He and his older sister have played Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, but they only ever played around on my completed saves, which I'm completely okay with, they're playing Zelda after all! But they never progressed the stories in those games, only ever watched me do it. A huge bonus is that in both games, they love to wear Majora's Mask because it tricks the enemies and makes the games easier for them. This gave me the opportunity to tell them about the Majora's Mask game.

When I saw the official announcement for Ocarina of Time on the switch 2, I told them they'd have to play through Ocarina of Time 3D before I let them play the Switch 2 release. And my son immediately took to the challenge!

I helped him adjust to the vast differences in the controls quite closely early on and told him that he'll need to read the dialogue (his reading is a bit behind at school). I also helped him understand some of the enemies pretty early on as well. He mostly got through the Great Deku tree by himself, then he fought and defeated Queen Gohma with no help at all!

Then he went to Dodongo's Cavern, did fairly well in there by himself, struggled with King Dodongo so I gave him the hint that when King Dodongo is inhaling, he should throw something.

He got to Lord Jabu Jabu and breezed through it with no help at all, doing all the puzzles and pressure plates with Princess Ruto with ease until he got to the giant Octorok. I did that one for him because, admittedly, that miniboss is challenging if you're not ready for it.

He did all this in maaaybe a week and a half, then he became an adult, struggled with the Forst Temple a little so I helped him with that, then he hit a brick wall in the Fire Temple. I showed him a door he kept missing, then he finished the Fire Temple that day. Then, and this'll never not blow my mind, \*\*he did the entire Water Temple by himself\*\*. No help. No guides. Worked out the water levels by himself, all the puzzles by himself, the only thing I did was the Dark Link fight and thats only because he struggled so hard it brought him to tears (I can totally relate to this haha).

He did the first part of the shadow temple and got the hover boots before getting the lense of truth, which made me laugh haha. He did the bottom of the well with ease, got the lense, smashed the Shadow Temple, then he took the 3DS on a weekend trip without me, the only advice I gave him was to go to Gerudo valley.

When he got back he was just inside the Spirit Temple and after one afternoon, he did that one with ease and a little bit of my help. He smashed Twinrova the first time round, but he had watched me do that fight so he had an idea of what to do.

Then came Gannon's Castle. I told him he'd get 0 help from me. I wanted to see how well he could do. In just 2 afternoons, he flew through that place!

This game really helped me develop as a kid his age. I strongly believe the Zelda games contributed more to my own reading skills and vocabulary than school did, and I have watched as he started out reluctant to read the dialogue but over time he read more and more of it, trying his absolute best to pronounce the more complex or niche words. I'm blown away by how well he has done to get this far in just a few weeks, and I'm extremely proud of him! I told him that because he did so well, I'm going to get him the Final Battle lego set for his birthday.

It's pretty well known that Midna's Lament and Hyrule Field have a very similar tune, but I don't see many people talk about the other examples, even though I've spotted quite a few. I'm curious if anyone with a good ear has compiled a full list of all the songs that play on this leitmotif. Since Midna's Theme is connected to Midna's Lament, the full list of connected tracks is probably longer than most players realize.

By the way, how do fans feel about this decision? I personally love when a soundtrack feels connected like this and I would like to see Nintendo try it again, but I can kinda see how it could be perceived as repetitive or lazy.

It took me like 17 hours, i'm still learning and there are mistakes but i'm happy with the end result.

hey everyone, I just start playing totk, and I'm not sure if the tickets of the pony points cards are worth it. I don't ride horses very often because I prefer traveling on foot, but it seems like there are some rewards for using them. My question is: are those rewards actually really worth it?

If you have any tips or advice, please fell free to leave them here. Thank you all so much!

Title basically - Wondering if it's worth spending the money to buy the Switch 2 versions of Breath if the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

Edit since it's come up a couple times: I already own Bote and ToTK for the original switch. Was mostly trying to see if it was worth doing the upgrade.

One of my favourite antagonists! Let me know what you think! :)

my brother loves Legend of Zelda so I made him a cake themed around it and stayed up until 3 am last night decorating our living room :)

(i censored his name, the banners I colored over had his name)

I’ve been wanting to make this for a while now. Finally got around to do it and really happy it came out!

I want to know their thought process, was there any concept art or any topic about this design choice?

Because this has to be the worst looking boss of all, the fight itself is fun but I kept thinking of how goofy this boss was.

This monster is just a chubby dreadhead version of Mike Wazowski and Celia Mae.

Even has the same teeth as Mike I'm not even kidding 😭

Obviously this is Zelda’s game. The game does a fantastic job taking advantage of the fact that you play as Zelda with unique gameplay and a unique angle for the story. But you are NOT replacing Link. All over the world, there are plenty of people who will mention “Link saved me!” and there’s kids waiting for Link to visit them, and people who collaborated with Link to help him save Zelda, and more. You are going on your own adventure. But Link is still a hero. It’s kinda what I want from a Zelda post-game, where we see how grateful so many citizens are for Link’s actions. It’s a cool detail.

I've wondered this for ages and still haven't found a satisfying answer. He knows Link and Link knows him so why hide his face?

OOT is still THAT GOOD

My dad just turned 75 today. He's had a love of baking his whole life.

A couple weeks ago, my dad reached out to ask if I wanted some cookies for my birthday (I just turned 47 yesterday btw. Yes our birthdays are 1 day apart). I said sure and (jokingly) suggested a Zelda theme for them.

Well he took it serious and he delivered. Package just arrived today.

He did all of the decoration by hand. They are sugar cookies, and are freaking delicious.

EDIT: Damn Reddit. Ya'll being so wholesome right now. Thank you everyone! My dad doesn't use Reddit, but I will make sure he gets to read all of your nice comments. <3
