Anagram 07/30/23 1:19:42 PM #170: | Good! Cadence of Hyrule Master Sword Princess Zelda (Spirit Tracks) Koji Kondo Triforce: This can't be the first "if you get it, you get a free wish" thing in fiction, of course, but it's the first one I remember. Or maybe not, maybe it's the Dragon Balls. I dunno. What I do know is that for all the trouble it causes, the goddesses should've just chucked it back into Heaven or whatever. I think it's only ever been used to do one good thing that wasn't just undoing damage caused by someone pursuing it, and that's restoring Lanayru, right? It also has the vaguest powers and properties in fiction. It's a physical object that's bigger than the King of Hyrule, but it can also exist as an invisible tattoo on the back of your hand, but each piece of it can also be shattered into seven pieces... The Triforce of Courage gives you courage, but to obtain it, you need to already be the chosen hero of the goddesses who's already the most courageous person in the land. The Triforce of Power gives you power, but they can't just stop it from going to the villain who's the most powerful. And the Triforce of Wisdom goes to Zelda, even though she is never wise in any of these games. The only game where Zelda can even possibly MAYBE be called wise is BotW, and even then, that's stretching the defintion of the word. And then Zelda is also actually the reincarnation of the goddess Hylia, who isn't the three goddesses who created the Triforce, but was given the full Triforce by them, so that's why she can wield it??? And let's not even try to factor in the Light Force or the relation between Hylia and Hylians. Like, the logic and lore of this thing makes zero sense even by "it doesn't matter" standards, but I'd be lying if I said I cared. I really only hold it against the games that go all-in on the deep lore; for OoT or LoZ, it's fine. In any case, I consider the Triforce to be the ultimate macguffin of video games. I can't think of anything else that even remotely compares to it. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Gerudo Outfit (BotW) Swordless Link Trick (OoT): The actual trick itself is just kind of neat, but opening up Epona to glitchy usages of C-items is what really makes this fun. I've never done it, but hovering with the hookshot, using any item on Epona's back, and I didn't even know about the purple fog glitch or the zombie glitch. This is such a unique thing to video games as opposed to other mediums, glitches. The nearest equivalent I can think of is like when they released Star Trek TNG in HD, and you could see all of the marks on the floor that couldn't be seen in the initial broadcast, and you just watch as the characters walked over to their marks, and it was hilarious. The Missing Link Goron Hookshot Hearts Song of Storms: God, I love it. This and Gerudo Valley are really the standouts of OoT. I can't really explain music stuff, but I like how it feels circular, round and round, and circus-y? It has nothing to do with rain at all, but that's okay. I remember once playing this game and taking a really long time in the windmill for whatever reason, and my sister got annoyed because the song gave her a headache. And now I'm listening to youtube remixes of it that are just awful. "Song of Storms Epic Version," get out of here. CD-I Cutscenes Legend of Zelda (Name) Great Fairies The Vision in Lanayru Spring: I like how awkwardly Link and Girl laugh when they see this. Her suddenly holding a knife and having white eyes is actually slightly creepy, not bad. Good use of creepy voice music. Evil Link's creepy face is also great, I have to believe this is the source of many memes I haven't seen over the years. Niezsche pseudo-quote about power while laughing girls fall through the abyss, nice. I kind of like this, actually, even though I have zero memory of it from when I played the game a billion years ago. Skull Kid Going Straight to Castle Hyrule in BotW Japanese Link to the Past commercial Hey, Listen! The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Z3R Bongo Bongo Anju/Kafei Quest Magnet Gloves BotW Cooking Jingle Hestu's Gift Cia: Dr. Pavel, I'm CIA. Anyway, you might think I dislike HW's OCs, but you'd be wrong. I'm fine with them in a stupid spinoff game, that's fine. I guess I shouldn't be that surprised at Cia's design, it's actually less risque than OoT's great fairies... but the great fairies in OoT use 1998 technology, so they look like ugly blocks arranged in a mostly womanish shape. Cia uses 2014 technology, so she actually looks like a woman. I actually like her mask more than her face, too. Anyway, the idea of a villain whose only motivation is to bone Link, so she starts a gigantic war to that end, is hilarious. Too bad she gets Zanted and replaced by Ganondorf at the end, but that's the way it goes. Has Bowser ever done that, actually? Secretly been behind another villain as part of a master scheme? I don't think he has, Bowser doesn't seem smart enough for that. Probably everyone will agree that Cia > Lana, right? Her design is just way more striking and less DeviantArt OC-y. Although, now that I'm looking at her gallery on the Wiki, I just realized that Cia's original good form is light-skinned, then she has her goodness shaved off and it turns into Lana, and the evil that remains gets a deep tan? I don't know what to think of that. Also, this good form of her clothing looks a lot like a wedding dress, that has to be intentional, but I don't know why? Because she likes Link? So odd. Anyway, I was sad when she died, because it meant Lana lived. I would absolutely have preferred Cia to live over Lana, are you kidding? Stone Tower Temple Linkle His Name is Zelda: Zelda is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills octoroks and doesnt afraid of anything.
