>ocarina of time implied that breeding with Hylian men was going to dilute Gerudo blood and eventually cause them to be absorbed into the Hylian population >Twilight Princess showed this actually ended up happening after a few centuries >BotW/TotK Gerudo go unchanged for literaly ten thousand years of breeding with hylian men
Fricking lorelets making these games now I swear
>That's actually why they have pointy ears now instead of round ones like in OOT.
Gerudo males still have round ears. Or at least, Ganondorf does even before he transformed using the stone.
I'm not saying they did wrong, I'm saying that if the Gerudo made contact with the Hylians 10,000 years ago, they should not still be Gerudo 10,000 years later.
But come to think of it, Gerudo stopped existing in both the child and adult timelines, so this must be an entirely new group of Gerudo. I guess this batch has stickier genes. Guess Din didn't want to get left out again.
I was positive they threw out lots of lore with BotW.
With Tears I assumed they threw the whole timeline bull shit right out the fricking window. Because....It seems like they have done quite a bit of retconning.
Totk doesn't necessarily conflict with previous games if the ancient zonai parts take place so far after the other games that Hyrule has collapsed, been mostly forgotten, and then re-founded. Although there's still the problem from botw of all the timelines seemingly converging which can't be explained away simply with the passage of time.
>Although there's still the problem from botw of all the timelines seemingly converging which can't be explained away simply with the passage of time.
Damn BotW really is the Turn A Gundam of Zelda
The converging timelines
Seemingly retconning not only SS but OoT.
The Founding of Hyrule being the same and they out right do the OoT cutscene where Dorf kneels.
It's even a soft reboot of BotW, where the frick is the Shikah tech?
What if the BOTW series is just a soft reboot of the series? I imagine Miyamoto and Aonuma never anticipated the sheer amount of fan autism that the timeline generated and they probably got sick with having to address it. Might as well start clean by wiping the slate
I don't understand why you people still don't get that nintendo don't care about stories, they create their mechanics and systems and then slap a half assed plot on top to justify the gameplay elements, I'm pretty sure the next zelda will contradict botw and totk events and "lore"
Where is all the Shikah tech? The Divine Beasts? Shikah slate? Where are the Shrines? How about the towers? Link is not from Hateno, that's Zelda's House. Lots of characters don't know who the frick Link is even though they should, like Bolson.
It's a "soft sequel" at best. It ignores way too many key things to really be true sequel.
Jesus Christ this is not that hard to understand.
Fujibayashi doesn't want to think about continuity. What does he do? Sets everything FAR into the future.
That means he can have Hyrule be founded by rabbit moonmen because it's a new Hyrule. Nothing has been retconned, it's just so far in the future none of the previous continuity matters.
This is it and everyone else is overthrowing it. Ninty is well aware of lore spergs and has used this excuse before to a lesser extent. Throw in a few bones go get some autistic heads turning and there you go.
I already addressed how it doesn't necessarily contradict SS, OoT, and ALttP. It could just be way after all the other games and this Hyrule is new, with this Ganondorf being yet another reincarnation of the original. It is weird how it does seem to contradict botw. Technically there is still sheikah tech with the purah pad and towers, but 99% of it, including the divine beasts, vanishing without anyone making note of it is an odd route to go for a direct sequel.
>Shikah Slate to Purah Pad
I can see it, they don't fricking explain it. It also brings up the question of why in the frick did she remove the runes? Those seemed pretty fricking useful.
>Towers being repurposed as the new Towers
A viable theory...that once again is no where in the game beyond assuming.
>Shrines
Popped out of existence.
>Divine Beasts
Outside of the helmets and one line of dialog from Yunobo they are just fricking gone.
>Shrine of Resurrection
Popped out of existence, fully unexplained and this one thing makes a major change, how in the frick did BotW happen?
>Guardians
You could say they were all dismantled and destroyed, but again unless I missed something this goes off assumption alone. I still think they should have been in the depths.

Purah pad and towers aren't speculation. The purah pad is what Link (and Zelda and Rauru) warp with. It's reusing sheikah slate technology. And the towers have sheikah style terminals, use sheikah materials, use guardian tentacles to grab Link, use the sheikah orange to blue color scheme, and Josha activates them with a lever attached to the modified remains of a guardian. But yes, everything else just vanished without so much as a "oh yeah, we cleaned all the stuff up and put in Robbie's basement." It's very strange.
I suspect they wanted to minimize the sheikah stuff because they (justifiably) worried that people were sick of it from botw. I know I was. But they definitely could have handled it more gracefully.

It was removed from the English version, but the JP version has an explanation from Purah that they decommissioned all the Shiekah tech. The spirit of it was going out since Ganon's defeat anyway, and it would be pointless to try continue it when it was compromised, that's the whole reason the Calamity even happened.
You can see Shiekah tech in both labs, the Purah Pad is clearly Shiekah and the towers were built from repurposed designs/tech. Everything else was basically scrapped and cleaned up.
> Link is not from Hateno, that's Zelda's House.
It's clearly still Link's house too. At a minimum you'd say he gave it to Zelda since she doesn't have a place to stay anymore, but they're still always together. When she's trying to surprise him with an outfit, she has to hide it in the Castle.
>Lots of characters don't know who the frick Link is even though they should, like Bolson.
This is definitely them being a bit lame. But the major characters all know him and both him and the Calamity are mentioned directly, Hudson even mentions and knows him. Someone like Bolson, eh, it's been 5 years. I think Link should be a lot better known that he is, you're right that they were a bit cowardly there, but the major characters are all consistent. There's a reason Link is allowed into Gerudo town, why Impa and Paya immediately trust him etc.

I can't wait for them to bullshit an explanation for how everyone suddenly figures out how to dismantle Zonai tech for the inevitable third game, because you just know for a fact that once Link starts offscreen talking to Zelda about his adventure and mentions the Seized Construct, she's going to have Calamity flashbacks and immediately order purging of it.

I can't see them doing a direct 3rd game, it'll be either a new region or the usual huge timeskip/time wobblyness. I'd be more than happy to play this Link again, and I haven't minded the re-used map at all. But using it twice is very different to using it thrice.
Plus, the Switch is done soon. They'll do something new for the new system.
I do hope we stick with this Link and Zelda for one more game though, they're a great pair.

You are forgetting that Tears IS the 3rd game. Age of Calamity is canon apparently.
I think a new Bing Bing console will be out within by 2024 is done. I think there will be a upgraded version of tears for it that may or may not come with DLC. I don't think we will see a NEW Zelda for a while.
Maybe a remake of some sort. Maybe a 2D game. But the next "mainline" is gonna be quite a ways off.
I would be fine with a remake of Zelda/Zelda 2 in the BotW style.

AoC being canon doesn't line up, Mipha should still be alive by the time of TotK due to Zora aging since AoC spares her the fate of dying to Waterblight Ganon.
Likewise that would mean that we're not actually following the same Link and Zelda by the time TotK rolls in due to the fact AoC allows BotW's Link and Zelda to resume living as per normal without spending 100 years in their respective states, but in TotK the Link you play as is still recognized as a hero of the Zora.

If BotW is still canon, where in the frick is the god damn Shrine of Resurrection? Alot of the other tech I could say "sure they dismatled n reused it" but a building/machine that heals people from the brink of death? Why in the world would they dismantle that? It's does not seem like it was gonna be corrupted, ganon is "dead" and it sat there doing it's thing unmolested for 100 years when ganon was "alive" in the castle.

At least with Bolson you can say he's probably built houses for lots of people so Link didn't stand out as much (even though he helped your successor build a town and was the one that invited you to his wedding). But then you have shit like Hestu not remembering one of the only people who can see him who got him back his maracas. And Tasho specifically saying "you don't know Oaki, do you?" when he's the one that asked you to watch over him.

The divine beasts were nothing more than glorified massive paperweights at the end of BOTW. Hell, them losing power first (because Zelda reads out this information on a still functioning Sheikah slate) very likely means that Zelda ordered they be scrapped first.
Way I see it, the bigger the thing the more power it drew so the sooner it shut down first, and Zelda probably commanded them disposed of as scrapping a completely depowered Sheikah machine would be a more cautious approach than going and decommissioning still active shit first like guardians.

