It's possible, I'm running the theory this game takes place in a merged timeline myself.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #2201 on:** December 02, 2016, 06:48:49 AM

I've heard that theory. It's certainly possible.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2202 on:** December 02, 2016, 06:54:36 AM

If not I'm defaulting to Adult timeline since Koroks.

Mirby · **Reply #2203 on:** December 02, 2016, 08:19:32 AM

I honestly don't think it's the Adult timeline solely because of Koroks.

In the Adult timeline, everything of Hyrule was buried under the bottom of the ocean. The New Hyrule of ST would know nothing of the Temple of Time nor of the Goddess Hylia (of whom there's a statue of in the ruined Temple of Time). And you can't argue that this is before the flood because the Kokiri only evolved into the Korok after the flood occurred.

Yeah that's why I'm running Merged Timeline theory until Nintendo confirms what the heck is going on.

Mirby · **Reply #2205 on:** December 02, 2016, 09:42:14 AM

Honestly I'm banking on Downfall Timeline myself. The Koroks on their own don't really mean much to me (just because they evolved in the Adult Timeline doesn't mean they wouldn't evolve in a same way in another timeline) but the ruined Hyrulean landscape to me screams that it's sometime during that timeline. We'll see though.

EDIT: Although it is worth mentioning it could also be Child Timeline.

Mostly because this shot here:

Is an identical layout to Castle Town from TP. Specifically this part of it:

I AM SO GODDAMN HYPED FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breath of the Wild's Amiibo line was updated to also include Zelda and a Bokoblin, in addition to the previously shown archer Link, rider Link, and Guardian.

Finally, a Zelda amiibo that I like. Smash's was bad build quality and I'm not a fan of the Toon style in general.

LOOK AT THIS GAME INFORMER COVER, AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Mirby · **Reply #2213 on:** February 08, 2017, 12:02:08 AM

Link's lookin' at it like "this thing isn't gonna tell me my battery is low incessantly is it?"

OBJECTION MAN · **Reply #2214 on:** February 12, 2017, 08:08:28 PM

OK, that cover is legit awesome.

Was kind of expecting this honestly.

Amatiramisu · **Reply #2216 on:** February 15, 2017, 06:08:23 PM

I already was over this. This is basically bullshit where only the second wave of DLC is significant. The fact alone they're hiding hero mode behind a DLC paywall is genuinely scummy.

Good times

Mirby · **Reply #2218 on:** February 16, 2017, 09:01:21 AM

Times change, markets change.

And in my experience, not a single piece of Nintendo-created DLC was bad or unplayable, it was all high-fidelity and high-quality.

Plus, $20 is a decent price for all that stuff, honestly.

Hypershell · **Reply #2219 on:** February 26, 2017, 07:42:55 AM

Personally I think the last wave (new story/dungeon) is what will make or break it, since that's the only actual content. Not a fan of difficulty mode DLCs (really only ever bought them for Mega Man 9/10), and in Breath of the Wild in particular I think it's relatively pointless. Isn't the whole idea that you can basically go to the final boss for a super-hard fight right away if you really want to?

Also, "Map feature." *shrugs*

Nintendo's DLC track record is good but not spotless. Hyrule Warriors really screwed its Wii U adopters, offering "update" DLC for the Legends characters/weapons but not offering updated maps, which left it all feeling way overpriced.

I'll......probably buy it, because if I sink serious time into Breath of the Wild I'm not going to want to miss the add-ons. But for $20 that had better be one hell of an extra story.

Mirby · **Reply #2220 on:** February 26, 2017, 08:17:46 AM

Not really pointless when you consider how much of things Hero Mode and Master Quests are.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #2221 on:** March 05, 2017, 04:53:07 AM

/whispers

....I really really love this game

Hypershell · **Reply #2222 on:** March 05, 2017, 05:20:28 AM

I still hate breakable weapons, ESPECIALLY since your limited weapon slots make it impossible to hoard them. Not that it isn't fun to chuck a Bokoblin's own club at them and watch it break over their head, but some means of repairing/maintaining your favorites would have been nice. I mean, two-handed swords are FINALLY back, and I can't use them freely for fear of not having them when I need them, how much of a tease is that?

I love amiibo-summoning Epona and Wolf Link as soon as the Great Plateau is over. And infinite bombs, who doesn't love infinite bombs? You really can get lose yourself in the world, hunting for shrines and all.

Mirby · **Reply #2223 on:** March 06, 2017, 11:29:36 AM

Well you can expand your weapon/armor/bow slots so I mean it's not like you're stuck with that tiny amount forever.

Hypershell · **Reply #2224 on:** March 08, 2017, 02:30:39 AM

Yeah, I have a whopping two more. Not enough. Bow and Shield slots are manageable.

...btw, what is the point of boomerangs in this game? They don't return if they strike something, and you can throw any weapon you want.
