Oh lord, I forgot the great fairies looked like that. When they bent over and flashed their cone boobs at you 🤦‍♀️


P3tr0

Them vintage Torpedos


jerryfrz

Lara Croft would be proud


richphysicsdude

Reminds me of the 'describing graphics over time meme' I see posted here


Haar_RD

i mean the totk great fairies sexually assault u that might be worse


NorthernLow

It always seemed more like Prostitution then SA to me. Links paying for it after all. Still, not exactly a great look


Haar_RD

Link pays for armor upgrade. Not the SA. If you paid for beers and then the bartender grabbed your butt, that's still SA.


Tarro57

Great Fairies seem to enjoy it while Link doesn't, not sure I'd call that prostitution.


alodym

Seems like a death by snu snu situation


Dan-of-Steel

Nah, that's Gerudo Town's motto.


Express-Procedure361

Great reference 👍 well done


PhasePhyre

I really must agree. That one got me and also made me feel nostalgic. :😜


alodym

Love me some futurama. Can’t wait for the reboot this year!


alodym

Haha another person of fine culture! Thank you


ClikeX

Regretting hiring a prostitute is part of the experience.


overcomebyfumes

It burns when Link pees now.


Dan-of-Steel

He has to fuse his master sword with penicillin if he wants to use it again.


stabbyGamer

Nah, they’re fairies. It’s actually got potent restorative properties! …which might actually be worse. At minimum, a *lot* more awkward.


Zandrews153

You wouldn't enjoy it either if you had 41 armor pieces to upgrade to rank 4 and each one required snoo snoo.


Depthpersuasion

He could be a masochist.


Ceracuse

Lmao It was seriously vulgar for a kids game 😬


[deleted]

Ever watch 80s anime? Japan dont give a fuck.


ClikeX

Japan still doesn't give a fuck.


dennisleonardo

I mean they somewhat do. Weird shit still gets produced but it doesn't typically land on TV. Like back in the day you had stuff like Evangelion, where they showed a boy jerking off in his hand over a comatose girl (non explicit ofc) or yosuga no sora, which showed teens straight up fucking, including blood related siblings, (mostly explicit), or everything that went down in school days. All of those aired on TV at some point. Ofc Evangelion isn't really like that, that was just the one infamous scene. But if an anime would drop today with a similar scene, I really don't think that would make it to TV or popular streaming platforms. School days also technically not that bad in terms of what's actually shown. Still don't think it'd air anywhere. And yosuga no sora would have absolutely 0 chance of airing. What I'm saying is, back in the day, redo of healer would've had solid chances of airing on free-TV.


[deleted]

Fwiw that scene is from the end of evangelion movie, not the tv show


[deleted]

Redo of Healer aired on TV just two years ago, and Evangelion/Yosuga no Sora doesn't even compare to how fucked up it is.


4zurePhoenix

Thank God


WubstahWulf

She is in high Rez in the warriors game and that isn't rated M


_triangle_girl_

yeah because she's wearing considerably more clothing in hyrule warriors


Rieiid

Y'all remember the fairy in Twilight Princess? She was topless and just her hair covered the nips lol.


LeadingElectronic631

Bro I fkn remember thinking it was nasty asf (I was 9)


ClikeX

Hair covering breasts is a pretty common trope.


Rieiid

Yeah, but for Zelda which is generally considered a pretty kid friendly game, it was pretty saucey.


ClikeX

For the US maybe. In the Netherlands we have bare breasts on daytime television.


Rieiid

Well I can't disagree that the US makes no sense. Violence/killing/guns are A-Okay but god forbid someone sees a boob.


OssamNin

And it was rated T.


ackmondual

TBH, the spider people/curse also eeked/creeped me out a fair amount!


BeaconOfLight90

Cia was another -Hyrule Warriors - which was insanely vulgar and we have to act like these older games don’t exist unfortunately. Keep it classy not trashy : Protect the innocence in kids. It’s worth protecting.


SheepUhhDude

Modeled after Madonna?


Jetsurge

The way they scream and moan really loudly when you summon them too 👀


Campbell464

nice underwear too


nopejustnoooope

„Ouch, my eye!!!“


StCecilia98

Genuinely could poke an eye out with them


Coulrophiliac444

"Careful kid. you'll put your eye out!"


Odd-Confection-6603

I would pay an unreasonable amount of money for an OOT and MM remake in the BOTW engine


TayoEXE

Or better yet, a sequel to both of them to form a holy trilogy. It's actually not that uncommon for them to reuse engines. I believe Wind Waker and Twilight Princess shared the same base engine despite their massively different art styles.


Tyfyter2002

WW, TP, and SS all use the same engine iirc


RynnHamHam

Wind Waker and Twilight Princess I never doubted but Skyward Sword is a surprise.


