  • Lets Begin

    Welcome, welcome.
    That's pretty cool you like Zelda so much to have fb page. Thank you for taking the te to create your account and let us know a bit more about you, Sir Syndicate. :-D

  • Comparison between U and Switch

    There are some differences, from what I heard, mostly in lighting effects and draw distance but other than that you are getting pretty much the same.

    I think the switch os a technological upgrade but not all the way, as Nintendo never been into pushing to the limit. But the bump is good to get to a very nice portable / home console hybrid.
    This video cover the the first minutes of the game.

  • POSSIBLE SPOILERS: Progress?

    Quote from Link

    Yeah Im to lazy to go back on my Wii U version now. I only have like 54 there


    Well, I am not an uber completionist myself. I think doing everything on one file to know exactly what you get is fine, then next plays you can focus on the stuff that you might actually care from the shrines like the climbing gear.
    This is not my most recent, but still from this month

    I have located more shrines that I just haven't gone through.

  • Trial of the Sword

    This comes from the first DLC. It is my understanding some of you have already beaten it. I just had a small go and I made the mistake of not preparing myself for it. So anyone reading this, make sure to buff in hearts and attack or defence before heading in as they will keep your buffs and hearts as the starting point.

    I only made it to the first breather through the beginner part. Since it goes by "floors" it kind of reminded me the Arcades n Fighting games where you test your endurance by going battle after with whatever health you had left from the last battle and just a small chance to recover just a fraction before heading out again.

    Anyway, it sounds like a pretty fun challenge. Since you can't save while you are into it I had to leave unfinished but I would like to be able to finish it before facing Ganon, as I am sure it could help me to better my fighting skills as right now I am a total clutz.


    For those who have beaten it, what did you think of it? What did you like and didn't like about it?

  • Pokémon GO

    I am back to it. There have been changes since last time we discussed it here. It is a good excuse to walk around during the morning. It is interesting the raid mechanic and the changes to the Gyms.

  • Vaati

    It amuses me this thread got bumped today. Last tuesday we did a podcast for the Spanish side of the communities and I was talking about Vaati.

    I basically see him as a mixture of other villains but without going to the extreme. He has multiple transformations and he has a humanoid begining (like Ganon), shows some childish pranking traits like turning his master into a hat when he forbade him touching the granting-wishing one (just like skull kid turned Kafei into a kid).

    For me Vaati is more chaos than just plain evil. He likes to play with pray to amuse himself rather than going for the straight kill. He is a show off, who rather than stopping Link, he underestimated him and taunted him right until he was in the final battle when Link gave him a spank that made him realise his mistake.

    He is also fond of the ladies, being the first thing when he is released to kidnap the beautiful lady he saw to force her to marry him.

    If :FSA: is anything to go by, he was never the big shot he thought of himself, having Ganon using him as a mere distraction to slow Link as he knew Vaati would be defeated.

    Anyway, an interesting character that got my attention from the begining. As it seems like have the circumstances been different he would had just been a trickster picori but his obsession to be the best and his attraction to the dark hearts twisted him until he became that one-eyed purple blub with tweezers and overly small wings.

  • Is the Wii U dead?

    Ever since the release of the switch console and Breath of the Wild for both platforms, there has been some online debate regarding the status of the Wii U.

    The same console that people were loud about Nintendo flopping and how they should abandon ship is now often talked around on how Nintendo better not pull the plug on it just yet or how by comparison the Switch doesn't offer much to jump on it.

    Nintendo has ceased production of the console, however there are a few games still being cross released for it, but it feels like Nintendo has decided to focus
    their efforts on the Switch and 3DS. The Wii U is on its way out, but at what point will you consider it dead? Is it when the switch was released? Is it when iy stops beimg manufacyured? Will it be after the last game (even ports) being released for it?


    Some people feel like the Wii U, despite its low-comings was given a fair timeframe and it is a good thing to move on while other people feel unfairly left behind just when the console was passing the struggles and getting the good stuff - like :BotW:, the game that many Wii U owners waited through the years and compelled more than a few of them to adopt the system early on.

