Re: Why are we talking about metroids in the Zelda thread?

Post by DoNotDelete »

I like the parts in games where you actually feel something like terror/impending doom - but I've never actually not played a game because of fear of being attacked by metroids or whatever.

I think if you've played Super Metroid you tend to have mixed feelings about metroids anyway - all that stuff with the hatchling tends to leave a lasting impression.

Underwater sections in games do make me feel uncomfortable though - even when you're fully equipped with the Gravity Suit in a Metroid game - being drowned is only an inch of metal away (which is crazy talk anyway because the vacuum of space and alien atmospheres aren't necessarily any less hostile).

I don't think you quite get it.

Ice missiles went through them.

Ice is the only way to stop metroids.

at the time there was not a conceivable thing i could do to stop them and it was not a situation i ever wanted to be in

They've been exposed to so much Phazon that some can actually phase through solid matter. Conserve your ammo and keep shooting with a beam. They'll die from anything you shoot at them if you hit them enough times. Metroids are also unstable during their growth stage if they've just got done feeding on something. The trick to hitting them with Ice Missiles is to memorize their phazing patterns.
Character is what you are in the dark.

God, the introduction to the Metroids is one of my favorite parts of Corruption.
We should make a Metroid thread whenever there is another one of those coming out (several years from now.)

I've never played a Metroid game... Don't mind me, I'll just be in that corner over there wondering what I'm missing.

Could anyone help me with Windwaker? I just booted it up the other day and it says that I have the triforce on the start sign (but I'm sure I haven't collected the pieces) because the master sword isn't powered up? And there's a circle around headstone island but i went there and the door is open (which would mean that I've gotten Medli) but then medli isn't there? I checked the map and it looks like i've explored some of the rooms but not all, so maybe i've got to get her (or the little tree guy and go there)? Idk where i'm up to because i've gotten all of the items too (except the light arrows) so maybe i should check the tower of the gods?

I've also started playing Link's Awakening again. Now that I'm not stuck trying to find gold leaves, I find it much more enjoyable.

Also, the boss in Angler's Tunnel is stupidly easy. I bodaciously didn't take a single hit the entire fight (which took maybe 30 seconds).
