Video Game General

@Meanlucario
 
ESPECIALLY when they escape when they’re really close to you.
 
Not to mention the game doesn’t tell you that moving the Control Stick/Circle Pad in the opposite direction that the fish pulls on the line makes it easier to reel it in.

@Beau Skunky  
Certain Fish even require specific masks to get them to appear.

@Jarkes  
I read to just keep the stick downward for a slow but guaranteed catch. It worked, but took 5-10 minutes of the fish trying to flee.

@Meanlucario
 
From what I hear, both of these usually work.
 
Also, if you planted a Magic Bean at Lake Hylia as a child, you can access the Fishing Pond as an adult before you’ve cleared the Water Temple.

@Jarkes  
That’s what I did.

@rdibp  
Seriously, some of the bosses in the third isle are intense.
 
@Jarkes  
You only need to fish twice to progress the story, and the fishing controls are at least easier in TP.

@Mikey
 
The good things about fishing rods.
 
Are easy to use.  
You can easily equip larvaes and worms.  
Useful when ou try to feed kittens.  
Weapon of mass destruction against final bosses.

@Mikey
 
Oh, yeah.

@Twi Clown  
And it’s annoying in OoT because the amount of control you need to reel in is tedious.

Honestly, I think the Twilight Princess boss fight against Ganondorf is one of my favorites thanks to all the phases of it.

@Jarkes  
Ganondorf in WW and TP is great.

@Jarkes
 
Four friggin phases with different playstyles on each one. How can it be not awesome?

@Mikey
 
Wind Waker is another favorite of mine.
 
 
@Twi Clown
 
Including a HORSEBACK battle and a one-on-one sword fight against him.

@Jarkes
 
Because why not, the last time I fought TP Ganondorf I used all my weapons to see the effects.
 
Screw that bastard he forces me to use only the sword (and the fishing rod). Can’t a gamer use all his arsenal against an enemy? The ball and chain was one of the worst, as a lot of the time I became a sitting duck using that heavy ball.

In life, there is no easy mode. In video games, there is none.

@Jarkes  
I love his character in Wind Waker, too, like he actually has motivations and philosophy. And his death was awesome, too.

Cause trust me, if gaming journalist complained about Sekiro too hard, probably can’t handle a game like… Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy.

@Mikey
 
Toon Link doesn’t seem so kiddy after he STABS GANONDORF IN THE FUCKING HEAD.
 
But yeah, Ganondorf seems to have had a lot of time to reflect in The Wind Waker and seems to wonder if any of it was really worth it. Of course, then the King of Hyrule manages to take his wish from him at the last possible moment and he just SNAPS.

@Mikey  
“I coveted that wind, I suppose.”
 
That line. That line right there got me to rethink Ganondorf. How much of his evil is really his doing and how much of it was just Demise deciding to use that specific Gerudo to try and enact his vengeance on the Goddess and her chosen Knight?
 
It keeps me up at night sometimes.

“Do you sleep still? Wait! Do not be so hasty, boy… I can see this girl’s dreams… Oceans… Oceans… Oceans… Oceans… Oceans as far as the eye can see. They are vast seas… None can swim across them… They yield no fish to catch… What did the King of Hyrule say?… That the gods sealed Hyrule away? And they left behind people who would one day awaken Hyrule? How ridiculous… So many pathetic creatures, scattered across a handful of islands, drifting on this sea like fallen leaves on a forgotten pool… What they can possibly hope to achieve? Don’t you see? All of you… Your gods destroyed you!”

@Mikey
 
I actually saw a brief fancomic a while ago of Link and Ganondorf growing up as childhood friends, only to learn of their destinies and Ganondorf tearfully telling his old friend that he has no choice to fight him.

@Jarkes  

 
That sounds so sad :,(

@Takengrin Endmmar: Taken God King of Fear
 
It was. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find it again. I’m fairly certain that I saw it on Twitter…

@Jarkes  
I’d love to see that as an animation

Man Wario world is surprising Fun. Not perfect but Fun
