They are actually the less reliable when they make safe average movies, that's the moment they release their Lightyear's and Raya's

And are the their best when they subvert expectations and/or create movies based on entirely brand new concepts like Inside Out, Frozen and Wall-E

Which is why I think is a terrible idea to even consider Disney (not that anybody here suggested Disney anyway), they are only good when they let the creators make the movies they want

I can't speak for Frozen because I haven't seen it, though I've heard not good things about it. Honestly I can only think of one Disney computer animation I really liked and that's a 15 year old movie. Pixar at their best is phenomenal, yeah. But Inside Out is their latest truly great movie and that's 8 years old. Their most recent that I thought was really good, though already below their highest heights was Coco and that's 6 years ago. And going even wider with this, most properties that belong to Disney as a whole have been declining in quality for a while now.

I get what you said about DreamWorks being hit or miss, but honestly, while they do have many crap movies, I get the feeling that most of them are specifically aimed at very young children. Not sure that makes sense? Like, I can't remember a DreamWorks movie that looked interesting in trailer or promotional material that then turned out to be a bad or disappointing movie. All their crap movies are ones that from the first glance you already go "ew wtf". So I would trust them with Zelda because that'd be one of the movies they care about getting right, probably. They've done good with licensed franchises in the past, too.

And ultimately yeah I agree Ghibli would be the best choice. Like really there's no doubt about that. Zelda has been influenced by Ghibli movies, you can feel a lot of Miyazaki's influence when playing certain Zelda games. The simple truth though, is it won't be Ghibli. Nintendo's partnering with Universal for these, and that specific partnership basically means Illumination or DreamWorks. And between those two there's an obvious choice.

I wonder how much I screwed up the Yiga quest line already, defeated Khoga twice so far. Does the Josha quest line have something to do with the arenas with 'mounts' on them that don't seem to do anything? I melted the ice blocks on one, blew the sand hills apart on another, haven't got a clue what to do with the one that has big rocks that look like gloom rocks. I tried all elements and bombs, hitting them with a boulder hammer, no effect. The others didn't reveal anything either so must be for some quest. I also found a couple hard to reach places that look like they are important but are empty. And a message from one of the yiga camps that basically says, need to go up top to get in. It does feel like exploring the stage before the show starts...

But yes, I need to do the shrines at some point. This little stamina bar, single battery cell and 4 hearts is making progress slower than it needs to be. In a sense it is also liberating, no use for food, no sense bothering with machines and climbing is slow enough you don't really want more stamina to climb further. But I see that's all needed to get to the outlying sky islands. I guess TotK will be the only game I play for the rest of the year, this is gonna take forever haha.

On to then next light root.

Ah I see Josha is the photographer quest I entered the depths with. Still have to go back to Lookout landing for that (once I make my way around lol)

Raya and The Last Dragon is a masterpiece. It's Lightyear that was a dud. *shoots Lightyear Zurg through the head, and does the same to Myrtle from Lilo and Stitch* Her parents should have used protection.

Anyway, is it true that in Tears of The Kingdom took Link's house in Hateno Village?

I was messing around with Bing chat lately, so I wanted to try how it creates images (via Dall-E) - I'm very new to this, and while I know to make solid pictures of scenery I need for tabletop RPG adventures, I don't know how to pull off anything that has actual humanoids in picture to look good - yet I had to try. Only 2 I was satisfied with, though they are full of errors:

I dunno, haven't unlocked the Links house yet. Feeling less inclined to have one, now that we can pretty much build our strong weapons with materials Links Home lose its appeal as weapons storehouse 

Ah. Because a lot of people are going around saying Zelda stole Link's house, not even crediting Link with financing and getting materials for the house's restoration.

I ran into a White Lynel last night in the Depths, avoid. Giant resource drain at my starter gear / stage / 4 heart exploration trek lol. It takes 20 bombs just to break its shield, 6 dmg boulder hammer doesn't move the bar either. They are quite dumb though, can just keep shooting bombs at it from above or confuse it with puff shrooms. (But it will wildly lash out anyway) It did finally notice me when I aborted the mission, just about to reload to get my stuff back, and started shooting arrow folleys at me. I hid under an overhang in a pipe kind of thing which stopped most arrows but one still glitched through the ceiling and insta killed me lol.

Bows, bombs and puff shrooms back, mark the location for later or never. I guess the things they drop are for some recipe at the fairy fountains which I'll get to in a couple months haha. Still at 35% ish Depths explored. On my way to the NW corner.

Yeah, best to get lots of arrows, Bomb Flowers, food, etc. before taking on Lynels or Gleeocks.

There's precisely one Lynel in game you'll meet you have to tackle... and you already have the tool to easily deal with it. ;)
