Legend of Zelda thread - Lorefags GTFO!

Today I get disappointed when an open world game uses hills I can't climb to block me in. Being able to say "fuck roads" and brute force my way across the map was the best.

It is pretty fun. Which is why I hate Breath Of The Wild. It like sure, you could climb this wall or cliff but the moment you try it’s going to start raining.

What are you talking about, Clydesdale?

Speaking of rain, hopefully they expand the element system in BOTW2 to reincorporate the wind from Wind Waker.

The whole wind gimmick from wind waker was probably one of the most tedious ways I've ever seen a game artificially extended before. Sit on the fucking boat, wave your stupid stick around to travel in one direction, sit for like 5 fucking minutes waiting for your stupid boat, that also wouldn't shut the fuck up just like navi, then wave your stupid stick again to change directions.

Everything about wind waker was so fucking disappointing. You've got oot and MM then the two Oracle games, then, the first Zelda that comes out on GameCube is a fucking half game with only 4 dungeons, a big empty ocean that's navigated using a stick to control the wind and a ridiculous tedious fetch quest for tingle as the finale before ganon. Where you have to collect almost a full wallet full of rupees, travel to tingle, buy his fucking map, then painstakingly and tediously use your fucking wind stick to navigate to a random square in the ocean, use your fucking crane to fish randomly around until you find the triforce piece, then repeat the process 6 or 7 more times.

That shit was the biggest fuck you. Here, I'm thinking, I finish the four dungeons, find out, ok, now I have to get the triforce pieces cool, a bunch more dungeons, kinda like how OOT had those intro dungeons then the rest as an adult. Nope, no more fucking dungeons, just riding around in your stupid boat going on a scavenger hunt for that fairy pedo faggot tingle.

Tingle was bad enough as a little side character in majora's mask. Why the fuck Nintendo decided, yes, we should take our very obvious 40 year old faggot pedophile who dresses like a fairy side character that's that's arguably one of the most annoying characters in majora's mask and make him a crucial part of windwaker is beyond me.

Fuck wind waker. That game's also the only reason any of the time split bullshit even needed to happen. That game should have just been retconned out of existence, the whole premise was just retarded anyway and every game that directly spawned from it was just some gimmicky garbage with no need to exist.

Have you played Spirit Track and Phantom hourglass too?

Both were pretty bad and I think minish cap was the only one out of the whole timeline that was decent.

I liked minish cap. It wasn't the best 2d Zelda, but it was pretty fun. I thought Minish cap was set before everything but skyward sword?

Spirit tracks and phantom hourglass were gimmicky trash. I found a lot of the DS touchscreen stuff kind of gimmicky and pointless though.

Minish cap was still Windwaker Link.

The HD version of WW fixed an assload of stuff including how easily it was to break the quests. But yeah that whole generation of Zelda games didn't really work all that well for the majority. 4 Swords adventures required a shitload of stuff to work properly. Twilight Princess was just kind of average and the HD remaster didn't fix much either other than adding a Poe counter.

I've never played any of the remastered versions of any of the Zelda games other than the GBA remake of alttp and that GameCube version of oot that came with windwaker.

Twilight princess had some interesting things but it was pretty average feeling though it felt at least more like what a GameCube should have been after the last system's 3d games, but it didn't bug me as much as wind waker did. I wasn't even one of those people pissed about the art design or anything. I did enjoy it for the first half of the game or so. But eventually it became a chore and not in a fun way and just kind of ended.

The thing I think bugs me the most about wind waker is it actually could have been so much better. The ocean world and sailing thing isn't a terrible idea, just the implementation, while clever, was kind of poorly thought out, especially at the end.

If they'd spent a tad less time working on perfect cel shaded cartoon faces and a bit more time adding some more content that wasn't a crap load of tedious fetch quests the game could have been better.

Look at the amount of content they could cram into an n64 cart. Look at say metroid prime which came out like 3 months later. It should have been a step up from oot and even majora's mask.

Instead the whole thing revolved around a sailing gimmick that wasn't really that fun to do any more by the end, yet you're forced to for the last several hours of the game.

Take this with a grain of salt but I remember reading somewhere that Tingle is well liked in Japan, which is why he even got his own game in Japan

I'm a quarter of the way through the video. Pretty good stuff.

I'm kind of baffled though. At 30 minutes he talks about the mid boss in Jabu Jabu. He says it's hard because he's slightly faster and it's hard to chase him, so you need to cheese it by using the boomerang. Even when I was 10 I did this and thought this was the way you were meant to fight him...

Also been playing this shit for twenty something years and just learned Redeads are blind and you can tip toe past them. Navi probably tells you this but fuck if I was paying attention.

No, that one I think made you immune to electrical damage/lightning with the full set. The climbing set gave you unlimited stamina while climbing so you could just spam jumps, that might be the closest thing.

That’s right!

I haven’t played it in a long, long time. I thought there was one full set of equipment that let you climb freely in the rain. I’m remembering it wrong, I guess.
