Fuck Nintendo holy shit I'm so mad right now, they ruined the best game ever made

>>5368987
Remakes are cancer

It's so "3d world based on graphical tiled elements"

>>5368987
Not bad, but i wonder What do they have against 2D.

The original Link's Awakening was a tearjerker, who the fuck would get emotional looking at the new graphics?
Who thought this was a good idea?
And listen to the fucking audio, how hard are they going to butcher ballad of the wind fish now?
THIS LOOKS LIKE A MOBILE GAME FUCK THIS GENERATION GAMING IS DEAD

>>5368987
i like it very much, both the graphics and music feel real

>>5369013
Sprites are pricey.

>>5369025
Then you didn't play the original millennial faggot.

>>5369018
But the original was literally a mobile game

>>5368987
OK, I was going to say /VR/ is overreacting like usual but why? who asked for this?

If your going to remake it, why not make a whole new 3D Zelda designed around Link's Awakening? Why remake the 2D game with weird ass "3D" graphics?

>>5368998
this

>>5369018
>>5369035

>>5369018
>this looks like a mobile game
The fuck do you think the original came out on?

>>5369037
>why not make a whole new 3D Zelda designed around Link's Awakening

ALBW-style?

The Secret of Mana remake has been surpassed, we hit a new low.

>>5369032
i did. still have my game boy and the game.

>>5369037
>why not make a whole new 3D Zelda designed around Link's Awakening
Because 3D Zelda is shit and LA is actually good, what would be the point of that at all?

>>5369048
Graphically this is worlds above the Secret of Mana remake. I'm no fan of the art style but the textures are good in the Link's Awakening remake. While I am not a fan of "mobile game" being used as a pejorative, the SoM mobile game does have a level of graphical fidelity that is comparable to actual mobile games such as Adventures of Mana and Rise of Mana. I did not play the SoM remake though so I don't know if people have any reason to hate it besides that.

>>5369046
No, like OOT or BOTW style.

Though a ALBW game inspired by LA would certainly be an improvement over just remaking it with a new paint job.

>>5369057
They should have done a Octopath Traveler-esque HD-2D remake instead.

>>5368964
I like everything about it except Link's model

I think people actually ARE overreacting. The like/dislike ratio does not seem to indicate any widespread dissatisfaction.

I understand how the b&wfags feel about DX now.
>>5369069
>The like/dislike ratio does not seem to indicate any widespread dissatisfaction.
Because they didn't play the original.

>>5369071
Plenty of unwanted remakes have had massive dislike bombs. This wasn't one of them.

Those cocksuckers added bing bing wahoo style sound effects. Fuck I hate that. Give me a silent protagonist that doesn't sound like a bad night a taco bell after every motion.

>>5369068
Same, but I realized what was bugging me.
I couldn't see his eyebrows, so I thought he just had shitty pill eyes and nothing else.

I think it's just because the shaders remind me so much of Nintendo Land that I'm able to overlook the plastic-y shine of everything. It'll look marginally better in the actual game.

>>5369071

So you understand how a retard feels?

>>5369081
What the fuck there's actually a chain chomp in the original game haha what the fuck was Nintendo smoking.

Looks like garbage. Will probably make a great shit taste detector though.

The bittersweet atmosphere is just gone, the difference is so jarring I wonder what they are changing to make the game feel natural.
I mean, listen to
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3VXcML6Hf0
it doesn't fit the new look at all.

Actually this remake was very necessary because the maximum name length in Link's Awakening is only five letters and my name is six letters long so I could not use my name in Link's Awakening so this finally fixes a long time problem with Link's Awakening.

You think we'll still get the color dungeon or a hard mode? I'm hoping they also make the bracelet its own dedicated button rather than an item needed to be equipped. Really hoping they either ditch the message that plays when you push against rocks and tackle crystals or at least let us skip it.

I hate being the "old good, new bad" kind of guy but I'm really fond of the playmobil style of the remake.

I really want to urge people into playing the original rather but I have being annoying too.

>>5369071
>I understand how the b&wfags feel about DX now.
I'm sorry you have to go through this, but I'm glad you can understand.

>>5369069
Yeah I wonder about that too. Twitter seems happy.

Maybe I just dislike the aesthetic and most people don't

>>5369057
Some people enjoy playing both. I for one would love 2D versions of some of the 3D ones as well.

The thing about remakes like this is that they change everything but the scale of the games.
Mabe village is the exact same size, but now instead of being divided up into several screens, it's now all visible at once and it looks awful.

Link's awakening was a game built around the game boy limitations, it looks really bad when you remove the limitations, but don't make changes to the game itself.

>>5369127
You should check out the Game Boy version of Quest 64, you might find that interesting.

>>5369083
Fun bit of esoteric trivia, chain chomp was invented first as a Zelda enemy, they just didn’t end up using it and then they decided it might work in Mario

>>5369125
Those people have never played the original game. I get why they love it, but they won't get the hate.

Marin is going to break my heart for the third time isn't she

>>5369148
Of course not, did you watch the trailer? The remake removed all the feels from the original, my post is sadder than that piece of shit.

Serious question here: What does a remake have to look like without the SOULESSSSSSSSS buzzword immediately getting thrown around like popcorn?

>>5369172
In this case they could've used handdrawn sprites like they did in the intro of the trailer and it would've looked a hell of a lot better. This looks like Nintendo land

>>5369172
>What does a remake have to look like?
Non existent.

>>5369172
your guess is as good as mine

>>5369172
REmake
Any Pokemon remake except ORAS and Let's Go
Or literally any other good remake, not this shit that looks like pic related.

>>5369172
i literally had shivers going down my spine when i saw the intro to the trailer and then they shifted to the gameplay and i felt like i got stabbed. what the fuck.

>>5369175
So what I'm hearing here is any 3D presentation at all is what garners the SOULESS cries.

>>5369083
Same way there's Mario and yoshi in it.

>>5369189
Don't forget Kirby.

>>5369179
What the fuck, is that Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright?

>>5369083

Mario
Chain Chomp
Goombas
Kirby

>>5369186
When the original is a 2D game, yeah kinda. Doesn’t help that the 3D remakes usually look ugly on their own terms too.

>>5368998

>>5369081

>>5369208
>ORAS>RSE
Wrong. Adds nothing substantial over Emerald and the graphics are butt-fucking-ugly. Even in your first battle with May you can see how cheap it looks. The skybox looks about as convincing as a PS1-era prerendered background.

I’d post a photo but I’m at work and gook moot has once again banned mobile users from posting images.
Unless I buy a 4chan Pass™, of course.

