TP did it well but it was too expansive for its own good... people look at majora's mask fondly because it was a very small game world and thus seemed packed with things to do. i think the real disappointment in TP was the main city, which was tremendously inactive despite the amount of people there and its relative size.

Himu · « **Reply #121 on:** November 20, 2009, 03:16:50 PM »

For me, it's the hub, Zelda games have towns, and towns aren't included.

I think Majora's Mask has the best one because it's so self contained with little wasted space.

There was nothing to do there except turn in bugs and shit.

There wasn't anything special to do in Zelda 1's overworld either...it was cool because it was there and nobody had seen anything like that in a game before.

I like the 2D zelda overworlds...but in 3D, they are pretty barren and can't escape being compared to games with overworlds that have things to do in them.

2d Zelda is just as barren as 3d Zelda.

LTTP and Minish Cap have decent overworlds. Maybe it's that they're so visually appealing and not as large, whereas 3D Zelda overworlds are about a step away from Desert Bus.

When people refer to the overworld, are they referring to just the hubs (both Hyrule fields, and Termina field) or do they mean any area that's not a dungeon? If it's the former, I think TP's really the only one that did it right so far.

What's so great about TP overworld?

Then again, I liked how the game had story bits that were a part of the overworld, like the part where you have to save the kid and face off with the goblin king on the bridge.

blow for blow, it has the most shit to do. bug collect, ride that fucking falcon thing, fish, play that stupid ball game, herd goats, snowboard, white water rapids, the dungeon challenges and more stuff that i'm forgetting.

Himu · « **Reply #125 on:** November 20, 2009, 03:22:49 PM »

I stopped doing all of that stuff except fishing, which owned in the wii version.

The labyrinth dungeon was disappointing.

TP was awesome. I want more of that.

FlameOfCallandor · « **Reply #127 on:** November 20, 2009, 03:24:42 PM »

Actually for me to like a zelda game, all it needs is like more than 4 dungeons and I'll be a happy camper. If Nintendo made a zelda with like 10 meaty dungeons, and Alundra-style puzzles. That would be awesome.

Oh and better items please.

Dungeon 4 is basically best dungeon in the series next to Stone Tower

It actually felt like a dungeon, what with 1000 skeletons trying to rape you at once. Fan-fucking-tastic.

Well, there just seemed to be more to do and the landscape was a bit more complex. OoT's sadly didn't have much to do and was just a big circle, MM might have had a few more enemies, but not much to do either.

I didn't have too much fun exploring TP's overworld, but that's for other reasons.

I was just talking about the field, Himu.

Also, just found out Aonuma's not directing the wii Zelda.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #140 on:** November 20, 2009, 04:39:59 PM »

He wasn't even supposed to be the director for TP but had to step back in because people suck at Nintendo.

I would say give EAD Tokyo a chance to do a Zelda after they finish Galaxy 2, and this current Zelda is done.

FlameOfCallandor · « **Reply #141 on:** November 20, 2009, 05:12:57 PM »

Pretty much. I'd buy a wii just for that zelda game. I really don't know why they don't make this game.

Ten meaty dungeons that make use of all your items instead of just emphasizing the one that you find in that particular dungeon.

I hated that about TP. So many cool items but almost nowhere to use them.

I am skeptical about Darksiders because Joe Madureira is the designer.

looks pretty good up until that cheap ass boss. I like how the time he beat it, it hardly used the fireballs while other times, it destroyed him with those in a second. I forgot all about randomized boss patterns like that in games. They were so cheap.

Just some nerd called Eiji Aonuma

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #161 on:** November 23, 2009, 04:38:58 AM »

I think he was referring mostly to the technical aspects of the game. It doesn't play as well as the newer ones, it doesn't have as strong an overall design graphically or artistically as the others, etc. And I mean, he's right.

It's still the landmark title in the series that they've yet to surpass, which he openly admits to.
