Decided I won't get Zelda until I beat Pokemans, and I won't get Mario until I beat Wind Waker.

Pretty close to beating both of them, but still. Might be a week or two.

I am hopeful that getting all the items at once means the puzzles and bosses are much more interesting? I feel like the item progression is a big loss and I don't trust Nintendo to make up for it.

Post by: TakingBackSunday on November 22, 2013, 10:06:59 AM
In the hour I played, I was shocked at how fast the game felt.  Not like, speedy in terms of progression, but its just a slick, fast-running game.  Very cool, can't wait to play more after work.

Can't trust Wrath cause he's a Zelda special fellow and can't trust BrandNew cause he's a general Nthing. I need like, Drinky or Creepy Old Guy to play the game and tell me if it's actually good.

Yeah, that mirrors how I feel about the games more or less.  Zelda64/Majora, haven't played in 15 years so no real opinions on them other than liked them at the time.  Have the 3DS Zelda 64 but not sure if I want to replay it and maybe discover the game isn't that good.

Looking forward to your thoughts on this new one.

I replayed OoT 3D and it is just as good as I remembered it. MM I haven't played since it came out but I liked it a lot. I remember being disappointed at the small number of dungeons.

i honestly don't understand what people see in zelda game,the combat is easy and the puzzles are so paint-by-the-number that is sort of hard to call them puzzle in the first place,i enjoy them and have finished several but i would never buy a 3DS for one,also i absolutely hate that overworld theme they keep putting in every zelda game :yuck

and i want to make this clear,i'm not trying to get on anybody nerve or anything... that is a good honest serious question

oh by the way my favourite would be LA simply because ol gb nintendo games are :heart

You understand this logic.

It's like when you log into an unsecured wi-fi network here, and the welcome page is a set of instructions about how to force your phone to log off and forget the network.

Cutscenes are few and far between.  Dialogue is cutesy ala Minish Cap, probably a bit briefer.  Handholding is pretty much nonexistent after the first ten minutes.

Game definitely looks damn good.  Wish more 3DS (any 3DS) games would focus on 60fps because it looks fantastic on the machine.  If Pokemon had looked like this I'd like it more!
Title: Re: A NEW ZELDA for the 3ds
Post by: Bebpo on November 23, 2013, 03:06:19 PM
Holy shit this game is 60 fps? Interest rising.

Yeah, even with 3d on.  Which is a first for the machine I think.  The top down view allows minimal objects rendered at once.  Was a smart decision.

Beat the Wind Palace or whatever, and this game is good as fuck. Only negative I have so far is that the game mostly rewards you with rupees for doing all the little side puzzles, but I don't need any more rupees. I've got nearly 2k rupees, the most expensive thing I had to buy was 200.
Title: Re: A NEW ZELDA for the 3ds
Post by: Eric P on November 23, 2013, 08:24:03 PM
Yeah money seems wildly out of sync.  My only guess is that they wanted to provide a cushion for people who die a lot in the game and need to re-rent equipment.  I walked out of the first dungeon with nearly 1k rupees

I think this may be my GOTY.
Game looks slick in motion and with full 3D on.  It's one of the few (maybe the only) 3DS games that I leave the 3D on all the way up the whole time I'm playing.

They're 1200 rupees if you want to own them, i.e. not have to re-rent them after you die.

I wouldn't say it's better than Ocarina. 3D Zelda > 2D Zelda for me but I would say I put it over Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword and Wind Waker(and I love those three Zelda games). It's the best 2D one by a long shot IMO.

LTTP is almost as overrated as FF6, almost.
Hey man, the PSX FFs are the overrated ones. :P

FFVII, by virtue of practically everyone on the internet classifying it as overrated, is now no longer overrated. FFVIII is hated by 3/4's of the gaming community, and thus is not overrated. FFIX, undersold and was considered inferior to FFVII and VIII by virtue of its character design upon reveal, and post-release. For many, it's still a laughing stock, so it can't possibly be overrated.

