I would never stumble on something like this on Reddit. An overall mundane story, but I still enjoyed reading it. Crazy such a culture exists and is widespread!
I’m gonna hold that is was immensely more fun around A10-12, but to be fair I haven’t tried the latest release.
I remember when I was hanging out with some of the gays (I keep them as friends to keep up appearances). Before, I was always the alpha. I could swing by any bar and leave with the hottest lib in my F150. By the end of the night she’d be screaming for her daddy and fully supportive of Trump. I loved converting libs to MAGA-wearing breeders.
But then I hung around the gays, and something inside of me just fundamentally flipped: I love penis inexplicably and wearing the latest Hillary 2024 fair-trade organic cotton shirts I got for volunteering. I’ve never seen such a marvelous transformation!
History became legend.
Legend became myth.
And for two and a half thousand years, Foul Bachelor Frog passed out of all knowledge.
To be fair, 2 of those games are legit some of the GOATs. I’ve been gaming since my mom played Mario with me in the early 90s, and those two games are something else.
I remember buying the Minecraft alpha for $10, and there wasn’t that much to do, but it was strangely addicting.
I’ve been hearing this since 2010. Nothing is going to change.
EA Sports 2024 is going to come out, it’s going to have 40,000 mixed reviews.
To be fair, platforms like this will originate in that shape for the significant future. Reddit did as well. I’m not white, but work as a software engineer.
Anyone that bothers you based on your hardware is an actual 🤡
Let go of that thought. Reddit is (probably) here to stay. Lemmy will have less users, less communities, and tbh, probably less quality content. That’s okay. Grow your seeds.
I graduated at 27 and got an internship in SF. Life changed.
We might have to accept we’re on the “losing” side, e.g. Lemmy will never have the numbers our subreddits had. We’ll have smaller communities and less content, but hopefully better conversation.
I’m rambling because I love Zelda, but I’m also working rn, but also want Lemmy to have content.
I’m in a mild counter-party. In totk, I went Goron first, but didn’t get to the temple. I then deviated back to Rito hoping to unlock the aerial boost from botw. That opening sequence to the wind temple (SPOILERS AHEAD) of Link ascending through the skies was, in my opinion, the greatest moment in Zelda history so far (I haven’t yet completed the water temple, desert temple, or the other). The mild puzzle for unlocking the water temple (the eye in the sky) was brilliant. The goron story was slightly dark, akin to older 3d titles like Majora’s Mask. I can’t wait to see what the other temples bring (diablo 4 hardcore sucking my time up).
Consistently in totk we see the hero doing epic feats we’ve never really been able to see him do before. The boss fight for the wind temple was absolutely bonkers and really gives credence to Link being worthy of the Triforce and being a hero of time. The way the music overtures slowly ramp up as you progress in the dungeon is phenomenal.
Do you think there is anything lacking in botw1/2 that bringing back items fixes? I think the reliance of fusing as a primary gimmick is terrible (especially for arrows). As a side application, it would be awesome. I’m really hope in the third installment they bring back some core items, but I just don’t see how it would work? Right now you can climb everything and be everywhere (which is something else I think is vastly underrated in botw+). In the 3d zeldas, Ice/Fire arrows were huge deals, but in botw you can just fuse berries on for the same effect. Arguing one is better than the other, idk. The openness of totk is superb. If you watched 10 people play the first 10 hours of the game, or even approach the same temple, I sincerely doubt any of them would look remotely close to the same. There’s definitely something to be said about that.
I miss the hookshot (more so the grappling hook from Wind Waker).
I mean, clearly it was an evolution on all fronts, but the inheritance is clear across the board. Light world, 3 dungeons, dark world, 7. In each dungeon you find the same compass, boss key, core item (I forget if map was in both).
Undeniably, both games were utter masterclasses. I still maintain OoT holds the GOAT title screen, just scraping by Halo due to the animation.
I would love to read an essay on Zelda games if you write it, I might even change my opinion :)
Also, since you seem to have lived through the times (did you?), what are your thoughts on totk-esque dungeons vs everyone clamouring for an “old school” Zelda game? I’m thinking totk combined with old school items, instead of attaching to weapons and arrows, but keeping totk exploration, would be sublime.
Thinking about a steam deck just for Diablo 4. I’d pick up fallout 4 and borderlands 3 / Tina and possibly elden ring / sekiro too. Any thoughts?
Got a great 5 pack and jigsaw, all brushless, for like $300 total at Home Depot during the memorial day sale. My first “tool kit”. I’m hoping they hold up for a couple years!
Patriot moment
OoT, considered one of the greatest games of all time, is literally Link to the Past 3d. Majora’s mask is like a mod of OoT. WW was a huge deviation, but same dungeon structure. Twilight Princess is OoT, but edgier and with a weird platformer mix that was common in the latter stages of N64 and early Wii.
I’m general, Nintendo iterates on Zelda. I’d love for a Wind Waker 2 a la totk.
To be honest, other than theming, the old Zelda dungeons are overrated. Every dungeon from LttP and on – you’re going to get an item, and that item is critical to unlocking the 2nd half of the dungeon. It’s exceedingly linear. I don’t consider boomerang lock-on for 5 targets or using fire arrows to light torches amazing gameplay.
I do love totks crazy spinning fan torch puzzles.
I’m convinced lately the fan praise of Twilight Princess is due to youth having this as their first game. It doesn’t hold a candle to what OoT or Majora’s Mask was. Even then, OoT is LttP in 3d (for the first time, and it was phenomenal).
The steam deck is hands down the most interesting piece of tech (outside of modern smart phones). It’s wild I’ve been able to get Fallout 3 mods working in the crazy windows proton boot shells that just magically worked.
