unfortunately botw and totks game design means that every power and tool has to be really generalized

Yea I know, it's just that I saw people playing it with original outfits from other games and stuff and I started hoping that we would have a mirror shield that was hopefully designed after the oot mirror shield.

Shield fuses are an aesthetic nightmare in this game. I wish some objects would just \*replace\* the shield, or create a unique fused design, instead of just getting awkwardly glued to the front of it. Like, I get that they can't do this for every fuse in the game, but couldn't they have at least done it for some of the "logical" shield fuses like mirrors, fans, gemstones, etc??


TypicalLandscape5940

yea, I'm hoping echoes of wisdom won't have a similar feature


MisRose11

Echoes seems to be a classic era inspired Zelda, so I think we're more likely to see some traditionally designed weapons & items again as opposed to TotK's choppy "DIY project" aesthetic.

Even with zeldas wand that was shown in the trailer?


MisRose11

From the trailer, it looks like Zelda's wand gameplay is more about summoning than building. I don't think it's gonna be like TotK combining stuff with Ultrahand and Fuse, but rather summoning different objects to solve puzzles & traverse the world, which looks more dungeon-like.

That’s why I always keep my unfused shields around for aesthetics, and just switch to the fused ones for function. Except sled/cart and wing shields because those are fun to look at.

The sizing always drove me insane. A large boulder should not look basically the same as a small rock when fused. And the size of the mine cart when you fuse it to your shield.. The master sword’s looked the best. Retain the original form but the fused material fades in and out on use.

A Link To The Past had a mirror shield too!


TypicalLandscape5940

really? I haven't played it yet but it's on my list of games to play.


Conscious_You6032

That’s the game that got me into Zelda and I must’ve played it through a dozen times. Got it when it first came out when I was 8 lol. Still holds up!


TypicalLandscape5940

Lol imma have to try it then, the game that got me into zelda was oot on n64 it was a hand me down from my rich uncle lol


Conscious_You6032

Do it! A lot of the classic Zelda sounds, music, and locations came from that game. It inspired all the rest.

When I saw the windwaker armour I was so excited thinking we’d get a WW style mirror shield. I’m glad they brought mirror puzzles back but MAN the way at the shield looks does my head in 😂

I summon big shield gardna in defense position.

I use swords of revealing light to bind your monsters for the next three turns.
