The Zelda Thread

Neowin is obsessed with the 32X I love all these decomps and reversed engineered games, especially if they integrate a modding system.

Hnnng.... So it's botw with Skylands and tacky new abilities?
Slightly less looking forward to it now than I was TBH, but I'll still probably get it eventually because the world looks fun to explore.

My real question is can I fuse a tree branch to the master sword for an unbreakable tree branch? Or fuse the master sword to a savage lynel crusher for an unbreakable crusher..
Basically I just want a weapon I don't have to replace every 30 seconds, even if I only use it for mining rocks.

I'm excited to see what kind of crazy shit people can do with the engine. I hope that Nintendo left things a little half-baked for some really goofy exploits.

I also want to see how the story goes and if it has any connection to Skyward Sword.

Well, looking at that trailer my fun is slightly less soft than it was, but still not as hard as BOTW made my fun...

It looks like action will be a top priority, which sounds like fun to me. IGN gives Legend of Zelda: Nuts and Bolts a 5/5.

Everyone at Nintendo I'm sure are feeling indifferent, upset, or angry...

But I'm sure the Ninja Lawyer Hitmen Squad are thrilled! they're probably hunting and beating the retailers that leaked now, murdering anyone who has a genuine copy of the game, and torturing those unfortunate enough to have acquired a pirate copy.

Not even a force more powerful than all the gods can protect anyone who's streamed or leaked gameplay footage, they've already been forced to watch the Ninja Lawyer Hitmen Squad kill all their families and friends slowly in front of them, been stripped of everything they have ever or will ever own, jailed for 5 years and been chemically castrated for daring to try and ruin even 1 fraction of a sale.

It's a good time to to be a Ninja Lawyer Hitman!

.....I dunno why but seeing this makes me wanna give Zelda 2 for the NES one more shot.

Any tips?

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Use an emulator, save states and a guide.

100% agree on that advice, especially save states. Finite lives in a Zelda game doesn't work for me

If you're playing in Windows, there this version that might be worth a look:

Reviews [...]

I'm glad that the technical reviews are giving it high marks. My biggest worry was that it would run worse than BotW.

I'll play it and I know I'll have a good time. It's hard to compare these new games to ones I've played for 30 years, and probably prefer the older titles just for nostalgia. But that's anything these days.
