Old school vs. New school Zelda[views:15894][posts:95]_______________________________ [Oct 14,2008 3:55pm - aril ""] Tactics Ogre ftw |
| _______________________________ [Oct 14,2008 3:59pm - aril ""] OH and I forgot to mention. If you guys like a Link to the Past and all the old-school Zelda games, please check out Crusader of Centy for Sega Genesis. It's Sega's Zelda game. Although a bit corny and kidsy at times, it's definitely right up there with Zelda IMO. |

I was addicted (literally) to WOW for a little while, so i'm biased against it. You can't go wrong with most Megaman or Castlevania games. Megaman X i probably played the most. |

| __________________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 12:25am - bobnomaamrooney ""] I could not get into Vagrant Story at all, I think I put in 8-10 hours before I got tired of the setting and battle system. OOT was fun once you got past the overly long tutorial portion, but yeah it wasn't on par with LttP. There was a playstation game similar to Zelda, Alundra I think? Find a torrent of that if you're looking for a 2d Zelda experience. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 15,2008 9:23am - aril ""] vagrant story's settings change quite a lot, especially later in the game. when you're not fighting medieval humans, you're fighting Lich's, demons, djinn, orcs, lizardmen, minotaurs, dragons, etc. it get's very epic at parts. the battle system on the other hand; believe it or not, is very complex. you have the ability to create your own weapons, and you have to create them with certain attributes which are strong or weak against certain enemies. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 7,2009 3:22pm - sacreligion ""] The Adventure of Link is the hardest game to ever play via emulator. Fucked. |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 7,2009 5:25pm - thegreatspaldino ""] i just played through link to the past again not too long ago in two sittings and it was mind blowing. seriously better than the ugly cockarina of time. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 7,2009 5:31pm - Trioxin245 ""] never played any of the other new ones but ocarina of time is probably my favorite game of all time |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 7,2009 5:36pm - ouchdrummer ""] i'm playing the "twilight princess" now, it's incredible. It's the first Zelda that actually looks like an RPG to me. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 7,2009 5:38pm - RustyPS ""] I'm pretty partial to the original Legend of Zelda myself |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 7,2009 5:39pm - ouchdrummer ""] me too, i really like LINK for the NES as well.. great music. |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 5:58pm - i_am_not_me ""] I was ready to chime in and say Link to the Past is best...then I saw that I already had...nearly 2 years ago. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 5:59pm - reimroc ""] I've played all the Zelda games except for one and I must say I've loved all of them. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 6:04pm - arilliusbm ""] Links Awakening > All Others |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 9:41pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] 8 bit nintendo zelda is for fags. Only dressing up in my moms green dress while hitting neighborhood kids with a sharp stick is TRUE zelda. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 16,2010 12:06am - Lamp ""] The best Zelda is the one where Link and Hulk Hogan fight over who can knock down the World Trade Center the fastest. |

| __________________________________ [Jul 16,2010 8:49am - ShadowSD ""] Perhaps this is a sign of my age and maybe I wouldn't feel the same way if I were ten years younger - but I don't think so - I just think 3D games began an embrace of good graphics and sound over good storylines and gameplay, kind of like spending a million dollars in the studio for a great production of shitty songs. Zelda and Mario are glaring examples of this because they developed as far superior games on earlier systems with less emphasis on the newest graphics and sound technology, and so the flip in priorities is especially noticable. I feel the same way about the Final Fantasy series, FFII and FFIII for SNES were two of the best videogames ever made, if not the best, and I remember playing a 3D FF years later for a couple minutes and wondering exactly what the hell it was they thought it had to do with the actual Final Fantasy series and the gameplay it was so well known for. As a matter of fact, aside for sports and fighting games, the obsessive usage of 3-D has been a giant mistake, as ridiculous as if the film industry decided that ALL movies starting in the 90's would all now be made for 3-D, including great films and drama. |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 16,2010 10:14am - arilliusbm ""] You know something? That map is very similar to Link's Awakening map. The raft ride, location of the castle, location of the woods. I just had an epiphany- could it be possible that Link ate one of Tarin's magic toadstool/mushrooms and had an hallucination in the same reality as the world of light for ALttP? As noted in Link's awakening, Tarin is Mario in disguise. One can notice the physical similarities of them, in addition to the fact that he dressed up in a tanooki suit. He also placed the Yoshi doll in the Trendy Game. I sincerely belive Link was tripping balls now. it's Marios plot to overthrow Link and Kidnap Zelda so he can have a threesome with princess peach. Shit is all falling into place. A+ |
| _______________________________ [Jul 16,2010 10:23am - ark ""] Nintendo's game designers regularly explore massive gardens while tripping balls...the influence is apparent in every one of their games. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 16,2010 10:30am - ouchdrummer ""] yeah, i luv a link to the past jon. It's my fav of all of them. The only one that compares is the original Zelda, or twilight princess. I enjoy the winkwaker too, but it's a little too cartoony for me. not DARK enough. (which i know, sounds a LITTLE silly when talking about zelda.) The original link was a lot of fun too, although it was totally different than all of the other games. Which, i kinda like. It's nice when game designers take chances... (well, sometimes.) |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 16,2010 10:32am - arilliusbm ""] Yep. Aren't mushrooms somewhat legal in Japan? Or is that a false fact I need to rid from my brain? |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 16,2010 10:32am - ShadowSD ""] There definitely was a wink and a nudge when it came to Mario and constantly eating mushrooms. (Never mind Mario 2, which entirely constituted of tripping balls, and quickly revised itself only at the end - he was just DREAMING, wink, wink) |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 16,2010 10:35am - arilliusbm ""] Mario 2 is NOT a Mario game. I love it, but the game was called Doki Doki Panic. Hence all the differences. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 16,2010 10:37am - Slag NLI ""] Mario 2 is by far, (if I recall) the hardest game of the series. Honestly, my favorite also. |

If Mario 2 isn't Mario despite containing 90% of the elements of Mario 1 and Mario 3 games, then the 3-D stuff certainly doesn't count as Mario, and arguably neither would the original Mario Bros. (arcade) or certainly the original Donkey Kong from which Mario was spawned. And forget about Golf and Mike Tyson's Punch Out :spineyes: |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 16,2010 12:37pm - arilliusbm ""] You gotta be shittin me. I briefly glanced at it on my phone and assumed it was ALttP because of the color. You're right, there's the windfish's egg. I was wondering why I didn't remember the map that way for APttP. DX? Fuck that. OMG AN EXTRA DUNGEON. Oracle of Seasons / Ages also don't hold a candle to LA and ALttP. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 16,2010 12:58pm - m nli ""] DX is awesome because it's in color LOL @ U |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 16,2010 1:03pm - arilliusbm ""] oh yea? At least my gameboy was grass fed. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 16,2010 1:04pm - m nli ""] Mine runs on batteries |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 16,2010 1:07pm - arilliusbm ""] Mine still works like a charm. There's some dust settling in between the screen layers but I can fix that. IT'D BE NICE TO PLAY LINKS AWAKENING AGAIN. |