>>5368987
>>5368998
>>5369018
>>5369084
what is this /v/? quit being such drama queens you people are goddamn infants

>>5369172
There are no rules to what makes a remake these scum like. If /vr/ all work together to remake a classic game perfectly, plenty will still call it garbage

>>5369225
The remake sure is faithful.

>>5369172
good. they even fucked up the owl.

>>5369208
Oot 3d fucks with atmosphere too much, even outside lighting and removal of blood, it does small stuff like removing tree textures from zora's fountain and the fishing hole, making jabu-jabu' breathing silent.
Textures in general are too clean in oot 3d. This is very noticeable in the well and shadow temple. Both look very dirty in the original versions, in oot 3d they look like the shadow temple has been washed recently.

Plus there's odd gameplay changes like nerfing deku sticks.

>>5369227
It’s faithful to the original sprites you mongrel. Notice how their eyes are literally I.I

>>5369225
I was hoping for something that looked a little more serious considering how unexpectedly deep and heart-jerking Link's awakening was for a game boy game

>>5369231
>Muddy, Vaseline-smeared graphics
>Sub-20fps framerate
Nah, get fucked. The original fucking blows.

>>5369230
I think I just uncovered the issue here. You guys are mad that it doesn't look exactly like the original promotional art.

>>5369172
less sterile

>>5369236
Well its a trailer, its supposed to get people pumped, its not even out yet

>>5369240
fuck off /v/

>>5369245
It’s a remake of a Game Boy game. All Game Boy games look “sterile”. It’s faithful while still adding enough visual flare as to not look weird in HD.

>>5369246
i think that was part of the problem, that intro scene of Link's struggle on the boat got me super hyped thinking they actually went for a more serious take on it, then the gameplay shjowed up... it was a complete 180.

>>5369240
the original and remake are both good. go away

>>5369247
t. same shitter who hates on All Stars

>>5369250
There’s no happ

>>5369249
Seems fine to me. but only time will tell, noone here has played it yet. People are wrong about remakes all the time

>>5369250
t. same shitter who hates on All Stars

>>5369250
There’s no happy medium here. The original sucks. Get over it.

>>5369186

>>5369254
Looks like a flash game.

>>5369252
>Secret of Mana remake
Seems fine to me. but only time will tell, noone here has played it yet. People are wrong about remakes all the time

>>5369175

Why would they use hand drawn sprites?

The original does not feature hand drawn sprites.

>>5369172
Some good remakes Nintendo has made in the past:
Metroid: Zero Mission
Metroid: Samus Returns
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (narratively a "sequel" but let's be real here)
Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D

The biggest difference between all of those and this Link's Awakening remake is that each of them ADDS something or CHANGES something. They have new features, new abilities, updated maps, updated controls... This "remake" feels like a glorified texture pack. Like a 3D graphical skin slapped onto the original game with no significant or interesting changes.

To add insult to injury, the art direction is bad. Why would they make everything look like toys or a diorama? It should have been some kind of cel-shaded style or sketchbook style; something that would capture an imaginative, dreamlike feeling. This art direction just seems to have zero real thought or heart put into it and it doesn't mesh with or enhance the themes or mood of the game, which makes it feel that much worse that it's just a straight rehash.

>>5369259
SoM remake plays better than the original tbqhwy

>>5369253
Get over it implys that im lying to myself. It played good then and it plays good now, why not accept that we have a disagreement and not be a pompous douche about it

>>5369259
I didn't say Secret of Many tho. I was honestly thinking of Spyro but whatever m8

>>5369257
beautiful in motion though

>>5369261
LA remake isn’t even out yet you fucking sperg. It was just announced today.
We don’t know what they have or haven’t added yet.

>>5369261
>Samus Returns
eeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... i mean... i didnt hate it, but i didn't love it? It was great to play 2d action metroid again, but i think it wasnt so much the style that turned me off as it was the fact that it was Metroid 2... its kind of hard to add variety to a game that was pretty repetitive to begin with and it lacked the same low tech spookiness that came with Gameboy's limited hardware.

>>5369261

Metroid Prime Trilogy is a step down. Also it's not a remake, just a Wii port of two games with a Wii game packed in as well.

Some effects were removed from Trilogy, for instance if you charge the ice gun in MP1 the gun will actually accumulate frost on GCN, but on Wii it does nothing.

Also you are making shit up about this not adding or changing anything, you've seen an intro trailer, one that even goes out of its way to mention that it doesn't show real gameplay.

And then you're claiming the art direction is bad when it's actually the game's original art direction:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2Eo9dh3xgQ

>>5369236
>>5369249
I can appreciate liking a serious take, but I think you two are also forgetting that Link's Awakening was the single most humorous Zelda title until Wind Waker came around. I mean on top of all the Mario & Kirby enemies, you also had Talon's various antics (turned into racoon, chased by bees, etc) Marin getting held over Link's head like any other item, Link getting smooched by the town plumper, and Mr. Wright from Sim City getting catfished by a goat lady.

The setting was a literal dream world, and just like dreams, it got fucking trippy at times.

>>5369271
Well then Nintendo has failed even worse because I knew from the very first debut trailer of Samus Returns exactly what kinds of new things it was about to do and I was excited for it. This has given me nothing to be excited about other than that shitty bait and switch they did with the intro.

>>5369279
You make a good point. I guess the things i remember most from the game is south face shrine onward once the truth is revealed. Just got emotional for me after that. Sometimes i forget how weird the game was.

>>5369280
>the game's a failure because I don't like the trailer

You really should get over yourself.

>>5369290
These types of remake reactionaries are the absolute worst. It’s like they go out of their way to find reasons to be mad.

>>5369241
Yeah, I think that's it. That's what the game should have looked like without being shrunk down into a gameboy game.

>>5369296
I don't even mind that they have opinions that don't make much sense, it's that they feel like anybody actually wants to hear it. Repeated several times in a single thread, even.

>>5369209
This looks fucking abhorrent. Like a mishmash between the Wonder Boy remake and Cuphead.

Zelda more like cel-da all over again. And like then, it will stand the test of time. Reactionary then and reactionary now.

>>5368987
desu, the sound effects put me off more than the graphics.

>>5369078
Why are the animal eyes more detailed than the human ones?
Why do the owl's eyebrows taper off while Link's hair is just 3 blobs?
Why does the owl have defined talons while Link's hand is mittenlike?

>>5369227
>all these people drawing angry memes at rapid speed because they hate it so much
YIKES

At least more Marin porn is coming

I hope Nintendo doesn't have the gall to charge more than 40 bucks for this,.

>>5369317

Because that's how humans and owls are typically depicted in arts and crafts projects, meaning it fits.

