The new Switch remake.

For me, it's the original black and white version played on an emulator through a PC CRT with a green DMG style color palette, using whichever controller I feel like at the time.

>>5893543
I'd go with the original unless you really can't stand black and white, the differences are pretty trivial for the most part
>>5893549
nah I'll get it when it's not $60

3DS

>>5893543
Original on super gameboy

Emulator on cellphone output to a 4k tv using a bluetooth ps4 controller with dpad mapped to motioncontrol. Its the only way to play.

>>5893543
GBC version.

the unlicensed window98 port played on a n64 emulator and broadcast to a crt

>>5893558
Wait atleast a year.
Im not going to buy the remake because the original is timeless.
I also wonder what an Ocarina of Time remake would look like.

DX, but ignore the color dungeon for your first playthough.
3DS version is fine if you can't get at least a GBA.

>>5893615
Probably a lot like the ocarina of time remake for 3ds.

>>5893543
Original on a backlight-modded DMG.

>>5893615
>I also wonder what an Ocarina of Time remake would look like.
Uh... anon?

>>5893801
That's just a touched-up port rather than a remake.

>>5893543
You posted it

>>5893823
>DX
colorbabby pls

on a gameboy

>>5893543
Original unless you have to have color. DX is at least better than the Wario Land II colorization but still not as good as what they later did with the Oracle games. It also took some steps to make the game easier which is pretty much the norm for Nintendo remakes, such as adding more hints, making a boss or two slower, and adding OP tunics. The pointless camera sidequest was kind of novel though, but who's going to use a Game Boy Printer?

>What's the best way to play this game?
Playing all three versions in the order of release date.

OOT is just Zelda 3. Theres your demake.

>>5893806
And yet people cry that it's not faithful

>>5893946
the devs did admit that it was like making a parody of Zelda

>>5893853
It's fun to take Marin around and see what gets your picture taken though. Like, more fun than it has any right to be.

>tarin interrupts your date because he HAS to get his picture taken

"Hey Marin hey Link are you taking pictures well you have to take mine too. Thanks ok I'm going home."

>>5893981
>>5893991
so how does it work? I never played DX. What do you have to do to get your picture with Marin taken?

>>5893917
I was about to disagree with you but if you change the dimension hopping mechanic to time travel it is indeed the same fucking game.

>>5893549
> t.

>>5894104
Yup, the child time is the light world and the adult time is the dark world. Both games even have mechanics that require influencing one world with actions in the other. LttP handles it far better, though, with the integration of portals throughout the world and giving you the mirror. Fuck warping back to the Temple of Time every time you need to switch timelines.

>>5894237
>>5894104
>>5893917
>>5893912

What about the goddam oracles games. Those are exactly what you want.

>>5894237
>Fuck warping back to the Temple of Time every time you need to switch timelines
all of... one time, one mandatory switch, and one optional
>>5894252
these are exactly what I want

>>5893549
Fuck you that remake looks like terminal cancer.

If youre not playing the super game boy version, youre missing out on the best experience

>>5893543
Honestly I don't know whether I prefer the original or the DX port. The content added to DX is nice and it's how I originally played the game, but the visuals I think are better in the original. The tiles were changed a lot in DX to account for the colorization and it's not the best (if you want really good GBC Zelda colors, play the Oracle games, especially Seasons where most areas of the game have four different palettes that all look great), and [ending spoilers] I like the perfect ending of LA better than LADX's, where Marin is an angel instead of a seagull, though I also acknowledge the GBC's special ending is more impressive for the hardware. Neither is "wrong" to play, and you could always play the other version on a second playthrough, because the game is good enough to warrant revisiting.
>>5893997
>What do you have to do to get your picture with Marin taken?
Marin travels with you so you can get her to sing for the walrus (this happens in the original game too); in the DX version you can take her to specific spots where the Photographer (a character added to DX) will take a snapshot you can view by visiting his camera shop. You have to talk to the Photographer first for it to happen, but you'll come across his hut much earlier in the game. After Marin sings for the walrus the pictures are unavailable, though.
Spoilers for the locations you have to visit to see all the events:
>visit the cliffside at the southwest corner of the map
>jump down the wall in Koholint Village with her
>visit the weathercock
The only other limited-availability picture is gotten by visiting the Kanalet Castle gate before you open it.

On a game boy of course, pic related

GBC, DX version, as it's the original with a bit of color added in, a couple of bonus dungeons and some glitches fixed.

Switch remake looks awful.

>>5894323
>I like the perfect ending of LA better than LADX's, where Marin is an angel instead of a seagull, though I also acknowledge the GBC's special ending is more impressive for the hardware
The original ending is still in DX if you beat it on Game Boy or Super Game Boy.

>>5893543
With your hard nipples. What? Ask a ridiculous question, get a ridiculous answer.

>>5894525
im pretty sure the DX version only works on the gbc

Probably the DX version on GBC but for the love of god, get this romhack before you play it. Makes text scroll faster and removes the infuriating pop up everytime Link touches something he can't lift.
Just beat the first two dungeons on Switch, it's great fun but I understand people preferring the OG graphics. Any version is good

>>5894562
sometimes people skirt exact words when relaying new topics or concepts
so he was saying the gameboy (color) or the super gameboy addon for snes

I'd go with the remake if you want some new, colorful experience and the original if you want the classic, dreamlike, eerie experience. I loved the original and the remake's artstyle didn't originally appeal to me, but after looking at the DX version's weird use of color I can see what they were going for. I'll give it a shot someday when it's cheaper.

>>5894563
thanks for this, both patches look great

>>5894562
It's a black cart so it plays on OG Game Boy hardware. All the GBC black carts and Pokemon GS play on all Game Boys.

