The Myths, Legends & Hoaxes of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
YouTube video by Gaming Reinvented The Myths, Legends & Hoaxes of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

New video folks! This time I’m revisiting and investigating old myths, legends and hoaxes for #Zelda #BreathoftheWild: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9zW...

100% agree with BotW for sure. The first time through that game is just a magical experience overall, and one I wish I could experience all over again.

Then again, I feel a lot of big Switch 1/2 games are like that. Odyssey, DK Bananza, Luigi’s Mansion 3…

Honestly, I’d rather have a slower growing industry that one based on exploiting and manipulating people through casino like mechanics.

I’m sure the casino and sports betting industries would say the same thing about regulation there too…

Did you know that you don’t need water attacks to fight Mucktorok or to target its weaknesses to fight Frox in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom? Learn more here:

Serebii.net - Where Legends Come To Life Contains up-to-date news, databases and information about all PokΓ©mon Games, TCG sets and the TV show.

Yeah it’s genuinely refreshing how few ads Serebii.net has. It’s one of the reasons I use it on mobile, since most news sites and wikis perform terribly on that hardware.

Comparing it to Bulbapedia on that front is kinda depressing.

Hmm does anyone have any idea where they may have come from? Don’t know much Japanese, but given that Zelda character names usually fit into a theme, I’m curious what’s going on here.

Oh hey I took part in this video about what Nintendo could announce for the 40th anniversary of the Legend of Zelda series! It’s well worth watching for sure, since all sorts of Zelda creators are featured here!

06.10.2025 00:45 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

No not yet. It doesn’t feel like my top priority as far as new game purchases go. Maybe I’ll get it in future or something.

God these sprites look awesome. Makes me wish someone would actually build a Kirby themed Super Mario RPG ROM hack with them or something, that would be incredible!

Either way, great job with the art here. You nailed both styles for sure.

It’s a bit of a shame since the game itself has some interesting ideas (and a sometimes surprisingly catchy soundtrack). But the mechanics…

03.10.2025 10:52 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Goddamnit, seems Nintendo even turned Mario into one of those floating head with hands bosses!

Filled it out. Generally I’d say gaming video creators and influencers tend to be split into two categories: those that respond to what’s in the β€˜mainstream’ media and those that cover a very specialist topic that doesn’t get much traditional media coverage (speedruns, mods, etc)

Didn’t realise Conker’s Pocket Tales has a court room/jail scene. Kinda hard to remember that Conker did indeed have games before Bad Fur Day.

Oh damn, didn’t expect one of the hosts of Designing For on the Kongversation. As someone who likes both shows, this is gonna be awesome.

Also, kinda funny to think that both Mario and DK got screwed over by a kangaroo court. Ah well, least the latter gets out of trouble much quicker!

Now that’s an interesting take. Out of curiosity, what made you prefer the later NSMB games over Wonder? I guess it’s a level design vs creative theming thing?

God there are so many Game Boy Advance games out there… may as well start with these though

Well that’s kinda depressing. I mean it probably makes sense in a β€œwants to diversify sources of income so it’s not from oil” sense, but they’re one of the governments I least want involved in running companies that could influence people elsewhere.

Wasn’t SNK owned by a group like this? Kinda worried how prominent Saudi Arabia is in owning video game developers and other gaming related companies at the moment.

If there’s anything you’ll notice on that site, it’s that people will add you to lists for the most random stuff possible, and block others at the drop of a hat.

Honestly makes me wonder what the Clearsky page for someone like Fred Rogers or Bob Ross would be. Bet they’d still be on lists/blocked!

29.09.2025 11:04 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

So no new mobile games for you this time. Do you play Fire Emblem Heroes?

25.09.2025 19:58 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Genuinely surprised it didn’t include SMB 1 too. Super Mario Land 1 and 2 were amazing too, those would have been great parts of the series.

Every Emerald Rush Perk in Donkey Kong Bananza! As you know, Perks are one of the most important things you’ll need in the Emerald Rush mode for Donkey Kong Bananza. These are ability upgrades that do things like cause enemies to drop more items…

Since I couldn’t find this info online, I decided to list all the perks you can get in Emerald Rush in #DonkeyKongBananza, as well as provide some advice for which to choose:

Well, that’s a wrap on the #DonkeyKongBananza DLC. Statues collected, extra boss down, silly Bananatone puzzle completed.

That’s really cool! Makes me want to see a Mario & Luigi game with Wario and Waluigi as some of the main characters, like loads of fan concepts used to suggest.

Super Mario Galaxy has probably the most badass version of Bowser in the main series. It’s not Paper Mario 1 level competent or Paper Jam level messed up, but it’s the most powerful he’s felt in a platformer for sure.

Reminds me of how a certain Donkey Kong Country 2 song name was actually created by DK Vine, leading to an interesting reaction when it was renamed for Nintendo Music.

To be fair, many older games didn’t really name their songs, so whatever fan upload did best usually became the de facto name.

19.09.2025 09:22 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Heck yeah! It may not be much of the soundtrack, but it’s some of the best songs anyway, and makes me excited for when the rest gets added in future.
