The Legend of Zelda

[Liraxus]

Zelda 2 as a game isn't absolutely horrible, it CAN be beaten, it's just absurdly hard, and requires grinding, but it was still rather innovative for its time, it did the same thing as Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden, but added RPG elements, I don't know many games that did that before for the NES.

I'm using savestates because otherwise there is an obscene amount of walking due to them archaic design sensibilities

The combat is really good tho

[Liraxus]

It's basically the two games mentioned before but with actual control than strutting.

Then again, Strutting is a part of Castlevania

gotta strut fast

So, there's an alternate Hyrule in Link Between Worlds called Lorule

Did

Did they really just do that

[FlyingGiraffe]

You forgot about Lorule's dark haired princess, Hilda! She's nothing like Zelda nuh uh nope doesn't even sound similar. I love alternate universes like this.

*blink*

Thats such an old joke... not even the 90s Zelda kidshow used it they knew it was so old.

That takes real courage to put in a terrible joke like that XD

[Kamak]

It's an interesting concept though. A Hyrule without a hero that fell into ruin as Hyrule prospered. And now, because of the villain (I'm assuming), now both worlds are at risk.

The glimpses of music and story reminds me a lot of ALttP (duh) and Spirit Tracks, which is definitely a good thing in my books.

[shazza]

so it's essentially tales of symphonia


i thought lorule was brilliant but i have the sense of humour of a 10yr old. lady ganondorf looks pretty rad though

Just saw the new trailer. What ever happened to "And the Master Sword sleeps again...FOREVER!"? Yes, I know it was in the Oracle games, but there it was more like an easter egg, rather than part of the overall story. Zelda's getting kidnapped again, joy. And is that supposed to be a Rule 63 Ganondorf? And the alternate world is called Lorule? Seriously?

Then I heard the ALttP main theme, and now I'm hyped again.

You know what would've actually been an interesting twist, as long as they're going with the female Ganondorf? Having a Prince Link and a heroine named Zelda in the alternate world or something along those lines. Yes, it would be a bit cliche, but I just want to see Zelda take some action outside of the final battle.

My brother got a thing for his birthday. I'm mostly surprised since we already have the Wii U digital version but hey whatever, I'm not complaining.

Playing through Minish Cap again, and CONFESSION TIME: I don't really like it all that much. The combat feels kind of clunky to me, and being somewhat of a completionist, it drives me bat crap insane that parts of some of the side quests stop becoming available after certain story events take place. I'M LOOKING AT YOU, KINSTONE PIECES. It's not a bad game, but it's probably one of my least favorite Zelda games.

[Winchester]

Minish Cap is my favorite of the 2D games but yeah the side quests are kinda ridiculous

I've played through it several times and have never completed everything

[Operation Awesome]

Everyone except Destructoid has given LBW a 9/10 or higher.

Hell yes motherfucker

[Madican]

You mean like 3/4's of all games get because gaming journalism/reviews are a joke?