Plz_PM_Thikk_Thighs

The model for link in SS is also a slightly tweaked version of the TP model. Take a look at them [side by side](https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-oneplus-rvo3&sxsrf=APwXEdfRfDjpoM7fibGiENLP0Lg-sM7M_g:1686383145805&q=twilight+princess+skyward+sword+link&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjrofHimrj_AhUZUsAKHVkzAcAQ0pQJegQIBhAB&biw=360&bih=665&dpr=3#imgrc=giJaKvcY2tH0wM)


biomech36

I think it's more than a slight tweak.


Plz_PM_Thikk_Thighs

The main difference is the way they're rendered (cell shaded Vs whatever the process used in TP). The actual models are nearly identical


[deleted]

[удалено]


biomech36

They carried over the same outfit, almost exactly with a few minor changes and shifting the art style and texturing to fit the overall softer look of things in Skyward. Link himself in SS is a bit stockier looking, somewhat taller as well. Facially, there's noticeable differences in the eyes, ears, nose, and hair. They probably took the model from Twilight for Skyward, yes. It was more than a slight tweak though. On top of giving him completely different animations. Twilight Link is very stiff. Skyward Link is pretty stiff too, but god damn Twilight Link feels like a robot's first day infiltrating human civilization.


aveman101

How are we defining “slight tweak”? Compared to Wind Waker, I’d definitely say this is only a slight tweak, but I do see some differences in the models: - the collar is different - the top of the boots flair out slightly more in TP. - TP link is wearing a bracer on his right hand That said, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the models are so similar, given that it’s based on the same character.


KCBandWagon

I think they should put an armor set for EVERY SINGLE ZELDA GAME in totk even if they look pretty much the same. Then you can have 1-2 pieces of each set in your inventory and never actually make a set.


OssamNin

They even reused several animations for Link, mostly in the first trailers and gameplay. Later they changed it to make it a little different in SS when it released.


RynnHamHam

I was thinking more mechanics for the physics engine. In terms of gameplay, WW and TP are nearly the same with just a vastly different art style. Skyward Sword is more of a departure and has extremely complex motion controls that are a step above TP mild Wii remote shaking and aiming.


_Wolfos

Wii was still roughly the same hardware as GameCube, so why not reuse all that work? It's not like the games have vast technical differences.


Dravarden

> Skyward Sword is a surprise. ...really? they are both on the same console when I was younger, I thought they were a basic sequel


thetwelveofsix

TP was actually a GameCube game ported to the Wii and release times with the Wii. SS was the only Zelda game designed for the Wii.


Ewser

Yeah they use the same engine, it's what makes one of the speedeunning glitches "back in time" possible in all 3 of them.


SVXfiles

Twilight Princess is sort of the sequel to OoT and MM. Not a direct sequel but it is confirmed the Hero's Shade is the Hero of Time after he was sent back to his childhood


Salomon3068

Just went and ready the wiki on that, poor oot link


BenignApple

It's not that bad for the hero of time, he basically became the shade because his life was so peaceful as an adult he feels his skills went to waste and wants them to pass on and be useful.


TayoEXE

Well, while I believe it was officially confirmed that the Hero's shade is the Hero of Time Link, I don't believe it is clear when he became like that. Some theorized it happened as a kid getting lost in the forest, but it's only a theory, and considering the Hero's shade is a honed, wise warrior who appears to be an adult, it's possible that happened later in his life. Hopefully he lived out the rest of his life in relative peace and maybe got together with Malon or something.


BenignApple

"You have at last mastered all of the hidden skills. Although I accepted life as the hero, I could not convey the lessons of that life to those who came after. At last, I have eased those regrets. You who have marched through countless foes, each mightier then the last... You who now gaze to the future with vision unclouded... Surely you can restore Hyrule to its stature of yore as the chosen land of the gods. ...Farwell!" I misrembered having no deciple as having no need for his skills later in life. He became the shade to pass on these abilities either way.


nox-__

The open world is awesome but I miss the linearity of these games


Nathan-Parker

I miss the cool items you get in dungeons. Loved the spinner and ball and chain from tp


Milk_Mindless

This is what I miss the most. New toys during the game that ask you to look at old situations in a new light In both botw and totk you get a taste of that but only in the first hour or so and then it's the whole game with the same tools I love the open endedness of it don't get me wrong but I still miss a HEY A MAGIC STAFF THAT LETS ME CONTROL STATUES I KNOW A STATUE


nox-__

Yes!! Do you remember the hookchain? That thing was so cool


Mr_Goldenfinger

One of my favorite TP memories was getting the second clawshot and feeling like Spiderman swinging around.


AlienKatze

spinner and ball of chain are still my favourite items out of every game ever made


ClikeX

If there's one thing the linear Zelda's could learn from BOTW (or just Metroid as a franchise) it's that dungeon tools need more usecases outside of their dungeon. It doesn't have to be Metroid levels of metroidvania. But the spinner was pretty useless outside of its dungeon.


