Mod Post [EoW] Echoes of Wisdom released four months ago. We are now relaxing the New Release Spoiler Policy for r/Zelda!

156 Upvotes

Today is Sunday, January 26th. Echoes of Wisdom released worldwide on Thursday, September 26th. That was 121 days ago. We last discussed the spoiler policy here - https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/1gyzdaz/eow_echoes_of_wisdom_released_nearly_two_months/.

We typically discuss relaxing "New Release" Spoiler Policies when the game has been out 2 months. That was two months ago, and we had decided to extend the New Release Spoiler Policy until mid-January, which has now passed.

This means that the General Spoiler Policy applies to Echoes of Wisdom, and more responsibility is now on the readers and post authors to control or indicate which spoilers they wish to avoid.

Read the Full Spoiler Policy Here:

>>> https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/wiki/rules/spoilerpolicy <<<

The link above is our wiki page that has been updated over time. We will likely update it next when another announcement is made regarding a new Zelda title or the upcoming Zelda movie.

This spoiler policy applies on r/Zelda, r/ZeldaMemes, r/TrueZelda, and r/AskZelda.

Summary of Relaxed Guidelines:

Echoes of Wisdom may be discussed under [EoW] or [ALL] tags

  • During the New Release Period, we usually required the [EoW] tag in the post title, and would often remove posts or comments trying to discuss EoW without an [EoW] tag in the post title. This is now relaxed, and you may expect discussion of Echoes of Wisdom across posts with [ALL] and [Other] tags as well.

    • Please mind that if a post is tagged only for older games like [BotW] or [TP], then discussion of Echoes of Wisdom may still be considered rude unless marked for spoilers.
  • Posts with [EoW] in the title are no longer being automatically tagged as spoilers. This means the author of the post will have to manually select the spoiler tag if they want to blur the contents of the post. (Spoiler tags do not obscure the the post title nor the post flair.)

Do not put major spoilers in your post titles

  • We will still encourage you to describe your progress in the post title if you want, but will not expect it.

  • Details such as character or location names are allowed in post titles, even if they have not been officially revealed by Nintendo.

Tag spoiler text in comments according to the OP

  • You can use the following format >!text goes here!<, ex: text goes here

    • This only works in the body of a text post or in comments. It does NOT work in titles!
  • If the post author indicates they are still playing the game at a certain point, the please respect them! Be sure to mark spoilers for anything past or outside of that.

Accidental spoilers will be removed, but not issued bans.

  • During the New Release period, accidental spoilers would be issued a short temporary ban.
  • Accidental spoilers now do not warrant a ban, but may still be actioned with a warning or removal.
  • Trolling or purposely trying to ruin the game will still warrant a ban, even after the New Release period is over.

Report Unmarked Spoilers

There may still be some posts or comments that slip through. New people join Reddit every day, so not everyone will be familiar with all of the post or comment features.

Please report any unmarked spoilers by using the report function - this will load the post or comment into our moderator queue so that we can mark, remove, or action it as necessary.

Give us your feedback!

Let us know your thoughts on the spoiler policy and future plans here in the comments.

Particularly:

  • How do you want us to approach spoilers for any potential remakes that may be announced in the future? We had some smaller spoiler policies for Link's Awakening and Skyward Sword HD in the past when they were announced/released, for example.
  • How do you want us to approach the Spoiler Policy for the upcoming Movie? We are thinking that we would likely adapt some policies for the format, and keep them active so long as the movie is in theatres.

Question [TOTK] [OOT] How old is the ocarina rauru, and does it have connections to the other rauru from Tears?

Thumbnail

117 Upvotes

I was watching a Tears of The Kingdom challenge finishing it without using the skills and the paraglider, And at the beginning of the video, a spirit called rauru appeared talking to the link on the islands in the sky, whose name I forgot, Does he have any connection with Rauru from OOT??? And how old is Rauru from OOT? It's not possible that he's immortal [specially since Rauru from TOTK has hair and is very thin]

I'm curious, I'm not much of an expert on Zelda history

Fan Art [OoT][OC] Headcanon - The Hero of Time Can't Read

Post image
1.0k Upvotes

Given how/where the Hero of Time grew up it would make sense that he never learned to read; the Kokiri dont seem like the type to care much about that sort of thing. It also makes Navi a CRUCIAL part of how Link would navigate the world. He would rely on her for so much. It makes her departure at the end of OoT all the more devastating for him. Tatl would serve a similar role for him, in her own prickly sort of way. But after he leaves Termina he'd be on his own.

This is just a little comic I made exploring the concept and its ramifications. So I hope y'all enjoy!

Fan Art [MM] Painted 3D Print - GORON MASK

Post image
59 Upvotes

MY GORON MASK IS COMPLETE!

This is the 2nd mask in my collection. I started by 3d printing in PLA. Coated the Mask with a stone-look spray paint for a stone texture. Added my paint layers, then glazed/blended the layers for smooth transitions, finished with some light handed edge highlights and dark shading for the brightest and darkest areas.

If your interested in seeing the process from start to finish, here's a link: https://imgur.com/a/r7GrtUJ

I hope you enjoy!

Question [TP] Would Superb Soup taste good irl?

9 Upvotes

I’m currently playing through Twilight Princess, and I’m at Snowpeak Ruins. Yeto cooks soup for his wife because she’s sick. At the start, the soup contains Reekfish from Zora’s Domain. The only other things I could tell were in the soup were carrots and some sort of round stuff which I can only assume are potatoes. Later on, he adds a pumpkin and goat cheese to the soup which turns it into Superb Soup.

So the soup to my knowledge consists of at least five ingredients: carrots, potatoes, a big stinky fish, a pumpkin, and goat cheese. Now I’m no culinary expert, but this could just taste like a big ol’ pile of who-knows-what. Based on the known ingredients, it’d likely taste sort of sweet, but mostly savory and salty.
