Yeah, sometimes too much!

I gotta be careful with how much time I play it. It's addicting. Back in the day, I'd often find myself neglecting my real life to play that game (which I must admit is a whole lot more exciting than my life). ha

The one Zelda game that always brings me back is Link's Awakening for gameboy. Yeah, it was for gameboy, but it was my first Zelda.

It's kinda like your first album: it may suck, but it's still your first album.


This is kinda off topic(ish) but does anyone play the Elder Scrolls games? Oblivion has gotta be the greatest thing I've ever played. Pure beauty.
What's wrong with being cute? Many of my favorite games fall into that category.

Today we have all kinds of games that try to be "badass" and Nintendo wanted to do something different with the series, if the Wind Waker was all "badass" it wouldn't have standed out as much visually. Besides, WW isn't really any more cutesy than the original or LTTP or Link's Awakening, it's more like a return to form than anything.

Anyone who is gonna turn down a game just for looking cutesy is an idiot. A lot of Nintendo games are cutesy looking but are also very inspired and interesting in the visual department, Super Mario Galaxy looked great, so did Wind Waker. I also prefer older video games not just for the gameplay but aesthetically 8 and 16 bit graphics have a lot of charm and appeal to me, and the music was better too.

Also, Link's Awakening by no means sucks, it's still one of the strongest and most underappreciated games in the series. Great gameplay and a sense of humor.

Nothing's wrong with being cute. That was the point.

And i didn't necessarily say Link's Awakening sucked. I said, like a first album, it may suck. Or one may just suck at playing it... I never did get out of that very first town. I was always more of a Pokemon guy. yep.

There wasn't a Link's Awakening equivalent for a more high powered console was there? Gameboy games (no matter how "strong") have their limitations.

Nope, Link's Awakening was a Game Boy exclusive.

It's not that hard (though I think I know where you got stuck at, it's the forest with the racoon guy right?) but it's hella fun.

I'd also recommend The Minish Cap for the GBA, the closest to a true LTTP sequel as you're ever gonna get.

Wind Waker doesn't look like a game for toddlers at all to me. It maintains the feel of the original game (which is fairly cutesy), unlike Twilight Princess which looks like it's trying to foist some kind of pseudo-grittiness on a decidedly un-gritty game series.
It's hard to describe the aesthetic of original when it was limited to like 8 pixels on screen.

I actually prefer a darker zelda. The twilight world was pretty cool in TP. And i loved how trippy Majora's Mask was.

I didn't really like the enemies in Wind Waker. Also a lot of the series standard characters (Gorons, Zora's etc) were replaced with less-cool looking people.

I did like how Wind Waker gave Ganandorf a little more backstory and motivation for why he's so evil.

I think they should make a remake of ALTTP, with new graphics.

Anything. For example I have one that lets me Summon a Dragon that I can ride anywhere throughout the game. Another is a ton more weapons and **** like that.
