nintendo continues to move the industry forward yet again with the brave decision to make this game's final boss a literal colonoscopy

[@bulkypigeon]

Colon gaming

Colinizing them colons

[@novicecreed]

Oh god seeing Vinny die just when he was so close to finishing the battle was heartbreaking. I found the battle genuinely fun and hype, but admittedly it does feel a bit too long to go through even with the ultimate echoes on your disposal.

[@bulkypigeon]

I feel like his commitment to only using lynel was his downfall, having multiple lower level units to divide and conquer on the arms makes the fight go SO MUCH faster, and feel more frantic and fun. Thats not to say he is playing the game wrong ofc, just my opinion on how the fight was meant to go.

[@JAMEArts]

57:51 Vinny's optimism NULLified from that moment

[@CeilingFloor122]

The game ends with QTE after killing a being beyond our understanding? Zelda Echoes of Wisdom is now an honorary Kirby game!

[@TehSkullKid]

Damn, this really leaves me wanting a game where you get to play as both Link and Zelda and swap between them. Especially now that they’ve got a new canon playstyle for Zelda that they can iterate on.

[@scootaluigi9381]

Spirit Tracks kinda did that

[@bustercalibur4908]

​@@scootaluigi9381 Only in a specific place though, I think a full feature like this in a 3d game would be fun.

[@DisasterLord]

Spirit tracks was a pioneer here, the tower of spirits and finale were cool set pieces

[@PleasantLeech]

Maybe in 20 years with the rate Zelda games come out

[@UshioKiss]

I wish instead of sword zelda, Zelda temporarily got combat magic or spells. Her divine bow from the BOTW end boss comes to mind.

[@vdaishin]

I loved this game so much that I immediately started a second playthrough after finishing it first time

[@alma3884052]

I enjoyed my time with the game, but I get people's and Bronto's complaints. I think a game so focused on giving the player freedom and ability to find creative solutions to problems shouldn't have been so combat oriented, especially when it comes to boss fights. It gets tedious when you have to spawn an NPC to fight for you and wait until it figures out what you want from them, basically adding 2 extra steps to you just pressing a button to hit the enemy yourself. They are definitely onto something though, and if given the chance to make another game with Zelda as a playable character, I'm sure they would improve on this formula a lot.

[@JC21]

"No coiled poop in this game = 0/10" Well it's too bad Vinny is considering dropping Brothership

[@jercoxthealmighty]

I feel like Vinny may have relied on the Link abilities more than I did in my playthrough, and I feel like that may have thrown him off a bit when he couldn't use them in the endgame. I was way too paranoid about not having enough energy to use Link mode when I really needed it, so I got the hang of deploying minions to do most of my combat for me, y'know, like a stereotypical royal would. 😆 Of course, conversely, I never got non-awkward at using Link's sword when I needed to, so I had a lot more trouble with the non-final bosses of the game than Vinny did, since they pretty much all require at least a little of that. Give and take, I guess. I did enjoy this game and its more... dare I say "hands off" approach to combat, it seems like the overall opinion on this game has been "good, but not great", so if Nintendo does another game starring Zelda, they may be well-advised to make her at least a little more active in a fight without having to all but literally making her turn into Link first. I mean if nothing else, there is some precedent in the series for her to be proficient with a bow.

[@WilfredCthulu]

The most actual duo fight in Zelda. That's cool.

[@blobbem]

It's cool to see Zelda get her own game (again), and it was fun to see her fight alongside Link at the end, but I am a little confused as to why the game was sponsored by that PRIME Energy drink.

[@Hi-fd4cw]

The bots are out in full force for the finale

[@omegahaunter]

This was something i saw on a video about Echoes of Wisdom, but it is a pretty cool idea The world was created by the Goddesses to contain Null, the nothing. And the Triforce symbol is 3 Holy triangles with an empty spot in the middle lol

[@bulkypigeon]

I really loved EoW and especially the endgame of it. I had a blast dodging between the attacks and summoning burst damage echoes (i never got lynel and rarely used lvl 3 enemies) I do feel like the game could suffer from its own freedom though. I made it a point to use the echoes in each new area without relying on the same 3 echoes like some did, and I had a decently challenging time with it on hero mode. But I can see why others wouldn’t feel as positively as I do.

