talked about taking years to make it but then they tried to put it in small local cinemas or something similarly profit, if I remember correctly, and Nintendo fell on them straight away. it was close to Christmas so they let them have the online film but to be deleted right after. I mean there are some pretty interesting live action shorts around that will give me hope, but I also feel like it is going to be difficult to create a a movie that will be without controversy. I feel as a community of passionate fans there will be a lot of nitpicking in just a few moments of a teaser, haha.

So I am curious and I will probably will be there on first row when it comes to the movies but I am also keeping my excitement restrained until more is revealed.

With the technology we have today, I'm okay with it being live-action. As long as they don't make it too visually dark, like the DC movies.

I always thought the series would go really well in 2D animation or even CGI given the fantastic work of recent 3D films. CGI has definitely gotten better but also, point taken that this also applies to the CGI effects inserted in live action movies, a lot of the effects from studio to digital ones definitely blend better than what they did some decades ago, hahaha.

I think the first hurdle is going to be who they choose to play which roles.

Quote from Laxyak Loves LoZ

I think I'd prefer an adaptation just because I don't want them to add to the canon.

Oooh, that is an angle I hadn't even considered. I was thinking that I'd rather an original story so we don't pick apart every little thing they do differently to adapt it.

There's so much to talk and speculate, but I'll start with some questions and let you know my thoughts in the replies.

How do you guys feel about the revelation of a movie being in the works?

Are you okay with it being live action or do you think a different medium would suit it better?

Are you hoping for an adaptation or an original story?

Man, it's been a while.

Right now I am trying Opera, trying their gaming one. Looks like it'll take more resources but I am enjoying the (Zelda) themes.
Funny I originally downloaded it because it was clean, fast browser. I guess I can't help my cluttery-tendencies.

I am using Brave Browser.

I used to have Brave on my phone, it worked really nicely.
