The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Nintendo 3DS 2011

[mikerio01]

Wanted to make a render of Malon racing on the horses with Link, but the biggest issue I immediately came across was her dress; I don't know if you can ride horses (at least comfortably) wearing a long dress, so I decided to scrap her dress for this render and gave her some pants. I figured jeans make the most sense to match the ranch aesthetic! I also gave Lon Lon Ranch some updated textures to make it look more appealing!

Might use this version of her in future works but we'll see.

the camera is positioned from Links POV, I might come back to this eventually to make it from a third person POV.

It was raining and Harvey wore a cute green raincoat. And, I used Wumiibo to get Epona! She moves in tomorrow!!

[miharuhebinata]

a lot was covered in this new trailer but i think we can all agree that the most important was that

YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR OUTFIT. YOU LITERALLY GET TO PLAY DRESS UP WITH ZELDA OH MY GOD ALL MY DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE THANK YOU GOD AND ALSO JESUS AMEN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Epona: "Everyone in town knows I'm stylish. I guess that's why Ganon has been asking me for fashion advice! We'll see how it goes, but I think Ganon is definitely someone I can become better friends with!"

[linderosse]

Epona!

Accessories and outfits!

Makin’ smoothies for status buffs!

Conditional Ultrahand!

A potential Dark World???

It’s a bit too early to tell for sure, but I think Nintendo might have actually achieved the blend of 2D Zelda and 3D Zelda fans have been clamoring for since OoT released over 25 years ago.

I’m so hyped!!!

New Trailer

Wisdomverse

(More under the cut)

That said, the placement of Kakariko Village under Death Mountain (like OoT) instead of in the east half of the map (like ALttp/ALBW) is interesting. And (Kakariko seems to be in its place!) we’re confirming that all the OoT/MM races— Gerudo, Deku Scrubs(!!) are present alongside the River and Lake Zoras (like in the Oracle Era).

More points in favor of this being situated after OoT, so potentially between OoT and ALttP— essentially, making this Zelda the Downfall Timeline version of Lullaby, or the Zelda directly before Fable.

This’ll have interesting implications for what the combined timeline will look like if I fold Echo into Fable, or if I make her a new Zelda :)

Either way, I can’t wait!!!

Here is my late rambling analysis of the new LU update:

I love Wind's face and posture. He's just like "Challenge accepted!" Hyrule and Wild my beloveds <3

A lot of people saw this sequence and went "oh no something bad is going to happen to Epona!" but I took it to mean that Epona doesn't want to go in the dungeon and that Twilight knows that Epona will be just fine hanging out outside (tasty snack time ehehehe).

I can't put my finger on exactly what's changed about the coloring but WOW it is popping. So vibrant. I love it. Made my eyes happy.

Also I love it when Jojo draws the gang in lines like this. It makes me think that she's doing it for fun (just like when you draw your OCs in lineups a million times cuz it makes you happy), that she still loves and takes great pride in showing off her blorbos.

Also, Wild is taller than Legend (and Hyrule) >:)

I love that he spelled this out to the others. Makes so much sense. In Lord of the Rings terms, most of the other Links are like Frodo and Sam running around to secretly bring the ring to Mordor, while Warriors is like Aragorn who straight up charged the Black Gates of Mordor with an army.

It's so funny how all the other heroes automatically assumed that Warriors' Hyrule had dungeons and that he just didn't bother to go through them. XD

So this implies that A) that comic where Wild and Hyrule met the wallmaster happened recently and B) it was sometime when Wars wasn't there with them, which makes me think that the wallmaster comic happened at the same time as this comic:

And then there's this:

I can't remember where I read it but I seem to remember Jojo saying that Legend was the most likely to prank others and this is an example of that. This is a characterization that surprised me at first (I would have expected Wind or Hyrule to be more of a prankster) but if you think about Who Legend Is, it actually makes a lot of sense.

I was trying to figure out which game this skulltula is from and my conclusion is that I think it is most similar to skulltulas from OOT 3D / MM 3D. I wonder if that means that they are in or near Time's time. Either that or this is a case of monsters getting mixed up between Hyrules like we saw in the Threatening Shadows story arc.