Zelda literally reads out from a Sheikah slate that the elephant divine beast shut down. If it were all just tied to Ganon's spirit fading then even the Sheikah Slate would have deactivated, as it's Sheikah tech too.
The stuff from Rauru's time could still technically happen in the period after SS Link and Zelda settle the surface but before the kingdom is founded. The Zonai kind of explain where all the shit in the sky came from in SS, if not from the goddess.
Where was Ganon 2 when Ganon 1 destroyed hyrule castle and made his castle a floating fortress above a pit of evil quicksand
Where was he when future hyrule castles had to be rebuilt in different locations
Why is the chamber where he was sealed still under the current hyrule castle, with unbroken passages in the same architectural style still leading to it'
Why did nobody remember him or the event if there were monuments referencing it around the whole time, and it was a major war that killed Hyrule's founding royalty, and also shares a name with a later unrelated war to imprison the other Ganon
Why do the Gerudo remember that Calamity Ganon was a Gerudo king after a gorrillion years but nobody half a gorillion years earlier remembered that there was a previous evil Gerudo king named Ganondorf that did the same shit

When you say 'the first one', what do you mean? Ocarina takes place way after the events depicted in Rauru's time. Of course she would reference the one in Ocarina. These two Ganondorfs are clearly different people. I don't know why you would automatically conflate them.

Not 10 to 20 thousand years as is the case with BotW's distance from the rest of the series
The Hyrule depicted in OoT would remember its own damn founding, as opposed to BotW Hyrule which had not even consistently been the same fricking Hyrule depending on the timeline >Twilight Princess had double Links going on.
Because Link's deal is also often a bloodline, the 'spirit of the hero' is probably not his soul reincarnating- and if it is then the hero's shade doesn't contradict that anyway as its appearances would still play by Avatar rules

Anon, the Calamity in BotW fricked the castle up way worse than its ever been fricked up before. Even in OoT it was just knocked down, in BotW the damage was done with the malice infested it for over a fricking century. It took over 100 years for him to free himself, and this was AFTER 10,000+ years of the seal slowly weakening and leading up to the calamity. He didn't free himself in the older games because Rauru's seal wasn't built of bubblegum and prayers, that shit took forever and an apocalypse to cut loose.
of time implied that breeding with Hylian men was going to dilute Gerudo blood and eventually cause them to be absorbed into the Hylian population
Nice headcanon
>ocarina of time implied that breeding with Hylian men was going to dilute Gerudo blood and eventually cause them to be absorbed into the Hylian population
No it didn't. There's not a single implication of that anywhere in OoT
Nothing in OoT directly implies that the Gerudo were homogenized.
What ACTUALLY happened in Twilight Princess is unclear, but some shit went down for Hyrule to seize the Gerudo Desert as its own territory after they fricked up Ganondorf's execution.
>ocarina of time implied that breeding with Hylian men was going to dilute Gerudo blood and eventually cause them to be absorbed into the Hylian population
im a big fan of ooc, any source for this? i dont remember this ever mentioned. I only remember them being encouraged to seek out mates so they dont die out.
every zelda game outside of direct sequels has always been the creators doing whatever the frick they want to do regardless of what previous games said
did you get sent to jail after repeatedly trying to participate in the underage lesson or did you realize that you could simply stand among the mannequins while wearing the desert outfit, successfully camouflaging yourself
I just talked to an NPC randomly (probably one of the kids listening in to the adult class) and they told me about hiding with the mannequins. The kid class is kinda pointless anyway, all it does is spell out where to find one of the engravings. From what I saw, nothing interesting happens from blending with the practice mannequins
>They specifically have shit to tell you that you can sneak into the teen version of the class by wearing the full Voe set and sneaking over the wall to stand on the empty dummy spot >It doesn't actually do anything important, you just get to listen in on the class for the younger Gerudo >They seem way more aware of manipulating men with the teacher even saying one seems scarily gifted
Okay, what did they actually mean by all this?
It served two purposes:
1st was to eavesdrop and learn one of the kid’s dad got put into jail and you can visit him using Ascend. I still have no idea what purpose this serves since it doesn’t prompt a quest and all he and his kid do is tell you about the wife who you already met because you need the full Desert Voe armor set in the first place to eavesdrop. The guy’s still in jail after everything gets resolved and his wife never says anything new so I guess it’s an oversight from development.
2nd is to hint you on the location of one of the stelae for another quest where you need to take pictures.
I know that’s not what you’re trying to get at because cute and funny but I just felt like talking about the game
They tell you some of the locations of the heroine spheres if you haven't done that quest yet.

Riju is the romantic type, she wants the Gerudo to go out and date Hylian men instead of kidnapping them for snu snu. It's her personal plan with Link too.
No they didn't, the game is fricking barren and still ended up missing shit that they planned to include even after being delayed for a year to add more content

>Riju is desperate, frightened, frustrated and at the end of her tether >The second she sees Link, that all evaporates and she knows everything will be alright now
I absolutely fricking loved what they did with Zelda in this game, how -without any reason to believe he could- she just assured everyone that Link would win, and could stop Ganon, and setup a thousand year alliance to support him.
And Riju's exactly the same, it's 100% the sense of pure trust and acknowledgement.
My only complaint is they didn't do more with Paya.
>-without any reason to believe he could-
he saved the kingdom while having no memories, all pure natural talent and muscle memory.

If there is someone alive she knew that could save everyone, it was link.

He could've had his memories by that point, depending on your completion
God I wish BotW's ending didn't shit the bed, because that "courage need not be remembered" line is quite possibly the hardest line anyone's ever said in the entire series

Then, now with Riju as big as Urbosa, she has to explain to them how she's at the point where she's supposed to go find a Voe. And so she asks Zelda if she'd be alright with "lending" her Link. Zelda agrees but only if she can be the one in charge of it as a threeway

But, like, she doesn't look at all like the other Gerudo women we see in the game actually going out to get Voe. All the ones in the advanced Voe & You class are of the more "adult" body type.
She’s explicitly 12 in BOTW according to some official source, and given how TOTK can’t be more than 4-5 years after BOTW, that makes her 16, 17, or maybe even 18 at the oldest, pervert anon don’t worry, I’m a perv, too

I think they're going with a subversion of expectation thing with the sages.
Yunobu is a Goron. Known for being tough and manly, but he's timid and has a baby's voice.(It's even more apparent in the Japanese dub, where he sounds just like a little boy)
Sidon may seem like a normal zora at first. But Look at it symbolically. All important Zoras before him were women. And his sister probably would have been a sage, if she didn't die. This is because water is often associated as a feminine kind of trait. Most folklore associated with magical water people, are women. Also, the water are often associated with the moon. And the moon is another feminine symbol.(The sun being masculine) So with Sidon, you have this super masculine princely character(princes are associated with lions, and lions are associate with the sun), who is filling a feminine roll. Dealing with defensive magic, water magic, and even healing magic, as he works to separate the sludge from the water.
Riju is pretty obvious. In that, Gerudos are all big and tall, but their leader is small.
I haven't identified how Tulin subverts expectations yet. Though, my current idea, is that it's simply the fact that he wanted to do everything alone at first. Which is counter to birds flocking together. But he learns his lesson so quickly, that I'm not sure that was all there was.
By not being an butthole? Ravali was an ass, so...that means Tulin has to be a fan boy?
Rito are the odd ones out...because they only showed up in one game before BotW They are much less defined.
talking about Tulin, does anyone anyone else think everyone is just pretending his ability is super special and not just what Rivali did but side ways?
Tulin's ability was not particularly helpful, but convenient. I'd say he has the most useless ability, but there's Sidon. In combat too, I think the fact that his headshots make easily identifiable noise is what makes him stand out, not his actual contribution. Although it is convenient to have him around for lynels, if he can figure out where it actually is.
The vast majority of gliding you do in the game doesn't require Tulin's help. Even in his own dungeon, at best he saves you a jump's worth of stamina. Even in the Colgera fight, he's the only sage that has absolutely nothing to contribute. But the seconds he saves by boosting around add up. The only times he seems to be working harder than the other sages is when he's sniping down enemy archers in encampments and such, but otherwise the others seem to take down much more than he does aside from those.

