    If you have been on the fence regarding this game or if you are a Zelda collection that wants to get Breath of the Wild goodies, I have good news for you... unless you are not from the United States. Feel free to sit with me and resign to either be quick, get luck to order it online or just pass it up.

    Nintendo of America has announced a bundle for this year Holiday Seasons called "Explorer's Edition". It might not be the big box of the release Deluxe edition but these two items I am sure can be appreciated by the fans of the game.


    ■ A two-sided map of the wilds of Hyrule
    ■ A 150 pages long guide with tips.

    Best of all is that the suggested Retail price is the same as the standard edition. So it is quite an enticing option coming out on Novemeber 23th.

    Are you intersted in getting it?

    That's really cool!
    Feel free to embed all the songs in your thread.
    I like it, it is a very nice tribute. Was it hard to get the song the way you wanted?


    "On the media upload"

    By the way, I noticed you tried to embed in the media so edited your upload to include an embed of the file. I am sorry it cannot be displayed directly but through the caption field, you can use the BBCode just like in any post so I went ahead and made your links clickable there. So if you want to upload more media feel free to do so even if you also share it in this same thread. Whatever works for you.

    Back to the start of the year, we had two Nintedo big IPs coming out this year to the Switch many of us got crazy about: :Loz:: :BotW: and Mario Odyssey.

    For some reason that eludes me we haven't even talked ab9ut the later at all here. Let's fix that!

    For starters, I love the music trailer and theme song they are using to push the game.

    Thanks. I will do this straight away. :-D

    But I still encourage our switch owners to share it here as well, to make easier to find add other people through this thread.

    I am up for Mario Kart 8 Dx and Splatoon 2 (turf and Salmon Run mostly) and hopefilly soon other multiplayer games.

    As you can corroborate from their official website, a few days ago the Nintendo Switch got updated to version 4. While there have been other updates before, this one has brought a very welcome feature: Now we can record video footage.

    Admittedly, it is pretty basic. You can only record up to 30 seconds and the recording quality is pretty low. Considering that with the Wii U we could share full clips on Youtube, it is kind of disappointing it is not even an option.

    We also got new icons to choose for your account, including six from Breath of the Wild.

    According to News.com there are more new features, including one that hasn't been explicitly mentioned in the update notes, which is support for the USB devices through the dock of the console, such as wireless headphones. Other changes:

    ■ Now you can transfer your user and save data (including eShop purchases) from one switch to another, so if you are sharing, buying a system for you doesn't mean you have to start over.

    ■ Pre-purchase option so you can avoid the download congestion and have your game already downloaded to your console and ready to play as soon as it reaches the release date.

    ■ Cosmetic changes to the News channel and fixing the bug where the unfollowed content was still being displayed on the news screen.


    What did you guys think of the update?

    I know, I know. I should've made a general Splatoon 2 topic. However, that wouldn't be enough for me. I think I have a problem. I am addicted to that mode. Every time is going on I want to jump right in.
    Today for the first time I was able to play with three friends, and boy that was pretty fun. Time flew right out of the window.

    I've joined Splatoon discord channels just for the hope of finding a team to tag along with. I don't know exactly why I find it more compelling than irritating but I wanted to have a place to discuss it in this community so here we go.

    Use this thread to talk about the Salmon Run mode, show us some of your captures and even organise some gaming sessions. Expect me to share my twitter shares in the mode and some captures here. :lol:

    I know that feeling of helplessness too. I hope it's okay for me to say this, but why don't you expand your horizons kaynil? I don't know anything about Zelda but I like the community here. I would love to drop by one in a while but I don't know what to talk.... So.....


    Don't sweat. I am always eager for people to speak to speak their mind regarding things. You are as much part of this community as anyone else. I don't want to make you and other people feel alienated simply for not knowing or caring enough about the franchise. Although I want the niche of the forum to be Zelda, in no way I want to make this thread sound like I want to discourage the discussion of non-Zelda topics, I simply want in addition to them to make sure we do have something Zelda related to provide for people joining for our niche. So by all means, don't let our identity as a Zelda community intimidate you. If you want to talk about Anime or anything else you care about, bring it on. Above everything else I want this to be a community. I want members to make bonds and good memories. :J

    So, it's not surprise my life got thrown around and I ended up having very little presence here which in turn brought everything down. I sincerely apologise for that.

    I love Zelda and I want to make this work. When I started a Zelda Community of my own there were three things I wanted from it:
    1. For it to be friendly
    2. For it to actually thrill in Zelda discussion
    3. For it to be engaging.

    In the past the idea of a huge success frightened me and it has always pushed me down. I don't think Zelda Cavern deserves that. I think we need to aim to be our best version yet. I want you guys to enjoy being here and to create bonds like the ones I created when I was younger and frequented communities.

