I finished the Wind Waker remake on Friday night. I wish I had remembered that they trimmed down the Triforce hunt so much, otherwise I wouldn't have stalled out for three weeks as soon as I realized it was starting.
So, to continue my 3D Zelda nostalgia tour, I started up Twilight Princess, which is my personal #3 (after LttP and Link's Awakening). And... it looks like a portal to the leaky butthole dimension on my TV. It feels pretty weird to remember how impressed I was with these graphics at one point. The setting is still atmospheric as hell though, and it has some of my favorite dungeons in the franchise, so I can put up with it being kind of murky. The motion controls on the other hand... ugh. I'm super disappointed to find out the classic controller isn't compatible with Wii games on the Wii U. I feel like I'm doing permanent damage to my wrist with all this controller flailing.
Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan
The way Wii games look when running through my Wii U never ceases to disappoint me.
Edit: wait, do you mean the Wii Classic Controller? Because that's absolutely compatible with Wii games on the Wii U. Xenoblade would be literally unplayable if it weren't. Twilight Princess itself isn't but that's no fault of the Wii U.

Looks like I have every mask now! Except for the Stone Mask of course
Time to power on through the rest of this so I can finally move on to Link Between Worlds
I would be pretty miffed if this Zelda U isn't a Wii U exclusive. The entire reason I bought the system was on the back of the Zelda demo they showed.
I'm aware there other games out for the system and that they're undoubtedly good games. But I don't want to play them.
wait
are you saying you bought a wii u on the basis of a few minutes of footage they showed off of a game that at the time was over a year away, and you haven't/aren't planning using it for anything else

Really? Huh. Outside of like the Bunny Hood I'd rate the stone mask as one of the most generally useful masks

yes.
Since Nintendo has a long and storied history of not producing enough product (look at current amibos, and damn near any collectors edition of any game they've ever made), I bought a zelda console on good faith.

You should get that mask before you beat the game
Well I haven't done Stone Tower yet and that's where you get it

I've started wearing the Majora's Mask pin on my overcoat (yes it's April, but it's still snowing in Toronto)
I don't usually wear or carry around anything remotely fannish because I hate people asking, but I really don't mind in this case. Also it's so cool looking
I think I see what people are talking about with the swimming controls
And they were worse before?
Yes and no.
In the original version, Zora Link always moved in the manner and speed he does when you have the lightning shield turned on in the 3DS version. Unless you were just doing the basic dog paddle regular Link can also do.
The 3DS version is worse because you cant go as fast without burning magic.
But in my opinion ZL's new base swim speed is much more controllable for exploring and what not, and isn't really that much slower. Also the circle pad is just plain more accurate than the N64's control stick, or emulations there of. It's still not great, but it's manageable.
They also removed most of the forced dolphin jumps from the 3DS version, so moving at full speed isn't as important.
...until you get to a bit right near the end of the game which they redesigned to be all about dolphin jumps so hell if I know what they were trying to do.
Well, after you finish the tower, you go straight to Hyrule castle, so if you've returned to Windfall Island, then you've probably already done that and are on the next part, which is the triforce shard/chart hunt.
Although if you're on the Wii-U version it isn't so bad. Some of the charts are replaced with the triforce shards , which makes the whole thing less of a headache.
These moon dungeons are going to cause me to have a goddamn stroke

The Part at the start, where you're bouncing around? Don't bother steering for that part. Long as you start right, you'll make all the bounces, and any attempt to steer is liable to screw you up.

The Classic controller is compatible though
It's just that tp doesn't support it

I'm going to be picking up Dragon Quest Heroes mostly because I had such a good time with HW.
And I don't even have any of the DLC for HW yet.
Feels good, man
DQ Heroes is not a lot like Hyrule Warriors or Dynasty Warriors .
It's more tower defense oriented apparently. You can also have minions fight for you
When I was young, that mask was the most precious thing I'd ever earned in a game

want to play my zelda on my zelda controller!

No it's not

is talking about the giant's mask not the stone mask, i think
I have the Stone Mask but not the Giant's Mask
I got mixed up
If you fight it again you have unique attacks against the other worm
if the second worm required two fewer sequences to defeat it would have been perfect

I can't remember what I did or what I'm doing.
I have all three pearls and the bow and when I go to the hero tower thingie, it appears that the map is completed.
I talked to everyone on the island and they were no help.
How do I figure out where I am in the game?!
Talk to yo boat.
going to need to up my wallet lol

Otherwise some of these seem sort of like a waste of time
