Be Excellent To Each Other

That's why I think it's a shame that I didn't play it years ago. I doubt I'll think it's The Best Game of All Time by today's standards.

If you're the type of person who has fond memories of OoT and remember locations and guff though, you'll surely get loads out of BOTW and more than me. It's a super game for those who haven't played though but I wish I could have been riding around and stumbling into the ruins of some place I'd visited in the early games and experienced the melancholy.

There are updates for OOT and MM for the 3ds which do update some of the camera issues but while they were mind blowing at the time a lot of what they did really well has been copied over and over

If you played them before you'll probably still like them , for a newbie I think you'd get bored with them (whereas I think the overhead ones like ALTTP and MC hold up a lot more now)

Have you played *any* Metroid or Castlevania ?

Metroid in particular I think would be something you'd really enjoy

Weird for a gamer not to have played these games, init.

I've never played a 2D Metroid!

I've played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (awesome sauce), OG Castlevania (Yawn) and Castlevania: Lords of whatever it was (Really good actually).

What's on your list of things "games people always talk about but you've never played"?

Sounds like a good idea for a thread!

I've played Ocarina of Time a few times recently and apart from the fact that the graphics are shit stretched out on a massive screen it's still an awesome game.

Final Fantasy

Yeah but which :-)

I really liked II on the SNES (american so was actually FFIV)

And yeah i think a separate thread would make more sense than cluttering up the Zelda one

All of them

Pre-ordered a switch yesterday with my overdraft like a responsible adult yay.

Switch arrived yesterday. Played 10 hours of Zelda in one sitting.

I REALLY suck at it. I don't know whether it's because I've not really been into many games lately or whether it's just harder but I have died about 10 times, despite the fact that I can get through Ocarina of Time etc without dying more than once or twice. Most of the deaths have been me falling off really high things (sometimes forgetting to take out the glidey thingy). Still enjoying it so far though. Thankful for the autosave.

You will die a lot but that's not a bad thing. The autosaves are quite generous.

We need to share friend codes!

I realise I'm late to this conversation but I've been playing this for a few solid days now and blimey but I think it may be the best game I've ever played on any system. I'm sure sober recollection will prove me wrong and I'll happily plump for Cities Skylines or something as actually being my wonderous favouritist but yeah... wow.

Past Vision was right all along.

I've started playing Hyrulw warriors: age of calamity

Which is an entirely different game (Much fighting) , but set in the past events. Hoping it will continue to be good.

After all my initial excitement and eagerness we finally got a Switch (for the kids) for Christmas and then in Jan picked up Zelda BOTW.

It was worth the (long) wait and I'm really enjoying it, fabulous game. Hyrule really seems like a living place with people coming and going.