Time is clearly very wound up still over what happened to Twilight. While all the other heroes have seemed to pretty much bounced back after that harrowing incident and are caught up in youthful optimism and the excitement of a new dungeon, Time hasn't forgotten and he wants to make sure the heroes don't forget the seriousness of their situation and their enemy. Just because the Shadow was defeated once doesn't mean that they can do it again so easily (not that it was easy before).

My writer brain immediately interpreted this as foreshadowing that they aren't going to even make it to the central chamber before the group gets involuntarily broken up (trap doors my beloved mwahaha). Of course that may not end up being the case, they may make it the central chamber without incident.

I figure that ideally the group will split into 3 groups of 3, each group having at least one older Link (Time, Wars, Twi, Sky) and one younger Link (Four, Legend Hyrule, Wild, Wind). How much you wanna bet that Time wants Twi with him in order to keep an eye on him/protect him?

Anyways, that's all I got. Bye!

Things tloz has not been consistent about that you'd think it would be:

Everything. Buckle up.

The hero being called Link. He's Link in the same way Frisk is the character. The player chooses the name in every SINGLE game up until botw, and that only happened because of the voice acting. It's just shorthand for the link between the player and the game.

The princess being called zelda. Wind waker, she was called Tetra.

The princess being in the game at all (links awakening)

There only being one princess (the hero of either hyrule or legend had two)

There only being one hero (hyrule warriors had three and also linkle)

The princess not being a playable character (hw, aoc, and upcoming EoW. There's also non canon games like cadence and smash bros).

The master sword being in the game (four swords, minish cap, triforce heroes (?), ooa/oos only have it as a linked game post story unlockable, zelda 1,2 and la it was the magical sword).

Ganon being in the game (basically the exact same as the last point minus the 1st 3 games)

Ganon being a bad guy (hyrule warriors and generously, GENEROUSLY aoc, where he's playable as an ally post game).

The master sword being needed to defeat ganon (in botw aoc and totk the master sword is entirely optional, and totally inverts the traditional 'zelda weakens and link deals the final blow').

Link being the main character (upcoming eow which I'm cackling about)

The existence of humanity

Link being in green (abotk made him blue :( and took his hat >:((().

Zelda being in pink (abotk)

Zelda being blonde (she's anything from blonde to brown to ginger)

Link being blonde (tp and lttp (why is he pink?! Zelda is blonde! There's brown haired people! Why neon pink??)

Gerudo having rounded ears (up until abotk)

Nintendo making the games (hw and aoc, cadence lol)

Teen/kid link (totk is the only Link over the age of 19)

Link having a companion (it's pretty evenly split)

Zelda having the companion (aoc and eow)

Link having two companions (hw with basically all of them)

The nature of humanity vs hylians

The story taking place in hyrule (literally so many... La, mm, ooa, oos, technically ww, technically ss, half points for lttp and lbw, tfh)

Just the one triforce (lbw)

Just three separate pieces of the triforce (ww)

Any triforce at all (okay this one is complicated bcz depiction/hand marks/Actual Wish Granting Triforce but hylia alone knows where the triforce was in abotk. I'm counting ooa/oos because opening cutscene. La has zilch and I'm pretty sure mc too.)

Literally any religion has come and gone INCLUDING IRL CHRISTIANITY

Knowledge of the triforce

Knowledge of hylia (it's literally just ss abotk and maaaybe lbw)

The existence of hylia (^^^

The general populace being useless (totk) (that's it)

Link being left handed (in ss and abotk he's right handed. Tp is 50% right handed because they flipped the controls (and world) for the wii).

Link being able to swim at the start of the game (only in the 3d games minus lbw and la remake)

Link succeeding in his quest (botw) (I'm not counting failed hero oot because it's a meta attempt at a working timeline)

At least a tiny bit of time travel (loz 1/2, la, fs, lbw, lttp, botw...)