The true most overrated FF is IV.

regarding 3DS Vs Wii U, I'd much rather they brought more of their A-game to Wii U. If both were as well provided for, there's no way I'd recommend a 3DS over a Wii U. Imagine this in a decent resolution on your TV! Sadly, I'd agree that all their good shit has been on 3DS (until 3D World anyway)

as awesome as it would be to see this game in 1080p on Wii U, it really does need to be in 3D.  It's the only 3DS game I've played all the way through with the 3D turned all the way up.  The 60 fps makes it look super slick.  Also most of the dungeons really do have a verticality to them that benefits from 3D.  I don't know if 3D is necessary for them but playing this game in 2D would be like playing it in B&W.

Saw a negative review that basically said since you can easily afford all the items early on, but since dungeons have to take into consideration that you may only have that "one" item required for the dungeon, that unlike past Zelda games where good dungeons would incorporate puzzles that made use of all the items you'd gained so far, that the dungeons are pretty simple in this one and all designed around a single item.  That the game is pretty simple from start to finish.

Any truth to that?
Title: Re: A NEW ZELDA for the 3ds
Post by: TakingBackSunday on November 25, 2013, 08:01:52 PM
Eh, I don't think that's necessarily the case.  Thing is, a lot of the items can accomplish the same thing – just how you use them.  So for instance, I could use the arrow to stun enemies, hit some switches, etc...or, I could throw some bombs to island platforms where the switch is, and stun enemies that need stunned with the hammer.  The dungeons and puzzles are way more like LttP than any of the recent games' dungeons.
Title: Re: A NEW ZELDA for the 3ds
Post by: CatsCatsCats on November 26, 2013, 07:17:09 PM
I will admit my strategy has been to rent them all, buy them as I can afford. Dunno about the necessity of multiple items, on my first dungeon in the dark world still. The puzzles are intricate enough to be interesting, even if dungeon revolve around one item.
Title: Re: A NEW ZELDA for the 3ds
Post by: TakingBackSunday on November 26, 2013, 08:16:42 PM
Yeah I rented all of the items upfront.  Risky but if your a seasoned Zelda player you should have no problems.  I did die on one boss several times but luckily I had bought the item that I needed for him before I fought him...but honestly now that I think about it I could've beaten him without that item.

If you die and lose all the items, its not a big deal.  At that point you should have a fuckton of rupees to just go re-rent all of them again.
Title: Re: A NEW ZELDA for the 3ds
Post by: TakingBackSunday on November 26, 2013, 08:17:32 PM
But you really shouldn't die.  This game makes players really need to prepare for dungeons and bosses by stocking up on fairies.  If you don't do that and you bitch and moan about dying and losing your items...

Post by: TakingBackSunday on November 27, 2013, 02:07:18 AM
I just love that you can go from one dungeon to the next, and then to the NEXT one without having to go through a standard "arrive at area, observe conflict, backtrack to previous area, acquire an item, go back to first area, talk to NPCs, use item for something, DUNGEON TIME."  That shit in TP/SS takes like a fucking hour.  In ALBW I can beat a dungeon then immediately go to another one within 5 minutes  :obama

This game is just fucking tight.  I'd say my only complaint, really, is that I wish it was a longer  :'(  I wanted like ten more dungeons!

There should be an option to turn that shit off... a sort of health-warning disclaimer that you can agree to as a one-off. Something like

'In changing this setting, you agree that Nintendo Co. Ltd and its subsidiaries have no liability for any vision impairment, muscle spasms, muscle atrophy or increased likelihood of eyeball AIDS and heart failure that you may experience through long periods of uninterrupted gameplay.

AGREE  |  DECLINE'



My bank, after forcing me to lower my overdraft, have increased my credit card limit. Arseholes obviously want me spending money-I-don't-have where it profits them most... having said that. It means I *could* get Zelda today. And that worries me.

well it's different from most 3D zelda since the focus is more on the sidequest stuff which you solve by donning various mask and looping back in time,there are only 4 dungeon and they all rely on you turning into something else and gaining their power (so for example there is a water dungeon where you turn into a zora) so there's not a lot of dungeoning to do

but the sidequest are well done,there is a pretty long involved one where you reunite two lost lover and on the other side there is a lot of small stuff that involve racing and fetching and stuff like that... other than the focus on sidequesting and the morphing into other races gimmick it's really not much different from OOT

Rough edges?

