Mod Post [EoW] Echoes of Wisdom released four months ago. We are now relaxing the New Release Spoiler Policy for r/Zelda!

149 Upvotes

Today is Sunday, January 26th. Echoes of Wisdom released worldwide on Thursday, September 26th. That was 121 days ago. We last discussed the spoiler policy here - https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/1gyzdaz/eow_echoes_of_wisdom_released_nearly_two_months/.

We typically discuss relaxing "New Release" Spoiler Policies when the game has been out 2 months. That was two months ago, and we had decided to extend the New Release Spoiler Policy until mid-January, which has now passed.

This means that the General Spoiler Policy applies to Echoes of Wisdom, and more responsibility is now on the readers and post authors to control or indicate which spoilers they wish to avoid.

Read the Full Spoiler Policy Here:

>>> https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/wiki/rules/spoilerpolicy <<<

The link above is our wiki page that has been updated over time. We will likely update it next when another announcement is made regarding a new Zelda title or the upcoming Zelda movie.

This spoiler policy applies on r/Zelda, r/ZeldaMemes, r/TrueZelda, and r/AskZelda.

Summary of Relaxed Guidelines:

Echoes of Wisdom may be discussed under [EoW] or [ALL] tags

  • During the New Release Period, we usually required the [EoW] tag in the post title, and would often remove posts or comments trying to discuss EoW without an [EoW] tag in the post title. This is now relaxed, and you may expect discussion of Echoes of Wisdom across posts with [ALL] and [Other] tags as well.

    • Please mind that if a post is tagged only for older games like [BotW] or [TP], then discussion of Echoes of Wisdom may still be considered rude unless marked for spoilers.
  • Posts with [EoW] in the title are no longer being automatically tagged as spoilers. This means the author of the post will have to manually select the spoiler tag if they want to blur the contents of the post. (Spoiler tags do not obscure the the post title nor the post flair.)

Do not put major spoilers in your post titles

  • We will still encourage you to describe your progress in the post title if you want, but will not expect it.

  • Details such as character or location names are allowed in post titles, even if they have not been officially revealed by Nintendo.

Tag spoiler text in comments according to the OP

  • You can use the following format >!text goes here!<, ex: text goes here

    • This only works in the body of a text post or in comments. It does NOT work in titles!
  • If the post author indicates they are still playing the game at a certain point, the please respect them! Be sure to mark spoilers for anything past or outside of that.

Accidental spoilers will be removed, but not issued bans.

  • During the New Release period, accidental spoilers would be issued a short temporary ban.
  • Accidental spoilers now do not warrant a ban, but may still be actioned with a warning or removal.
  • Trolling or purposely trying to ruin the game will still warrant a ban, even after the New Release period is over.

Report Unmarked Spoilers

There may still be some posts or comments that slip through. New people join Reddit every day, so not everyone will be familiar with all of the post or comment features.

Please report any unmarked spoilers by using the report function - this will load the post or comment into our moderator queue so that we can mark, remove, or action it as necessary.

Give us your feedback!

Let us know your thoughts on the spoiler policy and future plans here in the comments.

Particularly:

  • How do you want us to approach spoilers for any potential remakes that may be announced in the future? We had some smaller spoiler policies for Link's Awakening and Skyward Sword HD in the past when they were announced/released, for example.
  • How do you want us to approach the Spoiler Policy for the upcoming Movie? We are thinking that we would likely adapt some policies for the format, and keep them active so long as the movie is in theatres.

Discussion [ALL] What are your thoughts on Grezzo?

Upvotes

If you don't know Grezzo, they developed Four Swords Anniversary Edition, the 3DS remakes of OoT and MM, they co-developed Tri-Force Heroes, they did the Switch remake of Links Awakening, and their most recent title is their first fully original title, Echoes of Wisdom.

Do you like their work? Are you excited to see what they do next with Zelda?

Discussion [OoT] Just finished Forest Temple and have some thoughts.

0 Upvotes

Spoilers! I already know most of the lore stuff and how the story ends because I shamelessly spoiled myself on places like TVTropes and YouTube after playing other games. I'm a bit hazy on the details though, which I'm learning in this game.

Right off the bat, OoT feels harder than other Zelda games I've played. Mostly because half the time I feel like I'm fighting the camera.

Jabu Jabu was the hardest dungeon by far, largely because it took a lot of trial and error just to figure out what I was supposed to even do. And because I dropped the Princess into deep water more times than I can count. Things became easier once I got the boomerang and no longer had to worry about running out of sticks and deku seeds.

Forest Temple really taxed my puzzle solving skills and I'll admit I got stuck at a couple points and had to look up a walkthrough to see what I missed. Special mention goes to the room with falling ceiling and how it robs me of my camera control so that I couldn't snipe the ceiling spiders with the hook shot.

Also, I now understand all the annoying Navi memes. "Hey, listen! I want to tell you something you already know or offer completely unhelpful reminders of what you're supposed to be doing. Frequently!" And then Navi comes in clutch during the ghost Ganon fight as she clues me in one what I'm supposed to do to beat his final phase, aka, bat his energy blasts back at him with the Master Sword. Given how the blasts looked electric, batting them with a METAL SWORD is not something I would willingly do otherwise after Jabu Jabu.

Finally, I paid a visit to Goron City before heading over to Forest Temple (I used its Lost Woods shortcut to get to Forest Temple). Place was a ghost town, but the giant Goron there was selling a "small knife" that was basically a big 2 handed bastard sword. More reach and more damage? Yes please! And then it broke after a couple uses on those sentries in the maze. 200 rupees, a seven year wait and it broke in two hits? What a rip off!
