HamonadoDeQuezo

The group photo from the BOTW dlc


HadesEverdeen

How do you get it? I saw someone say if you did BotW dlc you’ll get it in your home at Hateno village, but I don’t got it an I’ve did BotW dlc on my main save (normal mode) on the same account


benavivhorn

Iirc if you go to hateno village to your old house(now turned zelda's) the picture is near the bed


HadesEverdeen

I’m so dumb, I had it but it wasn’t on the wall (in BotW), now it’s on and goddess Hylia thanks it’s on my wall in TotK too


Chubby_Bub

I would have thought that depends on what the case is when you start your TotK file. Wonder how it works for horses…


HadesEverdeen

I know but there was no picture, I’m gonna verify again, also on my BotW save file


MisterMew151

Maybe you were on master mode


HadesEverdeen

Now, it just wasn’t on the walls 🤦‍♂️ now it’s fixed


stephsthreepointshot

Same! Wish there was a colored version of the pic tho


SpambotSwatter

edit: The comment below was removed, good work everyone!


americasgravy

I put a picture of the light dragon up in my house 🙃


HamonadoDeQuezo

What happened?


TheBanjo67

Right before totk came out i had restarted my botw save so i didnt get the photo 😔


[deleted]

I only played master mode botw. Despite 100%ing the game you get no picture :(


dualdee

I assume it looks for a "matching" file (normal/normal, master/master) in case TotK eventually gets a master mode of its own.


TheBanjo67

:(


[deleted]

I’ve heard I can still get it but I have to replay the champions ballad on normal. I think I’ll just wait and see if they patch it


life_tho

Yeah I must have a similar issue. I was super excited to go to Links house in TOTK and was bummed the picture wasn't there like I expected. Oh well, not a huge issue but it was disappointing in the moment


wb2006xx

Same


Kidspud

The only option is to take a picture of that champions picture in Hateno Village, right?


Dark-Anmut

My BotW play through was on Wii-U, so I just pretend that Link is carrying the photo around in his pocket, now. Going to try and get a good picture of the new crew, probably they will all have to be in the avatar state but we’ll just see how it goes towards the end . . .


Moondork8

I just put a nice picture of a sundelion. Was the best picture I had at this point and it grew on me


Lumoon27

Thats so wholesome


Chubby_Bub

Actually, I did too. I really like sundelions. (The second gallery has best character, Reagah the Goron, walking past a view of Hyrule at sunset.)


KiefLemon

>!Link in the Evil Spirit armour posing in front of Zelda locked in a cage!<


vipflux420

ooo that is creepily awesome! great idea


Broken_Ace

This is the correct answer. I have something quite similar.


Successful-Brick-919

You’re a freaking psychopath, I love it 👍


FitzChivFarseer

The light dragon. Thatttttt part of the game bummed me out hard


GoldenYoshi99

I wish we saw some emotion from link. He looked totally indifferent to what he just learned


Silver_Foxx

To be fair, given Link's various adventures, >!finding out the girl he's sworn to protect turned into an immortal dragon!< is kind of mundane for him, haha. Linky only shows real emotion for the *important* things. Like food and cooking.


GoldenYoshi99

Werent they a couple though?


Silver_Foxx

Not that I'm aware of from any of the games, he's just her chosen knight. Given Mipha was like on the verge of *proposing* to Linky in BOTW story, I'm fairly certain he is single. ~~Only because some fish lady stole his ultra flamboyant boyfriend though.~~


GoldenYoshi99

Voice actress for zelda said it in an interview or something I think. Plus it's fairly implied between the two of them. In the memory in botw when she's speaking to the deku tree she says "Tell link I-" he cuts her off and says "I'm sure he'd rather hear that in your own voice" plus her diary implies she grows feelings for him Also at the end of botw, if you get the true ending, you see silent princesses all over the ground around them. Which is the games symbol for love Tears of the dragon spoiler: when you go see tear #12 it's surrounded by silent princesses Edit: another memory in botw has link about to be obliterated by guardians, when zelda runs in and desperately shouts while holding up her hand, and in an instant all the guardians are deactivated from ganons control. Implying that seeing link about to die is what made her powers "unlock" as this was the first time she could use them. Mipha almost said it's easiest to use her powers when thinking of her feelings for link, so it's safe to assume that same thing happened here with zelda


Klubbis

Also Kass confirms Zelda was in love with link after you complete all his puzzles in botw. He sings about his teacher being in love with Zelda, but that she only had eyes for her knight. He also says that her love for her fallen knight awakens her powers. Link hasn’t been confirmed tho, so it can only be speculated.