Majora's Mask is on the same level of Ocarina for me. The N64 Zeldas were amazing and brought out my inner special fellow.

I love it but it has aged a bit. Even with the RAM expansion pack it was still framey and on the pointy side. I'd love for it to have the texture rework and smoothing that Grezzo did on OOT3D.

Finally picked ALBW up yesterday -- I only played up to Lorule, so I've barley scratched the surface really -- the music so far is incredible. I found myself just standing in rooms just to make sure I'd heard every bit of each track so far..

I agree, but not ten more. Three or four would be perfect. I always felt like it was a bit rushed from announcement, I do find it funny that them rushing it is probably why it's the way it is and excluded some of the Zelda tropes we grew irritated by in the first place :lol

It actually wasn't really rushed though.  If you read the nintendo q and a thing, they have been working on it ever since ST ended development in 2009.  They had to restart development like 4 different times though.

Finished it and it's probably my GOTY, although strange considering it's a remixed LTTP.  It's shocking just how much it is LTTP, with a cool wall paining mechanic thrown in.  Minish Cap is more impressive for being a wholly original game of LTTP's quality.  And the briskness of LBW is refreshing after the last four or so Zeldas, but it loses some of its adventuring spirit, or something like that.  But but but the pacing works really well for a portable game.  My only real complaints are that renting items isn't limited enough and there isn't really a difficulty curve.
 
and I'll honestly be surprised if Nintendo doesn't release Majora's Mask 3DS next year.  LBW has tons of call backs to older games in pictures and stuff, but Majora's Mask is a 3D model hanging on Link's wall.  It's impossible to miss.

The final dungeon's musical progression is one of the highlights of fucking everything that exists. Hummed away through the entire thing!

In hero mode, do the tunics still lower the attack damages by fractions? What's the impact on bosses? ie.

can Yuganon one shot you, or is it a case of red tunic taking some brunt out of it? I had most boss patterns down, but there were a few I just kind of took lumps from while killing as fast as possible

Finished it.  It should have been 3 dungeons longer.  Also what is in the paint crack right before the final boss?

finished it today. I had an ok experience, but nintendo needs to stop with their rehashes. Overworld was totally boring.

I got this game. I'm tearing it up. Five more dungeons. Jesus. I haven't liked a Zelda since TP. I thought I was done. This is probably the best top down Zelda. I wish you didn't rent items though. I like the structure, but not finding items ruins the Zelda allure. It feels great when you uncover items to solve puzzles. This game puts it in the right direction though. Next Zelda needs to be Zelda 1ish in that you have to find items in the over world.

This game does it right in that it doesn't hold your hand and you can tackle dungeons in your own order, though. I think, combined, it'd make for some an good Zelda. On one hand, I love that dungeons don't have stupid dungeon items, but on the other hand, every dungeon is specific for certain items. I rented put all of Ravio's shit and most of my items have been sitting in my inventory the whole game. Each dungeon is divided by item. You've got the hook shot dungeon, the wind thing dungeon, the bow dungeon;etc and these dungeons rarely fully utilize your entire item set despite the fact it is nearly impossible to NOT rent out every item.

Still, it is on the right track and these are ultimately just nitpicks. Excited for the next 3d Zelda now. May get a wii ooooo for it.

it's an ok zelda, however I still Think OoA, OoS and Minish cap are more fun handheld zeldas.

It's better then the shitty DS zeldas though.

I don't think Minish Cap is that great.

Minish Cap wasn't even that great when it came out.

I liked Minish Cap but it was chore when you had to merge a shitload of kinstones for things

Yeah, agreed... the kinstones felt more like a chore than anything. I also felt the game needed more dungeons and they should have done more with the whole small/large thing instead of just using it for more lock-and-key style puzzles.
