Still getting it, though. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:927639659] in The Link's...

gunplagirl 09/19/19 12:48:25 AM #6:	Godnorgosh posted... There's the length, the framerate, the lack of substantial new content, and from what I've heard, the lack of difficulty. By removing that "only two items" limit (jump feather and shield were for sure confirmed as always equipped, right?) they took away the biggest hurdles to jump through regarding item management. Literally makes it so you can cheese some bosses that you couldn't before since the ideal strategy was like, "hit them with a hookshot then you can sword slash them so you have to dodge manually" and now you can always block the parts that can be blocked, or jump over another part of their attacks without slowing down. --- https://i.imgtc.ws/x2KBsjI.png <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:927642290] in The Link's...

RdVEHfJqAvUPIbk 09/19/19 1:16:42 AM #10:	The game itself is probably the easiest Zelda outside of fighting Blaino and Evil Eagle. And only then because Blaino can knock you to the start if you don't move out of the way fast enough and Evil Eagle can knock you off the tower both reseting the fight. --- https://i.imgtc.ws/ZSMkmi1.jpg <cite>RdVEHfJqAvUPIbk posted [p:927643098] in The Link's...