He’s not required but he gives you the most mileage out of any sage by far. Taking him first enables you to do major long distance gliding hurdles without having to farm hordes of stamina-recovery dishes, especially when you’ve yet to max out the stamina wheel. He’s the only ranged sage and can consistently land headshots that potentially one shot pesky foes from afar, giving him higher dps uptime if you even bother to care about that. The sheer utility of saving you seconds adds up when you consider the amount of time you’re spending playing the game. His ability is also the easiest to utilize because it’s immediately available the moment you pull out your glider- whereas you have to walk up to every other sage and press A to use their skills.

It's not even just this. Even with infinite stamina, you still descend as you glide. There have been so many times where I was able to get to sky islands that I never would have had the height and distance for without his boosts. He doesn't just reduce the need for stamina dishes, he reduces the need to pop out flying machines too.

Getting altitude is almost always more helpful than being able to move straight horizontally, and it's pretty obvious the game was designed to let you make most glides without his ability. That said, his ability does get a lot of mileage, but it doesn't really change what you do or how you play, except to save time. In combat, two other sages already do knockbacks with much more versatility than Tulin's gust, and the only enemies Tulin can one shot are ones that won't be much of a threat outside of the beginning of the game, and if you had Yunobo or especially Riju, you could much more easily delete tons more enemies. Not to mention Tulin's tendency to flap over when you're picking up items so he can blow them away as you mash A. If you ever watch the sages when you're downing something big though, it becomes obvious how much more the others are actually contributing compared to Tulin's periodic shots.
Still, the time saved argument is pretty big, especially in this game, which is the only reason I keep him out.

Only when you word it dishonestly and leave out the context of their abilities.
Revali's gale was only usable from the ground where you can already make updrafts. Its only use case was making an updraft in the rain. And it would be completely worthless in totk thanks to fans.
Tulin's gust maintains altitude during a glide, and can be used anywhere. The only other way you can technically do this is by creating an updraft mid-air with hot peppers. But that invalidates Revali's gale even harder than it does Tulin's. >the game was designed to let you make most glides without his ability
I've made loads of glides that were only possible with him. There were obviously other ways to get to the destinations because it's totk and there's always a way to skip/not use everything. But he's saved me having to make flying machines or go along the intended path of sky islands plenty of times.

>whereas you have to walk up to every other sage and press A to use their skills.
This boils my piss. Riju's power should have just been ZR + A to shoot lightning arrow without the shitty highfive tag team mechanic and slow AoE build up. And put Sidon's bubble to ZL + A while you're at it and have it function as a parry with better active frames instead.
Revali's gale was almost entirely useless. You could already make updrafts on demand that weren't on a cooldown. I almost never used it.
On the other hand, I use Tulin's ability constantly. More distance on glides is extremely convenient. And there's not really any other way to do that.
Tulin subverts the traditional structure of his area by being a kid.
In the BotW and TotK Hyrule, they play everything pretty straight when it comes to age. All of the major players are adults, except for Riju. Every child is portrayed as a kawaii-uguu jellybean.
Then, during the blizzard, the adults are all spinning their wheels while the kids take over the town. Tulin saves the town when his dad, who helped Link fight off Medoh and should have been the first person to fly to the rescue, wasn't able to. And he does this by engaging seriously with the content of a children's fairy tale, which the adults brush off as nonsense.
>subverts the traditional structure of his area by being a kid
That’s literally the entire idea behind TOTK’s sages/successors being a newer generation of fighters
Tulin is the only new sage. The others were already the modern equivalents of the four Champions. He was the only one who wasn't already battle tested.
Riju was already surfing around beneath a giant robot deflecting lightning before she ever became a sage. They literally built a statue to honor Sidon's skill in battle.
Fair point. It’s kinda odd how they’re trying to phase out Teba since he’s clearly the odd one out (every sage is effectively a teenager/the definition of youth in respect to their race) despite him showing up in AoC

>phase out the chaddest character in the continuity that isn't named link >keep fricking yunobo
I was going to say what the other anon said. TotK has a whole "passing the torch" theme going on. There are other rather progressive ideas. Like how Cece threatens to upset the traditions of Hateno, and almost wins the election.
How Sidon becomes king at the end of his story. Also, how Sidon replaces the history on all the stone slabs with his own thoughts. Effectively starting a new chapter in Zora history.
The goron blacksmith passing ownership of his shop to his apprentice.
Yunobo starting a new business that effectively takes over the mining business of his predecessor.
I haven't done Gerudo's story in TotK yet. So I don't know what awaits me there. But I'm betting I'll find something similar in theme.
And of course, every sage from Rauru's time, explicitly stating that they're passing their power down to the new sages.
>Like how Cece threatens to upset the traditions of Hateno, and almost wins the election.
That quest ended up being based. Progress is good but should not be done in an abandonment of tradition.
I suppose. I just hate how it forces the player to assist Cece. I see her as pretty much a villain. And so you have to assist a villain in nearly ruining the whole village. We only avoid such a catastrophe due to Cece's sister forcing Cece to act like a human for once in her life. But imagine if her sister didn't have an emotional outburst suddenly. Or imagine if Cece didn't back down. Then what would have happened? Something bad, certainly. And it would be on the player's hands for helping her along.

Yeah, I really didn't like handing out those mushrooms. Not only was it helping a shitty person, but the fact that you had to specifically give them to people who didn't like what she was doing to the town felt downright antagonistic.
At least there's cheese girl.
>Don't find anyone at Lover's Pond on Tuft Mountain >Random traveler mentions something about bringing a ring garland there >Do it, nothing happens
Does Lover's Pond have any function or events in TOTK? Was kind of disappointed it's literally just a heart-shaped pond now.
It's just a fairy fountain now, if you go there at sunset(I think? forgot the time)fairies spawn.
Also if you want you can treat it as further fuel for the zelink blue ball storytelling. Zelda visits the pond constantly, and she writes in her diary that Link is always beside her, they potentially go there together.
Isn’t it the other way around? Paya constantly fangirls over Tauro. She doesn’t even get flustered over Link when he goes topless anymore and just faces the other way in disdain
>She literally turns around unable to face Link when he's naked. >She even comments how she thinks she would be able to handle it this time but fails with a flustered face.
What are you on about?
Idk, the one time I talked to Paya shirtless she didn’t turn around and just spoke calmly with what seemed like contempt or indifference at the kindest in response to Link’s behavior
Idk, the one time I talked to Paya shirtless she didn’t turn around and just spoke calmly with what seemed like contempt or indifference at the kindest in response to Link’s behavior
Talk to her again. That's all she does when I talk to her naked.
She seems to just cycle the three conversations if you're shirtless/nude.
Is there a more haunted and tragic Link than OoT Link? The guy’s entire adventure and the relationships he built up with all the people he met got nullified for the greater good. Nobody remembers him or the time they spent together. No wonder he died with so much regret that he never passed on to the afterlife
This is what happens when Nintendo won't let me get involved in Gerudo sex ed
They went out of their way to make a brand new Gerudo hebe model making them the only race whose full lifecycle minus babies are represented in-game, and yet their parents tell them not to talk to me and when I try to get in on their classes they throw me in jail
This is an outrage, truly. There's nothing I can do but talk about other things
If you believe Impa and the Zora monuments, OoT happened more than 10,000 years before BotW. Which means that there hasn't been a male Gerudo for OVER 10,000 YEARS because Ganon refuses to die.
really? that's pretty fricked up. I thought a Gerudo male wasn't being born because Ganon is still alive. It's pretty grug tier logic on the Gerudo's behalf if they really do that. I thought they were smarter than that. And then they complain about not being able to find 'Voe'? Are they goron level IQ?
I'm pretty sure the anon just made that up. He put his headcanon in spoilers to make it sound more convincing. Words spoken in hushed tones, always sound more convincing.
I doubt it. They still have styles of clothing for adult voes. Also, their children are almost guaranteed to be born outside of Gerudo town and they will have a non-Gerudo father. If they were doing anything unpleasant to the once a century boy you'd have one or both parents sending them into hiding where they now can't be monitored by Gerudo society and are more likely to turn bad because people tried to kill them when they were a baby. They probably just treat the boy like how noble hostages usually were in the middle ages, treating him nicely but still technically as a prisoner under close supervision.
It's mostly head canon. But there is a very odd "vai" in BotW, if you played the game you know full damn well who I speak of.
The way how "she" is designed implies that they are Garudo. Dark/brown skin tone, bright red hair, amber/yellow eyes.
It's a hylian as far as the game is concerned, obviously they wouldn't want to design an entire new character model just for that one little joke, and TotK throws all that shit from BotW away anyway so who knows
Yes, and a lot of fashion choices in the last 5-10 years, have been retreading of the 80s. All that vaporwave stuff, and blue/purple color schemes. Borrowed from the 80s.
Don't worry, I would have called the 80s version disgusting too. But it's clear that these designs are coming back around, because of a greater Gen Z influence. I also like how you identify the mohawk as one of my complaints, but not the septum ring.
Ah yes, when I see a giant mohawk, I think Zoomer. Not the punks of a by gone era.
That disgusting Zoomer fashion, is just revisiting disgusting punk fashion. However you call it, it's ugly as frick. You'll also notice that nose piercings are far-FAR less common back in the day. Septum piercings, and other nose israeliteelry are at an all time high.
Well admittedly, the mohawk came back for younger millenials like 10 years ago. And in a smaller form. But for a while, everyone was wearing a little mohawk. Which coincided with the undercut. Which is more or less the same thing. the definitions are a little blurry. The undercut persists today, except it's commonly referred to as a fad. And a lot of people get that fade with curly hair on top, which gives that broccoli headed stereotypical gen Z look. It's all connected. You can argue what style has more or less hair, and if that matters. But they're all styles that are tall on the top, and buzzed on the sides.