From now on every time I say Link's Awakening is my favorite game people will think I'm talking about the shitty remake so from this day onwards my favorite game is Legend of Mana.

>>5369318

>>5369341
That's a better choice of game than LA anyway, why wasn't that your favorite in the first place?

>>5369261
>mm 3d
Fuck no. Majora's mask is everything you shouldn't do with a remake.
All the unnecessary changes are insulting and if you had any love for majora's mask you would know that.

>>5369376
The smoother framerate was nice at least, and Goron Link actually having half decent melee attacks was appreciated. Otherwise I agree, 64 MM is better.

Link looks like the NPC meme face

>>5369376
this guy gets it, my brother showed me the MM remake recently, specifically the bosses and i had no idea what the fuck i was watching.

>>5369013
This man.

>>5369389
Aonuma ruined majora's mask with its remake and now he's coming for koizumi's other zelda game.

>>5369043

Handhelds are not "mobile" you fucking retard. Words have meanings for a reason you doublenigger.

Handheld and mobile are two separate classifications.

>>5368987
The Game Boy version isn’t going to pop out of existance you retarded faggot.
>>5369013
2D = indie in the minds of most people.

>>5368987
I was so onboard with that gorgeous intro and then... YIKES

I'll pass

Would you like to add that they raped your childhood as long as you're spouting hyperbole?

>>5369479
>comic sans
Yikes.

OLD GOOD
NEW BAD
You would have hated it regardless of what style they use.

>>5368987
And there goes all its soul

that opening gave me hope but yeah, no

>it's a "let's reskin an old game with no effort" episode

Guys why does my child's game look like a child's game? They should have remade this obviously cartoonish goofy game with hyper realistic aesthetics.

>>5369484
This. And worst of all they came up with the word "zoomer" so they can dismiss anyone who disagrees with them as being "just some young kid who doesn't get it." What a fucking cop-out. I'm older than you pricks.

>>5369492
>They should have remade this obviously cartoonish goofy game with hyper realistic aesthetics.
No, they just shouldn't have made it look like fucking Hitman GO. It's a terrible art direction that adds nothing to the game. I don't want or need the game to be gritty or overtly dark or anything, I would be perfectly happy with a cartoonish style, but this isn't that.

One of the best /vr/ threads as of late happened to be a Link's Awakening one:
>>/vr/thread/S5313405

Why would someone be excited and willing to pay for a game that's been available for two decades with much better graphics?

>>5369479
im starting to think it's just link i don't like in the remake

>>5369514
This seems like the kind of game that will have alternate costumes so maybe there will be one that "fixes" Link. We'll see.

>>5369514
no, pretty much everything looks like shit except for the animated intro

>>5369507
Because 3d graphics are better and this isn't a matter of opinion, the Game Boy couldn't even possible run the Link's Awakening remake while the Switch could easily run the Game Boy Link's Awakening, a Game Boy game from the 80s could never have as good graphics as the games from today.

>>5369524
I hope this is bait

>>5369507
Because 2 buttons for all that inventory is pretty fucking shit my dude. I'm looking forward to having a dedicated sword, shield, power bracelet, pegasus boot, and roc's feather button instead of needing to swap between them as well as the other items.

>>5369521
>>5369530
>>>/pol/

It's actually a shame because Astral Chain looks fucking amazing and would have been the perfect way to end the Direct. But for some reason they decided to end it with this instead. Nintendo thinks too highly of their own IPs, thinks they take priority over everything else.

So what's the best way to play the original? DX, right? Are there any hacks that improve anything like the sound or otherwise?

What's so bad about this again? I can see that they're trying to recreate the look of the original. I don't think the artstyle is perfect or anything but it's not """soulless""". come on.

All shit flinging to the remake aside, what the fuck happened to link after the ending of link's awakening?

>>5369561
Original > DX

>>5369564
Wind Fish gave him a ride back to Hyrule.

>>5369484
hes right you know

>>5369479
>>5368987
hes wrong you know

>>5369564
He was marooned on an island and lost his mind, becoming friends with a softball

>>5369562
Soulless is just a meme, you can safely ignore any post that uses that word because it has as much emotional depth as someone who posts "Sneed."

>>5369562
I think another board is invading. /vr/ doesn't always have this bad of taste. Like it was said before, theres no way of remaking this without people complaining

>>5369562
>they're trying to recreate the look of the original.
The original sprites do not look like plastic toys in a diorama.

>>5369565
Why?

>>5369581
so dont fucking remake it. just make sure there's a legal way of keeping the original available

>>5369561
Disappointed to discover that this is not an actual outfit you can get in BotW.

>>5369585
The original is still available on the 3DS eshop if you care so much.

>>5369585
But people do like the remake on its own merits. Nintendo wont cancel a remake because /vr/ is foaming at the mouth. The old game still exists, there isnt some glaring 'Greedo shot first' kind of change its just a remake with new visuals like calm the fuck down

>>5369584
I think the art style looks better in black and white, contrast is really well-utilized throughout the game, and it strikes a certain mood and tone for the game I think gets lost with the addition of color.

The gameplay additions to DX like the photographer and color dungeon are meh, and the tunics from the color dungeon break the game and make it too easy.

When you touch a boulder before you get the power bracelet, there's a text box that pops up and tells you it's too heavy to lift. In the original, pressing B will immediately cancel the text box; in DX, you have to read the entire thing every time and can only advance it with A because pressing B no longer cancels text. Same goes for the text boxes that pop up when you get a Piece of Power or a Guardian Acorn.

So is link really the villain in awakening? Because the game really makes it seem like he is

>>5369595
By paying for something like this you're incentivizing this sort of business practices.
The resources spent on this garbage could have been allocated to something new/fresh/creative.

>>5369608
That text box things was one of my biggest complaints about LA when I played it. Disappointing to learn it's because I played an inferior version.

>>5369610
>modern video games
>something new/fresh/creative
Other than the rare miracle like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 all modern video games are shit, you should know this already since we're on /vr/.

>>5369609
You are confusing Link's Awakening with Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, somehow.

>>5369619
So im guessing the solution to fix modern games is to keep reselling old games with a worse coat of paint

>>5369623
What does FFTA have to do with this?
>Waking up the wind fish kills everyone
>The Nightmares are the only thing keeping everyone in the wind fish's dream alive
???

>>5369628
Indies are the solution to fix modern games. The Ouya was a step in the right direction but nobody took it seriously.