>>5894608
wonderful, better than remake, by a significant generation gap

>>5894293
>>5894169
Way better than this outdated trash lmao

>>5894562
Nope, DX is fully playable on original systems, with the exception of the Color Dungeon (though I heard you can somehow get into it). It reverts several of the changes as well but still has the "get gamebreaking tunic at any time" glitch.
>>5894563
>>5894628
On the topic of hacks, I recommend the restoration as well, which is compatible: https://www.romhacking.net/reviews/4085/

>>5894556
I prefer to play it with my soft nipples to avoid scratching the plastic.

>>5894563
>>5894830
one problem i have when i mix the vwf with the restoration hack, is how sometimes the text changed in the restoration shows like a complete mess

>>5894830
I think the dungeon opens up permanently as long as you talk to the guardians on Game Boy Color first.
>>5894890
Are you using the right game versions? This person managed to get all three working, apparently just patch the Restoration first and you should be good to go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhq6dQU9zcY&list=PLVFlHPy0Pa9tnKV90sPmch_xwvDP8HvwF

Hi friends. This thread is zoomer shit. Plz die.

>>5894932
What i am referring about is when you patch both the restoration patch and the VWF patch the text that was changed in the restoration patch appears in this way

>>5895101

>>5893543
I'm currently playing through this for the first time on one of my GBA SPs. It's pretty fucking great.

in the originals you can try to talk to her and she will get annoyed you're trying to peek and swim away from you

>>5895101
I tend not to stack patches because they can cause unintended issues like that, so if it's a dealbreaker for you then I guess you're going to have to narrow down your preferred way to play.

>>5896221
don't rom patches just act as stamps or something, like a symbol you want to appear when you spray paint, what would actually be problematic in laying down patches in your preferred order?

>>5896231
patches contain just the differences in binary data from the original rom
normally it wouldnt be a problem but if two patches modify the same area in the rom it causes unexpected results

>>5893543
B-BREAK IT DOWN!

>>5893543
Play the Japanese release, it has no edits to artwork, the text crawl on things isn't super-slow, and you can just look up the english script as a reference.

You can't really say that the English version is superior when your only excuse for not playing the original release is that you can't read its language.

>>5897115
bless

>>5897158
>text crawl
Why do the English versions of Zelda do this? It's the biggest reason I prefer OoT 3D over the original.

>>5893543
On Christmas break 1998, catching glimpses of the screen under the yellow incandescent street light as you travel home from your grandparent's house on Christmas Eve.

>>5897348
Do other languages not do a text crawl?

>>5896179
>in the originals you can try to talk to her and she will get annoyed you're trying to peek and swim away from you
No, she doesn't mind talking to you. She gets upset if you dive underwater while next to her.

>>5897158
>tfw no english fan-translation of the game

>>5893543
I reckon using some combination of fingers and thumbs.

>>5897361
Ultimate comfy

>>5897594
OoT 3D allows you to speed up all text. The original game intentionally slows down text on some parts.

My money is on the Switch remake with some aftermarket modifications by hackers

Not having to spend half of the game in the menu switching items around is an AMAZING QoL adjustment that once you have, you can never go back. The remake lacks in many areas though, the framedrops drag the entire experience down and the orchestrated covers really seem to miss the feel of the original tracks. I'd also like to replace Link's soulless face texture with something less soulless

Even as it is, it's hard to recommend the GB/C versions for any reason.

>>5898085
>Forgetting into include the eyeballs
Rookie mistake

Can someone coherently explain why they prefer the original over DX? How does the addition of color hurt anything? It seems like an upgrade with no downside

do a 360 and then walk away

>>5898183
I can only speak for myself when I say, it's for pure nostalgia reasons. I remember it as a Gameboy game and I like to play it that way.

>>5898214
Still, to me it doesn't cease being a "gameboy game" by adding a little color. I guess I regard the GB and GBC as the same platform

>>5893554
based

>>5898183
It's in the text skip being removed.

>>5898182
You play visually? It's 2019 man.

>>5898351
>playing games made in 1993 synaptically
Disgusting. That totally isn't how the developers intended you to play the game.

Why did they make the text tilted in the original? It's fucking eye rape trying to read that shit.

>>5898180
>Even as it is, it's hard to recommend the GB/C versions for any reason.
The absolute state of /vr/.

>>5898183
I like both, but the recolor job somewhat hurts the pixel art's effect. Don't get me wrong, the colored one is perfect on an original GBC screen though. Basically the original is top tier Gameboy pixel art. Most who complain about the DX version colors play on an emulator so the colors are blown out.

>>5898180
>Not having to spend half of the game in the menu switching items around is an AMAZING QoL adjustment
I just wish they hadn't wasted the extra shoulder buttons by just making them redundant functions. Why are L and ZL both dash? Why are R and ZR both shield? It's a waste of buttons, in my opinion.

My ideal control scheme for this game would be:
A - Confirm/Talk/Grab
B - Sword
ZR - Shield
ZL - Dash
X - Assignable items
Y - Assignable items
R - Assignable items
L - Assignable items
D-pad Left - Play Ballad of the Wind Fish
D-pad Down - Play Manbo's Mambo
D-pad Right - Play the frog song

Make full use of the modern controller and reduce the menu time even further.

Would you consider doing a version for the original 1.0 Game Boy release?

>>5893543
Super gameboy on a B&W TV

>>5899486
what's different in 1.0?

>>5899714
It has the screen-warping exploit.

>>5898418
Emulators can compensate for that though. The gameboy interface can too.

The remake honestly looks good, but I can't justify spending 80 CAD on it. Maybe when the price drops.