[@bulkypigeon]

And also, it was about time that zelda went kirby mode for the finale, tonal shifts and eldritch horror are some of my favorite things. (Majora probably comes close but that whole game was fucked up so the shift wasnt as drastic)

[@bulkypigeon]

And also also, I was so glad we got an actual puppet zelda fight here after the letdown that was TOTK just swapping her out with Phantom Ganon.

[@TropicalEmperor]

That’s all folks

[@Gaia_BentosZX5]

The ending to this game really does feel like a series finale to a long-running series of video games, huh?

[@sammon1415]

I feel like Zelda should've gotten some kind of basic attack move so that the player doesnt feel like they're just watching and waiting for their Pokemon to hit the enemy. Maybe she could have used a rapier to do little stabs and contribute damage, but not too much as to take away from using echoes at all.

[@skullkidsteve721]

I love how the final bosses for the last two Zelda games literally were Gannon, Gannon, and a colonoscopy

[@drdca8263]

1:17:25 : is Link speaking here?

[@sadcrowcaws]

yup!

[@emuanon34]

He has spoken like this before in BOTW/TOTK and Skyward Sword.

[@drdca8263]

@@emuanon34 Ok, I didn’t know that, so thank you, but, I thought in this game it was stated or implied that having been in the still world as a child caused him to become mute, and so if he was speaking it would imply that he stopped being mute after NULL was defeated?

[@gundamwarrior]

SMH vinny never went to the slumber dojo once

[@dysr]

Watching Vinny struggle to find the last pedestals live was certainly an experience.

[@vroom0925]

1:28:35 all throughout 2023, vin was adamant totk was its own thing, and here he just resignedly agrees

[@pareidolist]

How the mighty have fallen

[@FyrenRei]

the nintendo branded copium ran out

[@mkjjoe]

People have been criticizing the game since release, some more fair than others. It has issues in scope and priorities but "DLC" was always a shallow take...

[@hououinkyouma5539]

Vinny repaired the Elden Ring

[@lasarousi]

I wish nintendo had taken a risk and given link a dialog just to complete the switcheroo and at least make this game the one where link talks for real instead of the wet white rice noodle zelda slop it is.

[@mkjjoe]

But characters aren't voice acted in this one, and he's shown to speak just like any other character

[@JTSYoRHa]

also every time they referred to the Triforce as the 'Prime Energy' it took me out. do i have too much internet brainrot? why did they only now change the name of the triforce?

[@lorecow88]

Because localizers are talentless hacks. It's not called that in the Japanese script.

[@UshioKiss]

Maybe since Tri is already named Tri they chose something else? Idk it's super weird

[@bulkypigeon]

My guess is that the triforce has been forgotten in this version of hyrule and so they just refer to it in other terms. Kinda like when they refer to the triforce as the golden power in other zelda games. Prime energy absolutely is a weird name for it though.

[@GARGANTUANMASKEDFISH]

In the Japanese script it's referred to as "Great Power" or something close to that. English translators have sort of become notorious for bad translations and inserting memes into the script so it really wouldn't surprise me if it was done as a bad joke.

[@jonespianist3189]

​@@bulkypigeon3 is a *prime* number. "Prime" can also mean "of the best possible quality" as a verb. The Triforce happens to be the most powerful object in Hyrule (object, as opposed to entity).

[@Condor_]

It was just sort of glossed over that Link was seemingly speaking in that final cutscene. Was that an oversight, or is the implication that Link found his voice again after that fight? The cutscene wasn't too clear on it, as the startled reaction everyone gave to him was some time after he was speaking and seemingly after mentioning something about Zelda.

[@mkjjoe]

Yeah my understanding is that everything taken away in the void was returned

[@GARGANTUANMASKEDFISH]

I've only watched the first part and then skipped straight to this one - why is Zelda in a leather catsuit?

[@Joewho-uk7tq]

Finalely

[@jonmahashintina]

is wikipedia school where the english major came from? did he just print the english major article and laminate it and declare himself to be so?

[@jonmahashintina]

no post finale attempt at side quests? rip. guess he hated this one afterall. the boss rush would have been fun to see.

[@McZeroDeluxe]

Que onda con los bots en los comentarios?

[@3xirei]

For once I can relate to how vinny plays games, this game just completely fell out of my rotation but I felt I had to beat it, not necessarily a stinker but definitely not as good as any other zelda title

[@adiohead]

I enjoyed it but the last boss was easy.

[@SmileRYO]

I thoroughly enjoyed it unlike TotK lmao.