>>5369609
Spoilered out of respect for anons ITT who said they haven't played the game:
The Nightmare is just trying to manipulate Link with guilt so he'll stay asleep and drown. There are only two possibilities:
1. None of these people exist, they are only a figment of Link and/or the Windfish's imagination(s), meaning that waking the Windfish is no more evil than waking up from a dream in real life.
2. The other people on Koholint are like Link: Animals and people from the real world who got trapped in the Windfish's dream, meaning that waking the Windfish frees them all along with Link.

The only one who's really at risk of dying from the Windfish waking is the Nightmare that's invading the Windfish's dream and forcing him to stay asleep. If you think Link is actually the bad guy then you don't understand what's happening in the game.

>>5369632
It wasn't real, anon. None of them were ever anything other than the Windfish itself.
The only two real, living consciences that were in the dream were both trapped in it.

that said marin becomes a seagull in the real world if you beat the game without dying, so who knows

>>5369608
>>5369614
There's a fix for that.

>>5369632
Is it right to keep the Wind Fish sleeping eternally, locked in a festering nightmare, just because his dream also happened to manifest a cute island girl? I mean that'd be like if you were in a coma and doctors were capable of raising you out of it and wouldn't because it looked like you were having a REALLy nice dream.

>>5369639
>spoiler
My theory is that Marin is a seagull who got trapped in the dream along with Link. That's why she desires so strongly to escape the island and to fly over the ocean to new lands. She isn't aware that she's in a dream, so her IRL seagull thoughts manifest themselves as Marin's subconscious desires in the dream.

>>5369652
fair enough, but i'm pretty sure she's a figment that becomes a seagull, since she expresses the specific desire to become one and spread her song

>>5369652
>seagulls
>having thoughts besides being asshole winged vermin

>>5368998
There's plenty of good remakes.

>>5368987
Those goombas look like they're about to go BAH BAAH at any moment.

also how the fuck could the game boy run the game at 60fps while a modern console can only do it at 30, 3d zeldas look like they're perpetually underwater

>>5369032
Millennials grew up playing Gameboy games you buzzword spewing fudgepacker.

>>5369035
A Gameboy is a mobile phone now?

>>5369061
>Though a ALBW game inspired by LA would certainly be an improvement over just remaking it with a new paint job.
I'd actually like that I think.

>>5369081
I could do without the blur, I hope you can turn it off in the game.

>>5369083
ALTTP featured Chain Chomps too.
I always liked how in LA you would get to take it for a walk, and the fucker would just eat enemies whole while yanking you around.

>>5369074
What?

>>5369240
Nah.

>>5369241
I don't really have a strong opinion at all, but when you say it like that, yes, that would be really, REALLY cool, if they styled the new 3D game to look like that.

>>5369710
>>5369074
>What?
He's referring to the fact that Link goes "HA, HEP, HIYAH" when he swings his sword. I have to agree, for some reason I never minded the vocalizations in 3D Zelda but in 2D Zelda it just feels wrong.

>I could do without the blur, I hope you can turn it off in the game.

Calm down a little.

>>5369431
>Handheld and mobile are two separate classifications.
I enjoyed the trolling but this is correct

wow now nintendo isn't even bothering to make new versions of its ip its literally just remaking the same games with newer graphics

>>5369748
id be okay with it if the graphics were actually better

however thats not the case, sadly

>Because 3d graphics are better
No they aren't, there's good 3D and there's bad 3D, likewise there are many good looking 2D games which look better than a lot of good looking 3D games.
Metal Slug looks better than any Nintendo 64 game, for instance. Execution is everything, no matter how advanced your graphics are.

>80s
It's from 1993.

>>5369745
People certainly treat them as such.
You'd never hear the retard above post about ocarina of time 3d being better than n64 oot, if the remake never happened.

Link's Awakening was my first Zelda game, and favorite for awhile. I'm weary of remakes, I really wish they would have done a sequel-but-not-really like they did with A Link Between Worlds rather than a straight remake.

>>5369608
Valid points I guess, though I'm kind of attached to the way the GBC did colors, I just LOVE how Warioland 2 looks.

>>5369498
That was such a fun thread.

Sounds like people who aren't worth the time outta your day, if you ask me.

>>5369619
Not a universal opinion.

>>5369636
The Ouya was unmitigated fucking garbage in every way, what the shit are you talking about?

The system specs were bad, the design of the entire console was bad (heat vent on the bottom, srsly), the controller was bad, all the games on it were bad.
Do you have backers remorse or something?

I'll probably enjoy the remake. The original still exists. Either way its not as bad as you autistic drama queens are saying

>>5369341
Dude no body will ever actually ask you this in real life and if by some chance they do they'll be perceptive enough to know for the fact they're actually asking

>>5369341
That has a remake v shat themselves over too

So is /v/ brigading?

>>5369819
probably

Personally I think it looks neat.
The original was the first Zelda I played and is my favourite to this day.
I think of all the ways they could've remade Link's Awakening, this diorama art style is the best you could hope for.
And even if it's god awful the original still exists.

>>5369819
lots of juvenile bullshit mixed in between the arguing so there's a good chance.

>>5369018

>>5369851
I don't consider it a tearjerker but I always found it emotional, bittersweet, and melancholic in a few parts.

>>5369610
Business practices of remaking a zelda game? Wow what a heinous crime.

>>5369619
Xenoblade is the big outlier? Modern games are just as good as retro in a lot of ways. and By modern I am including indies like Superhot

The worst part of the art to me is the godawful blur smeared over everything. Looking at the footage actually fucking hurts my eyes. It's very uncomfortable looking at a blurry image with your eyes unable to re-focus to fix it. Remove the blur and it would be much better.

You know the other thing I wonder about this remake is will they keep the ammo system the original had, or will they implement the regenerating magic/stamina system of ALBW?

>>5369407
>Aonuma ruined majora's mask with its remake
It was always a bad game, he didn't ruin anything.

>>5369248
>All Game Boy games look “sterile”
You couldn't be more wrong /v/

Did that guy ever submit that stuff to TCRF?

>>5368987
oh no no no no look at this game look at the top of his graphics hahaha

Link looks a bit dippy but that's about the worst of it.

>>5369851
I watched a guy streaming it last weekend and the subject of the sort of melancholic ending was discussed. Definitely not a new idea.

You know, I liked to tell myself that I come to /vr/ because there's less shitposting, and many of the anons here seem to have their shit together, and are older and more mature than /v/.

Then threads like this come about and I realize that I was wrong. Grown adults on this board are having a collective sustained mental breakdown over the artistic liberties a studio has taken for a remake of their game. They're drawing angry memes like it was 2012, and that this is the worst thing to happen to their favorite game ever. They're going to have their two minutes hate on the game whenever threads like this pop up from now until release. Then, when the game drops, these same manchildren will crawl out of their caves and give Nintendo their money because after all that, maybe they're rationalized it so that they wanted to see how bad it really was.

