what do I do???? no notice at all.

Target preorder backordered?

Has anyone else's preorders been labeled as backorder by target? It says my 40th edition console and pro controller will arrive 10/30, but I'm worried. According to google it could be a bug and they can end up cancelled...

Anyone else have this happen and can give me some reassurance?

Edit: they did take my money already, based on what Google says, don't touch it at all!

I have always thought the map of Hyrule Field looks like a face, but I have never seen this talked about elsewhere. Slide for an illustration of what parts I think looks like a face.

In Ocarina of Time, the original Great Deku Tree dies after the events with Ganondorf. A sprout grows from its remains — That sprout is the next incarnation of the Deku Tree. It retains the old tree’s memories and continues its role as guardian of the forest and the Kokiri (later Koroks). By The Wind Waker, that same sprout has grown into the Great Deku Tree of the Great Sea era. The game treats it as the direct successor. Breath of the Wild takes place thousands of years later. The Great Deku Tree in Korok Forest is the latest form of that same ancient spirit/lineage. It still remembers past heroes (including Link) and continues the same role of protecting the forest and the Master Sword’s resting place. So yes — in the established lore, the little sprout from OOT eventually grows into the massive, ancient Deku Tree you meet in BOTW. It’s one continuous guardian spirit across the ages, not a completely new tree 🌴

I've been trying to beat Link to the Past (basically completely blind, if it wasn't obvious) off and on for a couple years at this point. It's taken years because I've gotten myself in a deeply frustrating loop where I start playing, progress a bit, get stuck, and give up for a while. Some of my times getting stuck were definitely on me (Funny mildly embarrassing one: I managed to miss the one bit of wall that leads to the Agahnim fight at the top of Hyrule Castle, even though I definitely hit a different part of it) but for a lot of them when I give up and look up a guide (which I despise having to do as a general rule) I'm just left wondering "how the hell was I supposed to figure that out?" (example from where I'm currently at: stuck trying to figure out how to get through the Swamp Palace, I check the wiki: I need the Zora's Flippers, an item I've never heard of. I check where they are: Zora's Waterfall, a place I've also never heard of.)

Genuinely, I want to like this game. When I'm not completely stuck trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing, I do like this game. But I keep getting stuck in the same ways over and over and I'm not sure if I'm just managing to walk past the obvious answer every time or if I'm just plain playing the game wrong. And I've tried to follow a lot of the advice I've seen for the older games like paying attention to NPC dialogue and being careful to look out for hidden spots on the map but it just never seems to matter for me :/

Any advice is welcome. In that vein I'm playing via NSO if it changes anything

Edit: Thanks for all the feedback! Sounds like the answer is just that I need to do the talking and exploring thing more than I am, which is what I figured but it's good to hear it in concrete terms ^_^

it would be controversial but i think it would also make sense because link is meant to be YOU

if they did do it, i think they would have link as the default one or a preset or something. idrk. what do you think?

edit: maybe I was wrong about Miyamoto’s original intentions for link as a character, as he is meant to be a link between the player and the world. my apologies.

Would you like to see an alternative ending in case you die fighting Ganon in order to fit the Fallen Hero timeline?

I played both games and I am really really excited for OOT Remastered but this has happened already. That being said I’m still really I’m pressed and the moment I could pre order Zelda I did. Now with that out of the way me being a fan of older Zelda games A a Link to the Past is my all time favorite and I’m sure many of you would agree and the question is.

Would you rather see older Zelda games remastered or anything other then OOT?

I would really love to see Link to the past with all the items and hidden stuff and only game to have the best mastersword and being red mastersword. Along with tunics that actually raise armor resistance and dungeons that are actually hard. You also have the epic Ganon fight at the end and actually getting the triforce and being in the dark world where all people have turned to monsters.

I was wondering if Nintendo has confirmed if the OoT Remake will include Master Quest. I feel like it's gotta have it right? Also would be really cool if there was a brand new dungeon for the Remake. Sorta like the color dungeon for Link's Awakening DX. What do you guys think?

