legend of zelda series never really did it for me - /vr/

I am going to get my head bitten off if I post it anywhere else but here; but honestly console LoZ titles never really clicked with me. Sure they are all fun in the moment, but they don't have any lasting impression; I don't think about "what if" scenarios; or feel the need to recreate set pieces , they are just one and done. The handheld titles on the other hand had great spritework or unusual mechanics you don't see very often. Am I the odd man out or did anyone else feel this way?

You do understand that the console Zelda titles started out as 2D sprite-based games?

Zelda is just a baby game, you aren't supposed to like it if you're an adult

It's not just you. The first one and Link's Awakening are the only two I've finished. It's not bad, but it's all super repetitive so every few years I'll try another, play for a while but always get bored long before finishing.

>i dont have an autistic compulsion to do things related to the game outside of the game >i am, however, autistic in a different way to think that not feeling such compulsions is possibly weird.

Replayed Minish Cap 2 years ago, the extreme linearity really soured my opinion on it, especially since I replayed it immediately after ALTTP. In ALTTP you explore, in MC you try to find the single rock/bush/whatever that can be moved to unlock the path to the next dungeon. And the upgrades and collectibles are all walled behind the kinstones (which are RNG drops), once you have enough, you give them out to the NPC's at the hub and other settlements, and then the game literally shows you where to go and what to do to get that heart container or whatever, completely robbing you of natural curiosity and will to explore.Beautiful pixel art though, yes.

Is there a way to know who was the guy who made the pixel art in this game? I want to play more games that look like this

The thing with top-down 2D Zeldas is that they left the console before reaching maturity. There's only Zelda 1 & 3 on NES and SNES respectively. Zelda 1 is obviously very rough around the edges but IMO even ALttP is still sort of trying to find its groove gameplay-wise. There's just a ton of stuff thrown in there to see what sticks. The dungeon design and overall gameplay of Link's Awakening feels a lot tighter and polished even if it's on a much weaker platform.

Hot take: the only really good Zelda titles are Awakening and Ocarina of Time.The NES Zelda has aged horribly, by which I mean, it was clearly never good.SNES Zelda was merely okay. it's not a particularly fun game to play. dull to look at and dull to listen to.

>I don't think about "what if" scenarios; or feel the need to recreate set pieces Those are the ways you realize if you liked a game? Kind of autistic, desu (but it's okay)

Never liked LOZ games either. They always try to balance action, adventuring and puzzling in a way that never quite manages to excel at any particular one of these aspects. The Ys games are better in every way, despite being LOZ clones. It goes to show that just because you're a clone, doesn't mean you're inferior to the originals.

I never got into Zelda, Nintendo can't write a story (as seen in other M)

Anon10/26/26, 20:24No.12897446

Golvellius mogs all of 2D Zelda. Maybe try it out?
