Idea: They give Corrin the Steve Treatment by giving each stage a Dragon Vein for Corrin to use.

Sometimes a main series Zelda game will pass up on using a serious main villain like Demise, Majora, and of course Ganon, and instead have a main villain that is more comical or what ever other way in which they’re not to be taken as seriously. Like Lady Maud or Chancellor Cole (though whether or not Cole is the main villain is debatable because of Malladus).
And there’s a possibility for a villain in a main series Zelda title that could combine both sides together by being one these goofier, less serious villains, but the amount of evil they conjure forth is actually pretty scary. Granted arguments could probably be made that other Zelda antagonists have done this before, but this would at least be another example of it and it would still be in a way never before used in Zelda.
Through either the power of the Triforce or the law of the Sacred Realm itself, the Sacred Realm is able to be warped into an entirely different kind of world based on the wish someone makes upon the full Triforce.
So imagine a Zelda game where the main villain is Tingle because he wished for the Triforce to make him rich, and that turned the Sacred Realm into a land that influences those who enter it with insane amounts of greed.
People have been having the idea of Shield Specials a lot lately. And I do think adding them to the standard kits of Smash characters is a good idea, but there’s one aspect of them that needs to be accounted for that I’ve seen some fan-made movesets not take into consideration.
That aspect is that all shield specials need to be built around the fact that they can only be performed on the ground. You can’t shield in the air, that results in a dodge. So it’s not possible to use shield specials while airborne.
There was a point in time where I believed that a lot of people didn’t like the way Zelda played in Smash, and hoped she would get some kind of change that would make playing as her more enjoyable. Be it through a brand new moveset or certain touch-ups and buffs to the current one.
This is something I believed from reveal that Zelda and Sheik were now separate characters in Smash 4 all the way up to the Inkling/Game Reveal for Smash Ultimate.
Whether or not this belief was ever accurate is something I’m not entirely sure of anymore, but assuming it was, is this still the case now?
All of the Warriors Spin-Off games based on Nintendo Franchises have had a character that uses a "Rampage Mode" type of awakened state. Aka they take the idea of an Awakened State that all the characters can use, and through methods unique to them such as converting speical attack energy into their awakend states, they are able to maintain such transformations for a lot longer than any other character. Which is what that particular characters game plan usually revolves around as these "rampage modes" certainly seem more powerful than typical awakenings.
Hyrule Warriors - Young Link used the Fierce Diety's Mask for his Focus Spirit form.
Fire Emblem Warriors - Tiki was able to go to town in her Dragon Form
Age of Calamity - The Luminescent Form Zelda can take with her Bow of Light moveset fulfills a very similar role. Albeit one that's not quite as potent. Which may or may not work out for the best since Age of Calamity doesn't include such powered-up states as a core game mechanic for all characters. And yes I do know about Calamity Ganon's Calamity form in this game, but given that he has his own unique meter for that mechanic, I'd argue that Zelda's Bow of Light matches up better with how this kind of rampage mode worked in the prior two Nintendo Warriors Games.
Three Hopes - Full disclosure, I know practically nothing about this game. So whoever the rampage mode character(s) may be, I have no idea who they are. For all I know Three Hopes could very well be an exception to this trend by not having a character with this sort of playstyle at all.
Either way, this idea of a character who focuses on keeping a more powerful awakened state active for longer is something that Nintendo Warriors games are no stranger too, but there's one Nintendo franchise that could have a warriors game where this idea of keeping a more powerful awakened state going could be expanded upon in such a way that it would become a staple gameplay mechanic for all characters instead of being unique to specific warriors.
It's probably the least likely Nintendo game to get a warrior spin-off for a number of reasons, including that fact it's a co-ownership between Nintendo and Cygames, but a Dragalia Lost Warriors game could vastly raise the power and utility of such a mechanic thanks to the source games staple ability of transforming into dragons.
Me in the late 2000’s:
“I’m kind of starting to sympathize with all these YouTube game reviewers who feel like going on GameFaqs is cheating. What they’re saying about how it’s more satisfying to figure stuff out in a game yourself is making sense to me.”
Me in the Modern Day:
“Where the heck is a good 100% guide for Cadence of Hyrule with all DLC included?!”
Goht from Majora’s Mask often receives praise as one of the best bosses in the game, but there’s a very not often talked about trick to the fight.
If you just simply stand in the doorway of the entrance to his arena and shoot him with Fire Arrows every time he laps around to that area, you can take him down without him ever even being able to hit you. The pots that refill your arrows and magic even respawn.
This is the method I used the first ever time I fought Goht and I think it’s the kind of thing that overly critical people on the internet would make fun of the game and/or Nintendo for.