The hylian shield (only appears in the 3d games! (-la remake and ww and mm))

Link using a bow! (surprisingly 50/50)

Epona!! (literally just oot mm and tp. Botk she's noncanon amiibo and she's in mc but doesn't belong to Link T-T.)

A tutorial (varying subtlety, yes, but there's a difference between the great plateau and a 'press x to open menu :D' prompt five minutes into the game while a knight is trying to kill you (lttp)).

Link having the hero's spirit (ww. I personally disagree but hey)

The hero being a hylian! (totk hero's aspect)

Sleepy boy link (botk he has power naps On Lock)

Link being masc presenting (linkle, hw)

The symbolic elements (3/5/7 combos, lightning/ice/water/fire/wind triforce, boar/owl/dragon/whatever tf)

Things tloz has been consistent about in every game:

Link being a gnc short king (tp is the beefiest he ever got and that was 4'9 male gymnast build at BEST).

Him not telling anyone anything important ever.

Also while I'm horse girl posting oh my god the riding in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask is atrocious. Forget critiquing Link's riding posture, we have much, much bigger problems here.

First off in OOT Epona's saddle has no stirrups, but more importantly she's not wearing a bridle. Link holds his hand as if he's holding reigns but there are none. In Majora's Mask Link is riding bareback, but still holds his hands as if he's holding reigns, which, again, do not exist. I can give Majora's Mask a pass on this because I know it was made in a year, and I'm even willing to give OOT a pass because idk maybe it really would've been too difficult to model reigns and stirrups on an N64 game, but listen. I played the 3DS versions. Could they not have modeled some on the 3DS??? While they were remodeling a bunch anyway??? Come on.

Second, Epona does not look old enough to ride in Majora's Mask. Again, I'm willing to give a pass on this since the game was made in a year, I know they had to reuse as many assets as possible to put production time toward the things that actually mattered, but still. It made me very uncomfortable while playing the game. I don't know how old Epona is supposed to be here but I'm unconvinced she's even a yearling. That horse has NOT finished growing. Link you're going to fuck her up forever. Get off her back right now.

Third, and most importantly, oh my god why are you whipping this horse every time you spur her on. There is debate to be had about whips in riding that I'm not getting into because I'm super unqualified for it, but I think pretty much everyone can agree that whipping a horse behind the heel every time you spur her on is unquestionably animal abuse. My teachers would've strangled me if I'd tried that. Probably the horses would've bucked me off and trampled me. I can believe Ingo would ride like that and I can believe Link would copy him because he doesn't know better but Malon would beat him to death with a shovel about it. I get that they needed a visual indicator to show Link spurring her on but you could've picked literally anything else. I am not giving them a pass on this. It's uncomfortable and made me wince every time and I actively avoided using Epona's top speed because of it. Stop whipping that horse or I'll start whipping you.

[skylertheminish]

Sooo... I bought mhs1 on the switch, hate how I couldn't find a physical version here in the UK and I don't have space for it on my sd card that has my other MH games (I just want to keep them together). Anyway this artwork though! Cheval is so pissed off!

I hope the zelda dlc is in this version but I suspect that's not the case. Least I can still beat Deviljho with Epona on the 3ds original.

I'm an idiot. I've just noticed the other characters from the anime Monster Hunter Stories Ride on! I'm blanking on their names but I recognise their monsters from the anime! The hooded lad has the White Monoblos in the anime and his brother, who's a jerk admittedly, has the standard Monoblos.

Everytime I see the old Star Stable games map or the full Jorvik map that sse hinted to (could still be changed after all) I really want to see more areas open up.

They have given us wild woods so the new areas arnt completely forgotten, just not a priority. I just really want to see the other places up north.

So this post is mostly dedicated to see how much more needs to be updated and my thoughts about it.

I will seperate area, as in landscape, and settlements as they are usually updated at different times.

Settlements:

Cape West Fishing Village - I hope they dont change too much with Cape West, I just really like the vibe the village have.

Goldenleaf Stable - might be upated along side Cape West. But gives it its own notible mention.

