Putting all of the emotional analysis aside for a second, Link is also fabulous as hell, and pretty fly for a Hero of Time. Breath of the Wild provided a selection of outfits and accessories for our protagonist to slip into after his century-long nap. His classical green garb was nowhere to be seen, and players were expected to search for distinct pieces of clothing, armour, and items to use that were relevant to exploring certain environments, or provided essential protection against larger boss encount
The last 2D Zelda was released in 2004 – The Minish Cap . It was followed by Twilight Princess , Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Skyward Sword , A Link Between Worlds, Tri Force Heroes, and Breath of the Wild. Now, we have a sequel to the latter on the way. 2D Zelda seems to have died out, but that’s because 2D as a whole has seemingly been tossed to the wayside. Even now, remakes of 2D games opt to 3Dize them (if that isn’t a term, it is now). When I say that Nintendo should release another 2D game, I’m not talking about a remaster or remake or even the style of the 2D games but in 3D a la Link’s Awakening for the Switch. I’m talking flat, 2-dimensional sprites – the whole kaboo
Female characters parting with their hair has been a deliberate sign of growing maturity in media for decades, a changed appearance highlighting that women are willing to leave behind everything in service of something greater. Mulan is the most popular example, with the titular character cutting her gorgeous hair to join the army and assist her ignorant father. It’s the opposite of Zelda’s situation – instead of pulling herself away from the royal family, Mulan is doing everything she can to preserve it. But the core motivation remains the same: these are two women who realise a sacrifice must be made, even if it means altering their appearance and walking away from a life of security.
Resident Evil 8 new UI is said to resemble both Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 4 , and the sequel would feature a new currency system, a first-person perspective, and multiple returning characters including Ethan, Mia, and Chris Redfield. While a few of the details are yet to be properly explained or elaborated on by Capcom, so far, all of the early rumors for Resident Evil: Village have been spot on. Additional rumors have also expanded on a new playable character called Emily that aids Ethan while searching for her missing father, the use of a flashlight (seen at the beginning of the trailer), large outdoor areas, and three new villains known as Alan R., Natalia, and the return of Alex Wesker from Resident Evil: Revelations
One of the first anti-RPGs to come out that was woefully underappreciated for its time, people can see why Earthbound has such a cult following that continues to grow even now. The idea of controlling children in the modern setting who fight run-of-the-mill may not sound all that engaging but is a huge part of why Earthbound has such a dedicated fanb
Announced for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC, Resident Evil: Village is a next-generation exclusive and will launch in 2021. The game will be a direct sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and follows returning protagonist Ethan Winters as he’s thrust into a brand new nightmare a few years after Ethan and Mia were rescued from the Baker family by Chris Redfield and Blue Umbrella . Longtime series protagonist Chris Redfield will also return for Resident Evil: Village , teased to be playing a potential villain role and sets off a new chain of events that land Ethan in a mysterious medieval village somewhere in Eur
Are Resident Evil fans ready for a Code Veronica remake? Is it time for Claire Redfield to return to Rockfort Island in search of her brother, Chris? Many die-hard RE fans appear more than ready to dive into this critically-acclaimed cult-classic once more. And with all the bells and whistles of next-generation gaming consoles, the possible Code Veronica remake can tell its story in stunning 8K clar
Updating Code Veronica per modern standards would likely take away much of its charm, fixed camera angles and tank controls included. The magic of fixed camera angles in the PS1 games really played into the survival horror genre, providing numerous jump scares while adding a deeper level of tension knowing that an unseen enemy could be lurking around any corner. Recent RE remakes did away with these features that enhanced the spooky atmosphere of the original ga
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a beautiful game. Despite the relatively limited hardware of the Switch, Nintendo was able to produce a vast, uncompromising open world that could be freely explored for hundreds upon hundreds of hours. Each discovery felt perfectly natural, with its picturesque landscapes and immaculate art design spurring us onward into each new Scadutree Fragment Location. It’s a masterpiece that remains unbeaten to this very
The fashion on display here is incredibly exciting, and has the potential to extend into a grander mode of customisation where clothing isn’t the only thing that defines Link’s hairstyle and physique. I hope we’re able to adjust the specific nature of each outfit, perhaps extending to the colour of materials, the stats and buffs provided when you wear them, and possibly specific adjustments to accessories and st