And if we’re being honest, it’s not a very fun method of fighting Goht with. It’s slow, it’s tedious, and it just feels cheap.
But it does present another thing I appreciate about the fight with Goht. It shows a great example of how even if there’s a lame way to cheese a boss fight, you don’t have to use it. I think it’s far better to just fight a boss with a method you enjoy rather than complain about a tedious method that you don’t even have to use being present at all.
I've been in a pretty big Hyrule Warriors mood lately. Mostly for Age of Calamity, but in regards to the original, I want to go ahead and list an idea for a playable character not in the game from each game in the canonical Zelda timeline. Even the ones that were released after said original.
Going by order of release date:
Zelda 1 - The Old Man. His weapon would be a pair of magical torches that float by his side.
Zelda 2 - If we're talking strictly within the realm of the original, I would say a 2-in-1 character of the Prince of Hyrule and the Magician from the manual. But if we're talking a new game that still brings in content from all sorts of Zelda games but has voice acting this time, then I would say Error just to know how they would pronounce his name.
A Link to the Past - Agahnim
Link's Awakening - Tarin. His weapon would be a giant bag of all kinds of different mushrooms that would give him temporary abilities upon eating them. These abilities would be Mario Power-Ups in everything but name.
Ocarina of Time - Nabooru. Out of all the Sages between Ocarina of Time and Tears of the Kingdom, The Sage of Spirit is the one I have the hardest time picturing the abilities of. Mineru in Totk can separate her spirit from her body but that's all we know of for sure. And compared to all the other Sage elements, that's pretty tame. I've heard some intriguing fan ideas for the concept of Soul Magic but aside from that, let's see what the original Sage of Spirit can bring to the table.
Majora's Mask - Majora's Wrath
Oracle of Seasons - Even though these ARE good choices, Onox and Din are a little too easy to guess. As are the 3 animal partners in both Oracle games. For the sake of going a little out there, I'm going to say Vire.
Oracle of Ages - Once again, Veran and Nayru are too easy. I'm going to go with Ralph instead. Who's only ever seen using a sword in the source game, but I think you can expand his options by letting him use the items from Oracle of Ages.
Four Swords - Not sure what you'd name the character, but I'd have to go with another version of Link that uses the Fours Swords to make himself a 4-in-1 character.
Wind Waker - I want to say the old Sage of Earth because it'd be really cool to see a Zora using Earth Magic instead of Water Magic, but there is such a thing as going TOO out there and I think that's an example of it. So I'll say Makar instead.
Four Swords Adventures - Much like how the Great Fairies in Age of Calamity are a 4-in-1 character where the one you're in control of changes with certain attacks, I'm thinking a 6-in-1 character that brings the maidens other than Zelda together for the same concept.
Minish Cap - Vaati. Don't worry, I didn't forget about him. I was just saving him for Minish Cap because of his humanoid form from that game and his focus on obtaining the Light Force. Which would be his weapon, and that would be pretty neat to see a big villain character defaulting to a Light Element weapon.
Twilight Princess - Hero's Shade
Phantom Hourglass - It pains me to say it, but I can't choose Linebeck. I want to, but I just can't picture what he'd do in battle. I have to resort to Oshus with the 3 fairies alongside him instead.
Spirit Tracks - Byrne
Skyward Sword - Groose
A Link Between Worlds - Hilda
Tri Force Heroes - To give credit where it's due, Lady Maud makes sense, but I've never played Tri Force Heroes or seen the boss fight against Lady Maud before. So I'm going to say Princess Styla making use of the various outfits and items the Links can use in Tri Force Heroes because that's something I can more confidently envision a moveset for.
Breath of the Wild - I don't want to pick anyone who was playable in Age of Calamity for this post, so I think the only option I really have left is Kass.
Tears of the Kingdom - Rauru
And real quick as some honorable mentions, I do think that Ezlo and Anjean would make for good characters from Minish Cap and Spirit Tracks as well.
Rauru seems to be turning into the fan favorite in terms of a newcomer from Tears of the Kingdom, but what about the 5 sages?
Sidon, Yunobo, Riju, Tulin, and Mineru. What do you think of the idea of any of them as smash characters?
If they make a new Paper Mario game in the style of the first two, should the first 2 partners be a Goomba then a Koopa, should the Goomba and Koopa join the party after the first few partners, or should the line-up of partners in this game not include a Goomba and a Koopa at all?
I've heard that there's some discourse out there involving arguments of which characters should be made playable in a Xenoblade Warriors.
