| DeathVelvien 07/29/21 8:18:48 PM #40 | First four dark world dungeons done, in relatively intended order. Probably knock out the final three crystal dungeons tomorrow. Also hitting a weird mental block where, due to so much watching/playing so much of the randomizer since I last played the base game, I keep having to second guess what's actually important and what isn't. Hoping I don't end up managing to forget a heart piece or something from this lol --- UNICLR: Phonon | BBCTB: Orie/Izayoi | Smash Ultimate: Ridley | GBVS: Zeta Arizona Cardinals: Fire Kingsbury. |

| DeathVelvien 07/28/21 5:31:10 PM #35 | And finished with Zelda II. Final dungeon (and the path leading to it) was a nightmare as always. Cheesed Shadow Link since I was on my last life and low on health from Thunderbird, but it begs the question: If I kill Thunderbird but then get a game over against Shadow Link, does Thunderbird stay dead? Didn't want to find out myself here. Anyways, fine enough game even if it's weird for a Zelda and a bit heavy on the bullshit at times. Onto Link to the Past... which may only take a day or two, given how much I love it and have it memorized. --- UNICLR: Phonon | BBCTB: Orie/Izayoi | Smash Ultimate: Ridley | GBVS: Zeta Arizona Cardinals: Fire Kingsbury. |

| DeathVelvien 07/27/21 3:14:12 PM #8 | The middle third for me was at least held together by its dungeons; it may have actually been my favorite section of the game just for Ancient Cistern and the Sandship. That last third, though, is just the worst sort of padding and is what really cements SS as the worst 3D Zelda. First third is fine. --- UNICLR: Phonon | BBCTB: Orie/Izayoi | Smash Ultimate: Ridley | GBVS: Zeta Arizona Cardinals: Fire Kingsbury. |

Are you playing Four Swords games and Triforce Hetoes?I'll at least be trying Four Swords (which, as it turns out, I do have on my 3DS so I'm good there) and Adventures. I'll probably decide whether or not I'll be doing TH after playing those two. --- UNICLR: Phonon | BBCTB: Orie/Izayoi | Smash Ultimate: Ridley | GBVS: Zeta Arizona Cardinals: Fire Kingsbury. |

| DeathVelvien 07/24/21 2:24:30 AM #14 | The second visits aren't too bad imo, especially since at least two of the areas bring you to completely new locations in them and the best dungeons are at this point. That said, the new areas probably should have been better distinguished from the older areas. The third visits are where it becomes just blatant superfluous padding that should have been dropped. --- UNICLR: Phonon | BBCTB: Orie/Izayoi | Smash Ultimate: Ridley | GBVS: Zeta Arizona Cardinals: Fire Kingsbury. |

Playing the NES games and Link to the Past on the Switch online thing, and most others will be on either the Wii U (VC for Minish Cap and the DS games, HD remasters for WW and TP), 3DS (Oracles and LBW), or Switch (BotW, LA, and SS HD). Still not sure if I'm going to do the N64 games on Wii U VC or their 3DS remakes. --- UNICLR: Phonon | BBCTB: Orie/Izayoi | Smash Ultimate: Ridley | GBVS: Zeta Arizona Cardinals: Fire Kingsbury. |

| DeathVelvien 07/23/21 12:14:35 AM #14 | And second quest is finished. Doozy of a final dungeon, although I think dungeons 5 and 6 were more obnoxious just because less equipment. Going to see if I can find time to start Zelda II tomorrow, though I'm going to be a bit busy. Tyranthraxus posted... Ahem...As much as I hate the bubble + wizrobe combination in later dungeons, I would have hated muggers so much more if I wasn't aware of their existence and prepared by going into each dungeon with 50+ rupees. Absolutely awful mechanic. Tyranthraxus posted... It was a limited time thing but the 3DS released a single player version of Four Swords as a standalone title. You may have to hunt for a used 3DS that has this game already installed.Actually, may have that on my own 3DS and just never played it. Will check soon. YoungMutual posted... Do the N64 version of Majora's Mask pls... I'd also give the edge to the N64 of OoT for nostalgia, but that's your callI do have a bit of a quandary here, as I don't actually have my N64 anymore and presently only own them on 3DS. I could buy them on the Wii U VC I suppose (and really, may do so just to maximize how much Zelda I have on the system). With Ocarina, my plan was to do both normal and master quests, so I could probably do something like normal quest on the original version, master quest on the 3DS. Majora... I'd have to think a bit more about. Might go through on the original hardware, and afterwards fight the 3DS versions of the bosses for comparison. --- UNICLR: Phonon | BBCTB: Orie/Izayoi | Smash Ultimate: Ridley | GBVS: Zeta Arizona Cardinals: Fire Kingsbury. |

You probably know this tip for Zelda 2, but I'll post in case you don't.Ooh, actually never thought of that! Going to keep that in mind; thanks for the tip! Lokison posted... Have fun man. I would, but I cannot stand Zelda 2.Definitely hitting the DS games, iirc they're on the Wii U VC so easily playable. If there's any game that stalls this marathon, though, it'll be Spirit Tracks; never cared much for that one. Going to have to look into how I could play the Four Swords games. I think I have a copy of FSA around, so I could at least give that one a go, but not sure on Four Swords itself. Almost certainly skipping Triforce Heroes though. --- UNICLR: Phonon | BBCTB: Orie/Izayoi | Smash Ultimate: Ridley | GBVS: Zeta Arizona Cardinals: Fire Kingsbury. |

For example, will be playing the Switch version of Link's Awakening after LttP.

| DeathVelvien 07/22/21 12:27:37 AM #44 | The Popo posted... I have a Wii, and I own Prime 3 I just never got around to it. I actually played very little of Prime 2. I started it, played like 90 minutes early on without access to a save spot (and was very aware of it), and then the power went out. My thought was Fuck, Im not replaying all of that, and I never got back around to it. One day I will.There's one right before the first boss (I think the game even pans to the hole that leads to it) and one in the first door you see in the first big room of Agon Wastes. Absolutely no way you should have gone an hour and a half without seeing one. Also iirc one around where you lose your equipment, but that one actually is very easy to miss. Might be misremembering that though. --- UNICLR: Phonon | BBCTB: Orie/Izayoi | Smash Ultimate: Ridley | GBVS: Zeta Arizona Cardinals: Fire Kingsbury. |
