Why do girls pretend to like zelda games?

Because Zelda games are for girls.

wtf im a girl now

>why do girls eager for attention latch on to the most popular, entry-level title that garners the most attention and that everyone recognizes?
gee i wonder

Just to fuck with you. There's no way they could understand Zelda on such a deep, emotional level as you.

But they pretend to, just to piss you off.

link is a cute boy who does cute things

bcuz he looks like qt from lord the rings xd

Why are Sup Forumsirgins so scared of girls?

They aren't pretending. Like the weeb and the manchild, girls are very susceptible to Japanese Mahou (Magic). Japan is secretly brainwashing Westerners and creating sleeper agents with video games like Zelda for when the next world war comes.

Because Ocarina of Time is often lauded as the best game of all time

What's wrong with any of this?

She's a woman-child, Sup Forums as a bunch of man-children should be able to understand exactly how she feels. It's a game seris she likes with an idealized husbndo she desires and idealized princess she wants to be.

because
>bitches love monarchies
>hot elf dude

because girls are just as good at video games as boys

why does this make Sup Forums so angry?

why don't they like mario then?

is it because he's a fat manlet?

>woman-child
That's redundant

why don't girls have penis?

>why don't they like mario then?
Because there was too much water in the water world.

Because the art is cute and it's fun if you don't play many games? In all honesty, everyone pretends to like Zelda for easy "gamer cred" even though it's a mediocre series consistently plagued by shallow combat and puzzle design, recycled ideas and bland music.

They do, it's hidden near the fourth hole.

If Zelda is a "mediocre series" what's a series that does it better?

I bet she didn't even play the game

Dark Souls

Mega Man Legends. At least as far as the 3D Zeldas go.

Because Link.
Hell, he seems to be the reason a lot of straight men play the games recently.
Not me though.

mario takes a modicum of skill that they don't have
its basically impossible to be bad at zelda

They arn't even the same type of game. The only similarity is some sort of melee combat focus. Dark Souls has almost no adventuring elements.

It's even stupider if you consider half of Zelda games are 2D.

Isn't legends more comparable to Metroid Prime? Apart from that I think the big failing of MML and the big success of Zelda is the world. People remember the locations and world of Hyrule, they stick with you. It's an experience. You can't say as much about MML.

A big part of it was you can interact with the world in neat ways, say changing the weather or the flow of time.

Dark Souls has a lot of adventure and exploration - do you mean puzzles? Yeah it doesn't have puzzles; if you want the full Zelda experience, just play Dark Souls and do a book of children's brain teasers on the side

It depends on how you slice it. Legends has a lot in common with OoT, though. A fairly open overworld, dungeons, a great cast. I'd say it's much closer to OoT than Prime.

The original is an entirely memorable location, Kattleox island and the huge interconnected dungeon are fantastic. The sequel not so much, though. I loved it but I can only sorta remember the winter town and the desert town.

>Dark Souls has almost no adventuring elements.

I'm sorry, but wut? The people acting like Zelda isn't an exceptional series are clearly joking, but Dark Souls is one of the few things that actually offers a total experience in the same class as Zelda and is actually more willing to hide entire areas as secrets than any Zelda game I'm aware of.

Now, Dark Souls does specifically lack the in depth world interaction that Zelda has, as you pointed out, and which is the key defining feature of the series. But Dark Souls is ridiculously influenced by Zelda in countless ways and I'm questioning if you've played it at all given that it is so heavily exploration focused.

Mario doesn't have the same kind of aesthetic as Zelda. Plus, they do love Mario, they just don't *FUCKING* love Mario

>But they pretend to, just to piss you off.

Frickin' teases, they deserve a rough and thorough dicking for being so cheeky.

You really seem brainless. I'm starting to think that you don't even know what certain words mean.

namely "full" "experience" "adventure" and "medicore"

It seems like your whole arguement is "Dark Souls is difficult. It's melee comba t focuased. Zelda has melee combat but it's easier. Therefor it's better"

attention

Same guy here.

Dark Soul is basically a dungeon crawler. It's the successor to King's Field which is an Ultima Underworld clone. Basicallyit's a dungeon crawler that has Monster Hunter combat (energy focused and slow)

Zelda is not a dungeon crawler, it has big open worlds with occasional dungeons and lots of ways to interact with the world. It's not a combat focused game like Dark Souls. That's why the combat itself has had so many fucking form changes. Zelda 1, Zelda 2, and Ocarina all have completly different combat modes and it doesn't matter. Zelda is about exploring and using items to interact with the world. It was only a combat-focused game in the first 2 games, so the guy bringing up Dark Souls combat is an idiot.

I think you brought up a point. MML does hve some good areas. People put Zelda on a pedestal because it consistently has memorable areas, and because it's all shared universe it really adds this sense of biggness and grand history. Pretty much the only Zelda games to not have memorabl worlds were the first 2 ...and maybe some obscure handheld one.

Hell even the CD-I games were pretty memorable...

why do you pretend to like girls?

I dont think she is pretending.

Just for your information, there is more than just one Zelda game.

Again, I'm pretty certain you straight up havn't played Dark Souls and only know it through git gud memes, given that you don't immediately associate the main appeal of the game with adventuring.

You do get that the fanbase of Dark Souls by and large consider its world design to be its greatest quality, and the combat to be a secondary and more minor aspect, right?

>so the guy bringing up Dark Souls combat
Dude, you're the one bringing up the combat here. You clearly just wikied that and aren't even denying that you never played it. Souls is structured more like Metroid than Zelda, but it's extremely exploration focused and has a fully integrated world, just one mostly without the puzzles and large open areas typical of Zelda.

why do girls pretend to like video games?