The largest a roster for a warriors game has ever gotten, as far as I know, is Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate with 177 characters. Since warriors games have gotten to high numbers like that before, would it be possible to render the arguments moot by just including all the playable characters and villains and whatever other kinds of characters could work as playable in a Xenoblade Warriors?
I personally doubt it for 2 reasons. The first of those reasons being I'm pretty sure every option from all 4 Xenoblade Games is still fairly higher than 177, and the second of those reasons is I feel like the devs would consider that to be too many characters for the game regardless.
Say that Zelda got its own anime series kind of like Castlevania did and they want to have a noticeable way that Link stores his items instead of just having him pull them out of thin air/hammerspace without any explanation.
Out these do ideas, which option would you prefer for Links inventory?
A: Make it like the Zelda cartoon from the 80’s and give Link a magical adventure pouch that shrinks the items down when he puts them inside and reverts them to normal size when he takes them out?
Or
B: Make it like Re-Quip Magic in Fairy Tail and let Link have his own magical pocket dimension that he can pull his items in and out of with magic?
Or would your answer vary depending on the game this kind of anime would be based on?
Every time I see the MVS acronym for Multiversus I keep thinking it’s referring to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I don’t know why.
I just went to the GameStop at my local mall and along the way there said mall had a stand of plushies.
There were a lot of Sonic plushies among them, which by itself makes sense, but why in the world was one of those plushies Sonic.EXE?
What do you guys think of metacritic?
I personally don't care for it too much, but I'll admit the reason for that isn't the fault of the people who run the website. I'm just not impressed with the user reviews section being such a gathering for haters and review bombing. But by design such a feature was always going to be prone to that sort of thing so what can you do?
I may not have been born until after it stopped airing, but thanks to my parents recording it on VHS I got to see the Zelda cartoon as a kid and was pretty into it at the time.
I've been getting bit by a bit of nostalgia bug for it lately so I decided to give it a re-watch. Just finished up episode 4 and to be honest, I'm not hating the experience.
I think said nostalgia for it combined with my acceptance that this is just how 80's cartoons were like makes me more forgiving of the reasons people don't view it very fondly in the modern day.
That's not to say I don't understand the reasons people aren't impressed with it mind you. For example, Link and Zelda both certainly have their moments of not being quite as tolerable.
Why does cooked meat look so much more appetizing in anime then it does in real life?
osby mentioned earlier today how they think a gacha style system in a big console game that has no Microtransactions and instead gives you an abundance of those summon items through normal gameplay could be a good idea so long as it’s executed well.
And I believe the same can be said about another mechanic I’ve encountered in a couple of the few gacha games I’ve played. Said mechanic has a different name depending on the game, but the idea is that you use an item that you also acquire an abundance of through normal gameplay to essentially auto complete a stage you’ve beaten normally at least once and acquire the items you get through said stage just by using this level skip item.
In grind heavy games this would be a godsend. And in a console game it would be even better because there would be no annoying stamina mechanic to limit how many times you can play a level.
As much as I like the idea of a warriors game for tears of the kingdom like what breath of the wild got, it does kind of feel like the desire people have for one might spark a trend of people wanting a warriors game for every big Zelda title going forward.
Which is not the best expectation to have considering it’s pretty much impossible that all of those will get a warriors game. It’s just inevitable that some of them won’t be able to have a workable warriors spin-off and honestly, totk might be one of those.
As much as it being a follow up to Age of Calamity makes sense on paper, in practice that might just be too tricky to pull off. Though there is the idea of it being its own thing without being a follow up to Age of Calamity.
With the release date of the TTYD remake being so close, it’s probably official by this point that this isn’t a thing unless some dlc down the road has anything to say about it, but a side mode featuring the adventure of the four heroes who originally sealed away the shadow queen a thousand years prior to the events of the game would be pretty sweet.
Hellsing Ultimate Abridged:
Jan Valentine - “It’s time for the annual company picnic! Unfortunately all that your co-workers are bringing is their own rotting flesh! Still better than Potato Salad if you ask me.”
-
Dragon Ball Z Abridged Buu Bits:
Vegeta - “When?! On this worthless earth?! Did I ever become a quote un-quote good guy?!?!?!”
Gohan - “You were at Krillin’s Barbecue last week.”
Vegeta - “Yeah. And I brought potato salad.”
Goku - “He is truly lost to us.”
-
So does someone on Team Four Star really hate potato salad or something?
Remember that anime that Champion of Hyrule was very unimpressed with a few months ago called Bungou Stray Dogs?
Here’s something that Champion never mentioned about it. The medic among the team of main characters has a pretty disturbing healing ability.
She can make people fully recover, but only if they’re already super close to being dead. So the series has a bit of a running gag to where if she needs to heal someone but they’re not close enough to death for her ability to work, then she’ll have to beat them within an inch of their life first and then she can heal them.
