FactsAreUseless posted:The very first bit of gameplay is a combination forced stealth and escort mission. A ton of zeldas have forced stealth sections IMO, give spirit tracks a shot. It is very divisive, but I loved it. It has one of my favorite zelda soundtracks, it has excellent dungeons, excellent items and item usage, awesome bosses, all that good stuff. The overworld is a slog, but I think it is worth it to go through the overworld stuff especially since at least you get to listen to one of the best overworld songs in the zelda series. Also, the pan flute stuff is either gonna be awful or just fine. It was fine for me, no problems whatsoever, other people have an awful time with it tho. I've heard that a good tip for people who have trouble with the mic stuff is to just rub your finger across the mic instead of trying to blow into it. Also, the writing in Spirit Tracks is great. It's great having a Zelda adventure with Zelda along for the ride as Link's helper character

In Training posted:I think I'm gonna replay Phantom Hourglass soon, I haven't played it since release but I absolutely loved it If you like phantom hourglass, you should absolutely try spirit tracks out. The overworld is bad and some people are bad at the flute (don't play it in public) but the dungeons are waaay better

Another thing that helped me get through the overworld bits was the skull train. I unlocked the skull engine as early as I possibly could and never went to another engine because the skull engine changes your whistle into a spooky autotuned thing like those halloween "OOOOOOOooooooooooOOOOOOOOooooo" ghost things, and unlike the regular whistle, the tone changes depending on how far you pull it so you can try playing along to the music or just having fun tooting along with your spooky skull train

Like, to the point that Ocarina of time is almost a re-make for the structural similarities. It's also one of the ones where Link is a shmuck who was born without a Triforce of Courage in him, like Wind Waker, which means he goes through a small gauntlet of weird poo poo to get the Master Sword to obey him and whatnot. A lot of that is kind of abstracted due it being a less cinematic format of game. The argument about the dungeons is pretty valid. You see this a bit in Link Between Worlds, too. There's more of an emphasis on creating a challenging obstacle course for the player than there is on establishing a sense of place. The 3D games are much better at making the dungeons seem like an actual location, rather than just a vehicle for sliding block puzzles. Even for dungeons that are supposed to be a functioning place, like the Thieves' Den, they still have all the trappings of being a level in that video game, as opposed to like an actually functional subterranean fortress.

I played the gba remake, I don't think there are any substantial differences other than graphics but I thought the gba version was pretty fun except for the boss against the giant worm thing where if you get pushed off the edge you have to climb back up and its health has regenerated, that was annoying and bullshit >:[ it did have lot of cool bosses though to counter that one annoying one. I'd absolutely LOVE to be able to play as Blind in a Hyrule Warriors game. Definitely my favorite boss in LttP.       http://i.imgur.com/kYQGhPw.webm

The part that bothered me was that I couldn't access the 4 swords content because I didn't have anybody with a link cable to play with >:[ What's everybody's favorite Link to the Past boss I expect a lot of people to mention trinexx or helmasaur king. Link to the past had a bunch of bosses that were just variations on "Giant Eyeball," though the zelda series in general tends to use "Giant Eyeball" as shorthand for weakpoint, to the point that the majora's mask remake added giant eyeballs to the bosses, for better or for worse

It's thematically cool because the Majora bosses are all supposed to be docile creatures messed up by corruption but it really screws with the Ghot fight in particular, which used to be my favorite boss in the game

I never got around to playing the remake but was always wary about them loving with the bosses. That it was kinda vague was part of what I liked about that game's bosses.

Phantasium posted:I like the octopus covered in eyeballs. Every boss now has a big googly eye ball that looks like the one on 2nd form Majora, and it's the only way to damage them. It works like attacking them how you would in the original for the most part until they get stunned and then the eyeball pops out and you have to wail on it to actually hurt them. The reason it fucks with the Ghot fight is because you can't reach the eyeball and have to shoot with arrows, so instead of the fight being this intense weird death race thing against a truck that can shoot lasers and drop bombs, it's that but every 30 seconds you have to stop, transform, plink some arrows and then reset the whole encounter basically.

There's thing I like about the 3D remake but enough changes that rub me the wrong way that in the future I'll probably just always play the original again instead. They made some odd decisions for that game

I rented okami and got to what I thought was the final boss. Then I found out the game was only like halfway over so I decided "nah I'm good" and returned it. Real long game.

I didn't realize they hosed with the bosses until I fought Gyorg who was a joke in the original release. His new version has an extremely annoying second phase that requires you to cut a bomb free while he's trying to suck you in, so that the bomb will get sucked in and make his eye pop out. It sounds simple on paper, but its really hard to get the positioning right so that you won't get sucked in before the bomb. It took me so long I had less than a minute left on the timer when I got out of the temple  I'm surprised I didn't notice that Ghot was changed, I used to redo that boss fight for fun on the original release.

The only Zelda I've ever played was Wind Waker, and I really liked it. But like, my roommate started playing it it, and he played like, way more than me and blew past me and was like 100% the game or some bullshit and somehow it just killed my interest in it. Like it's a weird shallow personality flaw that I have, where where, if I am excited about something, and someone else get's way more excited, I lose interest in discovering it myself.