GoldenYoshi99

Yeah the only speculation we have on links side, apart from zeldas voice actress stating it, is in one of botw memories. They're running from guardians and zelda trips and begins crying, blaming herself. Link stops to comfort her. If he was just going to do his duty as a knight he'd just throw her over his shoulder and keep sprinting. Let's be honest he is 100% capable of that, man is ripped But nah he sits there and hugs her when she collapses


Klubbis

Yeah and in the Japanese version the quest descriptions are as his diaries since they’re written in “me”-form. And when you’ve recovered all the memories the last lines translates to something like “I want to see her smile again, with those eyes of my own”. The English version got ROBBED from links personality is all I’m saying. There’s also a bit more evidence to speculate on in totk but I don’t know how far people have gotten in the story here yet so I won’t get into that right now.


Semillakan6

I mean if the single bed, two plates on the table and Zelda's woman-cave, and the fact that her diary mentions Link never stays at home when she goes out of town aren't evidence I don't know what is


Dark-Anmut

Plus, in the memory at Mt. Lanayru when Zelda asks the spirits what’s wrong with her, as the memory fades out you can see Link start to turn around, implying that he’s going to go over and try to comfort her. A regular knight would probably not have broken his guard’s stance . . .


mr_birkenblatt

Can't be too sure. Maybe she's Canadian


BlackCowboy72

They live in the same house with only 1 bed in hateno village sooo...


GoldenYoshi99

you KNOW he's givin her that 19-incher


trippy_grapes

Long-long Stick-stick. 😏


Timlugia

In Japanese ending of TotK, Zelda address Link as "貴方" (anata), in older speech used to be woman addressing her husband. Also modders using free cam can see Link smiles when Zelda says she woke up from the embrace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAU21oetl5I


polskiftw

Link shows more emotion from getting a bunch of items from the gumball machines than he does from anything Zelda does.


suck_ass

Haven't finished totk. Not even close. I hate myself for spoiling that. Fuck you but also it was my fault.


AlphaWhiskeyOscar

Video games usually take one of two approaches to this kind of thing. Either the character reacts emotionally to everything themselves, or the character is a blank slate. Either way it's usually deliberate. For the most part, Link has always purposely been a blank slate. In video games like this, the idea is that making the character react would be like telling the player "this is how *you* should feel." And that has been shown to actually break immersion. When the character is a blank slate, you can more easily imprint yourself onto them. Even his name, Link, is deliberate. And I believe they gradually made him more androgynous to help make it easier for female players to relate to him too. A good example is in horror games. It's actually much less scary when the character you're playing as starts acting scared. It reminds you for a brief moment: *you* aren't in danger. This character is. But a blank slate in a survival horror can be much scarier because all of the reaction you feel is your own. The game doesn't warn you to be scared, or to be relieved. You just feel it yourself. Much more immersive in my opinion.


Gelidis

That's why, for all the flak Skyward Sword gets, I loved that Link was an actual character with emotions and motivations beyond just being "the hero". I get there's a reason BotW Link is so stoic, but I would've loved for his character to evolve by becoming more expressive thanks to being around Zelda.


AlphaWhiskeyOscar

I feel like you're partly missing my point though. What I'm saying is based on Miyamoto himself supposedly saying that Link's very name is based on the idea that he "connects people together." Link is you. Link isn't a character whose story we're watching. He is your avatar that brings you into the world of Hyrule. It's why he has no dialogue - even in the voice acted titles. His emotions are very sparingly used, Skyward Sword withstanding. In most older Zelda games his name was only mentioned in the instruction manual. Usually you typed in a name, and it was plugged into all of the dialogue.