But then they realize it wasn't that bad after all. It just wasn't as good as the original. But they knew that all along.

>>5370048
I'm buying it alright, probably day one, but I'm not (and won't be) happy with it.

>>5370048
>You know, I liked to tell myself that I come to /vr/ because there's less shitposting, and many of the anons here seem to have their shit together, and are older and more mature than /v/.

If it took you until this thread to realize that you're blinder than ray charles. /vr/ has had a massive dip in quality for the past 3 years now.

To stay on topic, I have my doubts about this remake, but I'm curious to see how they'll handle certain things, like if they'll keep powder/bombs/arrows are ammo based or use the recharging energy system in ALBW, whether or not the bracelet, boots, and shield will become dedicated buttons, if we get any extra content or at the very least the extra stuff that came in the DX version.
Also if you're really concerned about post quality you can do better than posting shitty sissy boy mouth agape memes.

Never bothered me, in fact I liked them as a kid.

>>5370048
You seem to be overreacting yourself. Some people don't like it, then so what?

>people are making memes!
Again, so what?

I really like the new look, it's an adorable stop motion clay model. What I want is QoL improvements, making switching items and the like more seamless and maybe have the map be more useful.

>>5370053
Why would you buy it if you don't like what you're seeing?
I'm really on the fence about, the graphics looked oddly plasticy in the trailer, and more than anything it just made me want to play DX again for those groovy old chiptunes.

>>5370058
>Also if you're really concerned about post quality you can do better than posting shitty sissy boy mouth agape memes
This. THANK YOU.

A Link Between Worlds was a pretty good remake of ALttP, this will be pretty good as well. I actually wish Sega were the ones doing remakes though tbqh, their new shit is cringy and they love to release mega drive games over and over so it would be a win-win.

As a Link's Awakening fan, I'm happy. Very happy. I may not agree with some design decisions but at least LA is getting very special treatment that it deserves. Being the first major 2D Zelda game on a home console since ALttP is a huge feat (not counting four swords trash).

Would you guys seriously rather have it neglected and forgotten like the minish cap or the oracles?

>>5370107
This, Link's Awakening is also such a whimsical entry in the Zelda series it will be pretty interesting to see what they can do without the limitations of the Game Boy.

>>5370107
>>5370127
I wonder how they'll handle the more somber moments, like the southern face shrine

>Twitter

>>5369261
The fucking game isn't even out you fucking retard piece of shit, go back to /v/ faggot, holy shit.

Metroid Prime is the only sprite > polygons transition game from Nintendo's staples that doesn't *look* like shit. Thank fuck for Retro's artists.

Everything else 3D wise looks like shit. NSMB, ALBW, Yoshi games, Kirby games. All look like the soul was vacuumed out of them. They are aesthetically the most charmless, corporate looking shit. I'm not even a sprite stan, nor am I anti-remake.

>>5370228
Oh, yeah Samus Returns is ugly as fuck, too. Maybe Prime was a bad example considering the game itself is 3D. Has Nintendo done a single polygonal platformer that doesn't look like reheated ass?

Hopefully we finally get a proper remix of the wind fish ballad that sounds like it’s actuslly played on a cello, conch, bell, harp, marimba, triangle and drum

>>5369172
Not like a 3DS game hastily converted for switch.

The art is very charming and original, but it doesn't suit the game atmosphere. It would have been better in another kind of game. Windwaker cellshading was fine because it was a new game in the series and it was designed around that particular artstyle.

I don't really understand modern Nintendo. Since the WiiU era, it seems like the have lost a lot of talent and creativity. They are doing these souless remakes (like also the Mario & Luigi series or Metroid 2), a bunch of "Best of" games like the new Wario or Mario Party which repeat minigames form past games, or a lot of platfformers with strange artstyles: now is cellshading, now is a world of paper cuts, now is claymation, now a yarn game again, etc.

I like it. It's a really intentional visual style, so I will give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt.

One thing that I really liked in LA that I doubt will be back is the rapid fire slashing and item spam. Another is that the game was so glitchy that a lot of replay value was found in slapping select on every screen.

>>5370291

>>5369947
XC2 is one of the greatest JRPGs of all times and only idiots who get turned off by the weeb graphics disagree.

>>5369939
Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid Samus Returns, Zelda A Link Between Worlds, and Fire Emblem Echoes are all good remakes made by Nintendo.

>>5370048
>>5370058
There generally is less shitposting, but I've noticed a specific shitposter who recently (as in, not even a few months ago) arrived on this board and because it's a slow board it's quite easy for one single person to throw off the tone of the whole board. I haven't read through this whole thread to see if he's here, but it wouldn't surprise me. This thread is getting posts WAY quicker than usual for /vr/. Something is definitely up.

>>5370339
My name actually does not abbreviate. And fuck you Steve, you're never getting in Smash.

>>5370228
Don't lump Kirby with the good-feel and grezzo commisions, the latest 3D games are actually great, and I would say the Flagship developed games look more souless.

>>5370406
>Star Allies
>great

>>5368987
Shit artstyle and music aside, it looks like a 1:1 remake with no new additions.
LA is actually a pretty short game even with padding, who the fuck is going to pay 40 bucks for a game you can finish in two afternoons that manages to look worse that the 25 year old game it's based on?

>>5370409
Didn't it improve after all the DLC?
Also, RTD, TD, and Robobot in particular were all great.

>>5370406
I don't know what Grezzo is but Kirby's Epic Yarn is a fantastic game with an amazing all-piano soundtrack that people give a bad rap because it's easy. News flash kids, Kirby games are always easy. It's about the atmosphere, which Epic Yarn brings in spades.

>>5370414
I think Grezzo is that giant bear with the headband from Kirby

>>5368964
This is basically the first real Zelda remake right? The others were just upgraded ports, remasteres maybe.
I wonder when they will finally do something with the original two games.

>>5370402
Neither does mine, but I never used my name for save files anyway

>>5370459
Now that you mention it, yes. Kinda surprising that of all Zelda games, LA would be the first one to receive this honor.

>>5370459
its the shittiest looking though. original graphics are unironically better

>>5370459
>>5370486
Honestly I think that games like Zelda 2 and Minish Cap would deserve a remake before LttP. The former because having more content and even more fleshed out combat would make the original even better while the latter was way too rail-roaded and that stupid bird thing who NEVER got his mouth shut (people who complain about navi, Fi or Midna have no idea how annoying it is, I swear), not to mention that medallion sidequest that became very annoying to complete. MC is my least favorite Zelda game but maybe Nintendo can let some studio handle it and take out its original flaws and improves on what it did well like the art style and some of the dungeons and item designs.

