i also gave up wind waker earlier this year, due to i) annoying bugs like not recognising that i have the right kind of arrow to get to a particular island ii) annoyance at the whole pirate girl is zelda, is a girl, therefore is useless at everything bit. what with her saving yr ass several times before she turns out to be zelda. (which also = oh, didn't see that coming.)

Mind you I didn't see the identity of Zelda coming, they did quite a nice fake with the little rich girl there.

Proceed to have Link beat the crap out of Zelda: "send ME all around Hyrule slaying monsters because you're always getting kidnapped and locked in dungeons! I'll show YOU who the beeyatch is!" *smack kick bash slash etc etc*
Oh, we did laugh.

replayed the first three zeldas this weekend and link to the past is apparently ingrained in my muscle memory now!? total cliche to bemoan remembering where all the keys in the misery mire are but then not remember w/e relevant to yr actual life but, still, true. kind of robbed the game of any feeling of real accomplishment like a doing a crossword puzzle with the answer key in front of you.
zelda 2 rpg elements are clever w/o being too much of a concession to what is a challenging action game. pretty genious level design too.

I'm playing through Zelda on the wii. Excellent game so far and I'm a little more than halfway through.The epicness of flute boy on the classic SNES zelda game has yet to be recreated. I was like damn, the poor kid turned to stone and is doomed to forever be stone. They don't make those kind of subplots anymore. I will always say SNES version is the best Zelda release but the Wii version is definitely worth checking out. It trumps the gamecube and n64 links imo. Well, it barely beats Ocarina of Time and I never played Majora's Mask, but the boss battles are much more fun now.

So I got a DS lately, included phantom hourglass and i thought i'd opt for Minish Cap which i never played.
PH isn't great, has some nice ideas but the stylus to control the movement isn't doing it for me - especially if i want to move top left and so my hand obscures the screen!
MC on the other hand is a thing of beauty, my fave zelda has always been link to the past. how did i miss this one.
― Ant Attack.. (Ste), Saturday, 21 March 2009 14:59 (fifteen years ago) link
Minish Cap is indeed awesome, and it broke my heart. I bought it at a Shanghai bootleg street market for like 3 dollars. I got pretty deep into the game, maybe 10 hours or so, and then it erased my saved game. I'm the kind of person who needs a 4-5 year cooling off period with a game after something like that happens, so I'm on schedule to purchase a legit copy of Minish Cap and play it again around 2010-11.
Agreed with Phantom Hourglass. It was pleasant enough, but not close to Link of the Past style gameplay.

link to the past rules - o.g. zelda is super mystical ultimately
― ice cr?m, Saturday, 21 March 2009 15:08 (fifteen years ago) link
minish cap is so great
I think phantom hourglass would have been equally great, were dpad control allowed :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Zelda is the only reason, I bought a DS. I wish I could buy a wii so I could play Zelda on it, but I don't have a television.
― Jacob Sanders, Saturday, 22 August 2009 19:12 (fourteen years ago) link
I actually really liked Phantom Hourglass - by the end, I was disappointed there wasn't more. Stylus input was weird, but I got used to it pretty quickly, and I liked the natural mapping/course sailing. That dungeon you had to keep revisiting was a wonderful idea, I hope they expand on it in the sequel.

infinitely more excited for Link's Awakening on 3DS than Skyward Sword

Well yeah, 6% excited is technically infinitely more than 0% excited, so me too I guess.

no it's 6% more, not infinitely! :/ MATHPEDANTED

when I'm president I'm going to make a law that goes as follows: all games shipped will be the legend of zelda: ocarina of time. what this means in practice: you and your game development company can work on your game for as long as you want, spend as much money as you want on it, draw those polygons and texture maps real fucking good. but when you send it to the game factory that presses the DVDs, the factory will instead press the legend of zelda: ocarina of time onto your DVD and that will ship to the store. vote for me 2016.

is skyward sword worthwhile? have been told that it has some of the best dungeons of any zelda game, but have also been told it doesn't match up to the other 3d ones in general
― ciderpress, Friday, 24 August 2012 18:52 (eleven years ago) link
fwiw my favorite zelda games are link's awakening and majora's mask so i'm not necessarily looking for the same things out of a zelda game that all the LTTP&ocarina4ever people are

Everyone familiar with Link to the Past should really give this a shot. It's loads of fun!
vt.alttp.run/randomizer
Basically, they've developed a way to generate roms (seeds) that randomly redistribute all of the progression items, and you have to figure out where to go based on what you have to work with. Having a complete knowledge of all chest and non-chest significant item locations is key to beating the seed. They also randomize the crystals and pendants, changing the order of the dungeons leading up to Ganon's tower. It's exciting to open mundane chests in Kakariko village with the possibility that you'll find the mirror or the hammer etc. There's a tournament right now in the community around these randomizers where people race the same seed and both have to figure out their route as they go. Gets pretty intense.
