Never had a 64 at the time so never played OOT when it was new. Played the 3DS version for a bit but the game was pretty boring. Never bothered with MM. Played TP on Gamecube and it was just okay. That intro was so goddamn long and boring it killed most of my interest early. Never played Skyward Sword so can't speak to that.

The Nintendo 64 and Gameboy Color were Nintendo's second and third worst consoles, easily.  (Number one goes to the Virtual Boy).  I went from being a big Nintendo fan to not really caring about anything they put out.  Liked them with the Game Cube and GBA again, then lost a lot interest with the Wii and DS.

Wind Waker is the only good 3D Zelda. It is known.

The problem is it's not perfect. So, if those imperfections rub you the wrong way, it can be a bad experience.

Which is true of most of the 3D Zeldas. They can be the best games and the worst games. All for different reasons.

Sorta the same. Lost interest around 64, came back with Cube and GBA. Though the DS brought me back full steam and I was mostly into Wii as a side console. Wii U was good to have as an addition to a PC and I figure Switch will be the same.

There are far too many all-time classics on the 64 to be considered anywhere near "worst" my dude.

I WISH that were the case so collecting for this shit wouldn't be so expensive.

I didn't like most early 3D Nintendo titles at all.  Back in 1996 I liked 2D games way more than 3D games and was not much for 3D platformers...so the N64 was not for me.  The first game that I spent a lot of time with was Goldeneye (multiplayer only) and that was about it for a long time.  I did love Conker though.

This reminds me that my boxed N64 and games are just sitting at my parents' house.  Time to get rid of it.

tbh, has there ever been a zelda game that hasn't been praised? We know it is going to score 9s and 10s and the occasional 8 that puts neogaf in riotmode. Can't trust the review media after the shitty Skyward sword that sits on 93 @ metacritic.

In the late 90s I was in high school and spent my time on newsgroups being overly positive about just about everything.   :lol

Two genres I think mostly sucked back then in 3D were fighting games (with a few exceptions) and platformers.  The latter mainly because I don't like collect-a-thon games.  I wasn't into Donkey Kong Country, either.  It was the first game from Nintendo that I wound up not wanting to play and selling off.

I loved polygon racers.  Those absolutely shat all over the sprite-based games.  Sega's arcade racers and Ridge Racer were mind-blowing back in the day.  :hyper

tbh, has there ever been a zelda game that hasn't been praised?

Hmm...Spirit Tracks?

Apparently I'll be getting this at launch because whatever magic spell Nintendo has cast on Japanese children managed to catch my son in its snare.  :doge

He asked me to move the seldom-used Wii out of the way so his Switch will have a place to rest. Little does he know, he'll be using the built-in screen to game.  :lol

Truth be told, I'm looking forward to seeing him play a Zelda game. I'll also see about getting older Zelda games after this, if he's into them.

Ocarina of Time 3DS and Wind Waker HD are the best options you've got for older games. The remakes for those two are excellent.

I ordered Wind Waker HD yesterday.  Found a used gold-foil (or is it just a gold cover?) copy in great condition for $20.

Frame rate in the Wii U version can be a bit “uneven” at times, dropping into the teens; however, this only during “very busy sequences” such as heavy weather effects and “rarely when it matters.”

Good enough for me to justify not buying another Nintendo console.

Yeah, I'm not going to buy a switch until it has a critical mass of games I want, or the price drops. But I'm not going to wait that long to play this. My Wii U will be just fine.  That being said, I'm too deep in Doom right now to consider another game at the time. So it wont be day 1.

Sort of.

There are several things added to the game outside of the fetch quest that make traversal wayyyy less a pain in the ass, including immediate wind changing, a sail that makes it so the wind is always in the correct direction depending on your position, and the grappling hook plundering takes like 2 seconds instead of 10.  They also cut down on the needed charts to find the triforce pieces, and made it so you never have to go to Tingle.

What usually took me 2-4 hours in the original Wind Waker took me maybe an hour this time around.

Ah, cool.  Thanks. The uber sail would be much appreciated. Hopefully they port it to the Switch, I'll try it out.

Personally, I've only seen some of the pics in this thread and heard some of the OST on youtube. I'm not actively seeking information at all beyond knowing that big spoilers have indeed leaked out, so I'd agree with you.

Game leaked, I watched 5 minutes of someone in the final dungeon and kinda wish I hadn't. Cut the stream off as soon as he started reading what I'm sure was important text.

Music was dope as fuck but the frame rate was trash.

This makes sense though. Isn't the dock essentially just HDMI out? So you're rendering the game at a higher resolution without additional hardware support.

Stuff I've been reading and hearing about this game make it sound pretty cool and not just another Zelda game. Austin Walker described some aspects as "Portal or The Witness" like in how there are little contained environmental puzzles scattered around.

I'm not getting a Switch at launch but I may down the line would def be interested in playing this.

DF says it's 720p, but goes up to 900p when docked. They tied the FPS drops to too many alpha effects.