Jorvik Stables - Like with Cape West, I hope it doesnt get too big of a change. As its from the orginal Starshine Legacy games it has too much memory. But they did complelty change soul riders and dark riders, so who knows...

Jarlaheim - One of the most asked places to be updated I think. I do wonder what SSE will do with it. Personally Im not that into it. I just like the wall and it being on different levels. I dont mind if they do a big change to it.

Cresent Moon Village - Bit of a forgetten place. But hey, Scott is from there.

New Hillcrest - I think New Hillcrest can wait to be updated last. It doesnt look that bad.

Dew's Farm - I dont know if we ever going to make it liveble again or if it will just be updated ruins.

The Unfortunate Dews farm - with the ancient tree restored the ground should start to heal. I wont be surprised if there will an update like with the baroness race track where the farm will be updated alongside a quest to fix it up and have the Dew family move in.

Jaspers Pumpkin Farm - Maybe it will be updated alongside Cape West or it will be silently updated. Its not alot going on there.

Valedale Village - I love for it too look like it did in the comic.

Wolf Hall Inn - not much going on here either. But it will be updated to fit the style at some point.

Areas:

Im not sure if they will bother updating the landscape of some areas, SSO might stop with the updated texture and plants and wont do more.

Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur - defenitly up there on the wish list players have for being updated. It really need a good update.

Hidden frozen valley- I will keep these two areas separate for now, they have a little difference vibes from eachother.

South Hoof Peninsula - the area have new plants and 3d grass but the ground and rock textures are still the old ones.

North Harvest counties - the area around Jorvik stables and Jarlaheim is so tight that if they are going to change the landscape it will most likely be together with the town or/and stable. As for the forgotten fields, do it really need a big update?

Western Epona - I dont really mind this place. Maybe just round some corners and update some items.

Eastern Epona - I would love to see an updated swamp. As long as they keep it mystic.

Theres probably more areas people can talk about. But these are what I could think about.

Feel free to mention your own opinions.

[gotnothingbutyaoi]

As I age and replay through the Zelda games I realize that I have opinions on them that aren't always the popular ones, so I'll just rate them here and explain later.

At the very bottom of my list is the games that I have barely played and are just there.

Zelda 2 and Phantom Hourglass, I played them once years ago and for like two hours max.

Next is one the only zelda game I hate! Triforce Heros, I hate it that's my review of it. It's one of the only games I have played that replaying it worsened my opinion off it. I did not finish it on my rerun.

OoT(3DS), it's low on the list and I will not apologize for it. Not a big fan of it. Getting Epona always piss me off, the forest temple always annoy me and the gold skulltula quest is not worth finishing.

The wild Era of Zelda (BotW & TotK). It's not that I don't like them It's that they don't feel like zelda games. But overall I do like them but less than the rest.

Wind Waker(GameCube), love it but it as it's problems. It would be higher but it's a bit too grindy and at time stupidly difficult for no reasons (looking at you Orca, like really 500 hit for one heart piece?!), and puppet Ganon is horid.

A Link between worlds, it's great! I did not enjoy it the first time but I was also not good at games then. I got it when it released played through it in one go and didn't touch it for years (until last year) and after replaying it I really liked it, but some of the mini games leave to be desired.

Skyward Sword, I have both versions and I love them both! I will say it the motions controls were quite good and the side quests were fine, no there isn't too many side quests. The part I did not like was Demise fight I didn't understood how it worked but love Girahim.

Hyrule Warrior's (DE), I have played all three versions, I have played and replayed this game so many time and I never get tired. Love Volga the most out of the new characters (I'm a dragon person, like I have a collection of dragon statues and plushies) and Wizro the least.

Majora's Mask(3DS), I LOVE MM, it's my favorite one, I just need to hear the music to want to play it again and I will play it again. I always 100% it, the quests are just so good and the story is also really good and weird. But fuck Snowhead temple it's always the one temple I'm not exited to replay. I always forget the Ikanna well.

I am currently replaying TP I'll give my thoughts on it when I'm done with it. And I'll make post to go in depth on my thoughts on the other games too.
