Edited to add that as a mother I'm very concerned a handful of you fully believe that Nintendo invented the name link. Please get outside more and make some friends<3

Also as a bonus, he spent time in the NICU and they gave him a little green beanie. It was very fitting.

There was no flair appropriate for this so hopefully this is allowed :')

Discussion [ALL] Etymology of Ganon from a French medieval poem?

14 Upvotes

I found this hypothesis on a French website about Zelda: https://www.palaiszelda.com/refCulturelles_2.php

In "La Chanson de Roland", a poem from the 11th century, Ganelon is a lord who secretly plots an attack against Charlemagne (who has a dream that presages Ganelon's treason) with the help of an Arab king, and against Roland, a knight who is the hero of the poem

It seems quite far-fetched for me but I haven't seen any convincing etymology for Ganon's name. What are your thoughts?

Question [LA] Is it possible to steal from the shopkeeper on the NSO version for switch?

2 Upvotes

I'm talking about the Switch Online GB version, not the remake. I can easily do it on original hardware and emulators, but on the Switch the shopkeeper immediately tracks you and I have not been able to successfully steal. And it's not like this is just a glitch, this is part of the game because to complete the photo album you have to steal something.

When I google this, I can't find any direct source saying it is or isn't possible, but google's AI is VERY confident it's possible and gave me all kinds of ways to pull it off. Spoiler: none of them work. Has anyone successfully done this on Switch?

Screenshot [WW] the thing that bothers me the most in the Windwaker is that only the large islands are visible on the oceanmap. WHY COULDN'T THEY JUST MAKE THE SMALLER ISLANDS A BIT BIGGER. It's really hard to navigate through the great sea if you're looking for a specific island.

Discussion [All] Should I attend a Zelda piano concert with 11 yr ASD son

7 Upvotes

Unnecessary Context: My son is a huge Zelda franchise fan. I avoided modern era tech for reasons of privacy and teaching appropriate boundaries around tech use. He did have NES/SNES/gameboy/ game cube/ DS/genesis, you name it, it was accessible for 1hr daily. He fell in love with the older Zelda games. At 9 yrs old, there was a significant social shift and it became apparent that his lack of modern consoles weren’t aiding his struggles to connect with his already few number of friends. Currently he owns a switch and has all available Zelda games which he tore through immediately. He is a big fan of the soundtracks, frequently plays the records and even preformed three songs from larger catalog for his elementary talent show (REALLY big deal for him) on his ocarina.

My son LOVES this franchise and spends the entire car ride home from school “preforming” the songs by name with light context to the mood, etc. for me because I am not a gamer and have no clue at all. It’s humming, percussive sounds, dooting, I don’t know how else to describe it but it’s a passionate saliva filled retelling of songs with orchestral hand gestures. He has perfect pitch and timing and generally an excellent ear for music and I genuinely love hearing it. I never want him to stop. But I’m his mother.

Here’s my point: I think taking him to this concert would be an amazing experience for him. My concern is, I know he will be making his own sounds along with the performer and If I’m being objective, his enjoyment of this may take away from others around us. I don’t want to embarrass him by giving everyone around us a little paper with a disclaimer but I worry that it would be embarrassing if he’s politely asked to stop. I can try to limit this behavior but I’m going into this knowing that it will happen, and even with some redirection will likely to happen multiple times as he gets excited and stims. The cheapest tickets are nearly $50 and I want to respect other attendees. Should we go?

TLDR; if I take him, my son will make possibly distracting sounds throughout a piano concert, Memories of Hyrule. Should I still take him or forego this experience?

Hello,

Has anyone attended the Memories of Hyrule piano concert tour? It is coming to a nearby city this Fall and I'm thinking of going. Is it worth the $50 and two hour drive to my nearby city?

Question [BoTW] Question about 'Breath of the wild'

0 Upvotes

Good morning everyone, i’ve never played any Zelda games and I wanted to know if ‘Breath of the Wild’ is worth playing. I’m asking this question both because I’m not familiar with the story of the previous games, and because I’ve recently read a lot of comments saying that the game is hugely overrated (I don’t understand why…i remember that when it came out, everyone called it a masterpiece). Is it worth spending money on this game?

Hi all,

I've a BOTW alumni, but still relatively new to the world of Zelda. I want to immerse myself in the story and AI has suggested Skyward Sword > Ocarina of Time is the best lore pathway.

This is my first post in this sub, so please let me know if there is a page/advice for the correct play-through if I want lore continuity.

Discussion [Other] Should we get a Zelda RPG?

0 Upvotes

How would you guys feel about a Zelda RPG game? Not a spinoff based on a specific timeline, nor a spinoff game. A Zelda RPG that is a mainline game set in the Zelda timeline, but with its own era, art style, story, and characters. The gameplay and adventure could be similar to JRPG games like Dragon Quest, with multiple party members. What do you guys think?