Zoomers think mohawk are cool. It's just that they just don't commit fully to the older punk look. Rather, they get a socially acceptable watered down version of it in real life. And then give the full fledge punk version of it to their OCs and avatars in their fantasy worlds.

One of my favorite absurd things in BotW/TotK's world is how unbelievably well the gerudo get on with other women. Imagine a world where people live mostly in small villages (that realistically would need a lot more families to do a lot more farming/work) where a tribe of exotic women roam around looking for "husbands" to give them a babby to take back to shifting sand lands. Maybe people wouldn't mind if one showed up every now and again to hook up with the town's odd weirdo bachelor/gentleman of exemplary taste, but it makes it seem like they're a fairly regular and mundane presence. The villages are mostly filled with hylian families and even a lot of randos mention having a wife (Abe Approved). There sure are a decent amount of gerudo.
It's hard to think about the implications without imagining that the women would eventually start greeting the gerudo with pitchforks.
>Makeela Riju >not Makeea
Were the translators so tired of holding so many Ls that they started putting them into the game. Her first name is Maki-a in Japan.
Actually frick it, they should have just called her Machia, because that's the word the Japanese name was clearly evoking. "Chosen by the gods for a purpose", in other words the chief.

Fricking lorelets making these games now I swear
To be fair, that's one retcon I can get behind. Snusnu is forever.
That's actually why they have pointy ears now instead of round ones like in OOT. Also it might explain their different shades of skin color now too.
>That's actually why they have pointy ears now instead of round ones like in OOT.
Gerudo males still have round ears. Or at least, Ganondorf does even before he transformed using the stone.
Then who were they supposed to breed with if they were a tribe of women?
I'm not saying they did wrong, I'm saying that if the Gerudo made contact with the Hylians 10,000 years ago, they should not still be Gerudo 10,000 years later.
But come to think of it, Gerudo stopped existing in both the child and adult timelines, so this must be an entirely new group of Gerudo. I guess this batch has stickier genes. Guess Din didn't want to get left out again.
The idea of their bloodline diluting doesn't really make sense, though. They could have never existed in the first place if that's how it worked.
I was positive they threw out lots of lore with BotW.
With Tears I assumed they threw the whole timeline bull shit right out the fricking window. Because....It seems like they have done quite a bit of retconning.
Totk doesn't necessarily conflict with previous games if the ancient zonai parts take place so far after the other games that Hyrule has collapsed, been mostly forgotten, and then re-founded. Although there's still the problem from botw of all the timelines seemingly converging which can't be explained away simply with the passage of time.
>Although there's still the problem from botw of all the timelines seemingly converging which can't be explained away simply with the passage of time.
Damn BotW really is the Turn A Gundam of Zelda
The converging timelines
Seemingly retconning not only SS but OoT.
The Founding of Hyrule being the same and they out right do the OoT cutscene where Dorf kneels.
It's even a soft reboot of BotW, where the frick is the Shikah tech?
What if the BOTW series is just a soft reboot of the series? I imagine Miyamoto and Aonuma never anticipated the sheer amount of fan autism that the timeline generated and they probably got sick with having to address it. Might as well start clean by wiping the slate
they just don't give a frick
I don't understand why you people still don't get that nintendo don't care about stories, they create their mechanics and systems and then slap a half assed plot on top to justify the gameplay elements, I'm pretty sure the next zelda will contradict botw and totk events and "lore"
In the game being reused you moron. It is a 100% direct sequel with no continuity errors between them.
Where is all the Shikah tech? The Divine Beasts? Shikah slate? Where are the Shrines? How about the towers? Link is not from Hateno, that's Zelda's House. Lots of characters don't know who the frick Link is even though they should, like Bolson.
It's a "soft sequel" at best. It ignores way too many key things to really be true sequel.
Jesus Christ this is not that hard to understand.
Fujibayashi doesn't want to think about continuity. What does he do? Sets everything FAR into the future.
That means he can have Hyrule be founded by rabbit moonmen because it's a new Hyrule. Nothing has been retconned, it's just so far in the future none of the previous continuity matters.
Wait, BOTW and TOTK are in the future? I thought they were meant to be in the distant past?
This is it and everyone else is overthrowing it. Ninty is well aware of lore spergs and has used this excuse before to a lesser extent. Throw in a few bones go get some autistic heads turning and there you go.
I already addressed how it doesn't necessarily contradict SS, OoT, and ALttP. It could just be way after all the other games and this Hyrule is new, with this Ganondorf being yet another reincarnation of the original. It is weird how it does seem to contradict botw. Technically there is still sheikah tech with the purah pad and towers, but 99% of it, including the divine beasts, vanishing without anyone making note of it is an odd route to go for a direct sequel.
>Shikah Slate to Purah Pad
I can see it, they don't fricking explain it. It also brings up the question of why in the frick did she remove the runes? Those seemed pretty fricking useful.
>Towers being repurposed as the new Towers
A viable theory...that once again is no where in the game beyond assuming.
>Shrines
Popped out of existence.
>Divine Beasts
Outside of the helmets and one line of dialog from Yunobo they are just fricking gone.
>Shrine of Resurrection
Popped out of existence, fully unexplained and this one thing makes a major change, how in the frick did BotW happen?
>Guardians
You could say they were all dismantled and destroyed, but again unless I missed something this goes off assumption alone. I still think they should have been in the depths.
Purah pad and towers aren't speculation. The purah pad is what Link (and Zelda and Rauru) warp with. It's reusing sheikah slate technology. And the towers have sheikah style terminals, use sheikah materials, use guardian tentacles to grab Link, use the sheikah orange to blue color scheme, and Josha activates them with a lever attached to the modified remains of a guardian. But yes, everything else just vanished without so much as a "oh yeah, we cleaned all the stuff up and put in Robbie's basement." It's very strange.
I suspect they wanted to minimize the sheikah stuff because they (justifiably) worried that people were sick of it from botw. I know I was. But they definitely could have handled it more gracefully.
should have been more ruined guardians, no fricking way they cleaned up literally all of them with zero traces
>Where is all the Shikah tech? The Divine Beasts? Shikah slate? Where are the Shrines? How about the towers?
It was removed from the English version, but the JP version has an explanation from Purah that they decommissioned all the Shiekah tech. The spirit of it was going out since Ganon's defeat anyway, and it would be pointless to try continue it when it was compromised, that's the whole reason the Calamity even happened.
You can see Shiekah tech in both labs, the Purah Pad is clearly Shiekah and the towers were built from repurposed designs/tech. Everything else was basically scrapped and cleaned up.
> Link is not from Hateno, that's Zelda's House.
It's clearly still Link's house too. At a minimum you'd say he gave it to Zelda since she doesn't have a place to stay anymore, but they're still always together. When she's trying to surprise him with an outfit, she has to hide it in the Castle.
>Lots of characters don't know who the frick Link is even though they should, like Bolson.
This is definitely them being a bit lame. But the major characters all know him and both him and the Calamity are mentioned directly, Hudson even mentions and knows him. Someone like Bolson, eh, it's been 5 years. I think Link should be a lot better known that he is, you're right that they were a bit cowardly there, but the major characters are all consistent. There's a reason Link is allowed into Gerudo town, why Impa and Paya immediately trust him etc.
I can't wait for them to bullshit an explanation for how everyone suddenly figures out how to dismantle Zonai tech for the inevitable third game, because you just know for a fact that once Link starts offscreen talking to Zelda about his adventure and mentions the Seized Construct, she's going to have Calamity flashbacks and immediately order purging of it.
I can't see them doing a direct 3rd game, it'll be either a new region or the usual huge timeskip/time wobblyness. I'd be more than happy to play this Link again, and I haven't minded the re-used map at all. But using it twice is very different to using it thrice.
Plus, the Switch is done soon. They'll do something new for the new system.
I do hope we stick with this Link and Zelda for one more game though, they're a great pair.
You are forgetting that Tears IS the 3rd game. Age of Calamity is canon apparently.
I think a new Bing Bing console will be out within by 2024 is done. I think there will be a upgraded version of tears for it that may or may not come with DLC. I don't think we will see a NEW Zelda for a while.
Maybe a remake of some sort. Maybe a 2D game. But the next "mainline" is gonna be quite a ways off.
I would be fine with a remake of Zelda/Zelda 2 in the BotW style.
AoC being canon doesn't line up, Mipha should still be alive by the time of TotK due to Zora aging since AoC spares her the fate of dying to Waterblight Ganon.
Likewise that would mean that we're not actually following the same Link and Zelda by the time TotK rolls in due to the fact AoC allows BotW's Link and Zelda to resume living as per normal without spending 100 years in their respective states, but in TotK the Link you play as is still recognized as a hero of the Zora.
If BotW is still canon, where in the frick is the god damn Shrine of Resurrection? Alot of the other tech I could say "sure they dismatled n reused it" but a building/machine that heals people from the brink of death? Why in the world would they dismantle that? It's does not seem like it was gonna be corrupted, ganon is "dead" and it sat there doing it's thing unmolested for 100 years when ganon was "alive" in the castle.