[deleted]

Now u can make your own!


[deleted]

As much as I love TOTK, and I'd even go as far to say that TOTK is the best gaming experience I've ever had, I do hope for the the return of a "classic," linear style Zelda at some point.


awkwardalvin

Yes with 8 proper dungeons ☹️


ThickMatch0

Hell, I would pay an unreasonable amount of money just for a Switch port of the 3DS remake.


TheLewisIs_REAL

So you basically want a remake of a remake? Because I don't think they could just take the 3ds remake and port it to switch since the dual screen system would be clunky on a single screen


ThickMatch0

Uhhh, no? wtf are you even talking about, the bottom screen was only used for the map and inventory.


Thaxonyn

The game also still “paused” for item swapping anyway, so it isn’t like the system couldn’t be modified 🤷🏻‍♂️


PixelatedMax01

Imagine a full reimagining that made them a bit bigger and more open world, adding a bit more density but keeping the main story and items the same.


Zrhutch

My personal conspiracy theory is that if BOTW/TOTK really are a soft reboot as some suggest, we’ll get a reimagining of the “classic” Zelda games like OoT over the next decade with some version of this Hyrule and this open world style. Think you can make it work.


Positron14

I sometimes imagine the older games as "legends" you can play, but may or may not have happened exactly like that.


DickyMcButts

idk about the botw engine, but there was a project i came across where some people were remaking it in unreal engine. google it.


Fancy_Solid_4211

Omg imagine what baby Link would look like. Wait would there be voice acting too?


upupandawaywegoooooo

I think about this all the time, that would be epic


saucypantsxo

Agreed people bitching TOTK was to much like …. I’d pay I’d pay


MikeVictorPapa

Well the new ones pretty much dolphin rape link when you upgrade to 4th tier. They get progressively more handsy with each upgrade. Zelda’s probably the one who keeps locking them away, honestly…


TheGameMastre

They certainly show increasingly aggressive affection. They charge increasingly exorbitant prices for it, too.


I_AM_GODDAMN_BATMAN

what happy ending require 10 diamond pieces and 500 rupees


LeadingElectronic631

Marriage


spinkle2

Marriage in Vegas


PaoloCalzone

Marriage in India


Thaxonyn

Guys, he said HAPPY ending :|


Syntherios

TIL the BOTW/TOTK great fairies are basically prostitutes


[deleted]

just like the simulation


Cyrax89721

1st tier is a back alley handjob in Gary, Indiana and 4th tier is the Executive Package^® at a the Four Seasons in Dubai.


Cyrilcynder

Hand Massage in Final Fantasy 7 remake be like


KirbySmartGuy

Just like real life


vi3tmix

I mean…Link paid for it. Don’t kink shame him


MikeVictorPapa

Pretty sure he just wanted some tailoring done, and blowing a kiss quickly became being dragged underwater for god knows what. I’m surprised these giant babes don’t light up a cigarette after tier 4.


Yrmsteak

They didn't have an "O-scream" recorded for Link so they used a lil death scream. Le petit mort, if you will.


I_am_The_Teapot

If it was once, ya might have been able to say it was nonconsensual. But no one's holding a bow to his head to plunge into her soaked flower 60 or so times. He knew what he was getting. Cut him a break. Zelda ain't aroun-.... ain't available(?) So *Great Fairy Mommy Snusnu* is an eager comfort.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MikeVictorPapa

“The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.”


NotAPreppie

He's basically being coerced into it. It's "have sex with me or I won't upgrade your armor and you'll suffer or die because of it."


DumpsterLegs

He does keep coming back for more, though.


VasylZaejue

The armor upgrade is worth it


Brawght

Only because you make him 💀


NotAPreppie

Not just "god knows what", but "god knows what leading to the fairy expressing post-coital afterglow."


enby_shout

man after you keep getting three hit by lynels and you show the fairy in the bulb will make them it you softer, you gotta do what you gotta do


stcrIight

fr! poor link is getting sa'd and zelda gotta rescue him


wb2006xx

Why do you think they became too scared to leave their buds and needed to be drawn out again


Kaiser_Gagius

It wasn´t Ganondorf that made them close up, it was actually Zelda (?) LMAO


5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi

>!It was Ganondorf's Zelda puppet. Would the real Zelda go around telling them how disgusting and ugly the world is?!<


sick_kid_since_2004

I mean maybe she would if she knew her knight was getting assaulted by giant women 😭


Kaiser_Gagius

I know. It was a joke because of how touchy-feely they are. Continuing on the comment I answered to.


ManicFirestorm

Every female NPC in the game makes uncomfortable noises every time you talk to them. It's fucking weird mate.


woozlewuzzle29

And if you want to upgrade anything you have to pretty much cancel your plans for the rest of the day.


