OoT/LttP started it

>>8600323
>handholdy?
That's great word, I'm using that.
And well, today's kids and adults alike are more impatient and their imaginations are stunted.

>>8600326
LttP really isn't that text heavy or handholdy though. Just compare how LttP and that god awful remake link between worlds open:

>>8600323
HEY LISTEN

HOOT HOOT DO YOU WANT TO READ THIS AGAIN YES YES

>>8600323
OoT had quite a bit of text anonkun

>>8600323
ZELDA REALLY HARD GAME
I FIX THAT

>>8600389
yeah I just said that. are you illiterate?

>>8600323
Video games becoming broader and mainstream appealing to general public more than likely contributed to most games becoming more casualised and hand-holdy as to not frustrate or turn away potential sales from the low IQ and kids.

Not sure if there's some sort of study on something, but I'd like to see it if there is.

>>8600323
People kept complaining that Zelda games had shallow stories. Same thing with Pokemon.

>>8600601
all the superfluous text the later games added only made it more obvious how shallow zelda stories are

>>8600326
Link's Awakening started it, OoT made it the series standard.

>>8600616
It isn’t annoying in LA because the text is fast and to the point, and it’s only really the owl who hand-holds the player.

>>8600323
I know you have autism OP, but sometimes holding hands is good. Good touch.

This is why the original game is the only good game.

>>8600875
why are OoTfags always so strangely defensive?

>>8600323
Stupid games for stupid people.

>>8600382
That stuff is all heavily weighted toward like the first half hour of the game. Navi actually shuts up pretty fast. I don't know why people make such a big deal about her.

>>8600323
If anything majoras mask is more difficult

>>8600646
Wow! This looks
pretty heavy!
You won't be
able to lift it
with just your
bare hands...

>>8601128
only around a third of people who start games actually finish them
probably an even lower metric for "legendary classics" like oot. everyone knows about it but have never played it

>>8600369
>remake

>>8601572
acktually, that was only in ladx from what i heard. though idk why they added it.

They're games for kids, anon

>>8600323
Aonuma and Fujibayashi are inept tasteless fools

>>8601572
B instantly cancels the text lol

>>8601128

I wonder that about the Navi complaints too. I hated the owl for trying to hold my hand, but Navi never bothered me even the tiniest bit. Yet the popular complaint was always about Navi.

>>8600323
Link's Awakening was way worse in that regard and predates OoT. OoT at least made ignoring most of the advice text possible since Navi would justsay 'listen' first and you'd have to actually respond to get the message. In Link's Awakening the advice text is forced on you whether you want it or not in all cases, and it keeps coming up like with the part where you have to click through the text about ice every time you walk near ice.

>>8602374
The meme is just exaggerating the most annoying aspect of her shrill "HEY!" every so often, but yeah I don't know why she gets memed harder than the owl outside his default "No" answer with his first encounter.
I'd guess it's because when you're an adult he leaves you alone whereas Navi is with you throughout the game.

I'm playing LA on an original GB literally as we speak, it does. No idea what >>8602425
is smoking.

>>8601732
not them, but it did start as a remake and became a weird pseudo-sequel halfway into development, that's why the backstory is a weird mix of OoT/LttP

>>8603069
>>8601752

>>8600601
The stories in Pokemon kept getting worse with each gen

>>8600646
I might agree with you, but did you know that this time the compass has a new feature?

>>8600323
OoT is particularly bad for its text speed but it wasn't the first.

>>8605328
>SORRY. I KNOW NOTHING.
based

>>8601781
Also women and transwomen.

>>8600646
The worst part of LA text is the compass' with its "THIS ITEM HAS A NEW FEATURE" every single time you get it. It gets irritating the more times you replay it and have to see that text every single time.

>>8606253
just call them men

>>8606253
>women
Women don’t play games, anon
>transwomen
Case in point

Zelda was never good.

>>8603069
>>8603170
Oh. I was playing the DX version on 3ds. Gonna' test this shit out on the original.

>>8607021
It was good in the 80s and 90s
