re: The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time

yeah I had to shell out an extra $10 for some shitty looking power cord

the battery power lasts seemingly forever though. I started with majora's mask and I love the c pad, but I think i'm going to table it for one more game

a link between worlds is too much fun and a good way to mix up my Zeldathon that will last until the new game is released.

I vaguely recall the water temple being the shittiest of them all. for some reason, I just did not enjoy the shadow temple one bit.

Whenever I saw link become an adult in OoT as a kid, I was blown away.

Hell I replayed that game a month ago as a full grown adult and when I saw that cutscene I got full blown nerd chills. I think I actually had to choke back tears. But no one saw me so it's ok.

What's up with the cow stealing alien invaders in Romani Ranch? This seems like a really random side quest ?

Its odd, but MM has that sort of weird theme.

is that one 2d?

I may get a Link to the Past next.

just looked it up. looks great on the 3ds

A link between worlds is the best zelda since MM. It was high quality start to finish with excellent music.

People who think OoT is the greatest think Twilight Princess is one of the next greatests because it's basically the same game as OoT. That was the identical game they were hoping for.

Now OoT is the greatest but I wouldn't rank Twilight Princess next simply because of how similar it is. Now it's a fantastic game though.

How I feel about the the games. MM is just so fricking different it can't be compared. TP is a cheap OoT that loses steam in its second half. I mean shite, was there anything half as intriguing in the half way point of that game as walking out of the Temple of Time, seeing Death Mountain on Fire and ReDeads all around? No.

Instead of tension greatly gained, it is lost entirely. There is not a single reason to give a frick on what happens to the characters in the second half of the game. What happens and what does the villain do? Just sits in his tower waiting for the hero to kill him and nothing more. Seriously, think it through, what did Zant or Ganon do in the second half of the game:

Desert Temple: Really nothing
Ice Mansion: Well, the wife is sick, but nothing.
Temple of Time: Nothing I can think of.
Sky Sanctuary: Absolutely nothing.
Palace of Twilight: Zant is waiting.
Hyrule Castle: Ganondorf is waiting.

They didn't do shite. With each of the Temples in Ocarina you know how Ganondorf has fricked up the area and with people's lives, while I don't know at all with TP. That's why Majora was such a great antagonist. You felt his horror and presence throughout the story. TP builds to an anticlimax and that's it. I don't hate TP, but it's incredibly disappointing.

Breath of the Wild looks amazing though and everything every Zelda since its iteration to 3D wasn't, which is a good thing.

You sympathize with the main antagonist which makes the game so great.

Well, Skull Kid isn't the main antagonist. It's Majora. The only villain in video games I think that can compare to him in terms of being entirely despicable and irredeemable is Kefka from Final Fantasy VI. I really don't think there are any video game villains close to these two as far as competent monsters are concerned.

For fricks sake,

Guiding that blind as frick gravekeeper Dampe, with the <6 hour countdown on, to find 3 blue torches, two of which were elevated, then fighting a big poe was stressful as frick.

Deposited my rupees,and got the song off with 30 minutes only to spare

The whole ikana graveyard sequence was pretty cool
