Hey there everyone,

Quick update: My upcoming video about Zelda's combat system will release next week. I would have preferred to upload this week, but unfortunately my dad suffered a heart attack on wednesday (his 2nd heart attack in the last few years). I've barely been able to get any work done since then.

The good news is that he's stable and back home from the hospital. I will be visiting him this weekend. After that I can get back to the grind!

The video is looking to be around 30 minutes long, so I hope you look forward to it ^^

Have a good one!

Helo hello!

Just wanted to do a quick poll to get a sense of what people currently think about weapon durability in Zelda. Do think it should be a mainstay for the next game? And if so, should it work the same as it does now? Feel free to add context to your vote in the comments.

Thank in advance! ^^

Should weapon durability be a thing again in Future Zelda's?: 

No, weapon durability must go

Yes, don't change it

Yes, but not in the same way as BotW/TotK

Hey folks,

Quick update on that dungeon video. I unfortunately experienced some issues with OBS, and more than half of my footage turned out to be corrupted. I am currently playing through the dungeons once again to capture new footage. I'm also making a few changes to the script. Playing through them twice now has given me some new insights or changed my opinion on certain things.

My apologies for the inconvenience. The video will release soon enough!

G'day everyone!

Time for a schedule update. I am currently working on a mini-series that will focus on the future of various Zelda staples and mechanics.

The first episode will go up this week, and will be a deep dive into the future of Zelda dungeons. It mostly consists of hopes, wishes as well as a critical analysis of Tears of the Kingdom's dungeon design, and how dungeons could be designed moving forward. So basically, we are going back to the roots of Monster Maze ;)

The long form TotK story/lore critique is still in the works as well, however it is turning into a huge project. The script especially needs to be absolutely on point. So I will be taking my time with it and not put a pin on it in terms of a release date.

I also have more Elden Ring videos planned for the near future. But since we still have plenty of time before the DLC arrives I am not in a huge rush. I will do my best to space out Elden Ring and Zelda content effectively, for the sake of variety.

For those who are wondering about the TotK livestreams... well... the whole "Nintendo vs Yuzu" situation has been a a bit tumultuous to say the least. So for the time being I will only use emulated footage for my "cinematic" content. I could simply play the Switch version, but since TotK only allows for 1 save file at a time, I am not in the mood to constantly create back-ups and transfer save files between systems, etc. It's a real hastle. I'd rather keep my OG save file safe and intact on my Switch.

Anyway, that is all for now and see you soon!

Hello hello!

Quick update. I will be going for a Monday stream. This time we will be tackling the Construct Factory/Spirit Temple! The lore video I'm working on needs a little more work, so we are looking at a mid-week upload (approx wednesday).

Hope to see you then!

G'day everyone,

I'm afraid I am feeling under the weather this weekend. So no stream unfortunately. I was hoping I would feel better today, but sadly not. If I feel better tomorrow, I will do a monday stream instead. If not, I hope to see you during the mid-week stream on wednesday! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hope you had a great weekend,

G'day everyone!

Due to some scheduling issues in the mid-week I will continue the TotK story stream this Sunday. Also, I will be appearing on BanditGames's stream this saturday with a bunch of Zelda YouTubers. We don't have a timeframe just yet, but as soon as we do I will let you guys know asap. You can also keep an eye on Bandit's Twitter or Community posts for updates.

Hope to see you then!
