abelwingnut posted:oh dear. so...yea, not sure how that'd work then. The overarching story is that Link is the good guy who beats the bad guys, usually Ganon but not always. If you have the stomach for retro games then start at the beginning with The Legend of Zelda otherwise start with whatever is most easily available, I'd suggest Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time.

The story is Skyward Sword was when they decided "We're just gonna steal Castlevania's origin story." And every Zelda after that is basically the same, minus the origin story part that they threw in at the very end. Except sometimes he's a cartoon. And sometimes he's a little boy. And sometimes he's a 14-year-old. Zelda grows and learns before our very eyes!

I liked the open world Barbarian Thief Hyrule: Criminal of Time, the one where after your smash pots and steal rupees you murder the shopkeep and take their cash. So fun trampling koroks into paste with Epona and using the boomerang to decapitate all the deku guards that chase you at five carrots. Hook shot heart removal fatality owns too.

flavor.flv posted:Skyward Sword is my favourite Zelda game and the original wii release is the definitive version See what I like about people, and in all honesty, is there someone for everything. It's nice that Skyward Sword is a game some people adore. That's important. Not my favorite by any stretch of the imagination but it does some cool things. I really liked the dungeon layouts. I really was underwhelmed by the attempt at "fancy" combat, which means you're just waiting for the right moment to swing in the right direction. It's not a fair comparison, but the best combat in games for me comes from Souls and Souls-likes. Reasonably not wanting to make games that hard, Zelda combat just feels time-consuming. Aside from the 2D games, the best 3D combat came from the 64 games, where it's just swing a bunch of times or from Windwaker which added special moves that serve no purpose aside from looking cool.

When did society do a 180 on Twilight Princess? I felt like I was crazy when it was released because it was so souless and stale, but everyone everywhere seemed to think it was the greatest game of all time.

Bug Squash posted:When did society do a 180 on Twilight Princess? I felt like I was crazy when it was released because it was so souless and stale, but everyone everywhere seemed to think it was the greatest game of all time. I know I've heard it described more eloquently, but I think with any big franchise, the majority doesn't really engage with it online, and so the minority of people who do end up writing a new narrative that goes against the mainstream. Majora's Mask: initially controversial for the time mechanic/sidequests over dungeons, now it's much more popular and people like it over OOT. Twilight Princess: well regarded at release, now you see lots of people say it's too safe, graphics ugly, etc. Breath of the Wild: Praised as one of the greatest games of all time, and 10/10, now people are more willing to argue about durability, dungeons, so on. I don't think (most) people are trying to be intentionally provocative (I personally do think TP really is super ugly) I just think it's a natural effect of internet discussions.

Do we count Hyrule Warriors and Cadence of Hyrule? If we do then there's maybe five? Six? If not then three.

I enjoyed TP enough to beat it twice, once on Wii and once on HD. It's not a perfect game, and it's admittedly pretty ugly, but I think it's got the best combat and "partner" in the series, and some pretty fun dungeons.

Not really. If you fully explore the plateau it takes probably 2 hours but if you b-line the shrines you’re out of there in 30 minutes. Maybe you should try sucking less.
