I think I’ll try to get his flute on my next replay, it’s about high time for one anyway. I liked the original LA graphics better tbh, but that might just be nostalgia speaking, haha. The remakes biggest upgrade was the shell thing, I always messed that up in the original. The dungeon maker didn’t really add anything and got boring after the first five minutes but I liked seeing Dampé and his career change. (1/5)

I won’t lie, I kept getting lost in LoZ1, but I did finish it. LoZ2 is close to impossible imo without saving, but I did beat it once. Only to never ever play it again. Would you consider those two the older games or would you add ALttP too? I remember watching my mom play that one on the SNES and wanting to play it too only to get terrified by the icemonsters in the Ice Palace. (2/5)

WWs remake was good but I feel like they did very little beyond cleaning up the graphics and making the boat go faster. What I hated about the MM remake was how they changed the bossfights. The fight against Goht was awesome as it was, rolling around as a Goron and launching yourself into his face was so cool. But instead they added an eye? And they did the same with Gyorg changing the bosses from being able to be fought solely in Goron/Zora form to having to switch back to Hylian. (3/5)

For TP HD they should have cleaned it up a bit, you’re right. A bigger difference between the Twilight realm and the normal world would have been cool, but I can’t see TP with a SS like color scheme. Some areas that popped with color though, like Zora’s Domain could have been much bluer and shinier, that would have added a lot. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if TP was remade/actually cleaned up and released for the switch or the next main console. So we might see it yet! (4/5)

I’m so excited for BotW2! I wish they’d release more info. I love traveling through the Akkala region and I want to go back there to see what happens after Calamity Ganon died. But please no redeads, I’m still traumatized from walking into Castle Town after the timeskip in OoT and being screeched at. The choking noises still haunt me. Sorry about the length! - Pokenon (5/5)

i like the og graphics a lot, but i felt like the style they went for in the remake worked really well. i don’t really like how most of the “next gen” top-down games look tbh, like especially with pokemon, i prefer the pixel art to the 3d models. a link between worlds is super fun but the characters look like chipmunks lol, with the link’s awakening remake i think the simplicity worked really well and i’d love to see a more stylized pokemon (tbh i’d love to see a new pixel-art nintendo game)...

i used a guide for part of loz1 when i played it, but i think the idea was to tell your friends about secrets, do a lot of trial and error, etc. i feel like there was a map or guide that you could get when the game first came out but maybe i’m making that up lol. i beat zelda ii once and haven’t touched it since, it was too frustrating for me. never got the hang of the hitboxes. i gave the final fight a good ol college try and then resigned myself to poking dark link to death from the corner rip... i would group the first two together, but to me the “older” games would be up to oot when they went 3d for the first time. i’m on the younger end though bc i wasn’t alive when the first four games came out lol

i should replay ww hd, i thought they also gave you the gale song earlier but i could be misremembering... and yeah it’s kind of weird that they changed the mechanics of the boss fights in mm. it seems like they were trying to emphasize that the creatures were just infected, not actually evil, but they could’ve just made it an aesthetic change.

and no, i don’t think tp would look right with ss colors or even the oot/mm colors... imo if the greens and blues were a bit more saturated that would be enough. and i think they could render link’s hair and face much better now. they used a loooot of textures on basically everything (link’s hair, the grass, water, stone, etc.) to make up for what they couldn’t really do yet for “realism” and the effect didn’t really work for me, but i think touching up select things, esp character models, would make a big difference. i hope they give it another go for the switch, and of course i want ww on there, too....

yesss i hope we get to see the aftermath of defeating the calamity in different places, some scenes of zelda and link working to rebuild... the redeads scare the crap out of me but i love them! if we have a zombie ganondorf we deserve more zombies lmao. don’t worry abt the length, i never get to blab abt zelda so it’s fun for me <3
