>Zelda is....

>>8904168
Wait why did he go there anyway? Was Link's uncle also the chosen one who could hear Zelda's voice?

>>8904168
because he's mario.

>>8904170
>.... your sister

>>8904208
>you now realise that Tarin in Link's Awakening was not the first Mario cameo
Mind blown

>>8904225
yeah. basically
im pretty sure every in -house Nintendo game has "Mario" in it somewhere

>>8904170

>>8904202
They're from the same lineage, why not?

>>8904168
He was just resting his eyes.

>>8904386
fucking lazy bastard

>>8904386
No, he really did die. Like King of Hyrule was turned into a skeleton or something during the intro. The Triforce just revived everyone

>>8904170
Is there a canon answer to what he was going to say? This has been bothering me since 1991

>>8904404
It's the same as the answer you give when people ask you why you larp as a boomer.

>>8904407
Protip: actual boomers talk more about Atari than they do about Nintendo

>>8904409
Don't reply to my posts with random factoids.

>>8904414
We all know you were thrilled just to get a (You), you whore

>>8904386
What the fuck I don't even remember this

>>8904409
If we're being honest, actual boomers don't talk or think about video games at all. Back in the 80s, my boomer dad dug a pong machine out of his mother's attic for me to play with. He was too old for Atari.

>>8904414
Did (you) know that Super Mario Bros. 2 was originally a Japanese game called Donkey Donkey Picnic?

>>8904404
Two options, I suppose.
>your step-sister
ohh yeah, we can bone
>your sister
... fuck it, let's bone anyway

>>8904168
it's too bad after picking a sword and shield off his corpse that if you leave the room and come back he's no longer there, as the rats have eaten him

>>8904404
I have always assumed he was going to say "your only hope"

>>8904236
Sure does.

>>8904168
He just wanted to protect his nephew

>>8904638
Why would she be Link's only hope? Was he just a shiftless loser or something before he picked up the sword?

>>8904404
>>8904638
He said something like 'You are Zelda's last hope' in the Japanese version if I recall correctly

>>8904404
Is there anything in the leaked source code about this?

>>8904934
You recall incorrectly.
https://legendsoflocalization.com/qa-link-zelda-is-your/

>>8904168
There was only one bed in Links house..

>>8904928
Well, yeah. He wouldn't have embarked on his quest if he hadn't listened to her telepathic plea in the first place. His uncle was just reinforcing that to him, either because he just already knew what had happened to the royal family or because he could hear what she was saying as well.

>>8904938

>>8904937
?

>>8904805
>H

>>8904937
>but if I were playing this for the first time ever, my initial instinct says that he was planning to say, “You are the princess’ only hope.” in the Japanese version.
Yeah I think I read this article and that's why I remembered it incorrectly. It's basically the same in the Japanese version. Maybe Nintendo intended to make Link and Zelda related

>>8904168
Manga version is better

>>8904463
It's in the credits. Link's wish on the Triforce reverses everything Ganon did.

>>8905037
that's his cousin Hario

>>8904946
if it was intended to be "you are the princesses only hope" in English you might finish "Zelda is your..." With what?
"Zelda is your mission now?" "Zelda is your step sis wink wink" "Zelda is your clone and this is a simulation"

>>8904928
He's the last of the bloodline of hyrule knights, at the very least the ones that were not corrupted and controlled by evil. One of the crystal maidens mentions this shit and it finally made sense why some rando is the last hope. It's not great writing because MUH CHOSEN ONE but whatever.

>>8904938
they're paranoid people that sleep in shifts

>>8904632
I always assumed the guards came and got his body and buried him in the cemetery.

>>8905278
So really, there should be a side mission where you dig him up, and he becomes your zombie ally

>>8904946
The word order in Japanese is different though, a perfectly literal translation would be
>You ... of the princess.

>>8904935
There could be. I remember reading an interview with the devs somewhere and they said it was part of an earlier plotline that they left in by accident.

>>8904414
Did you know that the original name for Pac-Man was Puck-Man? You'd think it was because he looks like a hockey puck but it actually comes from the Japanese phrase 'Paku-Paku,' which means to flap one's mouth open and closed.

>>8904632
He simply vanishes into nothing, like the Sanctuary priest does after he dies.

>>8904386
>recovers
>just to die again later
What's even the point?

>>8904208
>>8904225
>>8904236
Really? I thought of rupee shop owner.

>>8905037
Hentario

>>8904170
I'm going to be boring and I think he was going to say "Zelda is your destiny"

>>8904946
>You are the princess' only hope

>>8905556
Actually somewhat inaccurate. While it's true the name is derived from paku-paku, the actual Japanese pronunciation of "Pakkuman." Because Japanese speech is more limited than English, words can have multiple valid Romanizations. Puckman was likely based on the hockey puck shape and decided for the sake of Western localization, as the "Pakkuman" name would be lost on non-Japanese audiences. After realizing that Puckman could be vandalized by turning the P into an F, they changed it to the equally-valid Romanization, Pac-Man. This is why despite the Romanization changing, the Japanese spelling パックマン has always stayed the same. Japan even adopted this Romanization for home ports and sequels.

