Heaven save these beautiful boys.

You're great, Austin! Go do more greatness.

If that last segment proved anything, it's that we need more ethics in the human species.

I'm a bit worried to hear Brad and Vinny's concerns with the stamina meter. One of the specific frustrations I had with regard to Skyward Sword's control design was how limited the sprint felt, and that game's environments were far more closed than they're implying here.

Otherwise, I hope the durability system is fleshed out in the release. It won't feel good or interesting to just run through your three best weapons every time you fight a boss. SS actually did good work with that in the early game. There were a few instances in which I decided to abandon blocking because I was worried about shield damage, but you also had to eat several hits to get to that point. Disposable shields lessen that consideration.

@homelessbird: This is very well-phrased!

So, my thoughts on the 3D Zeldas (i.e. the generally inferior Zeldas):

1. Majora's Mask
2. Wind Waker
3. Twilight Princess
4. Ocarina of Time
5. Skyward Sword

Tending to prize the overworld and characters more perhaps than the typical fan, but I do think that TP has consistently terrific dungeon design.

It's getting harder and harder for me to push through games with a flat/uninvested narrative. Thanks for talking this through so thoroughly, y'all!
