Ok I’m completely bewildered and lost and confused.
I know this one is completely different to the format I’m used to but it’s proving to be a whole lot more difficult to come to grips with than I thought.

I will persevere. With the aid of a comprehensive walkthrough by my side. Only for reference. Not for complete cheat sheet

I started playing A Link to the Past the other day for the very first time.

Jealous. I think that’s my favourite one. It was my first.
But it’s just so brilliant.

[Monkey_Driven]

And I'm jealous of you playing Breath of the Wild for the first time!

And the original game (no Zelda crossover) is super cheap on the EShop right now as well.

How supercheap? On a side note, is Hollow Knight worth $7.50?

I believe it is less than $5.

Yes, a resounding yes. Hollow Knight was one of the best games I played last year.

My review:
Hollow Knight
What an absolute gem. In a genre that has seen hundreds of titles over the years this one is in the top tier. The art style is evocative, moody, but with enough variety to distinguish each area of the map. The gameplay is challenging, but fair. Some bosses tested me, but could be beaten once their patterns were understood. The simple mechanic of choosing to use your meter to either heal or unleash special attacks is implemented perfectly and should be duplicated in other titles. The backtracking, a staple of the genre, never felt like a chore. It allows the player to seek out upgrades and characters. The pacing is good. This is a game I will revisit.

Wow, I suck at this. I died on every screen. One thing’s for sure, I ain’t got rhythm.

I played the OG on the Vita and it's hard because you almost have to have headphones in so you can hear the beat well. Like, the distance the sound travels from the speakers to your ears is too far for timing issues. I had the same problem with Rock Band on the PSP, I dunno.

[Monkey_Driven]

Cadence of Hyrule definitely has my interest.

[CopperTom]

I am considering turning beat mode off. But it kinda defeats the purpose.

I am enjoying A Link to the Past noticeably more than my revisit of Ocarina of Time.

It's all new for you. You probably have Ocarina memorized like the back of your head.

I only played Ocarina once before. The open world always seemed so bare, even back in the 90s.

How many times have you seen the back of your head?
