The Legend of Zelda

So I just finished the game and had some alternate story ideas. I'll share mine and I'm curious to hear other people's ideas. These are just for fun, so don't get too riled up. I'm a sucker for dark endings.

(Spoilers ahead!)

1. Mineru was a traitor all along and was conspiring with Ganondorf. She was jealous of Rauru getting to be king, and when he marries Sonia she becomes king and has more power over Hyrule than Mineru. In the cutscene where Ganondorf kills Sonia, it's Mineru who does it instead. Link only learns of this at the end, when mineru leads him astray at the bottom of the depths where Ganondorf is.!<

2. After defeating Ganondorf, Zelda does not transform back. She remains a dragon and wanders off into the distance. Link is saddened by this. The ghost of Rauru sees this and tells link to cut open his hand. His secret stone was inside, and link eats it, becoming a dragon himself. He flies into the horizon to be with Zelda as dragons.!<

3. Another idea for Mineru is that, instead of being a traitor, she's actually the Twilight Princess, Midna in her Twili form. Instead of the Owl mask, she woulda had her Midna mask (which looks like a sage mask!)!<

I always screw up the fan placement :') Took me a second to work out why it was flying weird!

A recap of the story and lore of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. In Part 1 of 2, we follow Zelda into the distant past, where she meets King Rauru and Queen Sonia, and becomes entangled in the terrifying Imprisoning War.

NOTE: This video contains spoilers for Tears of the Kingdom.

I jumped in to explore. Now a silver lynel is on my ass, not sure if I should teleport away

I have a few I hate. Those decoy trees are a pain to kill. Those gloom hands are scary AF. Only dealt with 1 but it was terrifying Anything gloom is annoying.

I have 5 hearts and 9 defense from my armor. My strongest weapon has 20 damage. I noticed I'm too unequipped for most stuff. I get 1 shot by any miniboss and boss bokos.

I don't have much of the map. Only the first tower and a tiny bit of depths. Any advice? Where can I get decent early-mid game loot?

What are some of your routines when a blood moon hits?

I was working on upgrading my barbarian set, so I fought some lynels and got a few fairies from some stable wells. I'm assuming some people have a bigger checklist for blood moons and I'm looking to grow mine.

It's 3 fans at 45 degrees on a cart with a steering stick.

The 2 dragon spike shards allow it to fly ever so slightly nose up at neutral stick.

Whack a korok on the front as well and it'll just about stick to the ground or water surface!

Take off anywhere and land anywhere! Surprisingly controllable! Get Yours Now!

Took 5 hours 49 minutes, enjoyed every second of it! Played with a friend and 100% completed.

This happened exactly one time in the 200 hours I've played. Not that I use Dazzlefruit all that often. Maybe this is super common, but I haven't heard anyone else mention it. I think it's a cute little Easter egg they added, like how skydiving at night sometimes makes Star Fragments appear right behind you.

Just mooching around on the Great Plateau and Link started climbing over some shrooms. Seems to be one of those hollow tree stumps, but with no texture.

How awesome!

A lot of people seem to feel that TotK is so much better than BotW, in so many ways, that playing BotW any more would feel almost pointless.

While I can understand that, TotK is truly amazing in almost every way, I find myself missing BotW.

I miss that desolate feeling, the Guardian induced anxiety, and the difficulty of a lot of BotW that I feel is missing from TotK.

BotW and TotK are the 2 sides of a single coin, neither complete without the other.

I'm already looking forward to another playthrough of both games! (only 68% so far on TotK still!)

I just discovered this channel about the physics of the game engine and how items interact. Is there anything else like this that you all use?

In BOTW I know I was still watching "X number of things you still don't know about BOTW" up till TOTK came out. I enjoy the quick rapid info style as I'm sure there will be things we continue to discover about this came for years.

I put 4 fans on the underside of a wing and was able to fly it for over 10 minutes!

When my battery was depleted and I was gliding to recharge the normal wing timer started but when the fans were powered again the timer stopped and I could fly indefinitely!

Am doing the newspaper questline after I reunited them all... so happy for them but fuck PLEASE can you guys learn a new song?

Or, even finish the one you're currently playing, it's only 30 seconds or so long and just loops forever. I've had to start muting the game whenever I'm near a stable, I write music for a living and this week had that sodding theme (along with the 'Yah yah!" from the conducter) stuck in my head for days, one of the worst earworms I've ever had. When I finally got some music done, one of the synths now strongly reminds me of 'Yah yah!", noooooo.

Would be great if we could have sliders for the music / sound FX, at this point I'd rather put a Spotify playlist of classical music on!

I know I'm not the only one with an overflowing meme folder. This place should be packed. I can't even waste a few minutes here before I'm out of new stuff.

As the title says, do you prefer to upgrade hearts or stamina at any given moment?
