Ocarina of Time Shield Surfing like BotW/TotK... but even more like Tony Hawks Pro Skater

a mod i made for the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time port, Ship of Harkinian.
Song: Superman by Goldfinger

Everything’s fun and games until the game says “Your Deku Shield is badly damaged”.

Shhhhh

"The Master Sword is running low on energy" during final Ganon fight 💀

[@Claydood]

amazes me that people find the durability mechanic fun and defend it so hard. It wouldn't be so annoying if shields and weapons didn't break within 20 seconds of use

[@ChromiusMixin]

@@Claydood Apparently the Aonuma-sanctioned answer is along the lines of, "It gives combat more depth and encourages strategy", which I can only see that being true for a fairly small portion of the playerbase. In actuality, everything having close to useless durability values pushes me to stray away from combat on a large scale unless it's particularly valuable monsters like the Lynel family, commonly encountered bosses or story and DLC bosses. TOTK had a better answer to durability, at least the way I see it, but it then has the effect of raw unfused weapons being even more useless than their BOTW counterparts.

[@littleguystar]

@@Claydoodmy issue is less “aw my shield broke” and more like I already have 30 Royal Guard’s Shields so it literally doesn’t matter I’m just gonna use the same shield again lmfao

I love the idea link just made the main story a side quest, the main quest just became about finding the absolute best spots to shred with Navi constantly trying to get him back on track

[@Firestar4041]

I think there’s something cute about young link learning and sticking with his newfound passion of shield surfing/skate boarding, and bringing that passion into battle

[@TJ-Henry-Yoshi]

Quiet Navi! I gotta hit this sick line! This looks so unreasonably fun. Amazing mod.

[@Quaxo19]

Can we please talk about this fantastic N64 version of Goldfinger's "Superman"?! Chapeau 👏

With how impressive your mods are, I feel like you'll be able to bring OoT/MM into some hybrid with whole mask system and added transformations

[@cencil6497]

You're insanely skilled at modding OOT wow, very cool

[@dave9515]

Crazy how removing durability makes this actually fun. Never knew how deep shield surfing mechanics were because in tehg ames it exists you do it for like 10 minutes and "your shield is badly damaged" to "your shield is about to break". Also ngl but i feel like this and TP spinner are the coolest things int ehs eries. IDK tony hawk inspired stuff is always rad.

[@CoralCopperHead]

Just expand your shield inventory, stock up, and find places to do it that don't wreck your shield (hint: Hebra)

[@DemonicAdj]

I loved that Tears of the Kingdom let you make skateboards with the carts. I even kept a "collection" with the different carts (sky, zonai, homing, Goron) as decorated boards.

[@lpnp9477]

I played on emulator with the only cheat on being "shield surfing doesn't damage shields". That's it. Then I shield surfed all over totk

[@sirbig8292]

"Haha, yeah, that's fun but a bit bland, would be nice if someone made a skating montage with Superman by Goldf-" 0:19 *starts* "GODLIKE!"

That Tony Hawk was the only skate boarding game I ever played and it is very nostalgic to hear it here

[@Valientlink]

Since 2013 I always had this idea of a THPS style "single session" where you just do a freerun in 2 minutes of all the craziest trick combos there was, like TAS freeruns. Not it's looking like that might become a little more than I thought it would be lol.

Now i need the 3 MM mask (Deku ,Zora ,Goron ) in OOT with Link turning into them...
