Eiji Aonuma officially received his order of Arts and Letters at the rank of Knight, from the hands of the french Minister of Culture (order which was initially awarded to him in 2023 by the french government).

Minister of Culture said that "[Eiji Aonuma] is a true craftsman, a storyteller who always leaves room for the player's imagination."

She thanked him for "proving to dreamy children that, with just pencils and building blocks, you can inspire the whole world to dream."

Aonuma kept his last words in french for his wife, that accompanied him for this event and was present in the room.

"Thank you for joining me on this journey so far. Let's continue this adventure together."

Congratulations for him! 👏

Clip [WW] Is this a bug? I somehow got two Pieces of Heart from the Outset Island pig digging in the soil.

375 Upvotes

Using a Japanese Nintendo account, I've been replaying The Wind Waker on the Japanese version so I could experience for the first time the notable item placement changes between it and the English version.

When I went for the Piece of Heart on Outset Island gotten by having the big pig dig in the black soil, something weird happened. I had the pig dig the Piece of Heart out of one soil patch. Then without collecting the Piece of Heart first, I had the pig dig in the other soil patch, and to my surprise I got another Piece of Heart! They both counted as two separate Pieces, as well, as proven by the numbers in their respective text boxes when I picked them up.

Is this a known bug? Is it exclusive to the Japanese version or can it happen on other versions? I've never seen mention of this online before, and I've never experienced it on the English version, though I can't recall if I ever tried digging in both soil patches before picking up the Piece of Heart until now.

I have always thought the map of Hyrule Field looks like a face, but I have never seen this talked about elsewhere. Slide for an illustration of what parts I think looks like a face.

Some more sketches from some alternate Zelda universe. I’m imagining Majora comes back for revenge and creates some sort of illusory or alternate reality where characters, places and enemies are all slightly changed or mixed with others. More to come, these are pretty fun to make

Let me know if you have any fun ideas or something you’ve always kinda wanted to see in Zelda, maybe I’ll draw it!

Screenshot [TP] I Made Custom Ordon/Hylian Shield Textures for Dusklight Using TPDE+ Textures as a Base

Thumbnail

32 Upvotes

I have been having a blast the last couple months playing Twilight Princess (favorite game of all time) using Dusklight on my PC. On top of completing the game 100% for the first time and doing randomizer runs, I have been experimenting with mods and texture packs.

After downloading an ALTTP Master Sword texture and discovering I could wear the magic armor around cosmetically, I didn't like how the Hylian Shield's colors clashed with the setup. So I decided to figure out if I could go into the texture files for the texture pack I was using (TP Definitive Edition+), and modify the textures. (Disclaimer: I am not distributing these textures due to them being TPDE+ textures).

Soon enough I found out GIMP would let me open and edit the .dds files I found within the texture pack's files, and so I made these variants of the Hylian Shield and Ordon Shield! And I'm super stoked about them and wanted to show them off.

If you would have showed this to me as a 8 year old kid playing Twilight Princess on the Wii, he would have pissed himself lol.

Clip [WW] Been replaying the game. Today I learned that Darknuts can actually destroy pillars with their weapon-less kick attacks.

I've played this game many times and have never seen this before! It only happened by the sheer coincidence of the Darknut attacking me when both us were near the pillar.

Who knew they were that strong even without a giant weapon in hand?