>>5370459
>I wonder when they will finally do something with the original two games.
If we're lucky then never, but that's way too optimistic

>>5370459
>>5370506
So long as Octoroks protect us, Aonuma will never touch them.

>>5370497
Minish Cap should have a 3D remake so that when you go small you can look up the girls' dresses HAHA.

I'm not kidding.

>>5370459
There was plans for a Zelda 1 remake on the GBC, but that ended up getting rolled into the Oracle games.

>>5370510
but that part was mostly stupid old men in hoods who live undergrounds and who wanna rip you off or tip you for their sick elf boy fantasies and bjs.

>>5370515
And the Zelda 1 bosses, most being in Seasons.

>>5368964
I'm conflicted. It looks like it could be fun, but it is so different looking that I find it distracting. I'm gonna buy it as LA was one of my favorites, but I'm not totally sold on the art style. The GB and GBC graphics were so well done considering the limitations or perhaps were so good because of the limitations. We'll have to see how it goes.

>>5370618
It looks like Link's Awakening but uglier, so I'll just play the original.

>>5370626
>I'll just play the original
You mean you'll play DX, right? The original had less content and looked like shit.

I'd never in good conscience reccomend ocarina of time 3d over the original n64 game.
3d has its merits like 60 fps, more item slots and not needing to pause to use the iron boots, and having a port of Master Quest.
But when you play Oot 3d, you're not playing the revolutionary n64 game that completely changed how 3d action adventure games were designed. All those muddy, stretched n64 textures, character models, lighting and the subsequent atmosphere they created were just as much of the experience as the gameplay.
You can't remove those aspects in the 3d port and pretend everything feels the same.

Especially weird small changes like Jabu-Jabu no longer having breathing noises. It's such a trivial change, so why change it? That noise was a big part of the atmosphere of Zora's Fountain imo.

>>5369710
>The blur
Ideally you'll be playing on a big screen TV. Not some pea size screen. Your field of vision can't take it all in. The blur provides depth and focus.

Magazines and backs of covers can't do HD games justice with thumbnail screenshots.

>>5371250
>improving the graphics and framerate significantly and gameplay QOL improvements....
Newsflash idiot, a game having good graphics doesn't just mean "duurrrr more polygons".
Majora's Mask had perfectly fine graphics. You can tell what everything was, it was readable, identifiable, etc. By all accounts the game already had good graphics.

And literally the only quality of life improvement mm3d had was the song of double time's new mechanics. Every other similar change lead to a shot ton of text being thrown in your face every ten seconds. Or just weird arbitrary changes like the happy mask salesman breaking character to hand you the bomber's notebook.

And let's not go into the other changes that objectively worsens the gameplay of majora's mask like zora swimming.

>>5369305
You need to see a doctor about getting that stick up your ass removed.

Where ya from bud

>>5369081
I like it because it's cute and reminds me of Mother 2. But I hate that they used the DX color palette as it was gaudy and a product of a gimmicky port. The original Gameboy LA was better.

>>5369083
Fun fact. Psilocybin mushroom weren't illegal till 2002 in Japan. That's why mushrooms are eveerywhere in games.Hence the mushroom hunting guy in this game.

>>5369230
More fun facts : Link's Awakening was inspired by Twin Peaks which heavily featured owls.

>>5369652
I always liked how conceptually Marin and Tarin became Mall and Talon n in OoT.

>>5371730
I find it a stretch to say they're using DX's color palette, a lot of it doesn't really match. It's its own thing.

>>5370228
Did anyone else think Animal Crossing Population Growing (which was basically an n64 port graphically) lost its charm when it lost the low polys or is that just me?

I wonder what Mother 3 would've felt like on the n64 too.

>>5371525
That's what makes them such worthwhile remakes, they actually offer something new other than just a graphics change.

>>5371619
>Not some pea size screen.
You mean like, say... Switch handheld mode? Yeah, can't see anyone using that! Not like it's the most common and popular usage for the console or anything, right?
>The blur provides depth and focus.
Except the blur isn't based on distance from the camera, it's just a flat blur applied to the surface of the screen.
>Magazines and backs of covers can't do HD games justice with thumbnail screenshots.
Except you're neglecting the fact that we've all seen HD footage of this game in motion. I fullscreened the trailer on my 27" monitor and the blur still bugged my eyes a lot.

>>5371756
It's not 100% in every screen, but the gaudy house colours and enemies are all the same. And the rest is enough tio say they really took it from DX.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mctma5_Z7G0

>>5371756
They even made the miniboss with the spike roller a fucking pink chewing gum monster just like in DX.

I'll never understand why they made so many of the color choices they did with DX, and it's even more mind boggling that they're copying those retarded choices in the remake rather than referencing the original graphics and art to make something with more reasonable coloration.

>>5371797
It's because the Gameboy Color was new and the screen had no backlight so they just used the most obnoxious colors and promoted that stupid colour dungeon. The system itself came in super bright colours to drive that marketing home.

>>5371797
>>5371816
I never realized there were people who are so contrarian they hate the fucking Game Boy Color. Good grief, guys.

I'm also looking forward to seeing if they keep all of those little secrets and weird touches that were pointed out in that excellent Link's Awakening thread we had awhile back.

>>5371623
Why does the happy mask salesman hand you the bombers notebook?

>>5371867
It's not contrarianism and I don't hate the Game Boy Color. I just don't like the coloration of LADX and I think that trying to mimic a system with such limited palette is a poor choice on a modern system.

What the fuck are you even talkign about? It's a sequel, period. The mechanics aren't even the same. The map is only like 70% the same and story is completely different. Items are different, everything's different. You're fucking stupid.

>>5370092

>>5373234
Richard isn't the main character, but rather the rival.

>>5374117
>Items are different
Not that guy but really unless you go out of your way to upgrade them, most of the items are the same as they were in ALttP. Except for the ice and fire rods, those are worse.
If memory serves right really the only new items we got were the propeller rod and the sand rod. Those were pretty cool though.

>>5371426
You who where

>>5369208

What is the image even attempting to convey?

It's kind of pathetic that no other zelda game managed to have an ending as emotionally significant as a game boy game from 1993.

Yeah the design for Link is different but I think Nintendo can pull off a great remake like they always do.

>>5374739

What's ironic is that Sable has speaking lines but no name, while Link has a name but is silent.

