I saw a theory that the Triforce parts were switched this time around, with Link getting Wisdom, Zelda Power, and Ganondorf Courage.

The Protomen enhanced my life.

Can you describe someone as a Badass Normal when they're a seven foot birdman capable of flight?
Well among the future champions he is the one with no special powers, just raw archery talent. He doesn't even have wind powers!

[up][up][up] Then make the demand for a female Link as the alternative. I mean, there is precedent to do so with old Japanese magazines, after all.

I mean, what's the worst that can happen with a female Link?

Oh believe me, I want either or pretty goddamn bad. I just feel like if it didn't happen now then it's because of some particularly misogynistic shot-caller exec.

It would be rad if we can choose the next Incarnation of Link being a Gerudo or Zora or whatever...

Revali seems to be very much the proverbially hawk bred from a kite, given that he is the one guy who does not have Super Powerful Genetics on his side and his power of wind was something he was explicitly said to have had to develop entirely through his own grit and talent.

Yeah, I like Revali better as a regular Rito who trained really hard without any special lineage.

Now that I think about it, it does make Revali's standoffishness sensible plus his Napoleon Complex.

There's def some weird design decision that went into this game. Like why is upgrading batteries a 3 step process? Why do you need the extra dude to turns Crystallized Charge into energy wells? Why not have the forge just take the ores and make you a well for 100 ores directly. It's not like there's a reason to save up Crystallized Charges.

It's even weirder coz the battery expansions don't do this much. the game drowns you in Zonai charges to recharge your battery, and shrines, where you'll do like 75% of the device building, have infinite power.

The part that's bugging me is the fusing weapons mechanic.

I get that they want people to try out the fuse power. But... did we really need to make all weapons pretty much useless without fusing?

What if I just want to wield a regular sword? Nope. Have to attach a boulder, or a plank, or another sword to it to make it worth anything in a fight. And a lot of the fused weapons just look stupid. Especially when you fuse two spears together.

This is maybe bugging me more than it should, but I feel like the "decay" caused by the Gloom was unnecessary. Have the option to fuse weapons together, sure, but don't make them completely useless when they're not fused!

Yeah.

I need a list of reliable materials to fuse with weapons.

[up][up] There's some potent weapons on their own? All the royal guard stuff hits pretty hard. You can get them from Hyrule castle throne room (It has no enemies and you can get there the moment the first tower unlocks)

You'd think fusing a ruby to a sword to make a flame sword would attach the rock to the hilt but nooo.

I'm really wondering what the development reason for the ghostly companions is. Why can't they just, y'now, be there.

For decent nonfused weapons you can also find undecayed weapons held by the statues underground.

Just yeet yourself at the highest central spire. There's a bow in a hole in the roof, and as you come down the central chamber theres royal guard shields and weapons strewn all over.

[up][up][up] Probably because they wanted the companions to vanish when in town or in certain areas.

[up][up][up][up]The development reason is...because it's more convenient to have a spirit teleport to you and no need to have extra dialogue for the order in which you complete the story.

And player convenience is...them not talking every time you activate their ability.

Story reason, you can literally do any temple in any order...

Also means the companions dont butt in on each other's story. So less writing.

My question is why in the year 2023 so many of the characters have unvoiced dialogue

I dont mean randos you mean on the road, I mean like, why do half the companions have maybe a third of their dialogue voiced and the rest is just them grunting.

Like there's not that much dialogue to begin with. Advanced Wars Reboot camp has the same thing. For all the fanfare of "The C Os are voiced now" they barely talk

I would also imagine it'll get obnoxiously worse if the dialog starts looping ad nauseum.

Even the Master Sword is vastly more effective with something fused to it (I use the Light Dragon shards myself)

Speaking of story, You'd think by the third time Link does a temple he'd just tell the companion "Yo it's your ancestor they wear a divine beast mask, they failed to kill Ganondorf, they want you to help me coz they swore to the sage of time which is clearly Zelda."

It's hilarious how they react like it's a surprise and a twist each time.

That's a tip I should consider. Most of my fusion are either the cores I get from beating the Construct III or turning my junk into hammers.

Then again, I just barely got my Master Sword back.