Why are Dark Souls fans so zealous? What do they even see in it? At the end of the day it's just King's Field for brainlets... I don't get it.

jesus fuck

Point about the Dark Souls world is it's not as interacble as the Zelda world. You get a few lines from NPCs or you open a locked door.

You get something like the hookshot, now you can interact in brand new ways. You can change the weather to travel through time. You can get on a horse or which completely changes how you move. The puzzles are almost all easy but they make the world feel more alive.

I think though the biggest advantage Zelda has over Souls is the variety of locations. it also has this huge mythology built up over so many games. The Master Sword is special.

Souls is definitely up there in terms of world quality though.

My wife genuinely loves Zelda and has beaten most of them. But she refuses to play the first 4, the oracles, and minish cap. Stupid scrub wife.

I didn't bring it up, the dude I was responding to did. Zelda absolutely has memorable locations, but everyone who plays MML remembers Kattleox island fondly. It's a very well built world.

>But she refuses to play the first 4
But OOT is Zelda 4, isn't that the normie go-to?

I think what it comes down to is the only world interaction Souls has is combat. Even the items you find are all have almost no use beyond combat, minus finding a key or two every once on a while.

Zelda 1
Zelda 2
LA
ALTTP

That's right. She refuses those ones (1 and 2 I can understand today), but ALTTP and LA despite LOVING ALBW? The fuck, wife.

Girls have more refined tastes than us OOGA BOOGA men. It's practically a necessary craft for their survival to know how to do make-up and whatnot. So from a very early age they develop the faculties for creative thinking and realize what's important. What are we doing at that time and over the course of our lives? Thumping our chests and arguing over whose right about this and that technicality.

Girls don't care about the bullshit, and just know that Zelda games are the best. It's called intuition.

That girl you like in your 7th period isn't your wife.

The combat can be shallow but everything else you said is bullshit. It has great puzzles and music. Name me a better puzzle franchise. Inb4 some random one-off steam game

Ya got me, friend

Totally different types of game/genre. Good job you outed yourself as a casual.

Not everything is a lesson in sociology. Sometimes things just have wide appeal across a lot of demos because they're good.

>Girls don't care about the bullshit, and just know that Zelda games are the best. It's called intuition.

This is actually, unironically the case. The Zelda community is the one gaming fanbase in which a large number of girls can actually, legitimately have in depth conversations about the series, and this has been the case for years.

I think they have refined taste in aestetics. Women are more attuned to that than us men because for them aestetics is a weapon.

They have poor judgement on mechanics and mechanical heavy games are rarely their favorites. For instance very skill intensive action games, or games of deep tactics/strategy. If a girl like a tactics or strategy game it's probably with very good aestetics for instance Fire Emblem, SE games, or Age of Mythology. Chances are she won't be very investesd in the skill side of it.

^
this is a good example. She refuses to play the most skill intensive ones. 1&2 are also very ugly in aestetics.

There are exceptions but there are extremly rare and seem to always have a feeling of them being a little off. I knew I girl that played yugioh at a national level.

then why the fuck does anyone give a shit about dark souls 2 or 3? world design my ass

Only recent Zelda fans (2009-present) are like this. The old Zelda fangirls only draw Link with their thin self-inserts being carried by him or they write fanfiction. They didn't have to be tryhards with Zelda, they were just gamers who happened to be girls.

>I consider series x mediocre then who don't follow my shittaste must be pretending to like series x 'cos they're starving for moral support and tribal approbation

I can't remember if I ever sold anything to her, it's been a long time since I put rare Zelda shit on ebay. I do know her from somewhere though, so it must have been ebay.

Do people here genuinely think everything women do is fake?

Is this some kind of weird beta shit or what?

We have dudes here who unironically love ponies, dick, and anime dress up.
Is it that hard to beleive that a woman could be like that too?

>zelda
>good
pick one

It's half shitposting and half retards from the random boards, same as race comments you see on Sup Forums.

people on this board are unironically self-named Sup Forumsirgins
let that sink in

Worth putting up with it for cosplay sluts

>Go to con
>Botw Zelda Cosplay complete with yoga pants
>Have to fight the urge to slap her butt.

Anyone have pics of girls dresses as Link?

The Legend of Zelda is the Beatles of gaming. They are the most prolific series/band in their medium but if you see someone with a triforce or abbey road shirt you know they are a filthy casual with disgustingly pedestrian taste

It's because women are new to their hobby since the PlayStation and Xbox brands broke home console gaming into the mainstream. This attracts people who were too closeted about liking gaming to admit it before it became more socially acceptable, and of course fake people who just want attention. Zelda happens to be one of those series that appeals to the fake people because it's easy enough for people to actually play it and not get game overs constantly. Half of accusing people of being fake is projecting insecurities, but the other half is genuinely exposing fakes who would never touch a hobby had it not become mainstream.

Honestly it's just because Link is attractive.
Girls like hot guys and cute things, Zelda, Pokemon, and Animal Crossing fill those caregories.

How does this explain tetris or rhythm games.

What a poser

Why assume women are pretending to like Zelda? The Zelda games are super casual friendly and it's known throughout mainstream media.

Girls like music, and tetris is just appealing to everyone, even my grandma would like tetris.

Cause want to be the Zelda for their precious bishonen Link

Maybe they just actually love the game, you stupid autistic virgin fanboy. Get a life.

there're dweeb stinky female out there, for sure. But let's turn our eyes off to that fact the VG was hijacked by people who don't know how to deal w 2 thumbsticks, mostly from the gender.

Tits or GTFO.

I bet she doesnt even play zelda

I fucking love these, please post more.
