Tears of the Kingdom Liveblog Part 2

Part 1 Part 3

After about 6+ more hours of playing, I’ve got some more notes to drop:

- Ah so this Penn is the Kass of this game

- Gotta get to a stable soon!

- Shape puzzle Shrine (derogatory)

- I wonder if one of the towers will have been taken over by monsters or something like that?

- It seems this one has them

- PAYA <3

- She’s the new chief!

- I feel like there’s more to this Tauro guy

- Sages, huh?

- Poor cucco guy…

- A TREE???

- Autism icon Zelda

- I guess it’s canon Link never brought the Hateno house

- Time to get the camera rune!

- Ok so we’ve got to go underground first

- Detour to cure a grandma in Kakariko

- The Depths are fun

- Non-binary Misko?

- Ok so they’re just retconning Skyward Sword completely lol

- Either that or Sonia is a close descendant of SkSw Zelda?

- Is Zelda part alien.

- Also it seems like Link canonically ignored the Koroks the first time around!

just fought final stage Ghirahim

um

my hands are still shaking

cuz like–I did the boss rush to get a piece of heart right before so it’s a double adrenaline whammy

and man, I LOVE Ghirahim.  The insults in his dialogue, his growing frustration with Link, his devotion to Demise.......

and GROOSE

JUST GROOSE

HE IS THE BEST GROOSE THAT EVER GROOSED AND I LOVE HIM

dang

[luminecho]

OH SHIT? OKAY

[fabledteeth]

the fire temple boss is giving sksw rock ball boss.... trauma being relived rn

[breath-of-the-twink]

growing up only playing handheld consoles with headphones makes playing on a tv with an audience so weird. the mortifying ordeal of being known + also fear of being embarrassed

but also apparently invites my sibling to chant "gay bastard" at/about Ghirahim's introduction despite knowing nothing abt him, so at least there's that

[breath-of-the-twink]

Sign of a great character is that Owlan is so kind and understanding that I cant even be mad at him bc of the way he delivers the news that you couldn't do the spin training right

[breath-of-the-twink]

Sh

She VAULTED off of him

Fantastic to know Zelda was as chaotic as ever

[breath-of-the-twink]

Go ahead and keep calling out my shaky hands slingshot, thanks a million

THEY'RE EATING BAMBOO SHOOTS FOR DINNER IN PEATRICE'S HOUSE THATS SO CUTE

[breath-of-the-twink]

I feel like these lilies are here for a reason but I can't figure out what

A memorial seems like a little much wrt the simplicity but the place is crawling with monsters, and there's that sign outside, so...

idk they just SEEM deliberate especially with the firefly, and I couldn't get the fantastic mood lighting coming from the open walls of the cave in the screenshot, it's just a lovely little scene?

@musashi any input?? or is it just a nice little design detail?

IT'S GOT ARMS NOW?!?!?!?!