>>5374867
>>5374886
Interesting, and somewhat odd. Well, I don't know if this is true or not, but I did some googling and there's some Smashboards posts discussing how apparently in the instruction manual there are screenshots with the name コマール, so I guess he kind of has a name, in the same way Chara is the "official" name for the Fallen Child because it's also used in screenshots. The discussion goes on to speculate that this name is rendered as "Comal" and that they named him after some sort of frying pan? (Alternatively, you could go with Komaaru, which almost sounds like a normal Japanese name.) A pretty strange name, but I suppose it's not any stranger than Link. Thing is I'm also seeing that the game has an absolutely ridiculous limit of four characters so you can't even use the name Comal in English. Of course there's no problem in Japanese so it doesn't make the name less valid but man, how do you come up with a good name with only four letters? You can't even fit "Prince" or "Sable" in that few letters.

>Of course there's no problem in Japanese
And the game was never actually released outside Japan. The only way to play it in English is through a fan translation anyway, so of course the devs didn't think about what that limitation might be like in English.

>>5374924
Well the limitation existed in games that have been released in English anyway, like the aforementioned Link's Awakening. Japan just did not care about Americans at all back then.

>>5369172
You'll never recapture what the original had because one was made by video game nerds who were obsessed with computers throughout the 80s early 90s, and the remake is something straight out of a corporate boardroom meant to cash in on what those nerds created a second time, with a modernized coat of paint on it to make it appeal to the lowest common denominator (maximizing sales,) while, at the same time, cutting down development costs by using cheap technology instead of expensive artists so as to maximize profits on, what has always been, a cash in.

Don't choose to remake a game in your stockholder meaning and you won't hear the "buzzword" soulless any more, problem solved. There has never been a more perfect description of this shit than soulless, and the fact that it triggers the fuck out of retards like you (who these cash ins are meant to appeal to) pretty much confirms that.

>>5374792
>emotionally significant
What the hell does that mean?

>>5374975
The monkey island 1 remake was amazingly soulless..I think it's still the worst offender
It's easy to notice because it was always just big digitized pictures. The original artists were the best in the industry, they worked for George fucking Lucas at his height.

The artists for the hd remake was some asian sweatshop.

>>5374120
As an obsessive Alttp player, I'd say Albw is a quasi-remake.

>>5375020
My biggest problem with the MI1 remake is the design for Guybrush. Why did they give him such big hair? It's hideous.

Apparently there was a fan remake of Link's Awakening in the OoT engine and nobody talked about it.

Proving you guys just want to whine.

>>5374956
LA allowed at least 5 characters, IIRC.

>mfw Link's Awakening 64 died without any release or leak

It's the best 2D Zelda

zoomer here. i think i can understand how boomers felt about wind waker now. i cannot fathom how anybody thinks the zelda 3DS remasters are worth playing or admiring over their original counterparts

>>5376045
ALBW kind of feels like a 'remix' of ALTTP, similar, yet offering lots of new things and different takes on the original.
It's maybe not perfect, but I thought it was pretty fun.
Mind I haven't played any of the Zelda games on the N64, Gamecube, Wii, etc

You have autism.

>>5377134
Wait, what did they mess up about the Twinmold fight?

>>5377160
Oh right, the transformation masks, boss fights, and ice arrows were ruined but not really anything else

>>5377182
They lengthened it by 40 minutes

>>5377013

Captchas are nothing compared to paying money to a website where the mods can't even do their fucking job competently. I laugh at the idiots who are so dumb they deal with the fading ones, though. And I also get a bit annoyed that someone who is this fucking stupid hasn't gotten fed up and left the site but apparently this site attracts some of the biggest losers of all time.

>>5377190

>>5377189
I always thought it was a bit too short so what's the issue there?

>>5377189
>Oh right, the transformation masks, boss fights, and ice arrows were ruined but not really anything else
Yeah, just the core of the game. No biggie.

>>5375021

As a person with a brain, I'd say you're a fucking retard.

Link's Awakening is the only Zelda game I actually finished. I came close with Wind Waker but when the final dungeon was a rehash of previous dungeons I got bored and moved on to something else.

I tried some of most of the others but something about the series just doesn't do it for me. I love the way LttP looks and used to want it in the snes days but when I finally played it never got into it. Great looking games but something about them is so boring to me.

>>5377271
How do people "get bored and quit" at the very last dungeon. It's one fucking dungeon. At worst it's a couple hours of your time. After spending hours on this game how can you not just push yourself through that last bit.

You missed the best final boss fight in the series too. And you were so close.

With all the romhacks out there, is there seriously not a single romhack for Link's Awakening that lets you have a longer name? How hard can it be?

>>5377271
What do you think about the oracles games?

>>5377215
Goron form was made better at least

>>5377194
It's too long

>>5377249
It rethreads Alttp a whole lot.

>>5377289
I played Seasons briefly but didn't get far before something else caught my attention. I think LA kept me going because it felt fresh, but subsequent ones lacking the novelty didn't do it enough. I probably only stuck with WW as long as I did because it looked so amazing.

>>5377282
Honestly because I didn't care about the story or end boss or seeing how it all ended. I had been enjoying the different dungeons. But when the final one was a mishmash of previous ones after a couple I realised all that was really left was to do them then fight some boss I had other games I'd rather put that time into. Even now I have no regrets at all.

It's similar in a way to Fantasy Zone. I loved that game so much, each level I got to was better than the last and after the second-to-last level I was super hyped for what was to come. Then that final level was just a bossrush of previous fights followed by maybe the most boring boss of the whole game. I still love it and did finish, but wow what a let down.

>>5377282
>>5377467
Also just to note, so far in that game none of the boss fights had been particularly interesting to me so i didn't have high hopes for the last one. Maybe it was uncommonly good, but I don't feel bad missing out if it was.

>>5377467
The fight with Ganon in WW really isn't that great and the other anon is exaggerating.

>>5377190
>Log into pass on your phone

>>5377485
It is great though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDxW1BRa_B0

Just watch it if you're never going to play it. Yeah I'm sure you'll be like "Well that wasn't so great, glad I didn't do it" but you'll never know what it's like to experience it for the first time in game and so you'll never have the true experience, so the real loss is yours.

>>5377545
>It is great
>Press A to win

>>5377545
Yeah it looks alright, but I was really just playing to game for exploring the environments and seeing the art. The gameplay and bosses were never of huge interest.

>>5369071
Remakes are for new players too, they will not miss blocky 8bit graphics
I think is good having more buttons to map with items, menu switching takes a great part of playtime in the original an becomes quickly an annoying gameplay mechanic of an otherwise great game, having always boot and gloves equipped will make navigating the overworld less of a pain
That said, not going to buy a switch and pay full price for a fucking remake

>>5378506
I do not see this game being full price. I would put money on the line that it won't be.

