Just a little over a week remaining.

For anyone trying to avoid spoilers and leaks, it's time to tread carefully.

An artbook entitled The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts is now available in the west.

Currently making my way through Oracle of Seasons. We'll see if I can't beat it before BotW drops.

In between that weird pope thing that sent everybody into a rage and that blatantly wrong Metroid Fusion video how does Mat-Pat still have any credibility?

they're not matpat's theories

well except for the link vs. link video, but it's not really a "credibility" issue; you're just being stupid

there's a reason why he says "it's just a theory" at the end of every video

Verbatim · February 27, 2017, 02:15:26 PM

Game's officially been leaked, so take care not to get spoiled.

Turkey · February 27, 2017, 07:18:51 PM

Initial reviews are claiming the game is actually pretty tough (Polygon says it's the hardest Zelda game period) -- further cementing my belief that Dark Souls is just a gloomy take on the Zelda formula. But it's also really exciting, because as much as I enjoyed Majora's Mask, I thought it was unforgivably easy (the combat, not the puzzles).

Verbatim · February 27, 2017, 07:27:00 PM

Yeah, from the demos, the blue Bokoblins alone were dealing 2¾ damage in a single swing. That is very exciting.

Anything within Zelda II's range of difficulty is super welcome. The problem with difficulty in Zelda games, I think, is that they become exponentially easier the more hearts you get--evidently, that's not a problem this time around? Will we see enemies dealing 8+ hearts worth of damage and shit?

The system where you get temporary hearts from cooked meals looks like a very smart way to curb that, too.

Verbatim · February 27, 2017, 07:29:43 PM

Also, I think it was Reggie who confirmed that there's enough varieties of food in the game to go vegetarian, or perhaps even vegan. I may actually try a vegan run.

Ive heard some things on 4chan that sound too absurd to be true......but they kinda make sense.

I wonder.....we'll soon see

Iron knuckles in Majora's Mask frightened me because of that.

I read somewhere pretty early on that the Guardians are meant to be able to kill you off a single hit.

The thread on Zelda Dungeon didn't discuss the specifics, but it was implied in the OP that it would be under all conditions in the game yes.

Gatortag · March 01, 2017, 09:46:05 PM

World map compared to Skyrim and other Zeldas. I wouldn't consider it a spoiler, there's like no map legend or icons. It's literally empty, it shows the land and that's it. I hope the map is more like other games in the actual game.

Verbatim · March 02, 2017, 10:30:51 AM

Just 12 hours and 30 minutes--for me, at least.

Gatortag · March 02, 2017, 12:33:33 PM

Wow, 98 on Metacritic. Not many games hit 90+ anymore. I'll be getting it on my Switch which SHOULD come in tomorrow. Hope the framerate issues aren't too bad. If the Switch is having problems though, hate to see what it's like on the Wii U.
