/vr/ - Retro Games

I wouldn't mind if it took place in a dream because it's pretty fucking surreal, even for a Zelda game.

At the same time, part of me likes it when silly shit is real and canon to an otherwise serious universe.

The games where Zelda was the main character could be an illusion that Zelda had after taking many drugs while she was waiting for Link to save him.

I'm wondering, could the CD-i game have been decent? For example, you could hack the first few Zelda games to make them resemble these games? The NES games have better mechanics than the CD-i games, not to mention controller, so they could've been decent if they were competently programmed.

With the limited budget and deadline they had if they were focusing into making only one game maybe we would see something decent. Remember the cancelled Super Mario's Wacky Worlds? It looked quite well-made.

I wonder what's for dinner

CD-i Zelda games are one of the few things that would benefir from a gritty, darker reboot.

There is no Zelda timeline, go away.

Was the second Zelda CD-I game as bad as the former?I know the one starring Zelda was awful, but wasn't there a second one on the CD-I starring Link? Was it as bad?

In general I like the idea of rebooting bad games to be better. I understand why they do remakes of good games (Marketability), but I think it would be interesting to see a remake of a terrible one, considering there is actually much to be improved.

Gee it sure is boring around here

>>1152617
There were 3 and they were all terrible.

Hyrule Historia says otherwise. Three branches which start in OOT.

If there's one good thing that Zelda CD-i games did is that for a change they made Zelda as the main character. Sure, in later games (like Spirit Tracks) Zelda had a more active role instead of being the damsel in distress but still it wouldn't hurt to see a spin-off being the main character. Nintendo did it with Princess Peach and it worked fine (despite the complains of some faggots for being too easy and sexist). Heck, even Tingle has his own games, so why not Zelda? And give some action for King Harkinian as well. It would be awesome to see a king taking the lead instead of relying to others just like in the beginning of Dragon Quest 5.

you autismos crack me up

>>1152740
I hear their voices.

>>1152740
Be more specific instead of randomly use the word "autism" for anything you don't like.

>>1152740

The autism is OFFICIAL, anon!
It's official autism!

>>1152747
okay

>zelda timeline

hey does Super Mario World take place thousands of years before or after Super Mario Bros. 3?

what about Galaxy? is that the first game in the series?

hate this shit

>>1152750
bullshit, somewhere between OoT and Wind Waker they made the decision to reference the myths of previous games

so don't say never, because they did at some point.

>>1152747 and you, don't say randomly if there's a criteria for why he's saying autism. It's not random, he thinks you're a nerd

>inferring that there must be some sort of timeline based on offhand references to previous games which were probably just done as a little bonus for longtime fans

But there is an official Zelda timeline...

try them, you'd be suprised

I tried this one with Link as the lead character in a retro computers/consoles event. And it was horrible.

>>1156476
They're average at best and that's being nice.

>>1152757

This pretty much trumps any timeline theories. Nintendo is being pretty cool by putting out an official timeline, but it honestly doesn't mean anything.

That said, I'd put the CDi games after Adventure of Link, because they could only exist in the bleak future. Also most of the enemies were inspired from the first two games in all three CDi.... things.

>>1157052
what was horrible about it? other than the controller, because that's more the CD-i's problem

>>1157170
The controls? The gameplay? Jeez, don't sound like Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 fans which claim "Ok, it has some issues but it's still playable".

>>1157214
what about them? I always here this, but no one ever gives any specifics