That one could actually be the Yiga. They're the ones that not only took over that specific cave but are also the only presence on the plateau. So they may have taken it apart to try and use its technology for something.
See:
>Age of Calamity is canon apparently.
AoC being canon is nonsense, there's literally zero references to it anywhere and when Mipha's referenced it's with sadness and reflection not "Wow, I'm so glad we saved her in that other timeline."
Her being dead the whole time is in fact a fairly major part of Sidon's story
At least with Bolson you can say he's probably built houses for lots of people so Link didn't stand out as much (even though he helped your successor build a town and was the one that invited you to his wedding). But then you have shit like Hestu not remembering one of the only people who can see him who got him back his maracas. And Tasho specifically saying "you don't know Oaki, do you?" when he's the one that asked you to watch over him.
>but the JP version has an explanation from Purah that they decommissioned all the Shiekah tech.
I've yet to see any proof of this, just hearsay people keep parroting.
>they decommissioned all the Shiekah tech
???
The Guardians, OK.
But some of those Shrines where so remote its unbelievable
>DECOMISSIONED THE DIVINE BEASTS
So moronic it hurts, that would take decades.
The divine beasts were nothing more than glorified massive paperweights at the end of BOTW. Hell, them losing power first (because Zelda reads out this information on a still functioning Sheikah slate) very likely means that Zelda ordered they be scrapped first.
Way I see it, the bigger the thing the more power it drew so the sooner it shut down first, and Zelda probably commanded them disposed of as scrapping a completely depowered Sheikah machine would be a more cautious approach than going and decommissioning still active shit first like guardians.
>The divine beasts were nothing more than glorified massive paperweights
MASSIVE being the KEY point, you are telling me they scrap EVERY Guardian on EVERY corner of the map, go into EVERY crevice and scrap every shrine and THEN scrap with no evidence the DIVINE BEASTS with no giant pieces lying around anywhere with the small forces they have in TotK?
>the more power it drew so the sooner it shut down first
Why does this make sense? What was the blue flames? Why did the blue fire forges disappear?
>Why does this make sense?
Because of the ending of BOTW.
?t=11
Zelda literally reads out from a Sheikah slate that the elephant divine beast shut down. If it were all just tied to Ganon's spirit fading then even the Sheikah Slate would have deactivated, as it's Sheikah tech too.
The stuff from Rauru's time could still technically happen in the period after SS Link and Zelda settle the surface but before the kingdom is founded. The Zonai kind of explain where all the shit in the sky came from in SS, if not from the goddess.
Where was Ganon 2 when Ganon 1 destroyed hyrule castle and made his castle a floating fortress above a pit of evil quicksand
Where was he when future hyrule castles had to be rebuilt in different locations
Why is the chamber where he was sealed still under the current hyrule castle, with unbroken passages in the same architectural style still leading to it'
Why did nobody remember him or the event if there were monuments referencing it around the whole time, and it was a major war that killed Hyrule's founding royalty, and also shares a name with a later unrelated war to imprison the other Ganon
Why do the Gerudo remember that Calamity Ganon was a Gerudo king after a gorrillion years but nobody half a gorillion years earlier remembered that there was a previous evil Gerudo king named Ganondorf that did the same shit
Far beneath the ground.
Far beneath the ground.
Because he was very far beneath the ground in the depths. His chamber was literally right above the darkness line, which is already deep underground.
Why are the ruins different in any game at all? Shit's different all the time. Events slip into legend until they become unknown.
Because that's personal for the Gerudo, who are fairly meticulous lore keepers.
Anon, it was stated that Hyrule Castle specifically was crucial to keeping Ganon imprisonmed, and that's why it was built in that location
The moment his chamber was disturbed at all, he was freed entirely
>Because that's personal for the Gerudo, who are fairly meticulous lore keepers.
Except for that stretch in the middle where there was a second Ganondorf, guess they just forgot, but then forgot about the second one again, and then found the original history that they forgot the first time again at some point to remember the first one
lmao
Anon, when they mentioned Ganondorf in the first game, they were referring to the one from Ocarina. Just because one guy is sealed away isn't going to stop another male from being born once every 100 years. There have literally been two Zeldas at the same time. It's not totally out there for there to be two Ganondorfs.
What are you even talking about?
When were there two Zeldas?
You save Zelda in Legend of Zelda, and awaken an older Zelda in Adventure of Link. As a result, there are two Zeldas.
>when they mentioned Ganondorf in the first game, they were referring to the one from Ocarina
Which brings me back to my original point- how did they forget the first one despite it happening relatively much closer in time?
>It's not totally out there for there to be two Ganondorfs.
It is when they're meant to be essentially the same fricking person
Zelda is a different matter as her deal is a bloodline, not being The demon king
When you say 'the first one', what do you mean? Ocarina takes place way after the events depicted in Rauru's time. Of course she would reference the one in Ocarina. These two Ganondorfs are clearly different people. I don't know why you would automatically conflate them.
Hell, you know what, there were even two Links in one game. Twilight Princess had double Links going on.
ST had two Zeldas as well.
>two Zeldas
Imagine the sex
>Ocarina takes place way after the events depicted in Rauru's time
You have this backwards. Rauru's Hyrule was founded way after every other game. It's the only way botk doesn't directly contradict the rest of the series (as much).
>Ocarina takes place way after the events depicted in Rauru's time.
Not 10 to 20 thousand years as is the case with BotW's distance from the rest of the series
The Hyrule depicted in OoT would remember its own damn founding, as opposed to BotW Hyrule which had not even consistently been the same fricking Hyrule depending on the timeline
>Twilight Princess had double Links going on.
Because Link's deal is also often a bloodline, the 'spirit of the hero' is probably not his soul reincarnating- and if it is then the hero's shade doesn't contradict that anyway as its appearances would still play by Avatar rules
Rauru's time seems to be before SS sword or retcons it. It also seems to be OoT, due to literally copy pasting the kneeling scene and btw, those two garudo women behind him? Wanna take a guess who they are? their names are written right on em.
>Rauru's time seems to be before SS
No?
>It also seems to be OoT
Yeah kinda, it's a soft reboot of OoT by definition
It's before or it's retconning SS.
>It's a second founding of Hyrule! I mean yea it's basically the same founding again but with space goat It "fbuddists
Does not cut it. It's basically the same idea.
SS did not show the founding of Hyrule, neither it or 'hylian' is mentioned even once
Incidentally, Rauru describes Sonia as a hylian when he meets her
Zelda always reuses characters. Just look at all the Impas. And of course there's Link and Zelda. This wouldn't even be the first time Twinrova were reused. This also isn't the first time a Zelda game has copy pasted parts of another. ALBW doesn't retcon ALttP.
Botk takes place after the other games.
The Idea from WW onward has been
Zelda and her powers are tied to a bloodline.
Link and his abilities are tied to a soul reborn/awakened in a time of need.
Ganon/Ganondorf were always the same one. Resurrected over and over again. You know, the whole fricking point of BotW and Calamity Ganon.
Ganondorf's mutually exclusive appearances such as in FSA have been defined as proper reincarnation, unlike the Links where there can occasionally be no connection between them other than circumstance and a courageous personality
why do the gerudo keep naming their male child Ganondorf every time he's born. maybe if they named him Paul or something he's chill tf out and not become the villain again.
There's the guy you buy the bawd suit from in BotW
He's Hylian.
>Hyrule Castle specifically was crucial to keeping Ganon imprisonmed, and that's why it was built in that location
Anon, the Calamity in BotW fricked the castle up way worse than its ever been fricked up before. Even in OoT it was just knocked down, in BotW the damage was done with the malice infested it for over a fricking century. It took over 100 years for him to free himself, and this was AFTER 10,000+ years of the seal slowly weakening and leading up to the calamity. He didn't free himself in the older games because Rauru's seal wasn't built of bubblegum and prayers, that shit took forever and an apocalypse to cut loose.
Cia merged the timelines in Hyrule Warriors 1
I'm glad i'm not the only one who think Hyrule Warriors might actually be canon. Because it would explain so much with BotW.
>ocarina of time implied that breeding with Hylian men was going to dilute Gerudo blood
No it didn't.
Malon
Talon gives he same line in response to the Goron Mask, it's just a joke.
of time implied that breeding with Hylian men was going to dilute Gerudo blood and eventually cause them to be absorbed into the Hylian population
Nice headcanon
Malon is half gerudo
Nah.
>ocarina of time implied that breeding with Hylian men was going to dilute Gerudo blood
Yeah, no it didn't.
>ocarina of time implied that breeding with Hylian men was going to dilute Gerudo blood and eventually cause them to be absorbed into the Hylian population
No it didn't. There's not a single implication of that anywhere in OoT
Nothing in OoT directly implies that the Gerudo were homogenized.
What ACTUALLY happened in Twilight Princess is unclear, but some shit went down for Hyrule to seize the Gerudo Desert as its own territory after they fricked up Ganondorf's execution.
>ocarina of time implied that breeding with Hylian men was going to dilute Gerudo blood and eventually cause them to be absorbed into the Hylian population
im a big fan of ooc, any source for this? i dont remember this ever mentioned. I only remember them being encouraged to seek out mates so they dont die out.
every zelda game outside of direct sequels has always been the creators doing whatever the frick they want to do regardless of what previous games said
You're thinking way more about it than the creators.

