I know this mainly focuses on games that were actually released ITTL but I'm curious; Were there any sort of high profile games that were cancelled or re-purposed into a different game? It's on my mind because of the Metroid Prime 4 announcement.
...as an aside, as disappointing as it is hearing the development getting restarted, I'm glad they're giving it to Retro Studio and that Nintendo was up front and honest about it. Wonder if game companies in TTL are that honest at this point in time.

SimSociety or either Thrillseekers game I feel will get the number one pick. I'm pulling for Necrocracy though. Would also be fine with Metroid Darkness.
I'd also like to see a list of the most influential games of this decade. Like how The Covenant changed third person shooters ITTL. Possibly with a bit of foreshadowing of what's big in the 2010s

Chrono Infinite and Chrono Break (yet probably more emphasis on the former) simply because I'm a sucker for 1990s and some early 2000s JRPGs in general if that hasn't been caught already by anyone. SimSociety is a no-brainer, and frankly, so is the original Thrillseekers. Necrocracy, Super Smash Bros. Clash, and Final Fantasy XII all belong up there as well, and I would be partially surprised if the PC game Civilization IV made it up there too.
I'm probably forgetting some other notable titles, maybe a game or two in the Braveheart franchise, and probably Metal Gear War or even Metal Gear Peace. Hot damn, so many good ones to choose from!
All Gerudo are female... that's kind of their point. Only one male is born to the Gerudo every century or so.
If I remember correctly, during a trailer for TTL's Majora's Mask there's a mention that Link wearing the Gerudo Mask looks a bit like Ganondorf, implying that form is still male.
But I could be wrong.
Here's the quote from Player Two Start: More gameplay footage is shown, showing off more of how the various masks can be used. It's much like OTL's game, though a new transformation mask, the Gerudo Mask, allows Link to transform into a Gerudo hero somewhat like Ganondorf, which gives him both speed and strength and allows him to climb to very high areas easily.

I was hoping to have a nice transformation fantasy for once.
Kick
That is a weird fetish dude...NAH.I was hoping to have a nice transformation fantasy for once.
Still that was pre-BOTW, have been post we might have consider he become female(i hate traps..dunno ry) just for the sake..fuck BOTW, my link born as gerudo fanfic is ruined now
I don't know why, but this made me laugh more than it should've.
How did BOTW ruin your fanfic, exactly?
I have a question or two about Super Smash Bros. Clash, specifically the competitive side of things and how the game works itself. Which OTL game does it play most similarly to? I know you guys said that it's not Melee's beautiful accident, and closer to Brawl, but also that it made Evo and kickstarted competitive Smash ITTL, something I just can't see happening if the game plays too much like Brawl. Is it something between Smash 4 and Ultimate, then?
Also, have most of the same people who became the best in the world at Melee (Ken, PC Chris, Korean DJ, Mew2King) still gotten into Clash and done well ITTL? I could see the effects of Chris-chan's school shooting and the subsequent backlash against mental health negatively affecting M2K, because, even though he's never really said if he has a form of mental illness, he acts pretty strangely and people could draw the conclusion that he does (that could either make him even more obsessed with Smash, or pushed out of the community before he got good).

That's correct.
I'm not going to lie, I think Link looks beautiful in his Breath of the Wild Gerudo outfit ^_^
It looks very much like Brawl (since the Wave is close to if not slightly stronger than the OTL Wii in power), but plays like a mix of Brawl and Melee. I think even without wavedashing, it has just enough of Melee's quirks to become a competitive staple (and there's no random tripping).
I think most of those OTL Melee stars would excel at OTL's Clash too, butterflies not withstanding. Those issues might still cause Mew2King to have some issues, but it's up in the air, I think. Obviously a few people who became competitive Melee stars OTL wouldn't become Clash stars ITTL, and vice versa.
Nivek, no offense, but isn't "trap" generally considered a vaguely-offensive term these days? I mean, it's entirely possible you don't know, but...eh.
On a related note, why has the Zelda series never had a gender-select option? Link's whole dialogue is grunts and yells, and it's not like he looks particularly masculine. Plus, of course, each Link is a new incarnation in the series, distinct from their predecessors, so why not? Who's to say the Hero Of Time can't be born as a girl this time around? I mean, granted, it would mean Nintendo would be unable to do that thing from OOT where every single female character has the hots for him, but...Well, actually, it being 2019, they wouldn't NEED to, but you get the point.
Good to know.
One of the misconceptions about competitive Smash, I will say, is that people "on the outside" (there's no other way for me to say that, I don't mean to sound like and asshole) tend to think that wavedashing is needed to make the competitive people happy, but the thing that wavedashing does is it allows people to do any move out of a run--but you can do that same thing in Ultimate nowadays without need for exploits like that. So if there's a way to do that, the game should be just fine.
Will Nintendo be more supportive of their competitive audience ITTL with Sony breathing down their necks?
Also, which version of Link is in Smash? Is it the one from Hero Eternal? Because if so, that'd be really cool.
