    What did Breath of the Wild 2 do now?

    Very brief clip of Zelda falling into a bottomless pit, the other minute or two showing Link going around.

    The trailer could be described as "When Link is stuck with Zelda, she drags him into the underworld like an oppressive, ponderous weight. But once she has been cast into the pit, he is free to soar among the clouds and have grand adventures."

    Oh God is Zelda Eve and Link is Adam and Gannon is the Serpent or something.

    I would buy a Zelda game where Zelda was the main character even though I do not like Zelda games.

    Not only is it 2 hours from COB for state government offices, but we've received nothing from both our Governor or our Director here at my job even acknowledging Juneteenth.

    Like I don't mean they said we have to work today, I mean they didn't even acknowledge it was signed yesterday in a "hey good job America" email that they've done for every other event in history.

    L.O.L.

    Is there a longer trailer? The one I saw is like "here's some dark shit doing something, Zelda falls into a pit, Link goes on adventures presumably to rescue her, more dark shit". But I've never played BotW1 so maybe the dark shit means something.

    I'm mostly just being melodramatic and channeling some of the mythology and symbolism stuff I get into. It's just "Link and Zelda slowly and carefully explore underground" -> "Zelda Falls in Pit" -> "Link is falling out of the sky to do cool stuff alone".

    Nintendo in general seems to have pretty old fashioned views on gender roles and representation. I'm early into a playthrough of BotW and it's chock full of cringey portrayals of women.

    I've paid down about $2,500 of that in the last month. Granted buying the bed set me back, but I'm still paying things off as fast as I can and I'm looking at my collection for things to sell.

    Ahh. I don't get "playable Zelda" from that video but I can see why people would want to play as Zelda regardless.

    Given how little personality either has, why not just make them a character select option? You pick Link, Zelda goes in the fridge. You pick Zelda, Link goes in the fridge. Would probably change nothing. Same everything, just different character skin.


    PS -As a young kid it confused the hell out of me that the Legend of Zelda game's main character was not called Zelda.

    Is kind of like stupid powerful. She finished off Ganon with a sun she created in the middle of a field.

    Aside from the mechanics, the look and feel of the game, Link's outfits, the environments, the music, and weapons breaking BotW is pretty garbage, it's true.


    The only Zelda game I've played that has story and characters that aren't worthless is Majora's Mask, coincidentally the best game of all time.

    Yeah the default board in every printing of Dune is too small. I was tempted by the may but Im never gonna actually get a full table together for the game as it is :)

    Back at game night at greenlake games there were several people with hand made custom boards. This was prior to the recent reprint though.
