All that shit is optional in Majora's Mask, though. All the stuff you actually need to do to beat the game easily fits within three day cycles without the need for repetition. You actually need to return to the dungeon over and over again in Phantom Hourglass. That's not remotely the same thing. While 100%ing the game absolutely should be a pain in the ass for those who want a challenge, just clearing the main story shouldn't be.
The biggest problem is that you literally can't complete it if you miss certain random side characters before they disappear from the game for no reason, which happened to me.
If you all can and haven't yet, definitely give the PC port of the game a try. It has lots if great (optional for purists) quality of life changes like making Razor permanent, and retaining bottle contents through resets.
So we're getting Focus M content for Zelda now.
This is a nightmare.
TP is decomped........ only a matter of time until the port. Good lord my body is reggie for mods.
Pokemon also axed fishing a couple of gens back and it made me equally sad. Nothing beats a good fishing minigame.
I just used an electric arrow simply because it's worse for the environment
Real recognizes real.
It's simply the most efficient.
Even with just midi music that op still hits hard, the whole OST is a testament to what can be done with it. I'm hoping the project will be completed by the 20th anniversary, proving itself to be a far better celebration than anything
Technically a lot of music in TP is streamed, still midi instruments though, not the entire OST though.
Is it bad that kids games of the 90s treated their audience as more intelligent than most adult games of the 2010s and beyond?
Same as it ever was.
Disagree. M rated games in the 90s and early 2000s treated us like the adults who were supposed to be playing them. Ubislop tutorial ui hell didn't start to infect all of gaming until the 2010s. Back in the 90s kids games still had a pretty obnoxious amount of tutorials. But they were also for kids and still less obnoxious than most modern aaa games rated m. Meanwhile kids games post 2010s actually feel more relaxed in tutorials. Seemingly doing the opposite of what should be happening. Instead of treating adult gamers like people who played a game before in their life. It's a thing for kids and vice versa. Ninja gaiden and old school resident evil didn't even have tutorials. You just had your opening and began playing the game unless you looked in the tutorial files. In re4 outside of context sensitive moments the game had 0 mandatory tutorials. Far cry and the far cry instincts series had the tutorial be its own separate level. Etc. also how elder scrolls Oblivion tutorials just thrust you into the game forcing you to learn how to play to overcome the challenges and letting you choose how you wish to play with presets giving you guestimates on what you enjoy most based off of your own gameplay. But unlike Skyrim never had any npcs that gave you hints or told you how to complete anything. Mainly because all the NPCs were hostile rats and goblins tbf.
