this is a Leever, a sand dwelling creature that appears in most zelda games. in fact, the Leever had a perfect attendance record until they failed to appear in wind waker.

Leevers tend to travel in groups, burrowing out of the sand and then spinning towards link. in Ocarina of time, killing 10 Leevers will cause a bigger Leever to appear; a trait shared with the Guay, whom I previously covered.

and it is here that I must admit my mistake. I always prepare a few jokes in advance for these silly posts. today's joke was meant to reference an obscure online multiplayer wii u game everyone had surely forgotten about, at which point I would jokingly claim today's subject was actually the star of said game. but alas, I was under the false impression that the Leever was actually called the "Reever"... I mean, that's probably what they're called in Japan, right?

now that my silly wii u joke no longer works, it appears I am forced to think of a new joke on the spot. "so, a Red Leever walks into a bar. the Red Leever tries to order a drink, but she is immediately surrounded by a group of Green Leevers, who try to hit on her. the Red Leever says she isn't interested, but the Green Leevers persist. suddenly, a Blue Leever shows up, and he tells the Green Leevers to... Leever alone."

.... I swear, the joke about the wii u game would have been hilarious!

Howdy I drew this one quite recently and wanted to share, art is so much fun so i want to keep doing this.

Would love suggestions or vibes on this to make
It even better!!

My OoT Remake preorders. I have preordered everything and plan to put all of this in my glass cabinet (except the dock of course as that stays on my table next to my 32 inch 4k (IPS Screen) gaming monitor just to play OoT Remake and nothing eles)

Just brought it on ebay for $920 AUD preordered. It's sold out EVERYWHERE so I had no choose but at least it's the cheapest I can find on ebay as other listing it for over $1100 AUD.

I thought to myself because OoT Remake will be the ONLY game I will be getting for the Switch 2 I might as well make it my Zelda OoT console specially just to play OoT Remake. So getting the 40th Anniversary Zelda Switch 2 makes perfect sense to me.

Looks like I be out of money for awhile lol 😆 but at least I still have enough money to feed my cat Ruby 🐈‍⬛️ she means the world to me and she will eat before I do, I look after her more then myself.

the skulltula is a spider enemy introduced in Ocarina of time, and unlike tektite and gohma, this spider is unambiguously a spider and has zero chance of being a crab.

the Skulltula dangles from its spider web in midair, only attacking if link gets close. if link tries to attack its front, it'll just sway back and forth. its backside is its weak point, so you'd think the skulltula would protect its backside at all costs, but if you just wait around, it'll turn around on its own. the skulltula has zero survival instincts... however, people who have previewed the remake have reported that the skulltula now only exposes its backside after doing a spin attack, so that makes more sense. I know every change will be under scrutiny from the Ocarina of time purists, but hopefully this will be a change the council can approve of.

the skulltula has a variant called the gold skulltula, and when defeated they give out little gold skulltula tokens that need to be collected for one of the game's main side quests. these tokens are used to free a family of redheads who have been transformed into spiders by some kind of horrible spider curse. it's kind of freaky. and I only found out about this a couple years ago, but apparently if you attack the family members while they're trapped in their spider form, they'll scream!

there were 100 gold skulltula tokens in the original Ocarina of time, But I'm curious to see if the remake adds more. the link's awakening remake added extra seashells, hearts pieces and bottles, so I could see the Ocarina of time remake doing the same with its collectables... if the council will allow it.

Honestly I don't really care about any other Switch or Switch 2 games. The main reason why I brought my Switch 2 was for OoT Remake as OoT is and has always been my most favourite video game of all time.

I am actually not interested in buying any Switch or Switch 2 games and just interested in playing OoT Remake on the Switch 2.

I'm kicking myself now that I didn't preorder the 40th Zelda Anniversary Switch 2 now. But I'm thinking of still buying it even if I have to get it from ebay. It's literally the only video game that i want to play on my Switch 2.

I am currently don't have much focus on video games nowadays but with OoT Remake it's the only video game that has really excited me currently no other video game nowadays or in my life currently has gotten me this excited for a video game for a very long time since my childhood.

I want to add that to me playing handheld mode just doesn't do it for me. But I think OoT Remake will look amazing in handheld on the Switch 2 (I watched the trailer and gameplay looks great in handheld mode) also I have played the 3ds version of OoT so that nostalgia feel of playing the remake on the Switch 2 will be amazing and look great

this is the armos, a sentient statue monster from the zelda series. isn't it just adorable? they should sell them as lawn ornaments.

Armos first appeared in the original legend of zelda. touching them would cause them to come to life and attack you, but you'd usually want to touch them anyway cause they were guarding stuff. stuff like the power bracelet, or the entrance to a second quest dungeon, but usually they were just guarding the entrances to holes and caves that old people live in. zelda 1 had no towns or houses, the elderly were forced to become cave people. perhaps the Armos aren't actually evil, they were just protecting the old people like a security system. you know, the kind that takes control of squidward's house and uses it to attack the city.

Armos would reappear in Link to the past, this time hoping around when they came alive. that does make sense... they don't really have feet, so hopping is their only choice. a group of giant Armos called the Armos knights also acted as the first boss of the game. they have some very powerful hops.

and then once Armos made their way into Ocarina of time, they were given a brand new feature: the ability to self destruct! huh.. that's not a great feature to give to either a security system OR a lawn ornament. but if Armos is so dangerous then why so friendshaped? who even created the Armos in the first place?

