The only part of BotW that made me emotional was when Link is almost dead and Zelda is crying over him, then the sword starts glowing. Fi was telling you that it's not over, she knows because she's been with the spirit of the hero for so long... I get emotional just thinking about it. I love Fi so much!

A harp has strings that go directly into the body of the instrument, while a lyre have strings that go on top of the body like a guitar. Stringwise, this is more like a harp than a lyre, but it sure don’t look like a normal harp. I’ve only seen big harps and lap harps, but I’m sure there are more types than I know.

1:30:29 it's when link dies in the final memory. Fi tells Zelda that Link can still be saved and that she should place the sword on the pedestal in korok forest, only she can hear it, tho, because of her awakened power (Probably because this means she "turned into Hylia", and she's Fi's creator).

[@marieramos638]

Omfg

[@24fretsoffury]

At the true ending of BotW, Zelda mentions that she cannot hear the Sword any longer. Possibly hinting that the Master Sword is losing power, temporarily or permanently. Temporarily, could be a great excuse to separate Link and the Sword for BotW2. If permanently, then perhaps we will see Fi again in BotW2, and her claiming she’s served her purpose and at the end helps beat Demise for the final time. Idk, as this will probably be the final game in the timeline, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Skyloft, Loftwings, Demise and Fi again, to resolve the stories of the beginning and end of the timeline. Loftwings would make a lot of sense as to how Link gets around on the floating islands….

I personally never had a problem with them, but the combat and flying were some of the most hated parts of the game because of the motion controls. Glad to hear the tilt controls work so well for it!

[@BigHuskyGG]

yeah like someone else said TP HD isn't mirrored it goes off the original version not the wii which was mirrored

The reason TP on wii was mirrored is because they wanted it to make more sense with the motion controls by mirroring everything they made Link right-handed Edit: because like 90% of the world is right handed and link was up until then cannonically left handed

Zelda isn’t objectively wrong bro. You were totally mansplaining there and you even proved the point the developers were making when they had her say that. You said “you can’t have less than zero” and that’s true which is why she said it. She was saying it is not possible for the race to be fair not giving a reasonable number. It’s not possible to have less than zero(which if you’re a mathematician you know that you actually CAN have less than zero, but not in most cases so for now we will just say you can’t) and you can’t have a fair race in most situations with groose the same way. She brought up an impossible number to display the impossibility of having a fair race. Just like how the only way you can have less than zero is in the quantum realm, the only way you can have a fair race is without groose. Therefore groose is the quantum realm
