Feels like a game boy game. The high reviews convinced me to buy it. I guess people are nostalgic for the original and the new update excited them. I never played the original.

Re: Zelda Games
Yeah. I loved Link to The Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, and then didn't play any til Breath of The Wild, which I also loved. I think I'll play Link to The Past next and see if it holds up for me. I guess you're implying Link's Awakening is a typical Zelda game. You might be right. Maybe my tastes have changed or I grew tired of the formula. We'll see.Monkey_Driven wrote:Do you generally like Zelda games?tree_ wrote:It was somewhat fun. Boss fights were too easy.

Just curious. I've been reluctant to pick it up for the price too, but I really try to not judge games based solely on hours played/cost.tree_ wrote:Yeah.

Link's Awakening holds up really well, especially with save states.

Re: Zelda Games
I'm not judging it on hours played. It didn't feel worth the price. It just didn't really grab me. I never felt very invested in the story or anything. I just started Link to The Past again and I already like this a lot more.Monkey_Driven wrote:Just curious.

Re: Zelda Games
As I said earlier in this thread, it is by far the shortest and easiest core Zelda game. Dungeon Builder was a bit of a disappointment. Still a must play for a Zelda fan.tree_ wrote:I'm not judging it on hours played. It didn't feel worth the price. It just didn't really grab me. I never felt very invested in the story or anything.

Re: Zelda Games
Kinda agree.. easy isn't the word when it comes to boss fights.. like I demolished every boss instantly except for the end guy because I wasn't sure how to harm him at first (when I found out I crushed him too)Monkey_Driven wrote:Do you generally like Zelda games?tree_ wrote:It was somewhat fun.

There were some cool puzzles that took me a little to figure out but nothing too terrible
It didn't feel laborious at all.. I liked the searching part

Re: Zelda Games
It wound up being a major test of strength I discovered early, had my ass kicked at, and then fucked off and forgot about. I got the bike last week. There are probably 30 side quests I could do, but other than outfit upgrades and korok seeds, I guess I’m done. I could never do the master sword thing where you fight for 50 levels. And really, why bother at this point anyway? I wish the game wasn’t so backloaded with shit. It’’d be nice to have stuff along the way.daft twat wrote:At 119 shrines. Ugh.

Re: Zelda Games
Yeah they could have incorporated more "side quest" type things that you need to complete in order to eventually beat Ganon.
