New Zelda will be revealed next week so I think it's time for a Zelda series playthrough.

I should be finished with Gay Tony tonight so I'll be starting a game of LTTP soon. Then I'll be playing LA, OOT, MM, and possibly WW.

Who's with me?

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #1 on:** June 09, 2010, 03:05:06 PM »

I've never played a Zelda in my life past the first few hours of Twilight Princess.

Himu · « **Reply #2 on:** June 09, 2010, 03:05:46 PM »

Now is a good opportunity to do so.

I've already been doing this kinda. Beat Majoras Mask and I'm up to Ganon in LttP. I'm kind of ambivalent about replaying OoT to be honest.

Himu · « **Reply #5 on:** June 09, 2010, 03:46:11 PM »

Have any issues with OoT?

Barry Egan · « **Reply #6 on:** June 09, 2010, 03:47:24 PM »

I've just replayed it so many times, and it seems kind of lifeless compared to the other zeldas.

cool breeze · « **Reply #7 on:** June 09, 2010, 03:51:21 PM »

I replay these games all year round, and it seems a bit meaningless to play them for the reveal, but I have been meaning to replay the two Oracle games. I'm hoping they announce Gameboy games for virtual console or the 3DS or something. Ever since my Super Mario Deluxe cart got wiped, I kinda don't want to mess with my old games thinking they'll get wiped too. If not that, maybe an emulator.

I'll probably be continuing my 3 heart run of Twilight Princess after I get the last 2 of the first 120 stars in Galaxy. Anyone want to join with?

Himu · « **Reply #9 on:** June 09, 2010, 04:00:36 PM »

3 heart TP run? Good luck, sounds like it'd make the game a lot more fun.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #10 on:** June 09, 2010, 04:02:18 PM »

I've never played Majora's Mask before, so I'd be up for playing it on my Gamecube.

cool breeze · « **Reply #11 on:** June 09, 2010, 04:07:44 PM »

weren't there some issues with the gamecube version of MM or do I just have a bad memory?

Himu · « **Reply #12 on:** June 09, 2010, 04:15:34 PM »

There are issues. It freezes occasionally, and considering the game's structure, this makes playing it annoying.

Arbys Roast Beef Sandwich · « **Reply #13 on:** June 09, 2010, 04:22:10 PM »

I'm playing ALTTP on my GB Micro

Eh. I don't have a N64, so it's this or nothing.

You could emulate.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #16 on:** June 09, 2010, 05:02:10 PM »

I played MM on my gamecube without problems

Himu · « **Reply #17 on:** June 09, 2010, 05:03:20 PM »

It didn't freeze? It froze a whole lot for me.

OptimoPeach · « **Reply #18 on:** June 09, 2010, 05:04:14 PM »

I was close to finishing Link's Awakening, but somewhere in the midst of Eagle's Tower my save file got corrupted. I probably won't play it again for a while lol. So I downloaded Oracle of Seasons and Ages to make up for it, and I'm playing Seasons first. Doubt I'll replay any of the 3D Zeldas, although if for some reason I do get the urge then it will be Majora's Mask.

I didn't even know MM got ported to GameCube lol

Link's Awakening is the best

It was ported as a bonus or something and not as a retail product.

Himu · « **Reply #21 on:** June 09, 2010, 06:04:40 PM »

It's on the Zelda: Collectors Disc, which includes Zelda 1, 2, OoT, MM and a demo of WW. No LTTP because LTTP gba had came out around that time and Nintendo wanted you to buy it.

Anyways, started that game of LTTP ahead of schedule. You know, I think there are better Zelda's but overall I gotta say, LTTP is definitely the funnest. The flow, the pacing, everything about it just about perfect.

magus · « **Reply #22 on:** June 09, 2010, 07:05:12 PM »

the best zelda is link's awakening but that's because all olde gameboy nintendo games are awesome

cool breeze · « **Reply #23 on:** June 09, 2010, 07:31:01 PM »

I get the gamecube zelda discs mixed up. The collectors edition one with the four Zelda games was with the purchase of a new gamecube or free from Nintendo power. I don't remember what it was called, but there was another I got when buying Wind Waker that included OoT and Master Quest. I think the latter came with a demo for Wind Waker too.

Oblivion · « **Reply #24 on:** June 09, 2010, 07:42:55 PM »

I'm deciding whether I should play OoT or WW first.

Played MM about a year ago so it'll probably be a good while before I get back to that.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #25 on:** June 09, 2010, 08:41:03 PM »

I'll join in, starting with LTTP tonight.

My brother has a disc with zelda 1, 2, OoT (+MQ), MM and a winder waker demo that came with his machine. PAL though. Never froze on MM either. Solid product.

Himu · « **Reply #30 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:05:18 PM »

I have the Zelda Collectors Disc and mine doesn't have MQ on it

Fucking EU. $:-\$

brob · « **Reply #31 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:10:46 PM »

I might actually be misremembering. I know I've seen my brother play MQ, but it might have been on some other disc then? Nintendo would never give PAL something resembling a better product.

Himu · « **Reply #32 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:13:57 PM »

There was another disc that came with WW pre-orders that included OoT and MQ.

I beat LTTP.

LA next.

Arbys Roast Beef Sandwich · « **Reply #35 on:** June 13, 2010, 01:21:36 PM »

I've decided to join this marathon silently, I just got done with ALTTP on GBA (not doing all the Four Swords shit since I only have two GBAs) and am going to check out the FDS version of Zelda II... Looking forward to checking out what's different from the NES version.

Barry Egan · « **Reply #36 on:** June 13, 2010, 01:25:02 PM »

Imma try to get LA working on my mac today.

OptimoPeach · « **Reply #37 on:** June 13, 2010, 01:37:55 PM »

I'm almost done with Oracle of Seasons. Some nice puzzles in this one, although the season thing is pretty gimmicky as expected. Still, lots of sweet dungeons and items.

Ancient Ruins

Magnetic Gloves

I'm gonna play Ages next since I've never completed either. Is there any consensus on which one is better?

Himu · « **Reply #38 on:** June 13, 2010, 01:47:14 PM »

I hear Ages is better.

Arby's what exactly is FDS version of Zelda 2?

magus · « **Reply #39 on:** June 13, 2010, 02:33:31 PM »

i like season better
better final boss
less annoying gimmick
and it has the magnetic gloves

Famicom Disk System version. Different (better?) music, a leveling system that's more fucked up than the NES version (if you can believe that), the dungeons don't have different tilesets and bosses (iirc) and the overworld enemies look like little spermies. I am playing it on actual hardware for extra torture..

BTW, Seasons is totally the better game of the two Oracles games. Ages was kinda boring in comparison imho.

Tucah · « **Reply #41 on:** June 13, 2010, 04:43:27 PM »

I will take this opportunity to replay the best three Zelda games - LA, OoS, OoA.

And also Majora's Mask.

Barry Egan · « **Reply #42 on:** June 13, 2010, 09:23:35 PM »

I'm enjoying the lighter tone of LA so far.

Himu · « **Reply #43 on:** June 13, 2010, 09:55:54 PM »

I really like LA and how the whole overworld is one big dungeon.

Barry Egan · « **Reply #44 on:** June 14, 2010, 09:41:48 PM »

On to dungeon 4 in LA.

Barry Egan · « **Reply #45 on:** June 18, 2010, 01:05:54 AM »

Beat Links Awakening just now. On to the Oracle games.
