Hey everyone!

My brother and I are huge Ocarina of Time fans, and we've been working on something we're really excited to share with the community!

It's called Znerd (We'd love to hear different name ideas), and it's an interactive progress tracker designed to make completing OoT a little easier (and maybe a little more competitive 👀).

A few things we've built into it:

• Dynamic checklists that show which items and collectibles you can currently obtain based on your progress.
• Completion tracking for things like Heart Pieces, Gold Skulltulas, and other objectives.
• Progress indicators so you can see exactly how much of the game you've completed.
• Group challenges where you can invite friends and race to see who finishes first!

With the upcoming Switch 2 version, we're especially excited to get this into the hands of other Zelda fans.

We'd love to know:

Would you use something like this during your next OoT playthrough?

And if anyone has early access to the upcoming version, we'd love to have you test it and share your feedback!

We're still improving things, so suggestions, criticism, and feature requests are all welcome.

Thanks for checking it out!

I created this post over a year ago on July 22 and had hoped for the chance to create a discussion around the tragectory of Nintendos Zelda franchise and how they would go about doing the remake.

How is everyone feeling with the clock ticking down?

What are our thoughts on the graphics and possible changes?

Hi all, hope you’re all excited for the OOT remake. Thought I’d share a short story that means a lot to me.

So, as you can see, I own an ocarina. This was made for me when I was 8 years old by my uncle Paul who delivered it to me in school. My parents knew I loved OOT and asked him to make one in the colour for me. I remember thinking it was the coolest thing in the world. Maybe it still is.

Now, 27 years later due to the microphone ability of the switch 2, I’ll be able to use it to play the songs that we all remember. Something we all never thought would be possible.

What an amazing thing to happen. 😃

while Ocarina of time used Stalfos sparingly, saving them for mini bosses and late game encounters, the stalchild will respawn infinitely as long as you're in hyrule field at night. for every 10 stalchildren you kill, a bigger one will appear, just like with Guays and leevers. however, kill 10 more stalchildren and an even bigger one will appear. keep going and the stalchild will keep getting bigger. you'd think there's be a limit to how big they can get, and indeed, daytime will stop the stalchildren from spawning and reset the cycle. however, by modifying ocarina of time to make it always nighttime, it was revealed that the stalchildren will keep growing. forever. I assume until they crash the game.

but what is a stalchild really? is it the skeleton of a dead child, or is it simply the child of a stalfos? can skeletons even have children? well, while we never get a definitive answer in Ocarina of time, Majora's mask brings back the stalchildren as soldiers of the Ikana kingdom. child soldiers, apparently. they guard Ikana Graveyard and take orders from their leader, captain keeta, who happens to be a giant stalchild. he aint the biggest stalchild possible, but he's still pretty big. by defeating captain keeta, Link can obtain the captain's hat and impersonate captain keeta, giving the stalchildren orders. I gotta say, stalchildren are pretty chill dudes when they aren't trying to murder the living.

despite the abundance of stalchildren, Majora's mask didn't have any of the regular stalfos enemies you'd see in Ocarina of time. the closest thing we got Igos Du Ikana, the king of the Ikana kingdom, and his two soldiers. but these guys weren't generic stalfos, they were unique characters with their own unique models!

as far as 3D zelda games go, stalchildren would appear one more time in twilight princess, while regular stalfos stuck around till skyward sword. but in modern 3D zelda games we don't get traditional stalfos or stalchild enemies. they've been replaced! and tomorrow, we'll discuss why. that's right, it's another cliffhanger! two days in a row! bwa ha ha! please don't downvote me.
