Regend of Zeruda Demo

[Himu]

ALBW is the best 2d Zelda.

Grats.

It does the exact opposite you said the new Zelda would do. It's pretty obvious after ALBW they're trying to pander more to the hardcore Zelda fans more than casuals. But whoops, wouldn't know that because you think it looks awful ().

[Positive Touch]

a lot of us old fucks got by just fine in Zelda 1&2 and those games didn't tell you shit. extended tutorials are fucking backwards and useless to boot.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Tutorials are fine if the information is being conveyed to you incrementally while actually playing the game rather than through crawling text. Like Link to The Past. You didn't stand there in front of your dying dad while he explained which button lets you swing your sword, how you charge your spin attack and how your shield works at 3 letters a second. They just throw you in an easy ass starter dungeon and let you figure it out yourself. The Zelda team needs to remember that people are smart enough to figure things out on their own if they're given the tools and put in a simple environment.

spends 2 hours teaching you how to play, then sticks you with the shittiest HUDs ever:

[Tasty]

The SS HUD could actually be made pretty minimal. The default was shitty of course.

[Himu]

ALBW's tutorial is minimal and the game doesn't hold the players hand

[cool breeze]

wind waker is pretty good about it.  less than half an hour you're already decked out, failed to rescue your sister, and left for the adventure.  in twilight princess you're doing actual chores for hours.  skyward sword's initial tutorial is shorter but never lets up, so you can be in hour 20 and it's still going.

ALBW had its own problems with incredibly simplistic puzzles and exploration because of the item rental design. It was a great game, but if the next Zelda was exactly like ALBW but in console graphics I'd be disappointed.  It needs to improve on ALBW.

[Himu]

Agreed.

[AdmiralViscen]

Zelda 1 is the mother fucking shit

[TakingBackSunday]

Zelda 1 is shit

ftfy

1+2 still my faves.  i never did play Link's Awakening or the Oracle games though.

I'm one of those "3D zelda can suck a dick" guys.

[Bebpo]

I can't judge the old games.  I liked them enough as a kid, but I've never felt the need to replay them.  I don't really feel the need to replay even PS1 games outside MGS1.


Basically:

I think they were good based on my old foggy memory, but nostalgia and all that:  Zelda 1/2/LttP/64/MM/WW outside of tri-force hunt
I remember they were actually good based on my recent memory:  Minish hat, ALBW, TP was decent
I remember they were kind of shit based on recent memory:  Spirit Tracks, SS, that one before Spirit Tracks that was ok I guess

Never played the Oracle games or much of the GB game with the owl bird.  Will get to them some day.

you have fallen right into my trap

[CatsCatsCats]

Fuck the hipster fegs, MM sucked.

[ToxicAdam]

Some of the fetch quests in MM were tedious as hell. Although, I can't recall if those were mandatory to defeat the game. I just know at the time, I felt compelled to complete them all because I might miss out on an uber-reward.

But yea, LTTP and OoT had great pacing, which is why most people consider them the best.