>>8904404
>>8904937
It's a very real possibility. The manga's art was super super amazing for its year, and a fun read. I wouldn't be surprised if it charmed the dev team in some small way.

>>8905912

Zelda's mom.

>>8905926
Soooo... he wears those rubber bumpers on his head and shoulders? Weird.

>>8905869
That was exactly what I was getting at here: >>8904638
The line immediately brought to mind the Princess Leia hologram when I played this game as a kid.

>>8905912
>>8905926
>>8905938
I don't think this has any canon to the series

>>8905943
I mean it's no surprise
A lot of Nintendo stuff originally took some inspiration from movies

>>8905946
Read what I said.

>>8905949
Don't get me started on the Metroid/Alien comparisons.

>>8904805
is this loss?

>>8904168
the dude that made'''pic related'' miss the rain and thunder, that was the most impactfull thing fist time i played

>>8905943
Star Wars was super popular, especially in Japan, so you get a lot of media made in the 90's by people who grew up on Star Wars. A standard "Star Wars setting" of good guy rebels versus the evil empire is totally a thing too.

>oh good.. freakin ganon... again

>>8904168
>first
Don't be silly. Motherfucker killed dozens, you just don't see them because unlike your pansy-ass, your uncle kills them permanently. The first one you see is just the first one he didn't annihilate.

>>8906232
>pansy-ass
Anon please go back to middle school, put this term back on the shelf you found it, and then leave it there.

>>8906257
not him but what the fuck is this post? you're trying too hard

>>8904168
>Dies to very first green soldier
the fall did him in, also wtf you talking about, he doesn't die

>>8904170
"Zelda is" is a complete sentence.

>>8906258
>you're trying too hard
I find that when people say this, what they really mean to say is "you're spreading yourself too thin"
Because trying too hard is not a bad thing.
And as for my correction, I don't think I'm doing that either, birthday boy.

>>8906434
holy shit this guy is fucking cool.

>>8906434
what?

>>8906442
Yeah, keep walking, birthday boy.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

>>8906445
haha i won this text based mmo

>>8906442
Man look at the birthday boy over here.

>>8906434

>>8904168
He was thinking that Link is the chosen one, but it's too risky to expose Link to danger because he may not be ready, so better that he go out to deal with the danger and protect Link so that he can survive until he is ready to face his destiny.

wheres my game where i get to play as fat uncle mario with a samurai sword

“Birthday boy” is probably going to be present in my internal monologue whenever I go out for the next week or two at least. So hardboiled

>>8906462
Absolute birthday boy.

>>8904493
It's like when your dog tries to help with the cleaning. awww.

>>8904216
they're related in OoT so could be true in aLttP as well

>>8906675
They aren't though

>>8906675
wut?

>>8906434
>Because trying too hard is not a bad thing.
Actually it can be.
Let's say for instance, you want to swing your sword, so you press the swing sword button.
Now let's say you REALLY want to swing your sword, so you FUCKING PRESS DOWN HARD on that button. Pressing it harder doesn't gain more sword swinging, and in fact pressing the button harder, instead of in a calm like manner, could result in damaging the controller physically and messing up your sword swinging tempo due to pressing harder increasing the time you spend pressing the button longer but not increasing the time spent swinging your sword because the button doesn't respond to the length of time that the button is pressed (pressing the button harder will result in the button being held slightly longer), but it registers multiple presses, so you must press, release, and press again at a particular rate of pressing to elicit the most sword swings per second that the game will register.
Hope this puts things in perspective.
Your fart huffing behavior may just be your undoing, if you're not careful.

I wish Link's sword and his shield were treated as if they were any other item in the game allowing you to have 4 noncombat items at once if you wanted. I dont like the importance nintendo began to place on the (easy) zelda combat

>>8906717
>I dont like the importance nintendo began to place on the (easy) zelda combat
2D games always have combat that feels at least somewhat natural and rewarding.
3D combat is kind of ass.

>>8906725
i was kind of blown away going back to alttp and needing to actually think a little more about when and where i want to swing my sword or feeling clever for using an item that had a helpful side affect on an enemy.
is chanbara combat kind of...shit?

>>8906730
I don't think I ever used a puzzle item to help me kill enemies in the 3D Zeldas.

>>8904168
>fat
>bald
>ugly
Obviously his plan was to cuck Link but it failed

>>8904168
idk dude was pretty based taking care of his mentally retarded nephew who couldn't do anything but grunt and scream

>>8906740
thats only the GBA version, in the SNES version hes just totally mute which is arguably worse

>>8904216
I mean, canonically speaking every Link has banged every Zelda. There's like thousands of years of incest going on here.

