<br>The most obvious new addition is Link’s hair. This can change depending on certain outfits that are being equipped, particularly those that have our hero donning a mask or regional attire. But here, we see it flowing freely as he soars downward towards Hyrule, new airborne landmasses slowly coming into view as the true nature of this new adventure becomes apparent. We quickly shift back to vanilla Link, with his scruffy blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail so it doesn’t flop about in the w<br><br> <br>His shiny green arm is also fully revealed in all of the new environments, which is more than just a visual addition - it’s seemingly a mechanical one as this limb can allow him to morph through environments and fly through the air at will. I’m not sure the Switch could handle rendering two open worlds at once, so splitting them up makes perfect sense. I hope this is the case, since it would allow Breath of the Wild 2 to explore bold new ideas without technical comprom<br><br>Princess Zelda is busy holding back Calamity Ganon in Hyrule Castle, locked in a state of immortality as she tries her best to save the land from ruin. You can either embark on a journey to recruit allies and reclaim the Divine Beasts or simply dick around for hundreds of hours. Ultimately, it’s up to you, and thus any sense of urgency tied to the plot is lost. Player agency is the most important thing here, so for better or worse, the story takes a backseat until you’re ready to tackle it. A number of main characters like Sidon, Riju, and Purah can be found across the game’s major cities, but they’re mostly passive. They’ll initiate cutscenes and dialogue to push the plot forward once you engage with them, but up to that point, they just sort of exist, rarely influencing the world until you decide to acknowledge they even exist.<br><br>Aside from this, the storytelling in Breath of the Wild is very much what you make of it. If you’ve played the game before, you’ll know that Link has access to a number of cryptic photographs on his Sheikah Slate that represent locations spread across the open world. You are given no map icons or hints as to where these places are, you simply need to look at the images and work things out for yourself. It’s a wondrous journey of discovery, and <a href="https://Adventuregameland.com/posts/hidden-gems-rpgs-that-rocked-after-rough-launches">Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC</a> providing us with nuggets of narrative as opposed to temporary rewards makes seeking them out all the more satisfying. I love this approach, but mostly for what it represents as opposed to how it contributes to the game’s overall pacing.<br><br>It’s heartbreaking, with Zelda’s increased trepidation as she marches towards oblivion reflected in her distrust of Link, an aura of royal pretentiousness that inevitably morphs into fondness over time. Link begins his journey as a knight tasked with watching over the princess, but eventually becomes a close friend she can confide in when everything seems lost. It’s powerful, and the fact something this emotionally resonant is told through the medium of discordant flashbacks is quite an accomplishment.<br><br> <br>In the original Resident Evil 4 storyline, the parasites were found in a particular cave in a mountainous region of Spain, and had been used by Los Iluminados cultists hundreds of years ago to mutate themselves and obtain incredible strength and resilience. This all stopped when the Spanish Inquisition flexed its power and crushed them, leaving successors known as castellans to guard over the cave from their castle, and ensure its clos<br><br> <br>But, assuming that Resident Evil 4 remake is in the works, how should Capcom approach its re-imagining? Well, given that Resident Evil 4 will be the fourth major remake of a mainline Resident Evil game, it stands to be one of the best. The reason for this is that Capcom has already remade the first three Resident Evil games, with each game giving the studio feedback from fans and critics on which elements of the remake did or did not work. Now, based on the reception of each of the Resident Evil remakes, here are the lessons that Capcom should implement in the development of Resident Evil<br><br>Hyrule is no longer a land of the unknown. We’ve explored it for literal days as we talked to citizens, tackled shrines, and eventually saved the world. People know who we are and what we’ve accomplished, so take advantage of that reputation and use it to shape the land in our image. Link shouldn’t be given a voice, but for a narrative set in the here and now to work his identity will need to be cemented in the surrounding landscape. I want to step back into reimagined versions of Zora’s Domain and Kakariko Village and be greeted with open arms by a populace who are happy to see me and perhaps want help with a few local issues as a larger conflict rages on in the background.<br><br> <br>Given that Resident Evil 4 is considered one of the greatest in the series and Capcom has kept the previous two Resident Evil remakes close in storyline to their original counterparts, the possibility of drastically changing the storyline in Resident Evil 4 seems unlikely. It would be much more simple to simply add more layers onto the storyline already in place, by explaining in more detail the Las Plagas' links to Umbrella's Nemesis project, and more background information on Resident Evil 4' s main villain Osmund Saddler and his potential links to Umbre<br>
