No way!!! I can't believe this was the 30 minute video you were teasing, I am so honored! Thank you so much for featuring our game :) the full release is still in active development, so stay tuned...

[@T1ggles]

never heard of this romhack but I am going to have to keep an eye out now

[@ScottFalco]

Like I said the hack just perfectly captures what I wanna see in a mainline, plus i figured getting more eyes on it might send some talented peeps your way that can help

[@Pownchao]

It's great to see the project be promoted even further! Thank you for delivering on everything that we could ever want from a new entry in the style of OoT! Like, this is the sequel I and many others have been dreaming of as kids, and we can't wait for a final release!🙏

That was low.

[@minithegameguy4674]

That minish stomp horrified me because I didn't even process what happened until Tayl asked "Did you just...?" And then I was hit like a truck when it finally hit me

[@Kulkogo]

I find it surprising that it would be Navi, the notorious tutorial slog of a side character, who made Links life miserable after their disappearance. But then again, they were always there for him, unlike pretty much everyone else…

[@mniakan754]

Not only Navi made life miserable for kid me, it made it miserable for “kid” Link during majora’s mask

[@bowenorcutt78]

Yeah, having her around was one of the only sources of comfort for the Well, Shadow Temple portion of the game.

[@PrismOpal64]

Y'all greatly exaggerate how intrusive Navi is. 95% of the time you can just ignore her. The most pushy she is during the first dungeon was because it was the first time players experienced a 3D space, so the devs wanted her to hold your hand a bit to get adjusted. Meanwhile Fi is SO much worse, she forces you to stop so often just to tell you there's a certain percent chance your objective is ahead, or that your wiimote batteries are running low. Now THAT is insufferable.

[@dragonlink2032]

A bit of criticism since you requested it: I really enjoyed this style of video! It's nice to see something more positive and funny and I think it would be good for you to make more videos centered around games and things that you actively enjoy or are passionate about rather than just whatever happens to be popular. I think a good KZbinr to take inspiration from in this regard would be Pastra. They're very horror oriented but almost everything they make a video on is something that they love or even claim to be their favorite thing ever. I think doing more positive retrospectives would be a good thing for you to do! My favorite bits of your videos are always the humor and especially the animation. I'm not saying overload your videos with animations but sprinkling a few more in would be nice. Like for this video specifically an animation of Link getting kicked off a ledge followed by the mario maker laugh track or an animation of Link being upset that there was a missing boss fight would have been nice to see. Of course don't overwhelm yourself, just make sure that you are enjoying what you are making and try experimenting every now and then until you get into a groove that you are satisfied with.

[@FrahdChikun]

I second the idea of checking out Pastra. I love his art style and his video essays. He manages to show the good of viral horror games while also critiquing them!

[@Spartan140Kurt]

@dragonlink2032 100% agree this was great, and I've always enjoyed Scott's thoughts and views on the things he likes. Let's me enjoy things in a way I may not have thought of or saw. Also, commenting to help the algorithm

[@superthing8293]

Since this game is going for a "your actions have consequences" type a deal i REALLY hope squishing the minish was a one time bit and not something i have to keep in mind for an entire segment. That would just be mean game design. Aside from that everything else about this rom hack looks incredible. Definitely gonna check it out once its finished.

[@Spiritofpower24]

Yeah, uh, if things like that stay in the game it's a hard skip from me. Cheap low-effort gotchas aren't interesting, engaging, or fun.

[@kentonm]

@@Spiritofpower24 The minish are used to being stepped on, there's dialogue in Minish Cap that says as much, I think... but yea um it's just a gag, like several of the other bad jokes i made in the mod lol, don't take it too seriously

[@Princess_Loaf_]

@@kentonmI for one like the bit

[@aeroon9991]

​@kentonm If stepping on the Minish WERE TO HAVE consequences, potential backlash and bitterness from players could be avoided by having the Minish give dialogue which might prompt the player to remember his existence when leaving town, as not to step on him. Maybe not something as blatant as "Don't step on me on your way out!" but rather something similar that subtley triggers the Zelda puzzle brain. I personally like the idea of that encounter having consequences, but modding is harder than people give you credit for.

[@Gabronthe]

It's just a one of gag (for the demo)

I'm with Scott on this one. I love the little animated bits in between the analysis parts

[@LeoBarton]

"Even if over the years I've learned a shocking number of people have never played them." Man you have no idea how true this is. I've been writing a fully custom tabletop RPG system and decided "Hey, a playtest using a Zelda setting would be fun, and should get a lot of potential playtesters' attention!" But literally 90% of the people I've approached have been like "Uh, I mean, I know what Zelda is I guess, but I haven't really played it."

[@Infindox]

That always catches me off guard because there are some games that I consider an "everyone has probally played this once because it's so easy to access and a great game".