>>8904946
he was warning Link that Zelda is his enemy, she was behind everything

>>8906745
source?

>>8906759
it was her fuckup that caused the time paradox in OoT so im not ruling anything out

zelda is too high brow of a series for time travel shit

Another dream game would be sweet

>>8904168
Maybe uncle attacked the castle head on, marchee into the prison and got the princess. Then on his way out was slain and the princess was retaken. Then the guards doubled up guarong the gates and link had to be sneaky to get past.
After all the pathway to the secret tunnel was closed up. Maybe he was planning on using the tunnel to escape not get in.
Then Zelda tells link to use the tunnel to get in.

>canon in zelda

Give it up bruh, no one gives a shit about "canon" in Japan and they only made the timeline to sell a book to autistic westerners which they just copied from online theories that had been around for 10 years

>>8907452
couldn't give a shit about the timeline mate but your books are not the games, so it has no bearing

>>8904168

over 5

>>8907469
not him but did you even read his post? you have like zero comprehension. maybe should have spent less time on zelda as a kid and more time paying attention in school

When will we get a Zelda game with the Oedipus ending?

>>8904168
Did you not see that army of mace wielders, bowmen, and soldiers you had to fight through to get to the castle? No? Your welcome.

No it hasn't. You didn't play the game in 1991. You weren't even alive in 1991. You're a meme posting, Youtube cancer watching, shit posting asshole who doesn't know duck beyond whatever LOLFUNNY bullshit you see regurgitated online ad nauseum. Fuck you.

lmao what, 2D Zelda games have notoriously bad combat. say what you want about 3D Zelda but OoT-TP had fantastic swordplay.

>>8909790
Easily

>>8909875
I genuinely prefer the combat of Zelda 1. The sword is strong but it has a narrow attack range so it's more about choosing when to stab shit and when to make use of your other tools.
Or just blow shit up with bombs, I guess. But I don't do that.

The combat of OoT is alright enough but there's not enough common real threats, with the exception of Dinolfos, Stalfos and Iron Knuckles, but those guys are saved as mini bosses. Zelda 1 towards the latter half just starts throwing Darknuts and Wizzrobes at you constantly, and the odd Like-Like or two to take that shield you just grinded a half hour to get.

>>8909875
TP could have been cool If nintendo wasn't terrified of difficulty curves at the time

zelda is link's mother

she had him when she was 14 and in order to avoid a scandal she had the servants abandon him in the forest just after his birth

>>8909790
simple
he doesn't actually know any and just relies on stale memes to pretend he does

>>8909921
>this kind of combat and difficulty
lock on and mash to win?

>>8909939
That's 3d zelda

>>8909917
there is no such thing as a difficult Zelda game.

>>8910063
The first three games are no walk in the park

>>8910068
go play Alundra and then tell me how hard any Zelda game is

>>8908896
>Did you not see that army of mace wielders, bowmen, and soldiers you had to fight through to get to the castle? No? Your welcome
I didn't see their corpses either. And he only gave me his sword, not the wallet full of rupees from killing them. What good does all those rupees do a dead man when he knows I have to go on an adventure and buy bottles and shit?

>>8909875
>2D Zelda games have notoriously bad combat
Not at all. It's not amazing by any means, but it's good. It's about positioning, there is a good density of enemies per room/area.
The 3D Zelda games feel slow.

>>8910093
Is that game hard for the right reasons or just hard for the sake of it?

>>8909875
>No, I haven't played the Game Boy ones

>>8910327
Localized version is apparently harder. Thank Working Designs.

>>8909875
Only thing I like about 3D combat is swinging a controller around pretending I’m Lunk, otherwise every 3D game is kinda clumsy and shitty.
2D > *

>>8910327
sometimes it's hard for the right reasons, sometimes it's hard for the wrong reasons

>>8907452
Holy shit you people are still getting mad about the timeline.

>>8911205
Not him, but you can't ever make me not mad about this. I'm fine with each game on it's own being pretty internally consistent, even dumb fucking train shit in PH.
However, when Nintendo keeps trying to tie the stories together and shits on the games at the same time, I always have to wonder what could have been if they had planned a little better or cared a little more.

>>8904168
I have thought about this before. His reluctance to let this youth face the adventure that rightly belongs to him-- because the future belongs to the young-- is a regressive attitude that suggests the uncle was ready for imminent drastic disruption of his self-organization; in this instance consisting of total bodily death. It was misdirected grandiosity on his part.

>>8911234
ph was not the train game. ph was pretty decent

>>8911234
To me it goes OoT->MM->LTTP->Z1->Z2. Nothing else really matters. We'll never have another zelda game with this kind of quality and tone. Also give link his cross shield back and stop making him blonde.
but i guess nintendo just wants to make link a girl or some shit judging from the new zelda games
lol

>>8909637
i hate you

>>8909785
maybe you should talk to somebody about your anger, anon

>>8912323
