Legend of Zelda - The official Zelda thread

[STM]

Seems more like an overpowered fan-service to let people play an Adult Link... except he's locked to Boss Battles only.

[Solar]

That's where you are wrong my dear STM

Well, yes, it is the spin slash. Point is... see that little triangle? Hacked out two years ago by the Zelda hacking scene. Say hi to OoT deleted Sword Beam. Actually, it was in the game and fully functional right up until release. It was then canned.

Whose brilliant idea was it?!

Those bastards.

Is it by chance accessible by Gameshark/AR code, or does it require actual rom patching?

[Satoryu]

except he's locked to Boss Battles only.

not quite. i know of at least two other methods to do this. this one's actually new to me.

[HokutoNoBen]

If I remember correctly, the cited reason was that they thought they couldn't get such a mechanic to work in 3D, with respect to how you (the player) would have to aim it and such, and thought it would be either too gimmicky or just would get in the way.

But hey, that's just 1 of SEVERAL different decisions about the game that could only make you go .  I remember finding so many goodies, using my GameShark and my Gold Cart.

Details please

New to me too o__O

[STM]

Ah, the gold cart... holds many fun little secrets. I'm glad I was able to pick it up when I found it at EB, box and all a few years ago.

[Jericho]

Details please

In terms of hidden goodies and secrets in the Ocarina of Time, I'll do you one better. You know about the Arwing in Kokiri Forest?

[Related: Suddenly Arwings. Millions of them. ]

The reason for this is because EAD3, while experimenting with the combat system for Zelda, actually experimented with the idea of Z-targeting as a result of Miyamoto's lock on system from Star Fox 64. It was obviously reworked for OoT, but the Arwing was put in in order to test the limits and overall mechanics (movement, shielding, attacking) of the Zelda lock on system as well as the programming for the distance and homing ability for the boomerang. The reason it's still in the game's code is because they completely forgot about that bit of code and considered it a small fan service to show what was most played by everyone at the time in EAD.

Yes I do, now, imagine if this replaced the cuccos as "enemies the WILL kill you if you don't GTFO of here"

[Acid]

Am I too late to post the idea of a game about Sheik only?

[VixyNyan]

Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl showed how good Shiek can be in a side-scrolling type game. ^^

Both the Adventure Mode and SubSpace Emissary.

[Nekomata]

Nobuyuki Hiyama.

[Satoryu]

Nobuyuki Hiyama.

best post yet.

[VixyNyan]

Nobuyuki Hiyama.

Everything that matters, this one. THE voice for Link. ^^

[Jericho]

Nobuyuki Hiyama.

Pretty much. After this, the thread can truly be closed and all would be well.

Who cares about the voice actor?

[Acid]

Who cares about the voice actor?

Nobody should.

Link having a voice in LttP for GBA was damn awkward and felt unnatural. Same for Yoshi in the GBA version of Yoshi's Island.

[Jericho]

Who cares about the voice actor?

It was just a joke ya know.

Besides, wouldn't you feel even the slightest bit weird if lets say, Charles Martinet didn't do Mario voices anymore? I guess he way I see it, it's just a bit of tradition that should be upheld for someone so iconic.

[Nekomata]

Who cares about the voice actor?

He's the king of braves. D:

[Acid]

In Zelda, he's the Joker of Silence.

[Hypershell]

Agreed on the first, denied on the second.  Yoshi's voice adds to the atmosphere.  Link's in LttP is unfitting; his age is a bit ambiguous but most of us were probably envisioning him as at least an adolescent and not a kid.

[Zan]

Link's in LttP is unfitting; his age is a bit ambiguous but most of us were probably envisioning him as at least an adolescent and not a kid.

Depending on the game, he IS a kid.

[Hypershell]

Nobody said otherwise.  But I don't think any of us saw him as OoT kid age in LttP.  Considering he is too young, not to mention too small, to handle the Master Sword at that time in OoT, he should be a LITTLE older.  Wind Waker gets away with similar vocals, but I think the cartoony art style has something to do with that.

[Acid]

Thread renamed and bumped.

After reading what I read I need to hump something guys.

Also, I'm here for the punching people with girls.
