FrozenBananas posted... Yall can talk big all you want but you were pissing your pants back in 1998! Not really (at least not for me). Ocarina is actually a huge part of why I stopped caring about Zelda (and Nintendo) as a whole (and why I've never really looked back since). By the time it came out I'd already jumped ship to the PS1, and I thought most N64 games both looked and played like ass. Not helped by the fact that I thought the N64 controller was an abomination spawned in Satan's bowels. The only reason I don't consider it the worst controller ever made is because the Intellivision existed, and that one would literally cut your thumbs. 3D Zelda and 3D Mario were huge turn-offs for me. To me they looked bad, they played bad, and they kind of changed the entire dynamic of the original games (in a bad way) by adding the extra axis. Zelda wasn't helped by the fact that I thought the story was kind of lame (and it was around the start of the "Why the fuck do Zelda games make no sense?" era of questioning the overall timeline). I didn't like it then, I have zero nostalgia for it now.

That's the only thing the game does well, unfortunately. I was so bummed when I watched the trailer for TotK. It looks like BotW 2. I feel like the only people who liked BotW were under the age of 20 when it released and didn't actually play any older Zelda titles. I don't know why Nintendo is pandering to such a small demographic. Needless to say, I won't be picking up a copy of Tears. I'm voting with my wallet. @Nichtcrawler-X said it best: BotW is a decent game, but it isn't Zelda. I don't want to play another game that takes place in an dead world with no real dungeons, no plot, and weapons that break more easily than they would in real life. Wandering around for hours in a massive empty field, with nothing but a stick made out of paper is not my idea of fun. --- 7700X \| 4090 Gaming X Trio \| 32GB DDR5 6000 \| X670E Aorus Master \| 4TB SN850X \| 1000W A1000G ATX3.0 \| Win11 \| 65" LG C1 OLED http://imgur.com/KaTyP5o.jpg <cite>Psythik posted [p:971826689] in 25 years l...

I don't know why Nintendo is pandering to such a small demographic. Well, it is illegal for Nintendo to say how many copies the game sold so we'll never know how well it did. But the fact that nobody talks about BotW or compares any more recent games to it tells you all you need to know about the impact it had. They should give the license back to Phillips so they can really get the franchise back on track instead of wasting everyone's time. <cite>SomeUsername529 posted [p:971833856] in 25 years l...

Poe's Law is a powerful force, sometimes.
