yea mad respect I was laughing abit to it was adorable literally him being a fool the whole he is like that most of the time tho who wouldn't agree with me

[@TheBasedTyrant]

One of the things I appreciate about ToTK is that all of the races actually have problems, and the problem isn't that a divine beast is circling around far enough from town for everything to be pretty normal. In BoTW the only people who seemed to have problems were the Zora and the Gorons, and the problem wasn't even bad enough that they had to bunker down. In this game there is a palpable feeling of that something is very wrong as soon as you arrive.

[@kylinor3025]

I agree :) However.. 😅 Medoh was shooting down the Rito that flew too high, which is a problem for a race meant to soar in the skies. And Naboris was making dust storms and getting closer to civilization. The people of the desert need to utilize the land to get resources, so having a giant zappy stomper was a major hazard. Once again I do agree and your comment reminded me of a funny mini-comic, so thank you :) ...now I'm thinking about the lore behind the Divine Beasts 😂 They were corrupted by Calamity Ganon, so if they were kinda stupid, it's canonically because Ganondorf's angry stink cloud was a bit daft lol. I really like how TotK feels like the devs built off of BotW and made up for a lot of its mistakes 😁 (But BotW just feels like a beta and I have even less desire to play it more 😬)

[@obits3]

It was pretty funny watching him scavenge the ship for arrows durring the boss battle. I had already found the dive challenge, so all of my instincts said to dive through the ice and it worked in one dive. Doing the battle with dives meant I only needed to menu to heal, so the battle was pretty fast paced, diving through ice shards. All I could hear was that robot at challenge island telling me to have courage and just dive.

The difference between people who don't know or else aren't invested in the lore and PointCrow is insane.

Almost makes me wish I had played all the previous games. so I knew the story and what everything meant.

[@couragew6260]

I found someone in a different video commenting about wanting Ganondorf to have more backstory as some kind of former good guy or something, and I was so confused at his reasoning. Like, dude, Ganondorf NEVER has a good guy backstory. Now, he may be considered a hero by some of his people depending on the game’s setting, but Ganon ultimately craves power for himself alone and shouldn’t care at all about his own people’s well-being.

[@a.j.cookie9735]

@@couragew6260 In a way I can kind of understand what that other person is getting at. They might be implying subtle differences between Demise and his hatred vs Ganondorf, in an effort to humanise the human version. The closest we got to a differentiation between the two is in a retroactive way in Wind Waker; if Ganondorf wasn’t the vessel for Demise’s curse, chances are that Hyrule wouldn’t end up in terrible shape as it always does; the reasoning for that Ganondorf’s takeover of Hyrule was because he (apparently) envied the lush environment of Hyrule compared to the harsh conditions of Gerudo desert, and he desired it for himself. So it makes you wonder why he would try to destroy that beauty once he’s gotten hold of it instead of securing and protecting it for himself. Demise is all about destruction, and it seems Ganondorf transforms into Ganon (the beast) whenever Demise’s curse overwhelms the Gerudo ‘vessel’s’ consciousness and sense of reasoning. Even before that complete takeover happens, there’s a chance that Demise is influencing Ganondorf’s actions to the point that his own motives becomes warped by Demise’s own goals. It’s a bit of a weird theory of mine, but I can see why a ‘good’ Ganondorf might seem appealing. Not saying he would be an actual good guy, as a hero, it’s more like him being a more reasonable and multi dimensional character when he isn’t under Demise’s influence, instead of simply being the power hungry tyrant we tend to see. Wind Waker Ganondorf comes close to being his own person, since he pretty much threw Demise under the bus at the end of that game, he didn’t change into his demon beast form at all and went down feeling at peace with himself, implying that this Ganondorf freed himself of Demise’s influence. That’s what separates Ganondorf from Link imo. Both of them could be perceived as vessels for two legendary souls, but whereas each Link possesses the courage of the hero while retaining his own sense of self, with Ganondorf it seems like Demise is directly influencing his actions most of the time while the Ganondorf part of him is suppressed.

[@merlith4650]

@@a.j.cookie9735 i disagree. the whole "multi-dimensional, just misunderstood" take on villains is infesting every bloody franchise these days. it's an incredibly annoying trope. just plz have the classic evil villains stay in character. i don't want any more "subvertion of expectations" and retcons to make them "relatable". i have never been under the impression that Ganondorf is "mind controlled" by different, i would go so far to say completely undermines his legacy as a villain if he's just a tool. it's like if it was suddenly revealed that Sheev Palpatine in Star Wars wasn't actually that evil after all, and that the "Darth Sidious" persona was actually just engineered into him by someone else. besides this theory of "Demise influence" doesn't really make sense, since "Demise" technically doesn't exist anymore, it's just his hatred that lives on. Ganon/Ganondorf is an reincarnation of that hatred to the bone, it's not really equivalent to that of a possession. i would say it's more implied that if Demise hatred seized to reincarnate then there never would be born a Ganondorf in the first place.

I know I’m late, but I love reading these comments. I played totk yesterday for the first time and I bet I had the biggest, dumbest, smile on my face when Link jumped off the sky island. It definitely reminded me of botw, and I’m glad that game gave me joy. Can’t wait to see what totk will do for me.

[@jbcvabeach82]

Agreed, the comments on the stream chats are annyoing AF. I think its minors or LD kids though :(

[@gargles5270]

i was leaning over my switch with my hands covering my mouth like a little boy, it was the best feeling i’ve had in recent memory lmao i love seeing people get really excited about it

[@gabrielthegamingking3628]

Love how chat is absolutely down HORRENDOUS for Purrah. They start collectively simping every time she’s on screen, and it only gets worse each time. I completely understand it, I mean she is cute, but still. Listen to Eric, y’all need to touch some grass.

Lol the chat just spams SMASH it’s hilarious but she is hot not gonna lie.

PointCrow killing Colgera in the complete opposite way of how I killed him made me realize how freeing this game really is.

He made that boss at the end SOOOO much harder for himself, but I freaking loved it😂😂

[@smusky4643]

Nah, you hate it, don't lie 😔

[@dinkyShlinky7500]

There was a point when the boss starting throwing off the spikes on his back, and if he had waited less than 2 seconds, he would have had the solution in front of him. But he dove down to look for arrows😭😂

[@XenoWars]

He would have known, yes. But to say so much harder is incorrect. Its not intuitive that you can just dive straight through the ice (in or out of the boss) when youre conditioned to think youll take damage from it.

[@thorbre577]

@@XenoWars The dungeon and the surrounding area already established the concept of breakable ice. The game established from the start that you can dive. But I see your point, and so much harder was a bit of a stretch, at worst it just took longer. There are probably several ways to beat the boss that has yet to be discovered.

Thank you for streaming this in such quantities. I was forced to realize I don't have enough vision for these kinds of open world games anymore, so Im tuning in religiously! You can thank RGT83 the not Nintendo youtuber for that. He was singing its praises and I was like "I have to experience this somehow!"

Watching a full PointCcrow VOD > watching a 2 hour movie

[@Da_TboneLife]

What I did for the rubble door in the wind temple was use ultrahand to fuse to the gear, move the gear in rotation, and then use recall to rotate it automatically and go through the door.

[@ninjacoughdrop]

I'm finally watching some of your TOTK videos (been avoiding spoilers while I play). I love the opening scenes so much! When it comes to Zelda's character, I love that she finally gets to be the scholar nerd she always wanted to be. Then of course, they did a wonderful job increasing tension as you go deeper. SO GOOD!
