I have a scary urge to play through that game again now.

[SimeSublime]

It was good, but I think I can resist. I already have a pile of games building up. Out of curiosity, what brought this topic up?

Yahtzee's update.

I've never played it, or ocarina of time. I'm not really a nintendo man myself. I was originally a follower of the cult known as Sega until they were exterminated in the gaming crusades and I converted to the church of Sony. However I really liked an Nintendo LCD game and watch thing (Anyone remember those?) called Zelda that was completely and utterly brilliant. No great shakes compared to a normal Zelda game, no great shakes compared to any normal game, but for a LCD game it fucking ruled. You had to fight your way through a maze like dungeon, colecting potions and stuff on the way. There was even end of level bosses. Anyone else played it?

That was a great article. It was impossible not to think that temple looked like a giant penis, no matter how much you wanted to pretend it didn't.

[Rhubarb]

It's probably not such a great article when you've listened to him giggling about penises for the last week. It's an ace game though, even taking into account its abysmal shortness and sodding fetchquests.

Well, I dunno about no whacky LCD game, but it sounds like every Zelda game every made ever in the history of history. I've played all of them except the N64 ones because the emulator won't work (and that platformer SNES one but let's not go into that). I even played that horrible GBA Minish Cap one although it almost destroyed me.

Oh, and here's a for all of you... although I take no responsibility for those who actually accept it.

Well excuuuuuuuuuuuse me, Princess! :D

NO SMILEYS! NO! BAD!

May I just say that these forums are shit and I had to edit my post four times because of my link converting itself into bloody HTML and the smileys being autodefault.

It was a great game, that's for sure. Though it did have its flaws. I think I was in the minoirty in actually preferring the cartoon-like feel rather than the quasi-realistic look of the two previous Zelda games.

One thing I didn't like was that you never had any shortage of anything. If you were low on rupees you could just slash bushes for tw minutes and you'd be COMPLETELY full. Low on bombs, do the same. Arrows? Same. No matter what you needed you could immediately fill up to 100% almost instantly. Why even bother having limits?

I didn't think it was too terribly short. Definitely short compared to OoT. That game seemed like a hundred hours to me. Was it just me?

[Dr Lecter]

But OoT was legendary, its just about the undisputed best game on the N64, and top runner for best game of all time. Its unfair to compare a game to one of the best games ever.

[Rhubarb]

Yeah, apparently it's like bringing up Hitler in a political debate.

[Rhubarb]

And yeah, I didn't like that either. I never had to buy bombs or arrows or anything. It was kind of pointless.

What I meant by shortness was that it was five bosses/dungeons instead of eight (one of the dungeons being used twice) followed by a looooooong treasure hunt for stupid triforce pieces. I just expected more. When I realised I was off to fight the last boss, I was like, 'what, is that it?'.

That waddling jingling turnip was mighty cute though.

If you take what you said with what I said, it implies that you just expressed you're belief in nazism.

[floppydisk]

I didn't like the game. Too short, cartoon, blah blah blah. Same reasons you've all heard a zillion billion times already. But what I'm curioous about is how long did it take for YZ to write all that. And how in the hell did he think it up?

[Rhubarb]

Uh. What?

It took him an evening. And I'd imagine he thought it up the usual way.

And the WW art style was awesome, you are just a philistine.

I liked the monsters and buildings, but not the people. They look like idiots.
