When did you realize that this is the best Zelda game?

When did you realize that this is the best Zelda game?

Never because it isn't.

It's not even the best spin off Zelda. That goes to OoS/OoA

don't listen to this faggot OP, Link's Awakening is a masterpiece

not flawless though, all it needs is faster text skipping and it'd be a perfect game

Best? Not sure. Too many differing views.

But it is easily my favourite.

It was good at the time, but try replaying it and see how limited it feels. Its so empty and lifeless because its for the basic ass gameboy.

That being said, I still miss the game due to nostalgia, but nostalgia doesnt make games good. If you were playing any other game at that age you would be fawning over that instead.

>can't enjoy a Gameboy game
bruh i think the problem might be you

>bets zelda
>not majoras mask or OOT

Your comprehension is horrendous

real talk why won't the let Koizumi return to Zelda? He gave us 2 masterpieces in his time with it. Is Aonuma afraid of being outclassed?

People still think DX was an improvement? I guess all text becoming unskippable and slower loading menus are nothing compared to pretty colors.

Not sure. Probably around the time I played Twilight Princess. I distinctly remember feeling like a retard for buying a Wii for that trash, and then I pulled out my old GBC and replayed LA.

I don't think I even finished that one.

> Aonuma afraid of being outclassed?
probbaly. its painfully obvious that Koizumi was the one responsible for the 2 N64 masterpieces

Bruh I can barely enjoy GBA games. I WANT TO LIKE THEM, BUT THEY FEEL SO SIMPLE.

On that note, most shit for the 3ds and beyond is gimmiky 3d and touchscreen controls so I cant enjoy those for other reasons.

I just want to play simple 2games but without dog dick graphics and 8x8 pixel textboxes

MM is the best 3D Zelda.
LA is the best __ Zelda.

I replay it regularly, and I definitely think it still holds up. It has great dungeons, great bosses, and a really neat little world. It's small compared to other Zelda games, but it's still fun as hell to play.

This is probably one of the single most "Im a hipster" sounding alarms in all of gaming. Anyone who says this didnt play, nor did they play much of anything.

bat, stalfos, pol's voice

I guess we just have to wait for Miyamoto to die so Koizumi can replace him, then he can fire Aonuma or move him to something else.

Will this look like shit on a 3ds?

It looks fine.

the oracle games are much better, as is minish cap and a link between worlds

But it's entirely outclassed by OoA. It can't be the best Zelda game.

Seasons is better than Ages, but Ages has best girl.

Precisely at that scene in the ruins where you speak to the owl.
Just thinking about it gives me chills every time.

Where does minnish cap fit in? I tried playing that recently but i was going bored as fuck. The big/tiny thing is gimmicky as fuck and theres really no point to it. You'll go tiny then only have a single path to travel, so theres no new possibilities opened up.

Suppose an O is a tree that changes you from big/tiny, - is a tiny path, = is a big path

O====O-----O====O----O


What the fuck kind of design is that?
O

>the oracle games are much better
lol
they practically stole everything from LA

but Oracle of Seasons is superior in just about every way

I had the opposite reaction. Seasons was more derivative of Zelda 1 / LA but Din is best girl.

they stole graphics and nothing else and made 2 much better games

LA is good but it's the fucking hipster pick for the "best" 2D Zelda. It's really fucking annoying to hear LA get praised constantly when the Oracle games does everything it does except better.
>Ring system adds an completely new layer of depth to 2D Zelda, resulting in tons of customization and variance in play styles.
>Double the content. 16+ dungeons, 2+ overworlds, shittons of collectibles and items, etc.
>Linking system was innovative and gave huge incentives towards replayability
>Some of the best dungeons in the entire 2D series.
>Easily the toughest 2D Zeldas.

I got stuck on the second or third dungeon because of a specific room back when I was a kid.

Is it even worth playing? I remember liking it but thinking it was confusing.

>new items that never existed in LA
>story that takes nothing from LA
>characters that were never existed in LA

what did he mean by this?

