Yes, but this also means you preordered Wind Waker, thereby contributing to the downfall of the Zelda series. Wind Waker was the beginning of nu-Zelda. If people would have put their foot down and refused to buy it Zelda wouldn't be dead with its grave being pissed on by zoomers right now.

Anyone who missed it back in the day should emulate it and not award Nintendo's limited edition faggotry.

You could get the other Zelda collection for free by subscribing to Nintendo Power. Didn’t even have to preorder anything. I did preorder Wind Waker though and got this game to tide me over until release. I was disappointed only the dungeons were changed, to be honest. Wind Waker is the coziest Zelda, as far as visuals and music go.

I bought it used at gamestop 15 years ago for a low amount. After it spiked up in value I ended up selling it and just emulating it because I have collectors edition and the n64 version. I don't really care about the master quest version it was just the same dungeons mixed around.

>> No.6843086

Anyone who preordered Windwaker, did this happen to you?

Basically, after preordering, Gamestop later called me and told me that this was being discontinued, they weren't giving them for preorders anymore. It fucked me up, but later they called me back and told me they got it worked out.

Did this just happen to me?

>Wind Waker was the beginning of nu-Zelda
Not really. There are only three Zelda eras.
1: Classic Zelda (LoZ, AoL)
2: Lock-and-Key Zelda (every other Zelda game, except...)
3: Classic Zelda Revival (BotW)
ALttP was the fundamental shift into something different for Zelda games where they cut back on non-linearity and open design while emphasizing "story" and lock-and-key puzzle design (you must find and use X item to progress past X obstacle, like hookshot on hookshot point, and that somehow counts as a Zelda "puzzle")

What a cancerous fucking take. BOTW is about as similar to classic Zelda as Assassin's Creed is. This entire notion is a desperate cope by zoomers to convince themselves that their modern nu-openworld garbage is "real Zelda" and not a Ubisoft knockoff with a Zelda skin.

A "friend" of mine stole my copy of OOT, so I was very happy to get this when it came out. I'm also kinda surprised that there's STILL people complaining about TWW's visuals in 20 fucking 20. It's like some people are eternal 14 year old edgy kids that need brown and mature stuff all the time.
Complaining about the triforce hunt is legit, tho. But still I enjoyed TWW, despite the easy as fuck dungeons. Final boss was kino and the whole game was a great adventure with timeless visuals.

>aLttP focused on lock and key puzzles
No, actually, a vast majority of the puzzles in A Link to the Past involved being aware of your vertical location: How stairs affected what level of the area you are, visible ceilings obscuring the path and your own location, and what areas you could access by dropping off ledges.

(Also, the dungeons don't have to be beat in linear order, even just to get the items. You can skip the hookshot and still access and beat dungeon 4 and 6)


With the next Zelda game (Links awakening) the game had to feel more difficult while also working with a very compact space and with less hardware, and THIS is when the zelda series started adopting a less subtle lock and key design.