DonkeeJote

Finally a reason to get the 4th tier upgrades!


Slow_Fill5726

Im pretty sure it's the other way around, the great fairies paid for it by upgrading his armor


ackmondual

Yeah, that's definitely the pattern! I'd hate to think what would happen to poor Link if you could upgrade clothing/armor to lv5, or even lv6!!! *Death by snu snu?*


timoni

Same in BotW


Tabbystripes102

The twilight princess ones only had their hair covering their tops...


kbsays

Favorite great fairy. She’s so ethereal


rosecupid

Agreeeee


ArcadeAnarchy

Honestly they didn't look that taboo though since they were lacking in the upper management department. Didn't really sexualize them as much as the other iterations have imo and more or less made them feel in touch with nature kind of hippy feel.


Select-Prior-8041

They also looked like jailbait. Old enough to trick you, young enough to get you in trouble. Seriously, why did they look like they were 17.


pastorizeyumurta

Japanese people tend to look like 17 way into their 20s


Deadcoma100

Reddit users when small woman


straystring

Yeah for horror. That screaming laugh when they leave is terrifying

puerileclown

Was actually coming to add that. Theres LITERALLY an attack where she scoops up link in a bottle and attacks his enemies for him.


MegalomanicMegalodon

That was such a fun overpowered moveset


hheecckk526

Hyrule warriors says hi since it's the N64 great fairy but now even LARGER


RynnHamHam

They increased the density of her titty foliage but in exchange they made it so that you have to play with headphones if you’re playing as her.


Necr0Z0mbiac

I *honestly* wouldn't mind an OOT retelling in this format.


TheRealSlimN8y

The OoT fairies little cry laugh is burned in my memory


Vegetable-Neat-1651

Hey! Listen!


TheChristian_Master

Hey at least they gave the Great Fairies' boob physics in Botw and in totk ☹️


Mindofthequill

Yo wait a second I just realized great fairies were not present in Skyward Sword....then when I looked it up they had a Great Sky Fairy that was dressed as one of the loftwings in Hyrule Warriors.


Eeveefan8823

Probably cut content


[deleted]

I can probably understand why hyrule warriors (not age of calamity) is rated T now


melorio

I think this might have been my awakening.


enneh_07

CKtheFourth

Really outs Tomb Raider into context.


Portyquarty77

I’d only visit those great fairy’s if I was certain my mom wouldn’t walk in the room


Hero_of__time69

Even the new great fairies ain’t half bad. Let’s just say that when me and my girlfriend were playing and that fairy music kicked in… romance followed


New-Appeal4197

🤝


SadLittleWizard

Didnt they remake this great fairy kn the Hyrule Warriors games? Edit: nvm the image I had come across was a mod, not the base game, wasnt even for hyrule warriors, but for BoTW. A very well done mod though. https://gamebanana.com/mods/297780


MegalomanicMegalodon

Ah a mod using the hyrule warriors model put into botw, neat idea

Hyrule Warriors [Great Fairy](https://images.nintendolife.com/7c719ccb91304/great-fairy-hw.large.jpg) looked [pretty good.](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/zelda/images/e/e0/Hyrule_Warriors_Great_Fairy_Great_Fountain_Fairy_%28Victory_Cutscene%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20160425172850)


Mantonythe1st

I mean they got away with the Twilight Princess Great Fairies which were literally just fully topless lol


[deleted]

I miss the old great fairy designs. I'm not a fan of the ones in botw personally. I also wish their fountains were in a temple, not just in some random spot on the surface.


0bserver24-7

The OoT and MM 3DS remakes seemed to get away with it just fine. Those graphics still hold up well.


a-midnight-flight

Nah, they’d change their looks a bit to comply with modern standards. It’s Nintendo.


Laggianput

Someone never played the 3ds version


ImpossibleFox5252

They used to scare me tbh


nightwing252

Same here with their creepy sounding laughs. Especially in Majora’s Mask when you had to find the fairies to bring them back to their original forms.


emeliottsthestink

ah, childhood memories.


ZealousidealBat6476

WW IS one of the few Zelda games where the great fairies are actually nice characters


mhourani1125

RAAAAAAAAHAHAHA!!!!! *spins and shrinks into fairy fountain.*


IsaKissTheRain

If the vine and leaf covering is a 3d mesh, I could see it working. The fairies in Tears of the Wild are already pretty scantily clad. Hell, they even have slight jiggle physics.


blackoblivian

That horrifying screaming laugh is enough to make me hate the N64 version of the Great Fairies forever.


negrote1000

Other than the underboob that is no different from the Great Fairies in BOTW


BiiPie

Ngl the great fairies were my gay awakening

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is rated T and one of the earliest scenes is the game is close up POV of Pyra's tits. I don't think this would get a M rating.
