Day 28 - Graveyard in the Playground By ZeldaNoVorsu -- Report

In some weird warping of space, time, and reality, kid versions of certain Super Smash Bros. Ultimate characters are playing on a playground. In a classic innocent move, some of them eat their friends to pretend they're pregnant. The others just eat because they can. Comical child shenanigans ensue. This idea was suggested by  SmaxTheDestroyer.

Chibi Sheik is thumbnail because I couldn't find another one I liked.

Unrelated to the story, but how do you feel about the Age of Calamity demo?

Of what I've played so far, I've enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm still getting used to the new mechanics but the old ones came right back. The story has also gotten me quite excited to see what happens. Less than a month to go!

Ah, are you in the "Peach is Rosalina" group? Because that could definitely be a possibility in my book. Oh, have you tried the HW:AoC demo yet?

Looks like KHLover beat me by 22 seconds. Welp.

Um, actually, I am in the "Peach is Rosalina's mum" group, if that's a thing. See my response to KHLover.

Oh, that's what I meant. And the demo is good, two whole levels, 3 characters (which I'll let you find for yourself), and even some side missions. I want to discuss the specifics of gameplay, but you should play it first.

Ooh, yes, I've very much enjoyed what I've played so far. The three playable characters were the ones I expected, but I'm not disappointed as I wanted to play as all three, though one especially. Did the two whole levels before calling it a night, so I'll play with the side missions later. I'm starting to get a hang of the gameplay, though it seems harder than classic HW as merely spamming dodge does not make me invincible like it used to.

Yeah, it was a bit hard unlearning my controls from way too many hours of HW, but they're starting to grow on me. Here's my 2 cents:
Runes: Much better implemented than the items from HW, and I do enjoy the differences between characters, like Impa riding the Cryonis block.
Link: A bit different than HW, but I'm starting to get the hang of him. The bow is fun, if not a bit hard to get used to. I'll probably main him again, if not...
Impa: Really interesting character, and full clones can decimate entire fields. Took care of the boss of the second area without using help. Definite top tier.
Zelda: Probably your favorite, she's a bit awkward to play as personally. It does make sense, as she hadn't mastered her powers yet and hadn't done any real fights. Her moveset feels very incomplete, which I hope will get better in the full game.
Egg Guardian: Adorable timeline breaker (or so people say). There is something interesting involving him in the post battle cutscene for the second mission, I hope we get to figure out what that's about.
Overall, the game looks enjoyable, and I look forward to the full release.

Overall, my opinion is that the game is less button mashing-eny than classic HW. I tried playing like classic HW, peppering my opponents with attacks and spamming dodge, but spamming dodge doesn't seem to make you as invincible. Runes are definitely a nice change, as are the rods. Link to me felt pretty much the same, I mean his moves are slightly different, but otherwise he's lots of slashes and spins. Impa I had a bit of a hard time using at first because she needs to use ZR as well as just Y and X like I'm used to. Zelda was the one I was the best at... partly because she seemed to actually dodge, though seeing as I had to play as the other two for a while, that might be because I figured out how to dodge. However, her type of playstyle, involving chaotic attacks are the ones I tend to like the most, though I also just kept spamming the giant bomb combo. I didn't really notice anything "incomplete" about it, but maybe I'm just not trying to combo enough or something. Though, if we get to play with her unlocked powers at all, that may be interesting. I love Egg Guardian. Sure, he travelled through time from what I'm guessing is the prime BotW prequel time, but I'm thinking it won't matter. Sure, Zelda and co. see the destruction of Hyrule, but that sort of thing could happen in prophetic dreams or visions. I do think they may be trying to prevent the same exact cutscenes from playing out so we don't get bored, but I think we can assume most of the story is the same without Egg Guardian. For instance, King Rhoam and Zelda still do not have a good relationship. Zelda doesn't mind Link now, but I could see him getting the sword warping her perspective temporarily. I'm thinking that ending cutscene might be evil egg guardian. Could be interesting. And, there was a time when the Guardian music instilled fear in me. That time passed as I learned how to face them. But when the Guardian music starts and the laser is aimed at Zelda's forehead... my heart stopped for a moment I think.

I do enjoy how combos are linked to sidequests, which are locked behind story progress, so we can really learn with the characters. Customizable outfits for Link is cool, but I hope we get at least alts for the rest of the cast, it doesn't have to be the mix and match of Link. And did you really think they'd do anything to Zelda? Not only does she have plot armor, but we know she survives to fight the Calamity alone after Link is sealed. Oh, forgot to ask, what's your opinions on the new villain? Definitely getting Yuga vibes from them.

Well, Zelda will at least have her prayer dress, so she'll have one alt. Not sure if she'll also get her formal dress as that'd be a bit silly. Not sure what other alts would be, but I'll take them if we get them. Squid... of course I didn't think that, but it doesn't matter if I know she has omega plot armor, I was immersed in the new cutscene, and seeing Zelda in danger, even if I know she'll be alright, still invokes a fearful reaction. Blame this website and their tendency to hurt her without regards for the plot. I haven't seen anything of them in the game yet, but I'm thinking an Agahnim/Ghirahim-style character. I think it'd be kind of cool if it was Ghirahim.

Fair enough. If it wasn't for you, Zelda would likely be a much more common prey, but thanks to you and your followers, she's almost always pred. And I totally forgot about Agahnim, I blame ALbW. I guess they're the real leader of the Yiga, because Kohga is more of a name to fear than an actual threat. Wait a minute... Yuga... Yiga... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ssnw2GA657s

It is my destiny to bury the works of those who do not understand, this misguided and malicious, and to give hope to those who would otherwise feel that they are alone in their love for the princess here, a place that unlike most of the internet, does not show her the respect she deserves...

Ahem. Yes, it would seem that they're either the true leader of the Yiga or a figure much more closely related to Ganon that the Yiga revere them as well. Either way, they are an interesting new piece in this puzzle, and a good way to make the Yiga scarier. But who knows, Kohga's also 100 years younger. Perhaps he shall be more of a threat.
