Just A Fiction Nerd

…Nintendo really is dangling another whole ass Ocarina of Time remake in front of my face like; “You want it? Huh? Huh? We know you do~ Now you have to buy our new over priced console to play it.” But the already high pricing and now upcoming raised prices makes me hesitate…everything is overpriced lately.

I have OoT on N64, Wii, Wii U & the 3DS, now they do this. They know I’m a long time sucker for the Hero of Time’s story. OoT 3D was the entire reason why I got a 3DS in 2011.

Now they’re going an even more realistic route for this version, didn’t expect that. It reminds me of some of the older more detailed official art for the game, as well at that one realistic TP Link render they never used. Along with the the smash 4 trailer for megaman. I hope his hair style will still look the same. I don’t care for the new outfit design shown though, it’s kinda ugly, but Link himself looks fine so far imo.

I have been avoiding getting the Switch 2 this whole time, not just because of the price of the console itself but also it’s game’s and the recently raised prices. Which are ridiculous, especially in Canada right now.

I’m not even getting NSO again because of the raised prices. Not that there’s much worth playing in NSO anyways. Not worth the $110 imo. As well as the fact that I already have a Switch 1, with not much of anything making me want or even need the newer console.

I didn’t even care about Age of Imprisonment, I just watched the cutscenes on YouTube. I’m so burned out from Hyrule Warriors games, too much grinding, as well as tired of the BotW era in general. I’ve been so done with it almost two-thousand hours of playtime ago.

Since they’re remaking OoT like this I hope they remake Majora’s Mask again, maybe and hopefully fix the dumb things Grezzo changed in the 3DS version. Such as the extra eyeballs on the bosses weren’t needed in the slightest, the swimming mechanics were better in the N64 version and the Twinmold fight did not need to be turned into a QTE wrestling match that can go on far too long if you’re slow and or mess up.

I was mostly just hoping they’d do at least one last game for the Hero of Time, taking place some time after the events of Majora’s Mask. Maybe while Link is in his 20’s, as a full grown man instead of 17-year-old young adult like he is after the seven year time skip. But I suppose both Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask would have to be redone first if they want to get to doing something grand like that, apparently.

Some things just came to me. More realistic OoT Redeads and Deadhand…oh no. Welp, bring on the nightmare fuel, Nintendo. Do your worst, I dare you. Don’t be a weenie, don’t censor the blood again. Make it rated T for Teen if you must, break free of E10+ rating, outside of Twilight Princess. Be free! Also, I wonder how much more I can burn with Din’s Fire...🤔 Maybe the Ice Arrows will actually be more useful this time around too. So many possibilities.

Something the game didn’t explain is that your animals are greedy and WILL eat ALL your grass outside in a day if they whole field isn’t completely filled, and it won’t regrow, making all my grass seeds go to waste. They did a terrible job at explaining that.

Now I have no way to get free fodder on my farm and my animals are always starving on stormy/rainy days. If I could just get them to stay inside the barns for two weeks and I could get ANOTHER new set of grass seeds to plant and hope they grow enough to fill the field and just buy fodder until then. (More wasted money.)

HOWEVER, there’s another dilemma, my pets keep letting them outside and there is no way for me to turn that off. I never had these problems with other games in the series.

What on earth is Marvelous doing by missing making clear such crucial information and simple feature to tell your pets to not herd for a while?

Implement a “disable animal herding toggle” or something! Or even better, make it so the animals don’t eat all the grass down to nothing, making all my grass seeds go to waste. I didn’t have this problem in the other games! Stardew Valley kinda does this, but at least I can forbid them from going outside in that game until the grass is ready, unlike in this.

You also can’t grow fodder/grass anywhere else but in the pasture, so I can’t even grow it in my basement to stock up away from their prying eyes.

All my free fodder seeds are gone because my gluttonous animals ate all the grass I was attempting to grow. So I’m now poor and have no way to feed my animals. They get to starve.

I am far too along in the game to start over, I just achieved World Bazaar Rank, miraculously. I am poor after every upgrade by the way, so…basically all the time.

I can’t get rid of my animals because quite a few have rare designs, like I have a star cow, and almost all of them have near max friendship.

Look, I’ve played a lot of farming sims over the years, heck, Pioneers of Olive Town was bad and somehow it didn’t upset me this much…because it doesn’t do bs like this, amazingly. It mostly just ugly looking maker/chest management and laggy.

The pets, ironically enough, just eat the wheat I grow that gets converted into pet food. WHY can’t I feed wheat to my other animals??

(I was so mad earlier I actually went outside to dig out the garden to vent my frustrations. It’s now ready for planting.)

The Ocarina of Time manga came out long before The Wind Waker, in like 2000. There was a bird people race featured in the extra chapter of volume 2, their tribe being called the “Watarara”. They seem to look kinda similar to the type of Rito from Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom.🤔

Or like a combination of the WW ones with the BotW/TotK ones because of the arms and ears.

I just thought it was interesting and didn’t really see anybody talking about it.