If Sonic Paradox ever does another collection of animated spoofs, one of them should be Amy using some kind of blue food coloring to trick Sonic into eating a Strawberry Shortcake.
I’m gonna post this one solely because I am under the impression that
Wario Wario Wario
would be a fan of the topic.
Top 10 characters in video games that wear a monocle according to blockfort.com
#10 - Raizo Imawano from Rival Schools
#9 - Wilhelm Strasse from Wolfenstein
#8 - Captain Ash from Timesplitters
#7 - Slayer from Guilty Gear
#6 - Lechku and Nechku from Okami

#1 - Hilda Henriquez from God Eater 3
Chicken and Waffles is a popular dish, but there are 3 breakfast items that people put in the same category (so to speak) as Waffles. Pancakes, French Toast, and Cinnamon Rolls.
In a similar vein, there are 3 kinds of meat aside from Chicken that are the common normal meats. Beef, Pork, and Fish.
So just like how there's the combo of Chicken and Waffles, what would you assign as combos of the other breakfast items and other 3 meats?
The debate of crispy bacon vs chewy bacon is super weird to me.
I don’t like my bacon to be too far on either side. A nice, even balance between the two is the way to go for me.
Spoilers are something I feel super weird about.
I am a bigger fan overall of finding stuff out through experiencing the game or show for the first time, but I can tell you from a pretty good amount of experience that being spoiled does not impact my enjoyment of things. At least not to a big enough degree to where it matters, though the more invested I am in, say, a show, the more I’ll want to experience its surprises through seeing them in the show.
But at the same time, I’ve been in the boat of spoilers causing me to want to experience the thing I’m being spoiled on a number of times. Same thing with being so hyped about an anime I’m watching and so curious about certain details I don’t fully understand yet that I’ll cave and look up the answers anyway. What can I say? Sometimes I just can’t help myself =P
It’s pretty well documented that even though they can be pretty cool in fiction, Scythes are not very good weapons in real life.
Which got me wondering, how do these 3 different types of Scythes rank in real life effectiveness from worst to best?
A regular scythe with a tall handle?
![]()
A pair of dual scythe’s that have shorter handles?
![]()
A kusarigama? Aka a chain sickle with a weight attached.
![]()
So um……about this whole debate of whether or not Nintendo is in the right to issue takedowns, both in terms of a legal standpoint and a moral standpoint.
We’ve got people on both sides of the debate here on Smashboards so can we try to avoid being hostile in our wording either way?
When you stop to think about it, Tears of the Kingdom had each wielder of the Triforce show a different aspect of said Triforce than what they’re usually associated with.
Ganondorf had to rely on cunning and strategy to get that Secret Stone. So Wisdom.
Link needed the Master Sword to gain power in order to bring Ganondorf down.
And it took Zelda a lot of courage to transform into the Light Dragon.
Be it as a standalone character or as part of Paper Mario’s moveset, would Vivian be able to be in Super Smash Bros?
The games a platform fighter, so you know, lots of jumping, but if I recall correctly Vivian is always rooted to the ground via her shadow.
Joke Time!
So, the post-timeskip One Piece characters that are among the highest tiers of power. What’s their favorite sport?
Hockey
I’m not going to lie. As good of a feature as auto saving is, in terms of what could be considered essential game features nowadays it’s probably the most meaningless one to me personally.
Reason being that even if a game has auto save, I get so paranoid about losing my progress that I always manually save before I stop playing a game anyway.
Cool of a mode as the original All-Star Mode was, I feel like there is such a thing as the roster becoming too big for it to really be something that can stick around.
What I'd like to ask all of you though is, did the roster for Ultimate reach that point?
I'm going to name a type of pizza and I want to see what you guys choose for a method to brutally destroy it with.
Cheeseless Pizza with Pickles, Sardines, and Peanut Butter.
I overheard someone on the bus mention “Rice Krispies Drinks” just now and I thought to myself “There’s no way that’s actually a real thing. I had to have misheard that.”
I looked it up to verify and it ended up being half-true. Ultimately I think they were referring to the Rice Krispies Flavor for those Breakfast Essentials drinks, but in the process I did learn that Rice Krispies treats are used in certain adult beverages.
Like the Spiked Rice Krispie Treat Shake Shooters.
For as much talk relating to Wario Land that goes on around here, I haven't seen anyone talk about some good ideas for a Wario Land stage in Smash.
I know the Golden Pyramid from Wario Land 4 has some potential in this regard but that's the only Wario Land stage I can picture. I wonder what else is out there that would make for good options.
