re: zelda status 

@aescling it's not like i did a sequence break or anything; the zelda developers made a conscious decision to not give you the paraglider until after you get to the surface and complete this quest and i have decided to do different quests first

re: zelda status 

@aescling you only get it very early if you pursue the finding princess zelda quest which i don't care about yet

@KitRedgrave my brother is thinking of moving to one or the other

re: zelda status 

@aescling correctly? i'm just doing the quests i care about first

zelda status 

• i heard impa was doing some cool stuff so i went and visited her
• impa: “it's true we are high up in my balloon, but you can just float down with a paraglider” me:
• thankfully there was a river nearby and i just lept from the balloon into it
• went into the forgotten temple
• time to find all the geoglyphs!!
• marked them on my map, which of course is not filled out because i can’t get in the towers
• Journey Into Hebra
• found two geoglyphs but not the one i was looking for?? explored a bunch of caves
• finally found it
• hmm these rito folk need help i should assist them
• MURDEROUS BOUNCY BOATS
• (barely) made it to the top of the storm!! but i used up all my balloons and have no other means to get inside
• that’s right kids i still do not have a paraglider
• i will try again while saving a balloon tomorrow, i BET i can make it
• this would be a lot easier if i had rockets lmao

@coriander wind waker had the parry attack!! and the music did the thing and it was great!!

@coriander BOTW is like “link can use every weapon” but TP is like “link will murder you with a sword”

@coriander it's just missing so much of the swordsmanship

TP is like stab, horizontal slice, vertical slice, jump attack, spin attack, ending blow, back slice, helm splitter, mortal draw

BOTW is like, “dodge at the right time and press the button fast” it's just not the same

@coriander but combat in TP generally feels sooo good it's such an improvement on botw/totk

@coriander the one good thing about TP with motion controls was how incredibly satisfying it made the finishing blow feel

re: zelda thoughts 

@aescling i think it is antithetical to botw but i think it is NOT antithetical to totk. they just didn't want to deal with reviewers harshing on the game for having a challenge

zelda thoughts 

having things be easy to climb but hard to descend just adds so much more fun puzzle to the game

zelda thoughts 

it’s a better game without the paraglider and they were cowards for including it

zelda gameplay 

throwing a firebomb in front of a bokoblin cart and watching it burn is dope as fuck

zelda thoughts 

i don’t like that they made Zelda an Official Princess but her diary had a line which was like “it’s the people’s job to rebuild. it’s my job to protect them” which i thought was a very interesting mentality

them making her into a schoolteacher was very lol; glad nintendo in all their wisdom has decided to make their female lead’s passion be raising kids

zelda status 

• made it to my (and Zelda’s?? fucking tiny bed lmao) house
• did a bunch of things in hateno
• travelled up north to kakariko
• did a bunch of things there too
• there was a zonai hot air balloon contraption so i launched myself into the sky and then had to get very creative solving the shrine puzzle there
• SO MUCH “move the platform where you want it; move it back to you; use Rewind”
• finally tried doing a shrine on the surface and failed at it because it requires the paraglider which i STILL don’t have
• i do have lots of paraglider fabrics though
• rode my horse to dueling peaks stable FINALLY

@coriander somewhat relatedly i was trying to explain western feelings about sports to my east-coast significant other the other day and i’m still not sure “no but you see when the seahawks win is literally the only time the rest of the country talks about anything from WA state” quite sunk in to them

@coriander every time the new york times gives frontpage coverage to a local new york issue i am like “okay so this makes sense but also fuck you”