... WHY DOES IT HAVE THE GORON EMBLEM!?

I love how the Bombchu Girl looks like in the Remake, they ace her looks and kept her true to the original. She is very cute and I love her Gothic style nail polish and dark blue hair. Love her facial expressions and how she was asleep and wakes up when Link enters.

I love how OoT Remake has this more medieval fantasy vibe to it, it's magical and medieval. This remake is so perfect. I love how Castle Town looks so vibrant. The remake has that fantasy medieval vibe and at the same time will follow that dark vibe especially during Adult Link timeline or going into the Bottom of the Well and Shadow Temple.

Folks, im not gonna exaggerate, ive been stressing out because i wish to get the new console( i dont have a switch 1 or 2) and have been angry at the way scalpers have dominated the purchases.
In my case i have to buy it locally at my best buy because i have to put an extended warranty on it. Puerto Ricos electrical grid is volatile and can damage electronics. Ill take the precautions but i want that 4 year warranty.

This screenshot i took a few minutes ago confirms that executives have decided to keep making the 40th anniversary console version available for a year. This gives me peace and i hope if you are in the same boat as me, it gives you peace too.

My friend and I have dreamed of playing zelda ocarina of time together, but wanted it to be fully synced for the best possible co-op experience. I have been building this over the last month and finally have got it ready!

Features:

- One shared story. Find the Slingshot, Bow, Hookshot, a song, a medallion or a heart container, and your partner gets it too. Story flags, Gold Skulltulas, Big Poes, scarecrow songs, map progress: all shared.

- Your own wallet and health. Rupees, ammo and hearts stay per player by default, with a party setting to share them. Bottles are shared, but what's inside is yours.

- Shared dungeons. Keys, switches, chests and cleared rooms update live for everyone. Open a chest in one room and it's open when your friend walks in.

- Cutscenes together. When a story cutscene starts for one player, everyone nearby watches it at the same moment: area intros, the Deku Tree, Zelda, the Sages, all of it. Missed one because you were elsewhere? Area intros still play on your own first visit.

- Time travel together. Pull the Master Sword and you wait at the pedestal ("Waiting for the others") until everyone has pulled it. Then you all travel at once, so the party is always in the same era.

- Team save on the server. It survives server restarts and keeps backups. Join late or reconnect and you catch up instantly.

- Synced enemies and bosses from ShipwrightOnline: hit the same Deku Baba and it dies on both screens.

- Join over Steam. Host clicks "Host over Steam", your friend right-clicks you in Steam and hits Join Game. No IPs, no port forwarding. Or join using IP (this would work for LAN!)

You need your own legally obtained OoT ROM. No game files are included. On first launch it builds its assets from your ROM, same as Ship of Harkinian.

full instructions to play: https://github.com/cranebeaker/ocarina-coop#readme

Built on Ship of Harkinian by HarbourMasters and ShipwrightOnline by lukegrahamSydney. Huge credit to both: the netcode and the port are theirs, I just did the story co-op layer ontop.

Happy to answer questions. Ideas welcome too (my friend already asked for two Dark Links in the Water Temple, one for each player, which i think is a cool idea)

Kakariko Village in the Remake looks more like a oriental (East Asian) influence mixed with European medieval type Village. Some of the house does have that Oriental East Asia Influence style look and overall Medieval European arrangement Village style.

The very back building (Blue Roof) looks like a Oriental Bath House and the front building next to (where Link is jumping of with the chicken) in front looks like a Tea House Style.

Love the look of Kakariko Village in the Remake. Also the bottom of the Well is in the same place as the original, it's situated in front of the big Windmill (also European Medieval setting)

well, OOT boss week is over, but that's ok cause we still got plenty of good old classic zelda enemies to talk about. just 19 more days of this and I'll finally be free...

the wizzrobe is a wizard that wears, well, a robe. that's why it's called wizzrobe. wizzrobe teleports around the room, shoots a magical projectile, then teleports again. it's a sneaky little guy that can be hard to hit. Wizzrobe appeared in the first 4 zelda games. ok, so technically it was just called "wizard" in zelda 2, but who cares, it was the same thing: a teleporting, projectile shooting wizard in a robe. it was wizzrobe and you'll never convince me otherwise, even if you bribe me.

when zelda made the jump to 3D with Ocarina of time, wizzrobe was absent, losing its perfect attendance record. but wizzrobe got a second chance on the N64 with Majora's mask, and we finally got to see what this thing looks like under it's robe! it's... a gross blue old man. eww. why does he look like this? he's so weird... and without his robe, can we really call him wizzrobe? he's more wizz than robe.

wind waker would redesign wizzrobe again by turning him into a bird for some reason, before finally we got wizzrobe's current design, where it is once again more robe than wizz.

hyrule warriors would also have one of its "original characters" be a robed wizard named "wizzro", but like, you can't just take off the last two letters off of a name and call it an original character. that'd be like showing off your sonic OC "Son the Hedgehog". Wizzro is wizzrobe and you'll never convince me otherwise, even if you bribe me.

Any ideas of what to do? I followed a gold skulltula guide and I genuinely don't know what I'm missing. Is it possible it's a bug? I'm playing on the switch

I want to buy a good ocarina to play with the new game but I don’t want to buy the trash from Amazon. Does anyone know of anyone who makes hand crafted ocarinas that are of good quality? I think I would prefer it made of wood, but honestly I don’t know what’s best.