That said, there are so many worthwhile games on the Switch at this point that it would also would be strange if this was "the game that made someone buy a Switch." While this game looks nice I have an array of games I would prioritize getting before this one.

>>5368998
Rude.

If you actually have a problem with the new style and aren't fake sperging out over it, you are literally the problem with gaming right now. LA is my favorite game, and the new style looks charming as hell. The focal depth effect is a little annoying, but shit - if you really hate it so much, then just ignore it. It's a remake - you've literally played it before and like the old one. So who cares? It's not like it's hurting the old one or stopping other Zeldas from being made.

>>5374772
That HGSS replaced fun dialogue with boring one-dimensional text, in keeping with other changes they made discouraging exploration in favor of unidirectional gameplay punctuated with frequent interruptions of useless dialogue.

>>5377353
Goron already the best form in the game, punching a little faster doesn't mean a whole lot

>>5369694
You got owned big time. You totally made a fool of yourself and now you are desperately attempting damage control but it only makes you look increasingly more cringe-worthy.

>>5378558
I don't see anything wrong with it.

The last time I almost listened to you faggots about the RE2 Remake, which was amazing (I played the original when it came out). You retards are just contrarians.

>>5377282
I stop playing oot just after the last dungeon and lttp at the beginning of the last
Like the other anon LA is the only zelda I bother to complete, don't know why

>>5378779
>you guys
>you
thanks for outing yourself as a subhuman /v/tard, anything you say can safely be discarded. And LEL at you trying to pretend that hating the garbage fire in that video is "contrarian."

>>5379427
Was LA the first Zelda you played? That might be it. The first time can be cool but the series is very derivative and repetitive. If you didn't love playing it I can see getting bored with other entries.

>>5379432
Didn't even watch the video, faggot. Go shout at your /v/ boogeyman elsewhere. I haven't owned a modern console besides a PC since 2004.

>>5379432
Not even him but the RE2 remake is fucking solid.

>>5379434
Different guy, but I find that any time I want to play Zelda, I just go for Alttp, because it's just overall solid and a good game.
Then my brother got me Between Worlds for Xmas, and I thought it was pretty tits.

I always liked LA a lot, but I never finished it.

>>5379432
>thanks for outing yourself as a subhuman /v/tard
>LEL
Speak for yourself kid. Nobody over the age of 20 actually says that without joking.
A lot of people in this thread and the other two on this board about the remake of Link's Awakening are just having a knee-jerk reaction of 'baah it's different now it's ruineeed!' while only having seen a god damn trailer that isn't that long. I mean, I wasn't waiting for a LA remake and I'm not having high hopes for it either but can't you manchildren at least wait with crying about it until people have actually PLAYED it? You know, gameplay, that one thing you guys always foam about and that's so much more important than graphics and sounds according to you guys?

>>5379427
stopped playing alttp during the ice-dungeon.
annoy af.

>>5379449
That's one of the harder parts, but it gets good again afterwards.
You brought the firewand and magic medicine, right?

>>5379472
no idea, probably, last time I played it was several years ago.
maybe will give it a try again.

>>5379449
Right at the end the placement of the crystal switches requires you to backtrack a floor to push down a block, which is really annoying. If that's the part that stumped you and you absolutely hate it, there's two options for you.
A) If you can put up with slightly worse sound and a lower resolution, you can go play the GBA port which has altered that last floor's rising block placement so you never have to backtrack again.
B) Do as I do and complete the 6th dungeon (misery mire) before the ice palace. The item you get in there, the cane of somaria, will let you skip pushing down that block in the ice palace altogether.

>>5379446
>You know, gameplay, that one thing you guys always foam about and that's so much more important than graphics and sounds according to you guys?

How new to /vr are you? All they ever talk about is music and graphics.

>>5379478
A protip for getting through the dungeons is to seek out all the glass bottles, and then instead of relying on fairies (who will revive you if you die, but will only restore so many hearts), just carry blue medicine, it restores hearts and MP fully.
You can also sprinkle magic powder on that funky magic smelter underneath the blacksmith's house in the light world, in which case you get permanently "cursed" with spells costing half as much to cast, effectively doubling your pool.

The Ice Palace is one of three dungeons which is more magic focused, but if you bring the Fire Rod and some bottles of medicine, it'll make it much more bearable, and it'll make you more prepared for Misery Mire and Turtle Rock, as you can find an upgraded armor here.

>>5379519
That'd help, though if he found himself annoyed by Ice Palace, I imagine going to Misery Mire first could put him off just as well.

>>5379520
How new are YOU? So-called 'retro-gamers' always used the muh gameplay excuse when their favorite games are compared to more modern ones and people complained about people falling for nice graphics and sounds for a long time and that's not only on this board. It wasn't till a few years ago that this board got invaded by /v/ and some other hellholes like /pol/ and /tv/ and people when more posters are doing the opposite.

By the way, there are a lot of people here with different criteria to judge games on so your statement of 'all they ever talk about' is without a doubt cherry picking. Say about this board what you want but constant circlejerking isn't one of its issues.

>>5378779
This place just hates everything, and they hate it with such intensity that they almost convince people that their opinion is the commonly held one. But it's not.

>>5379520
>calls someone new
>writes "/vr" with only one slash because he's used to writing the name of subs and his habit carried over to 4chan

You got caught. Imagine having so little shame that you accuse others of being new to cover up you own newness.

>>5368987
Best ever? How did it compare to link to the past?

>>5379705
If you're talking about Ribbit I've literally never posted there. If you'd been on /vr (sorry I'm too lazy to give you that second slash lol) for more than five minutes you'd know how much most people here loath having to talk about actual gameplay.

>>5380331
It's better

>>5368987
Looks amazing.

Scrubs with your, Herperdfer like mu games 5 shades of green and it can't git no better.

>>5380331
Link to the Past is not all that great of a game. People only rate it highly because it was the first one that didn't suck complete ass.

>>5380331
Tighter map design, more interesting map layout and traversal, more fun items (e.g., Roc's Feather, plus Fire Rod not limited by a stupid magic meter), better characters, better story, better writing, more open to being fun/silly...

The only thing worse in Link's Awakening is the item management because of only having two buttons on the Game Boy. Updated controls are the one thing I'm looking forward to from the remake.

>>5380471
So much wrong in one post.

>>5380484
Fun fact. Link's awenking's "fire" rod is just zelda 1's upgraded magic rod.
It's not new or original in function

>>5380484
>Updated controls are the one thing I'm looking forward to from the remake
Do we know they're updating the controls? I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to keep it the same.
