I'm a GENERAL, not some opera floozy!
Nice work!

I really love Zelda 1. I used to play it every day before school, I must have got up pretty loving early because I remember being able to play it all the way through.

link's awakening

pros:
- really good difficulty curve and progression
- the most ownage bosses, inside some of the most ownage dungeons
- pick up rupees and items by touching them with the sword
- has mario, peach, shy guys, and use chain chomp as an allied partner
- some of the most powerful glitches in gaming for insane added replay value

cons:
- the best version is only in black and white

also you can jump, and then jump on goombas

there's no way that poo poo is official

and Zelda II is insanely harder than any other Zelda game because sidescrolling action games were always really clunky.

wait actually it's really easy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNla206Qgg0

i think i love zelda games almost as much for how incredibly broken they are as i do for the games themselves

have you guys seen the poo poo OoT speedrunners do these days? i mean goddamn, it's like a completely different game at this point

God drat Ages and Seasons were so good. I beat them 4 times because I wanted to use the save transfer mechanic in both directions. gently caress, I think I need to find a GBC and those carts and play that poo poo again. Maybe I still even have them? Gameboy carts are really good at just disappearing into your house forever. After 6 moves I just had my old pokemon yellow appear out of nowhere on my desk.

I still don't understand the desire for things to have continuity just because they're a "series". I think it's more fun to interpret "the legend of zelda" as an actual legend. As in, each "epoch" of games is the same story being told but in a different way, as though this legend is being retold over and over and changing every time. I think that's less dumb than "there are literally 100s of tights wearing dudes in green shirts throughout history that save 100s of some blonde princess in a funny hat from 100s of some gangrenous desert guy."
