the brainrot won

[shellshooked]

there’s enough brainrot abt this au to write like a book series so I thought i would finally introduce it properly,, so here goes NOTHING !!

image descriptions:

jedi knight (botw) zelda conversating with padawan ahsoka tano strolling through the jedi temple on coruscant

there’s a firm reason the jedi council never allow commander link (botw) and general anakin skywalker on the same missions during the clone wars

general zelda and link (tp) of the rebel cell referred to as the twilight squadron debriefing their next attack towards the empire

jedi padawan link (ww) and his pirate best friend tetra have no idea what they’re about to face up against when his clone captain suddenly aims his blaster in their direction, claiming to execute the unknown directive of order 66..

NEW ZELDA

[ganondoodle]

(totk rewritten)

finally, all the arm and spirit abilities- for the first half of the game (rauru) and for the second half with the shiekah arm replacing links arms instead and the spirit abilities gained through ganondorf

(please excuse my handwriting and sometimes repeated info on the first two, i lost motivation/patience at the end and couldnt get myself to basically redo it all from scratch just to make it a bit more cleaner)

note, the camera rune is unconnected to the arm, its the shiekah stone copy link has (zelda carries the one from botw, a copy was attempted to be made for link but it lacks all runes except the camera, the map and its teleportation, and journal/archive)

note for the heal effects of some spirit abilities- im also reworking the healing system, making it more like the older games, so healing isnt as easy and much more restricted, thus making those effects of spirit abilities more valuable ( lil potion icon on the d pad will act a little bit like in skyward sword, opens your limited selection of healing items and if chosen link switches to holding it and letting you consume it with -a- while walking around in real time- to avoid more pausing and mass healing on regular items while in menu)

additional note, the automatic recharging of the magic meter depending on the environment gives you a reliable but less abusable way of using abilities and allows for even more creative dungeon/challenge design by using it effectively- it works by absorbing magic from its surroundings, so if its an area with little magic it recharges slower, if its a very spiritual or healthy place it will recharge faster, it can be used to make things more challenging and also as subtle storytelling (example, theres a graveyard with the magic energy around being off the charts, even if there are no spirits to see, it could hint at the people buried not having died peacefully, no matter what their gravestone says...)

the usage of magic and how much the different abilities cost also allows for a much more dynamic fighting style for players to choose and try out, balancing them all out with their cost instead of a fixed timer, and the recharging beign affected by the environment perhaps forcing players that favor high cost magic abilities to use the lower cost ones for example, or not being able to charge one up bc the enemy is too fast and doesnt give you enough time to charge it

about half of the small overworld dungeons (not shrines) are also locked/inaccessible for the first half and new quests appear as the second half commences- together with the additional changes raurus return brings with it (sonau buildings, enemies being mostly cosntructs that he summoned etc) and whole set of new abilities giving you a fresh new way to play while (hopefully) not making you feel too restricted for the first half

... making these detailed concepts took me longer than id like to admit q-q

some people are upset Zelda ever deviated and moved towards such an open world concept, but, there's a reason these games blew up with both the Zelda and non-Zelda crowd. for me, I find these games a lot more accessible than the other 3D Zelda games I've tried, Ocarina of Time was eventually a DNF for me and I just watched the rest of the story on youtube, Wind Waker was pretty okay but I don't have the console and don't have 60+ hours to spend at my friend's house (anytime soon. even though I did live with her for a while ((and she follows me here so hi if you see this)) but shhh i wasn't in a gamey mood then). The 2D games, I'm better at, and I do enjoy them, but the expansive nature of Breath of the Wild/TOTK is just... something really fun and unique

I have no idea where they'll take Zelda next. Hell I don't even know where Nintendo is going next, I know the switch is at "the end of it's life cycle" but like... what on earth is going to replace it?

anyway, for Zelda, if they go back to the more linear formula, I won't be mad. I'm excited for their next 2D venture, it seems to combine the creativity of BOTW with the story type of traditional Zeldas, AND you get to play as the Princess in question! beyond that... no idea. I'm eager to see. I just hope whatever they do remains as accessible to people who aren't hardcore gamers who find Dark Souls a walk in the park, the people who want the game to be more punishing, well.... if there are options to have harder modes, I wouldn't begrudge that at all. I think that's fine. I just like it when games are still playable for people who suck at combat or have bad handeye coordination and spatial reasoning, like me.

Danganronpa/Another Episode.........TWO

[ganondoodle]

i know im an overemotional, overreactive pathetic little wimp about my hyperfixation, and i dont even mean that derogatory, i think its both my best AND worst quality, im well aware of it, especially in moments when im already stressed i have a hard time to get my brain back into control, im so well aware of it that i HAVE been managing to learn how to deal with it actually which is why, instead of letting myself spiral any further, i went to bed to let my brain calm down

and it worked!

i still hate the live action zelda thing, i still think it WILL be bad, and it will still negatively affect how i feel about the franchise as a whole, i am not spiraling out of control about it though, which i think is a win in my book, some people hate that i say my opinion at all though, more on twitter than here so hey, im grateful to not be called pathetic to my face bc i said something someone might decry as too 'weird'

[verflares]

I’d be interested in hearing your apparent strong opinions on other Zelda games

i used to think skyward sword was too hard and nearly gave my wiimote bitemarks trying to pass the lumpy pumpkin harp minigame in 2011