>spin off DLC games as the best ones.
no

>sequels to a game reuse assets
Wow what an original thought. I guess Majora's Mask is shit now too because it reuses a bunch of stuff from OOT.

Wind Waker wasn't THAT crappy

The graphics alone made it a no-buy for me.

Explain what makes the Oracle games better than LA?

>spinoff DLC

are you retarded?

better bosses
more items
better central gimmick (time travel/change of season
OoS had god tier dungeons
better music
better graphics

When I first played it it felt extremely half-baked and when I played it later my impression didn't change. It's got the most underwhelming overworld, Hyrule, and dungeons of any 3D Zelda game I've played.

No, it definitely was. It's the worst 3D Zelda game and the trends it began have poisoned the entire franchise ever since. The 2D games in particular have suffered from "its twoon wink!"

I've been playing it on the 3DS because I somehow never picked up the original. It's a ton of fun, but there a few things that make it clunky. Switching between items can get annoying, but I understand that's just due to limitations on the gameboy.

The green obstacles you break with the Pegasus boots are annoying too. Even after you get the boots the text box pops up reminding you need to find something to break them.

meh, bastion was better.

>It's the worst 3D Zelda game

same universe,a little modifications in the story and dungeon and that's it. if the game was legend of zelda and the 3 oracles where you can choose 3 main story,that would be great,but they chopped it off in 2 pieces(it would be 3) and charged each of them full game price.

Winda Waker is bad

I'd argue the shovelware DS games were the worst 3d zeldas. Then again, its isometric so I suppose it doesnt count

LAfags and MMfags are so hilariously pretentious it hurts. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they're literally the same people.

This. I had my problems with Wind Waker but at least it HAD an overworld, you can't even say that much for Squidward's Bored.

Why don't you explain what makes LA better than the Oracles?

Oh that's right, you can't because LA is outdated mechanically in every way.

Wind Waker is great, it only has one annoying mechanic and a stupid twist as its downsides.

Everyone expected more from Twilight Princess. The original things it did were great, but most of the game was shout-outs, so they missed a lot of chances there.

Overall, both of them are fun, but lackluster. Twilight Princess is more mediocre than Wind Waker.

I never played the oracle games that's why I asked ya idiot

LA had better original story and the best waifu in all Zelda games.

MM is miles better than LA

>the DS games were bad
when will this meme finally die?

This.

Besides pokemon I dont think there was a single good DS game.

On that note, when will the meme meme die?

lol, try to write the story in over 5 full sentences. I fucking dare you lmao

That's why he said "mechanically", numbnuts.

Not OP but that guy is just a douche. Ignore him.

The Oracle games are subpar LA derivatives that never stray too far from its source material and have hallmarks of its design everywhere you go. It is true that they add in replay value and randomization factor. But those things don't actually amount to much. For instance, it's not like you can pull a broken ring early in the game and say playing through it by punching enemies while regenerating health like some kind of Zelda version of Ys. There's a scaling system. Personally I find Ages to be the worst Zelda in the series alongside Skyward Sword. Seasons is more redeemable because it has four Seasons and an alternate world. But neither of them have the intrigue, challenge, or atmosphere of LA. Like there's no characters, items, or dungeons that really stick with you like in Koholint.

Not old enough to have been alive when LA came out.

taste this shit should be illegal

Thanks user

Well memed, friend. The hating on pokemon meme is alive and strong!

you can get expert's ring from the soil patch outside dungeon 1 of ages, and heart ring from maple anytime, so you're wrong about the rings
>hallmarks of la design
they use some of the same sprites, but that's the only similarity
>no characters, items, or dungeons that really stick with you like in Koholint
nice opinion nerd

No, it's shit because it has terrible dungeons and garbage bosses.

Oot, MM, WW, TP are the only Zeldas worth finishing.

My favoirite after the N64 Zeldas

I think the only bad aspect is that now pretty much every future zelda is guaranteed cell-shaded graphics

TWEWY and the KH and mega man games were great actually on DS.

Best 2D Zelda game that's for sure.

That's not Oracle of Ages.