[@A120AMIR12]

At least your play testers know what Zelda is

[@lightninstriker10]

The most disarming thing is, in the last 10 years, if someone in their 20's says "Yeah I've played Zelda" they probably mean Breath of the Wild and nothing else, which is to say they probably understand the setting in that context and nothing else.

[@monsieurdorgat6864]

I made a DnD module and I just pre-empted it with a one-page sheet that explains the most important details of the setting. You can shorten it a lot by telling folks that it's basically a sword-and-sorcery setting. I also made a shockingly comprehensive monster manual, though I was very intentional about keeping the CR's relatively low since LoZ isn't really a setting for high-level DnD characters, thematically.

[@monsieurdorgat6864]

@@lightninstriker10 TBF, I like that setting too. OoT confused me enough as a little kid that it put me off, and I really only enjoyed returning to it as an adult with less stupid in my head. The surreal darkness of OoT and Majora's Mask is pretty cool, but I also genuinely love the fleshed out world with lots of RP and fanfic possibility that BotW and TotK have. The older settings are very inspiring for more linear storytelling, the newer settings are very inspiring in terms of broader world-building. As such, for tabletop games like OP is talking about, I actually prefer the newer settings since they fit the social dynamics and tone of tabletop games.

pray nintendo dont find out about this game or nintendo will palword this good game. that jump scare i thought the guy was going to say " you good bro?" as he has his panic attack.

[@JaceAce22]

Okay, to Arin's defense, the design of this game's dungeon traps are exactly what the Zelda Sequelitis complained about, except the traps are entirely hidden from view, inside of the corner of walls, programmed to punish you for taking the rewards you find, instead of easily telegraphed spike pucks that control the main floor of the room. To credit Arin's point, this game's design for traps has a case of rudely intentional , "extreme difficulty fangame design" made to inconvenience you than control space and challenge the traversal of rooms. I hope the dev could revise the "GOTCHA!!" hostility of the traps and make them more telegraphed, like, just make the pendulum traps just traditional, slow swinging damage traps that control the pace of progressing hallways, or instead of arrow traps that spike the approach of rewards, the deathpucks or surprise enemy encounters for treasure chest rooms. The fact that the current build punishes you by shooting with arrows just for stepping up to an item chest, makes the game look as annoying to play as it would feel.

[@jabbathehutt2774]

Personally I'm just glad to see you cover something you are interested in. My favorite content of yours are the videos going over games ive never played like this one, or when you streamed mega man. Especially the old splatoon 2 content with CC in it. I prefer a 20 minute video of you talking about a topic you like with your sense of humor and little bits of animation here and there to "New thing with a side of salt" thats 7 minutes long and basically an animated review. But I understand the algorithm must be followed somehow. And frankly I've been here since the overwatch days so I'm happy to see you excited about your content again.

[@SolstaceWinters]

Honestly, videos like this are exactly my jam. You doing a thing, and cutting in your animation where it would be comically appropriate. That's what initially got me interested in your stuff way back when with the Overwatch Side of Salts. I enjoyed you discussing your PoV on a character in the game (as I was just getting into it, I've long since stopped playing it), and cutting in with funny animations. Your speedrun animations were amazing, such as the Wind Waker / Link's Awakening... all of them really. This kind of content is what I'm hear for. Whether it is positive or negative, I'm just after an *_HONEST_* opinion. *_THAT_* is what matters to me, Scott. Well, that and seeing someone explore games I might not know about, or have the money or initial interest in to see it in action. Helps change minds about exploring something.

I like this style of video more than your previous. I actually wasn't drawn in to your previous more negative style of video because that's an oversaturated space. There's a ton of people that do it already. What did stand out, is that you do little animated bits. You don't need to hire an animator because I actually like how unobtrusive your animations and little bits are. This video was so good, I liked the edits. Especially the "Be Right Back" meme with the arrows. It also showed me a game I didn't know I wanted.

Great video Scott. I agree, I'd love to see more animated skits as I think those are really your USP - as someone that doesn't enjoy live content I'd really like to see more of your android character. The worst part for me in this video was I feel like it exposed the content of the demo a bit too directly, and felt a bit more like a high-speed walkthrough, which I guess stems from your desire to make less opinion/review content. Good to see you're coming out of the slump. Hope nothing but good things are in your future!

I've seen fanfiction that wrote that OoT Link, after he helped Ganondorf get caught, it led to a decades long war. Link grew up, training to become a warrior and wore the armor we see him wear in TP. During the climatic battle, Link is mortally injured but did enough damage to bring Ganondorf down and have him arrested. The Gerudo were then exiled and Ganondorf's execution happens. I love that idea a lot, because I never liked the idea that Link is supposed to die in Majora's Mask and it don't make any level of sense given that the Hero's Shade is adult, and TP Link is supposed to be his direct descendant.