    So who decides when a console is dead: the fans or the company?

    How do you feel about this situation?

  • Pretending to talk on the phone

    So today I was on the mall when I decided to test my mobile voice recorder. So I pretended I was doing a phone call in order to force myself to raise my voice a little. My first recording was so shy and quiet given how noisy the mall is. I was still feeling embarrassed but it seemed to help me boost my volume enough to actually record my voice. It felt eternal.

    Anyway, it is a common trope the one of people pretending to receive a call or starting one, usually to get out of situations they don't like. For example setting their alarm with their ring tone and pretending that was a call to get excused.

    Have you ever done it or know someone that did? Any stories to share?

  • BotW Mission 1: Blood Moon selfies!

    Surely you have heard or been part of this already. Since BotW came out people didn't lose an opportunity to take selfies with the Blood moon just before the cutscene.

    Classic example:

    Blood Moon classic selfie


    I would love for us to make a collection. If you own :TLoZ:: BotW:, please make Link take a selfie and post it here! I will make sure to compensate with a medal for your profile.

    You noticed this is called Mission 1. This is because I want us to have more BotW related activities we can take part of around the forums and have each of them be an opportunity to claim a badge for anyone willing to participate.

    So go ahead and post your Blood Moon selfies.

  • Akkala Tower Climb Spot

    Quote from graffix.420

    Interesting, wish I would have read this post sooner. What I ended up doing is getting to the point where you're standing near the archway, then I used the amiibo that drops metal boxes (can't remember which one it is, maybe the guardian?), after the metal boxes dropped I was able to delicately stack them high enough so that I could jump/glide to a spot past the slime!


    That's pretty resourceful!
    I am actually quite happy you told us what you did here, haha.

  • Zelda in the future

    I am not sure what will they do but I am very interested to see.
    Zelda games surely won't feel the same going back to the past formula so I doubt it'd be completely back to it, at the same time I don't know if they will make BotW the new standard mold or if they want to incorporate more from the past games and have the next one be a merge. I imagine for now they will squeeze what they can on BotW with the DLC before a new game starts the production stage. I wonder what are we going to be getting.

  • How do you deal with haters online?

    Darn. That's quite hard to deal with. I am sorry you are going through that. :(
    I wish I had some first-hand experience to share with you, but as you know myself I have been pretty shy to make my own videos and stuff.

    Trolls look for reactions and any sort of acknowledgement so don't give them that. Don't mention the situation in your videos, don't engage with them just try your best to ignore them.
    Another thing that comes to mind is to check out Rebecca Black's vlogs. I am sure you probably can remember the fiasco on the song "Friday" that the internet labelled as the worst ever. She had to deal with a lot of crap and harassment that no doubt still follows her so whatever tips she has to offer on the matter are very well worth consideration.

    I think right now, it might be best not to read the comments in your videos if you know the majority are going to bring you down. At least until this calms down.
    The best tip I've received about it is that it is out f our control what people think about us. accepting some people will think bad things about us that is not intrinsically good or bad, just what happens we all have people we like and dislike and we have at some point claimed to dislike someone we don't know based on the what the media says. We choose to dislike the projection, the shell we have of that person and just like that the trolls you have are hating the projection they constructed based on whatever video the atheist used to mock you.

    I hope it all gets calmer for you in your channel soon. I am sorry you have to endure this. >_<

  • The Steam forums

    Steam already limits you a lot of what you can do until you add at least 5 bucks to your wallet to spend them in a game. I guess the limitations are in order to prevent bot accounts, dupe accounts, foul play in general, but I find it dumb to limit the community as that is basically a support point where new members can ask and learn the ropes. I think that closing this door is going to make many of those newcomers too frustrated to continue. Although to be fair I am just going by my own impression, I haven't really informed myself of this decision and the impact it has had so far.