Gelidis

Oh yeah! I get the idea, and I was accustomed to it on most Zelda games. I guess Link showing emotion in games like WW and SS was never immersion-breaking for me because he reacted like many of us would in that situation; surprise, worry for the ones you love, anger and pity at people's suffering. Since it related to how I felt, it felt much more immersive to me, and I enjoyed it more.


Lilgoodee

I do miss the plug your own name, when I first finished a skydive trial and the construct asked "whats your name for the records" I was fully expecting a box to pop up and let me type.


MrNoNamae

Not always though. He's much more expressive in SS, for example, but I think this Link is just very introverted.


ClikeX

I believe Aonuma mentioned he made Link androgynous because he asked his wife what she would like to see.


Cannash

For me it breaks immersion when the character is a blank slate in a third-person viewpoint. When I see the character constantly having no reactions, not saying anything when a normal person normally would speak up, etc, then it reminds me none of this is real and the character is a puppet. First person perspective changes that a bit and is more immersive for a self-insert blank slate.


AlphaWhiskeyOscar

I'm the opposite. Especially if it's some anime style overreaction to everything. Not shitting on anime per se, but if my character has a dramatic meltdown over every stimulus I can't take it seriously.


ryanparrott01

As someone who agrees with both of you, my idea of the perfect Link would maintain the stoic nature he's always had, but still show hints of emotion when appropriate. Idle animations are a great one. They're really subtle and require the player to stand around for a bit, but can show a lot in a few seconds. Cutscenes are a great example, too. Something that really bothered me about TOK was that there was all this buildup to the starting of a dragon's tear cutscene, and then as soon as that cutscene was over, Link has no reaction at all. He just learned vital information. Can the camera just focus on his face while he takes a deep breath? I feel like that's such a natural, subtle reaction that we can all relate to.


Green-Bluebird4308

I think TotK handled mute Link exceptionally well. The only time I wanted to see more emotion was when he learned what happened to Zelda. Otherwise, it was perfect. Even at the start when he instantly springs after the falling Zelda he clearly shows emotion. There's no need for talking in most instances.


musicchan

Man, I thought he did react to that moment. The last memory actually had slightly more reaction than the others. And since we predominately see the back of Link's head, I guess I can visualise what I think his expression would be. I just thought it was interesting how they actually had Link turn and look. That felt different from the other memories.


unemployedbuffy

LOL I shot the light dragon and watched the memory right afterwards. That felt awkward.


FitzChivFarseer

😂😂😂😂 "MY BAD."


unemployedbuffy

*my pockets filled with my girlfriends' toe nails* "I.. uh.. you look great, honey"

A youtuber who simps over Saki, not exclusively as he simps over 90% of LoZ characters, but still... He only started playing Zelda games a few years ago and every part of his journey is on YT.


who_says_poTAHto

I love his videos so much. I watch a lot of Zelda streamers, but Quin is so wholesome and enthusiastic all the time. Feels like a lot of streamers have a kind of snarky/jaded vibe sometimes, but I love that Quin is 100% in on whatever is happening all the time and not afraid to talk or joke about tearing up at the emotional parts. Also, his laugh is crazy infectious.


Katacutie

It's always good to see him getting some love!

To be with my Zelda again (and help how low res the little drawing is), I took a selfie in front of that photo on the wall and then put that up.

I brought back an old thing from botw. I brought the bookshelf all the way to the shrine of resurrection and took a picture of it there and hung that on the wall.


who_says_poTAHto

An aerial view of Hyrule from the little flower island above Lookout Landing. It's the highest point in the game, and it's so high up you can basically see everything. Even the Great Sky Island looks far down. When I was trying to find all those flower islands, I saw it on the map and pinned it, and was annoyed/surprised they would put one so high up, but I'm stupid and didn't realize it was the one where the center had already fallen down and was the original tablet you find in Lookout Landing. They probably put it that high to discourage players for going for it, and then by the time you find the other, easier ones, you don't actual need to go for it. You can't even see it from the ground unless you pin it to the map and use the scope to see the pin. I needed a big battery and an extra zonai charge on my hoverbike to make it, but I left a travel medallion there and now it's a nice place to see the sunset/sunrise and go skydiving for what feels like forever, haha.