THERE WAS NEVER CONNECITON BETWEEN GAMES
they threw together some nonsense to shut you people up
It's a rape prevention course but for the rapist.
did you get sent to jail after repeatedly trying to participate in the underage lesson or did you realize that you could simply stand among the mannequins while wearing the desert outfit, successfully camouflaging yourself
I just talked to an NPC randomly (probably one of the kids listening in to the adult class) and they told me about hiding with the mannequins. The kid class is kinda pointless anyway, all it does is spell out where to find one of the engravings. From what I saw, nothing interesting happens from blending with the practice mannequins
doesnt matter when ur an adolescent who loves his mental disabilities among gods
>They specifically have shit to tell you that you can sneak into the teen version of the class by wearing the full Voe set and sneaking over the wall to stand on the empty dummy spot
>It doesn't actually do anything important, you just get to listen in on the class for the younger Gerudo
>They seem way more aware of manipulating men with the teacher even saying one seems scarily gifted
Okay, what did they actually mean by all this?
gorons are trannies
they are sexless rocks
You will never be a rock
nooooOOOOOOOOO!
>you will NEVER be this happy
Why even live?
Its over.
It served two purposes:
1st was to eavesdrop and learn one of the kid’s dad got put into jail and you can visit him using Ascend. I still have no idea what purpose this serves since it doesn’t prompt a quest and all he and his kid do is tell you about the wife who you already met because you need the full Desert Voe armor set in the first place to eavesdrop. The guy’s still in jail after everything gets resolved and his wife never says anything new so I guess it’s an oversight from development.
2nd is to hint you on the location of one of the stelae for another quest where you need to take pictures.
I know that’s not what you’re trying to get at because cute and funny but I just felt like talking about the game
The jail hint is also for a stele
I got thrown in jail because i thought i would spook them by putting on the yiga outfit
People/koroks all over will cower in fear of you if you have the Phantom Ganon set on
they also cower in fear if you have the tingle set
That does seem like a mistake. That's not like Zelda, honestly. They must've had a quest flowchart like
find out about imprisoned man > learn about secret shop > get full voe set > learn about secret shop? Unusual.
They tell you some of the locations of the heroine spheres if you haven't done that quest yet.
One of the stelae is in the jail, also the guy and his daughter are supposed to hint at the location of the secret shop.
Riju is the romantic type, she wants the Gerudo to go out and date Hylian men instead of kidnapping them for snu snu. It's her personal plan with Link too.
The best leader in Hyrule.
>TP had the gerudo race purge because of "muh ganondorf"
>ToTk Zelda will pull this shit because of
TP had the Gerudos further out in the desert because they didn't have dev time to make anything
They had the dev time, the devs are just shit
No they didn't, the game is fricking barren and still ended up missing shit that they planned to include even after being delayed for a year to add more content
ok fine the devs are shit and didn’t have the time
that is a child
>OMG IT'S AN 18 YEAR OLD CHILD!!!!!
Fricking americans I swear.
Why is she so perfect bros? A few more years and she will easily rival Urbosa.
She was already way hotter than Urbosa ever was in the first game
She's certainly the best sage.
Unironically she’s perfect the way she is currently. Any more changes and you’ll be pressing the “Frick Go Back” button
I don't know, I wouldn't mind this
>Riju is desperate, frightened, frustrated and at the end of her tether
>The second she sees Link, that all evaporates and she knows everything will be alright now
I absolutely fricking loved what they did with Zelda in this game, how -without any reason to believe he could- she just assured everyone that Link would win, and could stop Ganon, and setup a thousand year alliance to support him.
And Riju's exactly the same, it's 100% the sense of pure trust and acknowledgement.
My only complaint is they didn't do more with Paya.
Hetsu should have been a sage.
>-without any reason to believe he could-
he saved the kingdom while having no memories, all pure natural talent and muscle memory.
The frick you mean " no reason to believe he could?
If there is someone alive she knew that could save everyone, it was link.
>he saved the kingdom while having no memories
He could've had his memories by that point, depending on your completion
God I wish BotW's ending didn't shit the bed, because that "courage need not be remembered" line is quite possibly the hardest line anyone's ever said in the entire series
progression wise, you are not supposed to have your memories till you get he last one in the castle and that is after you beat all 4 divine beast and blights
Well yeah, but you don't 'save the kingdom' until you beat Ganon
Before that you're just saving individual villages, with help
Hebe erotic
Imagine a few years down the line, with Link and Zelda happily living together, when Riju suddenly asks them to come to Gerudo town for something important.
Then, now with Riju as big as Urbosa, she has to explain to them how she's at the point where she's supposed to go find a Voe. And so she asks Zelda if she'd be alright with "lending" her Link.
Zelda agrees but only if she can be the one in charge of it as a threeway
Exquisite taste anon.

