Oh my god, you're so good at the wall jump that you got out of the boss room without it forcing you to find out how to learn the space jump! XD I never realised how unbalanced the wall jump ability is...!! Do most people play it this way...??
And now you've noticed one of the things that disappoints me about Maridia -- after you beat the boss, all the doors unlock.... which is KIND of the idea all throughout the game, but, here they break with their tradition of giving you some new means of opening them,and instead just..... literally unlock them! It's functionally the same, but... a little too transparent? It worked in the Wrecked Ship because you were ostensibly restoring power to those doors, but.... here it just feels like a video game artificially gating your progress, instead of the identical-but-satisfying "hey I've found my own way forward, huzzah!" I only mind because they've done such a good job with it throughout the game, but then they just.... stop trying partway through?? It's odd!
"ALANNNN!" XD Oh godddd, davidddd XD
"a spoon and a lazer", MORE HEADCANON
OH MAN, YOU FINALLY GET IT, BUT IT'S AFTER YOU CAN EVEN USE IT! Hahah, oh well X3
OMG, you nearly pulled off getting the speedboostybird out! Not that it does anything at all (he just runs back and forth confused) because the programmers clearly didn't INTEND for him to get out, but.... it's still fun to do (https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAABAAD4UV51K9yW4Q) for the hell of it :D
"forgot I could fly" XD
aaaaaa david things I want to say but aaaaa
Afraid of slugs! I was wondering why you had that reaction to the SLOWEST ENEMY IN THE GAME, the first time :)
"this isn't going to go well when that dialogue box disappears" XD;;; You're Wile E Coyote with a placard :)
surprise samus XD;;
So, wait, who told you to look around the statue? There's nothing around the statue.... unless they just said that as a way to drag you back through the game to find other secrets?
Regardless, I don't know why you'd say this one was dull -- it's great watching you finally find secrets that you've been running past :D Running around the game with super powers is the most satisfying part! (Unless you just meant it was dull to edit it, which I guess I could see!)