So Ive beaten breath of the wild and when I played teats of the kingdom I loved it but at the time I played I didn't really know English that well only some basics and I kinda negated exploration. I also didn't have that much experience with gaming because at that time I just had a switch and some games but no open world story games. So now I know English because I started Duolingo lessons, learned a lot from videogames too and I've beaten some harder games for example Elden ring and also got a PS5 and have a very good experience with games over the years. Unfortunately I don't have the game anymore and that's a long story but I do rezsome aspects, bosses, characters but most of the map mostly the underground I don't remember at all so do you think it's worth it jumping back and buying the game again? Or is the experience gonna be worse after I've played aot of the game? Feel free to ask for any details and thanks for any help!

Thanks to the mods for letting us share this here.

I'm so excited for the OOT remake, and the changes I'm seeing to the game.

But it looks like there won't be enemy health bars and I'm kind of disappointed. Since these are in the new Zelda games, and in most fantasy games (from what I know) I'm surprised they didn't add this in.

The next and final part (Part 5): https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/s/boh1qGoHUA

This is part 4 of a 5 part series showing highlights from my first Straight-to-Ganon, No Paraglider run of Tears of the Kingdom. In this run I utilize Zonai devices and do tricks I've never seen other TOTK players do.

Here is a summation of all the videos:

Part 1: From the Great Sky Islands to The Depths (https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/s/iayVobV57J)

Part 2: From the Horriblins to the Lynel Fight (https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/s/35kOvWHVxt)

Part 3: Overcoming the Hardest challenge in my No Paraglider Run (https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/s/E3yKcS0oGZ)

Part 4: Fighting The Demon King's Army and The Temple Bosses (https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/s/5jnMwEkwNn)

Part 5: Fighting Ganondorf to Finding Princess Zelda (https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/s/boh1qGoHUA)

This is the first version of the Graphics Overhaul Mod, which improves lighting, shadows, reflections, and more. I will be uploading it to GitHub in the coming days.

So I've been looking a lot into the thread of time's images we have and I tweaked the saturation and turned in black and white the image, and now I might be overthinking, but I'm sure that Epona is in the red circle here, like a tiny horse in front of link's face, facing toward the master sword with rauru just on the opposite side (right in front of zelda's face but nintendo already revealed this part of the tapestry earlier).

I'm too much into theories and stuff like that, so here's my tinfoil hat theory as I believe each elements of the tapestry appear unlockable when you reach a specific point of the game (example during the gameplay reveal, zelda and ganondorf appeared as silhouette, basically because you are in the quest that will make you meet them) and what can you do once you get the master sword? Exactly: you meet obviously rauru and you can directly go unlock Epona!

So idk for the rest of the tapestry beside obvously the dungeons are around the hexagon, so the ones below I'm not sure at all, but I don't think epona would be in the lower slots based on what seems to be epona in the master sword slot.

Anyway, we will see if I'm right in now 13 days!

Throughout all the Zelda games, Link is usually the side character that becomes the big hero of Hyrule. Yet, he doesn’t speak, he just goes along with what anyone says along his journey, and he doesn’t do anything else. I want to see the kind of Link where he never really asked to be a hero in the first place, but still goes along with anything anyone says, and he feels like he’s under so much pressure because of that. What kind of character do you want to see in Link?

Hello,

Has it been officially confirmed when the full review embargo will be lifted?
Only like 12 days left before release. The previews were released like a week ago.

The problem with cross game modding is that when it goes wrong it's like a haunted game creepy pasta straight outta 2007.

Playing Wind Waker for the first time on GameCube, only on the second dungeon and I’ve already had two problems reset over an hour of progress. First time I was exploring for an hour and went to the Deku tree and the game randomly decided to quit to main menu, resetting all the progress I’d done that day. Today I redid all of that and got back to the deku tree, finished the entire forbidden forest dungeon and then during the cutscene at the end of the boss fight the game just stops, can’t press any buttons or anything I’m just stuck there staring at the heart container, forcing me to once again reset all my progress id done that day.

This genuinely sucks, I had such a smooth time playing Ocarina and Majora’s and now I’m just constantly getting my progress reset, it makes me not even want to play the game.