TOTK has a lot of soul, but you can tell certain areas/races got the special treatment and some degree of favoritism
And that's a good thing. Bless whichever dev built this entire town around his fetishes.
I’m sad the underground shelter got vacated after the Gerudo situation gets cleared up. It was maximum comfy- like a community dwelling but not overly crowded.
Whoever did the Great Fairies is one sick frick.
That's clearly Aonuma and his mommy fetish
>final upgrade animation
They rape Link don't they?
Full, veganal, Submersion.
I mean when Botw came out we hadn't had Gerudo since Majora's mask
Is she legal in TotK?
All the Gerudo seem to talk about Link as if he's meant to be Riju's voe or could be or whatever. They seem real keen on her fricking Link.
But, like, she doesn't look at all like the other Gerudo women we see in the game actually going out to get Voe. All the ones in the advanced Voe & You class are of the more "adult" body type.
Is Riju actually just a womanlet among Gerudo?
She’s explicitly 12 in BOTW according to some official source, and given how TOTK can’t be more than 4-5 years after BOTW, that makes her 16, 17, or maybe even 18 at the oldest, pervert anon
don’t worry, I’m a perv, too
>16
that's legal here so only you are the perv actually you pedo freak
That's legal almost everywhere, californians are just the most cucked people on the planet
>and given how TOTK can’t be more than 4-5
TotK is 6 years
She was 12 in BotW so if the timeskip is 5-6 years then she's 17-18 in TotK. Mature enough but potentially still growing taller.
She was hotter in BOTW
>caring about a drawing's age
Go back.
I think they're going with a subversion of expectation thing with the sages.
Yunobu is a Goron. Known for being tough and manly, but he's timid and has a baby's voice.(It's even more apparent in the Japanese dub, where he sounds just like a little boy)
Sidon may seem like a normal zora at first. But Look at it symbolically. All important Zoras before him were women. And his sister probably would have been a sage, if she didn't die. This is because water is often associated as a feminine kind of trait. Most folklore associated with magical water people, are women. Also, the water are often associated with the moon. And the moon is another feminine symbol.(The sun being masculine) So with Sidon, you have this super masculine princely character(princes are associated with lions, and lions are associate with the sun), who is filling a feminine roll. Dealing with defensive magic, water magic, and even healing magic, as he works to separate the sludge from the water.
Riju is pretty obvious. In that, Gerudos are all big and tall, but their leader is small.
I haven't identified how Tulin subverts expectations yet. Though, my current idea, is that it's simply the fact that he wanted to do everything alone at first. Which is counter to birds flocking together. But he learns his lesson so quickly, that I'm not sure that was all there was.
Tulin looks like a girl while his dad looks like a chad bird.
There was only one Chad bird in BotW and they decided to NOT have him in Tears. Even though there is a whole band for him to join.
By not being an butthole? Ravali was an ass, so...that means Tulin has to be a fan boy?
Rito are the odd ones out...because they only showed up in one game before BotW They are much less defined.
talking about Tulin, does anyone anyone else think everyone is just pretending his ability is super special and not just what Rivali did but side ways?
Tulin's ability was not particularly helpful, but convenient. I'd say he has the most useless ability, but there's Sidon. In combat too, I think the fact that his headshots make easily identifiable noise is what makes him stand out, not his actual contribution. Although it is convenient to have him around for lynels, if he can figure out where it actually is.
How can one man be so wrong?
The vast majority of gliding you do in the game doesn't require Tulin's help. Even in his own dungeon, at best he saves you a jump's worth of stamina. Even in the Colgera fight, he's the only sage that has absolutely nothing to contribute. But the seconds he saves by boosting around add up. The only times he seems to be working harder than the other sages is when he's sniping down enemy archers in encampments and such, but otherwise the others seem to take down much more than he does aside from those.
He’s not required but he gives you the most mileage out of any sage by far. Taking him first enables you to do major long distance gliding hurdles without having to farm hordes of stamina-recovery dishes, especially when you’ve yet to max out the stamina wheel. He’s the only ranged sage and can consistently land headshots that potentially one shot pesky foes from afar, giving him higher dps uptime if you even bother to care about that. The sheer utility of saving you seconds adds up when you consider the amount of time you’re spending playing the game. His ability is also the easiest to utilize because it’s immediately available the moment you pull out your glider- whereas you have to walk up to every other sage and press A to use their skills.
>Taking him first enables you to do major long distance gliding hurdles without having to farm hordes of stamina-recovery dishes
It's not even just this. Even with infinite stamina, you still descend as you glide. There have been so many times where I was able to get to sky islands that I never would have had the height and distance for without his boosts. He doesn't just reduce the need for stamina dishes, he reduces the need to pop out flying machines too.
Getting altitude is almost always more helpful than being able to move straight horizontally, and it's pretty obvious the game was designed to let you make most glides without his ability. That said, his ability does get a lot of mileage, but it doesn't really change what you do or how you play, except to save time. In combat, two other sages already do knockbacks with much more versatility than Tulin's gust, and the only enemies Tulin can one shot are ones that won't be much of a threat outside of the beginning of the game, and if you had Yunobo or especially Riju, you could much more easily delete tons more enemies. Not to mention Tulin's tendency to flap over when you're picking up items so he can blow them away as you mash A. If you ever watch the sages when you're downing something big though, it becomes obvious how much more the others are actually contributing compared to Tulin's periodic shots.
Still, the time saved argument is pretty big, especially in this game, which is the only reason I keep him out.
>Getting altitude is almost always more helpful than being able to move straight horizontally
Only when you word it dishonestly and leave out the context of their abilities.
Revali's gale was only usable from the ground where you can already make updrafts. Its only use case was making an updraft in the rain. And it would be completely worthless in totk thanks to fans.
Tulin's gust maintains altitude during a glide, and can be used anywhere. The only other way you can technically do this is by creating an updraft mid-air with hot peppers. But that invalidates Revali's gale even harder than it does Tulin's.
>the game was designed to let you make most glides without his ability
I've made loads of glides that were only possible with him. There were obviously other ways to get to the destinations because it's totk and there's always a way to skip/not use everything. But he's saved me having to make flying machines or go along the intended path of sky islands plenty of times.
>whereas you have to walk up to every other sage and press A to use their skills.
This boils my piss. Riju's power should have just been ZR + A to shoot lightning arrow without the shitty highfive tag team mechanic and slow AoE build up. And put Sidon's bubble to ZL + A while you're at it and have it function as a parry with better active frames instead.
Revali's gale was almost entirely useless. You could already make updrafts on demand that weren't on a cooldown. I almost never used it.
On the other hand, I use Tulin's ability constantly. More distance on glides is extremely convenient. And there's not really any other way to do that.
Tulin subverts the traditional structure of his area by being a kid.
In the BotW and TotK Hyrule, they play everything pretty straight when it comes to age. All of the major players are adults, except for Riju. Every child is portrayed as a kawaii-uguu jellybean.
Then, during the blizzard, the adults are all spinning their wheels while the kids take over the town. Tulin saves the town when his dad, who helped Link fight off Medoh and should have been the first person to fly to the rescue, wasn't able to. And he does this by engaging seriously with the content of a children's fairy tale, which the adults brush off as nonsense.
>subverts the traditional structure of his area by being a kid
That’s literally the entire idea behind TOTK’s sages/successors being a newer generation of fighters
Tulin is the only new sage. The others were already the modern equivalents of the four Champions. He was the only one who wasn't already battle tested.
Riju was already surfing around beneath a giant robot deflecting lightning before she ever became a sage. They literally built a statue to honor Sidon's skill in battle.
maybe she won't fricking suck in the inevitable age of calamity sequel like she did in the first
even fricking hestu was more enjoyable to play as
Fair point. It’s kinda odd how they’re trying to phase out Teba since he’s clearly the odd one out (every sage is effectively a teenager/the definition of youth in respect to their race) despite him showing up in AoC
inb4 non-canon
>phase out the chaddest character in the continuity that isn't named link
>keep fricking yunobo
teba should just take his job as fire sage
I was going to say what the other anon said. TotK has a whole "passing the torch" theme going on. There are other rather progressive ideas. Like how Cece threatens to upset the traditions of Hateno, and almost wins the election.
How Sidon becomes king at the end of his story. Also, how Sidon replaces the history on all the stone slabs with his own thoughts. Effectively starting a new chapter in Zora history.
The goron blacksmith passing ownership of his shop to his apprentice.
Yunobo starting a new business that effectively takes over the mining business of his predecessor.
I haven't done Gerudo's story in TotK yet. So I don't know what awaits me there. But I'm betting I'll find something similar in theme.
And of course, every sage from Rauru's time, explicitly stating that they're passing their power down to the new sages.
>Like how Cece threatens to upset the traditions of Hateno, and almost wins the election.
That quest ended up being based. Progress is good but should not be done in an abandonment of tradition.
I suppose. I just hate how it forces the player to assist Cece. I see her as pretty much a villain. And so you have to assist a villain in nearly ruining the whole village. We only avoid such a catastrophe due to Cece's sister forcing Cece to act like a human for once in her life. But imagine if her sister didn't have an emotional outburst suddenly. Or imagine if Cece didn't back down. Then what would have happened? Something bad, certainly. And it would be on the player's hands for helping her along.
Oh I absolutely agree. Frick Cece. If it had been a binary choice I would have hardlined assisting the mayor without question. I just ended up enjoying it thematically.
Yeah, I really didn't like handing out those mushrooms. Not only was it helping a shitty person, but the fact that you had to specifically give them to people who didn't like what she was doing to the town felt downright antagonistic.
At least there's cheese girl.
Riju being Link's height just makes her more adorable.
>What are they teaching gerudo girls?
How to get properly BLEACHED:
>Don't find anyone at Lover's Pond on Tuft Mountain
>Random traveler mentions something about bringing a ring garland there
>Do it, nothing happens
Does Lover's Pond have any function or events in TOTK? Was kind of disappointed it's literally just a heart-shaped pond now.
It's just a fairy fountain now, if you go there at sunset(I think? forgot the time)fairies spawn.
Also if you want you can treat it as further fuel for the zelink blue ball storytelling. Zelda visits the pond constantly, and she writes in her diary that Link is always beside her, they potentially go there together.
I mean the sex ed classes must be weird. None of them have seen a guy before, let alone a dick.
I'm more and more convinced Tauro wants to frick Paya
Isn’t it the other way around? Paya constantly fangirls over Tauro. She doesn’t even get flustered over Link when he goes topless anymore and just faces the other way in disdain
Tauro's the one with her picture by his bed
>She literally turns around unable to face Link when he's naked.
>She even comments how she thinks she would be able to handle it this time but fails with a flustered face.
What are you on about?
Idk, the one time I talked to Paya shirtless she didn’t turn around and just spoke calmly with what seemed like contempt or indifference at the kindest in response to Link’s behavior
Talk to her again. That's all she does when I talk to her naked.
She has different responses for shirtless and nude
She seems to just cycle the three conversations if you're shirtless/nude.
Is there a more haunted and tragic Link than OoT Link? The guy’s entire adventure and the relationships he built up with all the people he met got nullified for the greater good. Nobody remembers him or the time they spent together. No wonder he died with so much regret that he never passed on to the afterlife
As a calves man I'm a BIG fan of Gerudo girls

