Zelda's New Haircut Is More Than A Fashion Statement, It's A Sign Of Growth

Another Jedi who runs afoul of Darth Vader during his quest to hunt down the survivors is Jocasta Nu. The librarian of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant is first seen in Attack Of The Clones . In the Darth Vader series from Marvel Comics, fans discover that she survived Order 66 and is on the

Grogu steals just about every scene he's in , but as cute and funny as Grogu is, he has a tragic past. Grogu was a Jedi padawan at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant at the time of Order 66. Someone - it remains a mystery who - saved him and whisked him away to safety as Anakin Skywalker led a bloody rampage through the sacred tem

It helps that Spiritfarer is an excellent title in its own right and serves as one of the better indie titles anyone can try out. The art style, gameplay, and story all elicit the same feeling as a Studio Ghibli title in the best way possi

Princess Zelda is sporting a new haircut in Breath of the Wild 2 , which seemingly isn’t a subtle hint that she’ll end up as a playable heroine in the upcoming sequel. Instead, it’s a new look for a main character who has saved her kingdom, witnessed the loss of countless loved ones, and managed to survive and continue with a life she’s afraid isn’t deserved.

As Nintendo stuck very close to the original game's blueprint, this is, ultimately, still the same Super Mario RPG that has been around for decades. It looks better and comes with a few quality-of-life adjustments, but the campaign does not have much in the way of new content. Consequently, players who have completed the original version and do not feel like revisiting it might want to hold off on picking up the remake. However, this also means that Super Mario RPG has all the same positives as its ancestor, including frequently hilarious dialogue and a world that is fun to explore. While generally the same, the combat is also improved thanks to the addition of a new special combo me

Final Fantasy 9 ’s Princess Garnet is the closest comparison to Zelda in the gaming world, largely because their circumstances, personality, and overall drive are so similar. Garnet takes a dagger to her hair at a pivotal point in her character arc. Her kingdom is approaching ruin and her mother is gone, so this moment is a reclamation of agency that has long been kept away from her. Gone is the received pronunciation and royal procedures that have long held her back from living a normal, fulfilling life. Travelling with Zidane and company has taught her the importance of this heritage while simultaneously inspiring her to walk away from it. However, blood remains thicker than water, so returning to the city that helped shape her only to solemnly leave it behind is poetic.

RE3 was originally designed as a spin-off , side-story, so it was never meant to be that big of a game. And despite Code Veronica not being a numbered title, it was given much more detail than RE3 . And as previously stated, Code Veronica appears more like a sequel to RE2 than the most recent remake. Simply put, RE fans deserve a bigger survival horror title to stink their teeth into and a Code Veronica remake would be the right cho

Splatoon 2 and 3 are both among the best multiplayer experiences on the Nintendo Switch , but the latter's healthy fanbase gives it the nod over its precursor. In comparison to its predecessor, which earned criticism for sticking too close to the first game's formula, Splatoon 3 offers a more substantial upgrade on what came bef

Garnering universal praise when it debuted, Super Mario Maker 2 faded into the backdrop oddly quickly. Perhaps the game just did not feel different enough from the first entry to have staying power, at least in terms of attracting mainstream attent

The concept of a controller is one that Nintendo challenges. As the world settles in on one way of charging their controllers or button hidden locations Guide, Nintendo questions why catching a fish with a rod and reel shouldn't feel the same

However, the next rumored remake in the RE series is Resident Evil 4 , speculated to be released sometime in 2022. The events of RE4 takes place a whole six years after RE2 . If the RE4 remake releases before a Code Veronica remake then chronological order obviously isn't that important to Capcom. However, even if Capcom doesn't maintain chronological order, there is still a chance Code Veronica will be updated for next gen consoles. The drive to maintain chronological order would just mean the remake of Code Veronica could see an earlier release than expec

No matter what happens, it remains important to consider the symbolism behind Zelda’s appearance, and how her luscious new hairstyle could be a sign of change for her character that allows her to abandon the shackles of royalty and strive for independence beyond grief and trauma. It’s a powerful message of perseverance for a woman who deserves agency, even more so when you consider the classics that inspired her and how female characters in the world of gaming are finally earning a similar level of respect to their male counterparts.
