Happy fappy 2021
You know the board is dead when everyone isn’t arguing over who gets to make the OT.
I would like to see the Zelda board rise from the ashes of 2020

Dueling OTs? SOUNDS GOOD TO ME
Doing well! Miss you too! Hopefully next time you're here we can go to another baseball game again (once they're back)!

I'm pretty pumped that Skyward Sword is getting a Switch HD release. I HATED the Wii motion controls and avoided it because of that, so I'm excited to get to play it using an actual controller. ![[face_tongue]](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.ignboards.com/styles/ign/ign/smilies/classic/stickouttongue.gif "Stick Out Tongue [face_tongue]")
I don’t want it but I am 1000% positive I will spend $60 on it. Probably try out the Switch motion controls for awhile if it gives you access to camera movement. If not I’ll just rock the stick.
Hoping the rumors of the 35th stuff coming this summer are true. Wind WakerHD portable would tickle the pickle.

HI everybody!
I have SS pre-ordered. I played it on the Wii and am still getting it. I will enjoy the 60 fps and HD graphics.

I disliked SS so much. Especially after we’ve seen what Zelda can be with a truly open world in BotW. The linear nature of SS just feels like banjo kazooie to me. Like I have to go to little worlds, follow the trail, and pick up honeycombs along the way.
if they had remastered MM I would be buying a switch right now.

SS can suck my Switch. Why did this one of all Zeldas had to be revived?
Will we break 1 page before the first half of 2021? No one will ever know!

Anyone got the next gen systems?
I have the Series X and LOVE it, despite no next-gen games. I mean I do have Fenix: Immortals Rising but I played like 5 minutes of that and moved on...
The backwards compatibility is awesome. The PS4/XB1 era are the worst consoles (IMO) in a long time and this finally feels like fresh tech.
Getting pumped to play RE8.

I just bought immortals fenyx rising. Is it true you can customize your player? I thought I saw something like that when I was looking at the game on youtube.
I believe you can, you get the default between Male/Female and then some preset options. I didn't get that far into it before moving on, I do want to go back at some point though. I played it right when I got my Series X and the thing was crashing games left and right for awhile. Plus I got into Red Dead Redemption 2.

Tagged. I enjoy that "post-calamity" made sense because of BotW and the boards dying over time but now makes sense IRL too. All too perfect to use the phrase in the OT again.

RDR2 is the first game in ages I took the time to 100% - all the cigarette cards, everything. I adored every minute of it.
Wait I totally posted in the wrong CT thread the other week (I think?) uh
copy paste time

Mad to think about 10 years ago I would always come to IGN Boards and of course this board and communicate with y'all but not anymore. Times do be changing indeed. Used to have discussion threads, fun threads, board awards ahhh... I'm such a different person to then but I'm still glad I came here. Hope everyone is well![[face_peace]](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.ignboards.com/styles/ign/ign/smilies/classic/peace.gif "Peace [face_peace]")
Edit: I just checked my 10k thread what a nostalgia blast lmao, and that video I made too goodness

New OT and I haven't even posted in it, FOR SHAME.
I might actually play it again. I literally hurt myself playing with the wii controls lol.I'm pretty pumped that Skyward Sword is getting a Switch HD release. I HATED the Wii motion controls and avoided it because of that, so I'm excited to get to play it using an actual controller.

^ I thought the #1 reason people hated SS was because of Fi?
I think that was just a Meme.

When I play BotW2, I'm thinking I'll make threads and pretend this place is as alive as the good old days.
Why not. It's been too long since a major new Zelda game came out. I'll be fun to help make the activity here the highest it's been in 5+ years.

And I'll eventually read those threads when I randomly remember that this place exists and log in.
3 people commenting in one day. This place is really popping off!
Now it’s 3.1 people!

That's almost as much as 4.1! (old Vestibule members may get that reference)
I accidentally bumped the old OT with a pic of my cat earlier and edited it out, but I wanna introduce you guys to Eddie (named after Mr. Vedder)

100%'d Metroid Dread, one of the bigger gaming challenges I've had in awhile. Some of those speed booster puzzles are outrageous. Thrilled that Nintendo is still willing to make games like this though, I thought it was great.
Twilight_Prince12
King of TL;DR
@nahazado42 Agreed completely, Metroid Dread was one hell of an experience and I'm glad to see others here play through it 100%. I was compelled to do so as well, and I couldn't believe how it really was a modern version of Metroid as we know it with virtually nothing sacrificed compared to past games of the series. Not only were the brutally hidden shinespark pickups still there, but some fun sequence breaking made it in as well. It might not have been quite as freeing and breakable as Super Metroid, but it's about the most I've seen a modern game of this type intentionally embrace sequence breaking, so it made me joyous.
I would love to see DLC or some kind of Metroid/Metroid Prime news of any sort tomorrow. Don't let the series hibernate again!

That really sums up my thoughts as well! The game did a good job of rewarding exploration - being able to get the Radar Pulse fairly early on, for example. There were also so many times that I thought I was being clever by possibly exploring out of sequence... but then it turned out that that was the game actually wanted you to do all along! It also really did a good job of keeping you guessing what items you'd get next - I said "SURELY this will be the Gravity Suit" at least 8 times while the game gave me something else
The EMMI level design in particular was really good, I'm going to have those alarm sounds ingrained in my head for awhile.
Hi. I'm Dreamy. Wanna play?
So what have you guys been up to? The LOZ board is my favorite board. I think we should find a way to get the board up and running like it was back in the day. So many users have left. I wonder where they went and why they left. Anyways, it's good to see you guys. I'm going back to the Vesti now.

Forums in general aren't very popular anymore. Social media has mostly replaced them. Also, since a lot of the posts here were always about theories and speculation, until Nintendo released Hyrule Historia and confirmed/debunked the theories officially.
The 5+ year gaps between game releases doesn't really help for popularity either. Outside of the OT, there's not a lot to be said.

Except Hyrule Historia is a load of crap and should NEVER be relied upon in any fashion, "official Nintendo" or not.
--EDIT--
... how do I even tag people these days...?
... how did I used to tag people back when this board was active..?