>male and female romance is crazy

>Thread about Gerudo sex ed

This is what happens when Nintendo won't let me get involved in Gerudo sex ed
They went out of their way to make a brand new Gerudo hebe model making them the only race whose full lifecycle minus babies are represented in-game, and yet their parents tell them not to talk to me and when I try to get in on their classes they throw me in jail
This is an outrage, truly. There's nothing I can do but talk about other things
They taught them about Paupu fruit.
Why are Hylian men such homosexuals? There’s a town full of desperate Amazonian women and yet they chose to frick ”””””””””women”””””””””” like this
No accounting for taste I guess.
>meanwhile nobody has scooped up Mina
Unbelievable.
Based. There's just something about her that separates her from the usual female NPC.
Something about knowing she's been gangraped by Bokoblins dozens of times makes my dick hard
If you believe Impa and the Zora monuments, OoT happened more than 10,000 years before BotW. Which means that there hasn't been a male Gerudo for OVER 10,000 YEARS because Ganon refuses to die.
"Urbosa's Fury", indeed.
Since Ganondorf they exiled or killed all male Garudo. We actually met one in BotW
really? that's pretty fricked up. I thought a Gerudo male wasn't being born because Ganon is still alive. It's pretty grug tier logic on the Gerudo's behalf if they really do that. I thought they were smarter than that. And then they complain about not being able to find 'Voe'? Are they goron level IQ?
I'm pretty sure the anon just made that up. He put his headcanon in spoilers to make it sound more convincing. Words spoken in hushed tones, always sound more convincing.
I doubt it. They still have styles of clothing for adult voes. Also, their children are almost guaranteed to be born outside of Gerudo town and they will have a non-Gerudo father. If they were doing anything unpleasant to the once a century boy you'd have one or both parents sending them into hiding where they now can't be monitored by Gerudo society and are more likely to turn bad because people tried to kill them when they were a baby. They probably just treat the boy like how noble hostages usually were in the middle ages, treating him nicely but still technically as a prisoner under close supervision.
It's mostly head canon. But there is a very odd "vai" in BotW, if you played the game you know full damn well who I speak of.
The way how "she" is designed implies that they are Garudo. Dark/brown skin tone, bright red hair, amber/yellow eyes.
It's a hylian as far as the game is concerned, obviously they wouldn't want to design an entire new character model just for that one little joke, and TotK throws all that shit from BotW away anyway so who knows
Dude's built like a Hylian. The Gerudo at the bazaar even think he's a Hylian vai.
Nah, Tears and BotW make it pretty clear there's been no other Gerudo males since Ganon hasn't died
Anon, Gerudo males are a biological phenomena, not Ganondorf reincarnating every 100 years after dying

Disgusting Gen Z aesthetic invades the sanctity of Zelda. Hate it. But at least they're the bad guys.
Amazon mohawk is literally an 80's trope, zoomer election tourist
Yes, and a lot of fashion choices in the last 5-10 years, have been retreading of the 80s. All that vaporwave stuff, and blue/purple color schemes. Borrowed from the 80s.
Don't worry, I would have called the 80s version disgusting too. But it's clear that these designs are coming back around, because of a greater Gen Z influence. I also like how you identify the mohawk as one of my complaints, but not the septum ring.
That disgusting Zoomer fashion, is just revisiting disgusting punk fashion. However you call it, it's ugly as frick. You'll also notice that nose piercings are far-FAR less common back in the day. Septum piercings, and other nose israeliteelry are at an all time high.
zoomzooms do not have mohawks, period
Well admittedly, the mohawk came back for younger millenials like 10 years ago. And in a smaller form. But for a while, everyone was wearing a little mohawk. Which coincided with the undercut. Which is more or less the same thing. the definitions are a little blurry. The undercut persists today, except it's commonly referred to as a fad. And a lot of people get that fade with curly hair on top, which gives that broccoli headed stereotypical gen Z look. It's all connected. You can argue what style has more or less hair, and if that matters. But they're all styles that are tall on the top, and buzzed on the sides.
The side shave is not a mohawk
You would never in a million years mistake someone with what in 2016 was known as a 'nazi hairstyle' for being an 80's fantasy character
>Well the sides are shaved and the top is longish...that means it's a mohawk!
you are infact a zoomer and can only see the world through the lens of your youth.
>>Well the sides are shaved and the top is longish...that means it's a mohawk!
You're not arguing against me. You're arguing against society.
Zoomers think mohawk are cool. It's just that they just don't commit fully to the older punk look. Rather, they get a socially acceptable watered down version of it in real life. And then give the full fledge punk version of it to their OCs and avatars in their fantasy worlds.
Anon, there's literally a term for what you're trying to argue.
>doesn't know the difference between a mohawk and fauxhawk
Ah yes, when I see a giant mohawk, I think Zoomer. Not the punks of a by gone era.
The gerudo in that drawing should be a head taller than the hylian.

sex
One of my favorite absurd things in BotW/TotK's world is how unbelievably well the gerudo get on with other women. Imagine a world where people live mostly in small villages (that realistically would need a lot more families to do a lot more farming/work) where a tribe of exotic women roam around looking for "husbands" to give them a babby to take back to shifting sand lands. Maybe people wouldn't mind if one showed up every now and again to hook up with the town's odd weirdo bachelor/gentleman of exemplary taste, but it makes it seem like they're a fairly regular and mundane presence. The villages are mostly filled with hylian families and even a lot of randos mention having a wife (Abe Approved). There sure are a decent amount of gerudo.
It's hard to think about the implications without imagining that the women would eventually start greeting the gerudo with pitchforks.
Pretty big brain take my guy.
Approved.
>Makeela Riju
>not Makeea
Were the translators so tired of holding so many Ls that they started putting them into the game. Her first name is Maki-a in Japan.
Actually frick it, they should have just called her Machia, because that's the word the Japanese name was clearly evoking. "Chosen by the gods for a purpose", in other words the chief.