    I still want to unify sections, appearances, prefixes, smilies, etc between both sides so I will be gathering your opinions on different matters to apply changes that will make the community easier to navigate, get some recurrent events and promote more engagement and Zelda discussion.

    My computer is fixed. Tomorrow I am getting some kickass desk to comfortable spend hours tweaking behind the scenes and posting around. I will begin to advertise and possibly get us some additional trustworthy staff to help us around.

    Before that, I want to take a look on the current staff to organise ourselves. This year I have learned from other communities how to better act as a leader and staff member and I am eager to apply what I have learned. I know I haven't been the best leader and I want to turn that around. Thank you for bearing with me.

    If there is anything, in particular, you would like to see happening here. I am interested to hear it.

    Thank you.

    So, an old complain I can recall is the way we have the Zelda games sections, which some people find tedious. In the Spanish side of the community, a long while ago we discussed the possibility of putting some games together but trying to still try to make it something more original than the classic portable, retro, newer game approach many forums have.

    In the Spanish side of the community, we have each Zelda game straight in the index, in order of release. This makes them easy to spot and makes most of the index Zelda related. However, this also showcases the disproportional amount of discussion according to the games and as more games get released it will only grow longer and longer.

    Anyway, the idea if we go by timeline is creating four sections:
    one for the Pre-OoT games
    One for the Fallen hero
    One for the Adult Hero
    One for the Young hero

    ...hmm... where could we place BotW? :XD:

    Anyway, the names would be taken from Hyrule Historia, not this ones I am typing at 3 am. Hahah.
    I am open and eager for ideas. Thank you!

    The games themselves in each section could be separated with prefixes. :)

    It's time. The wecond DLC is almost here and many have completed the game. I think we can have a discussion on this matter.

    BotW gas shown elements from the 3 timelines and I have seen plenty of YT videos advocating for BotW placement on each of them. So what do you think?

    You got Koroks, Ritos a mention of Twilight and Ganon being mindless and with multiple revivals among other things.

    What kind of error did you have when trying to post that picture in the past?


    For some reason it said that the extension didn't match the file content. Which is weird because
    1. I know I didn't tampered with the file.
    2. The file was in the same extension as the rest of the pictures from my mobile camera (JPEG)
    At first I thought it was Tapatalk and that the file was too big or something. Then I tried directly on the browser and I thought it was just my mobile browser not being able to process it correctly.
    Lastly when I passed it into the computer I had those errors so I just gave up. I didn't have the picture in a place easy to grab so by then I pretty much had decided to wait until I needed to dust off the box where I kept it and took another image.
    Luckily the snipping Tool seemed to work alright.


    My roommate is a builder and usually have projects involving cutting wood, he's very talented and needs to give himself more credit, but my asthma wakes up with the sawdust so I have been avoiding the courtyard. Today I brought my stuff upstairs I have no idea where or how will I rearrange things, but I am hoping I can produce more art.

    I'll be taking pictures and showing you here. :vio:

    *some time after*
    Wow, close to a year now and I haven't done anything. Maybe I should change that. :P


    *Even more months after the last comment*
    Wow. Half a year passsed before I changed that.

    Anyway, for those of you that follow me on twitter or instagram this might no come as a surprise. I am working in a Breath of the Wild painting.

    I am usually working once a week on it so it will take me a little while. Using acrylics.

    So it's been a while since the game camd out so it is safe to have a thread to openly discuss the moments from infiltrating the Castle to the full ending of the game.

    What did you think of Calamity Ganon? Was it difficult? Was it satisfying?

    Did you explore the Castle or did you rush straight to the final battle?

    I hadn't thought much on that. I always assumed the other world was the Sacred Realm and that they were alive but now bounded into their responsibilities so they couldn't continue their normal life they had before being awakened.

    Another reason I didn't assume they ascended to sages after their life was claimed is that we see Ganondorf destroying a sage in a Twilight Princess cut scene. I assumed he killed the sage then and not their spirit.

    I always took Saria's quote as the realusation he was a Hylian and not a Kokiri.

    Anyway, following that logic then someone else would have to become a sage but I guess for Link that is mist lilely a dungeon he doesn't have to do if Darunia does it before him. :XD:

    Watched Logan Lucky, out of curiosity mostly as some stars play quite different roles from what comes to mind when I see their names.

    Popcorn movie. You gotta suspend some beliefs (like work security protocols ). The chemistry between the different actors works well.

    Updating the trailer on Pete's Dragon.


    Ended up not watching it. Might watch on Netflix but I am not that interested.


    I watched Beauty and the Beast. It was alright, I guess. It was based on the musical so there's a lot of singing. They tried to add more sense with a new tool and background but the new tool opens some plotholes and they never do much with the shoehorned background.

    Anyway, I think the fad is slowly dying out. Any keepers?
