Lest not forget that Mark Frost helped the LA dev team giving them ideas for the game directly, making it the closest to an official Twin Peaks video game

Honestly I never liked it until the PC port that came out recently. It was such a sluggish game even for gameboy. The slow text boxes, having to swap items out almost every single screen transition sometimes multiple times, the movement speed, everything was just slower than what I was used to. Also just shit like a slow unskippable text box showing up every fucking time you so much as touched a rock. I appreciated its weirdness and eccentricities but I really just couldn't handle everything else about the actual gameplay. PC port fixes just about everything and makes it so much more enjoyable to me, plus being able to see more of the game world is super cool and something I wish all 2D Zelda games could do. Hopefully the Oracle games get ported the exact same way soon because they have all of the same issues but even worse somehow.

Also it's fine if you're just learning about the Twin Peaks influence on LA now but it's not new information and anons on /vr/ have nothing to do with it; the actual LA devs talked about enjoying the series and consciously getting influenced by it for the LA world and its inhabitants. The fact Frost came out and suddenly said he was actually involved in it somehow is new, but TP being an influence on LA is not.

LA is superior but it was on more capable hardware (sans the monochrome), and was released after the 16bit Zelda, so of course it was going to be technically superior. Everything else is subjective, all grrat masterpieces

[Anonymous No.10957647]

Depends. The original monochrome version has text cancel with the B button, for text boxes you've already read, DX one removed this so a lot of people get annoyed by waiting when bumping into certain objects.
Monochrome also has the original dungeon stone slabs which were a bit less obvious than the hints given by the owl beaks on DX, so if you enjoy a slight better challenge, that's a thing.
I would say, play the original first, and save DX for a replay, so you can see what things are new and what has changed. The extra dungeon is a nice incentive but not a total necessity.

It's an 8-bit system through and through. It uses a 4MHz Z80 derivative as its main CPU. Since the the NES used a 1.79MHz 6502 derivative, which btw delivers roughly twice as much performance per MHz as a Z80, the Gameboy's CPU might be slightly faster than what's in the NES, but not enough to put it in a whole separate category. FWIW, the Gameboy has stereo sound, as well as 4x as much RAM as the NES.

It's no one's fault but your own that you refuse to remove the sword, or that you feel the need to use the shield all the time. Two buttons is a bit of a limitation, but it encourages actually using all your items rather than relying so heavily on the sword and shield. I never use the shield (except where the mirror shield is required) and half the time I'm not using the sword. It's actually quite novel and fun to have a Zelda game where you spend so much time with two non-sword/shield items equipped.

The soundtrack, characters, story, artstyle, everything. You have to rescue a bow-wow from kidnappers to eat the swamp plants to open up a dungeon. You can steal from the shopkeeper but he'll kill you with lightning and you'll be called THIEF for the rest of the game.

It's a remake that has it's own charms, while ALLTP is flat and boring.

If you want NES hard adventures filled with mystery and a real sense of satisfying progression, you play the first two.
If you want more involved storytelling, memorable locations, memorable characters, or off-beat Japanese humour, you play LA, OOT or any of the other later games in the series.
If you want a game that literally does nothing great apart from being on the SNES and having some decent production values for the time, play ALTTP, I guess.

The fact that Zelda is a series most people get into as kids, and ALTTP is either the first one a lot of people played, or the first one they were able to beat, clearly colours a lot of the favourable perception people have of that game. I played it after LA, and it just never really did much for me. I had to force myself to beat it.

So, not Ocarina of Time.
ALLTP has more pointless meandering, if anything, since a lot of that map is designed to be maze-like.
In OOT you just walk to the castle, which is right in front of you, and takes about a minute.
And then you can unlock the shortcut that takes you from Goron City to the Forest, and you barely have to set foot on Hyrule Field again.

LTTP didn't have one second of pointless walking. OOT is filled with it. Hyrule field being the most obvious example, but dungeons as well. Lots of walking where nothing really happens. In LTTP you would walk to the edge, the screen would scroll and in that new screen would be enemies, treasure chests, something to do. OOT had lots of....well, nothing.

What monotony? You're acting like Hyrule Field is some Oblivion tier overworld. It takes 60 fucking seconds or less to walk from one place in the field to another. You leave Kokiri, walk to the castle, then walk to Kakariko which is 20 seconds from the castle, then from Kakariko to Zora's River which is another 20 seconds, and then you only ever need to walk through it two more times in the entire game for a combined 2 minutes max.

Games are designed for the first time playthrough. Knowing all the ins and outs of the game comes after multiple playthroughs or getting tips from online or magazines (back in the day). The horse was put in because they knew first time players might not pick up on everything and the walking was too fucking boring.

LA has a far superior ost to Zelda 1 or LTTP. Even the overworld mix which is reused is my favourite version. The second verse changes it completely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTrumdi55tA&list=PLDF2556A8C45BF850&index=7
It also has unique tracks specific to parts of the game and then never used again like the sword search theme at the start, and a unique theme for each dungeon compared to lttp which reuses the same theme again for the light and dark dungeons.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65LXFhqtt5k&list=PLDF2556A8C45BF850&index=5

Tarin, Marin, the shopkeeper, ghost, the goat who catfishes that guy. Again, compared to zelda 1 or lttp it's not close.

Story is more than just generic, save the world against evil guy, and the characters and world actually give you a reason to give a shit about the quest you're on and to feel a bit bad about destroying it.

IMO, the simple almost cutesy GB graphics are charming and more appealing than Lttp's artstyle.

In my headcanon, all the other NPCs were people and animals trapped in the Wind Fish's dream just like Link. Link didn't just save himself, he saved everyone else, too. All the messages that imply the people in the dream will disappear/die when the Wind Fish wakes were just the Nightmare trying to scare Link into not waking the Wind Fish. Marin was actually a seagull that entered the Wind Fish's dream as a human girl and that's why she has that wish to fly over the sea like a bird, some part of her remembers her true form and wishes to wake up and return to her real life.

There's definitely some clear parallels.
Link being an outsider whho finds himself in a place with strange inhabitants (as opposed to most other Zeldas, where Link is already an inhabitant of Hyrule).
The owls, they're not what they seem!
Ancient prophetic wall paintings.
A weird old person who gives you clues, mostly on the phone (old man Ulrira is clearly inspired by Log Lady to me)
A final destination that's in a weird dimensional-warp like place with no clear directions (Red Room - the inside of the giant egg).

Making the sword and shield always equipped removes some of what made the original special and does less to encourage you to use other items. In most Zelda games, the sword and shield are relied on heavily, often to the point of discouraging the creative use of items because it's easier just to whack everything with your sword unless you're forced to use an item for an enemy weakness or something. Link's Awakening treating the sword and shield no differently from any other items is very unique in the series and encourages using all the tools at your disposal. It's very telling when people complain about how often you have to switch items because it usually means they bring out an item to do something specific and then put the sword and shield back on immediately. The game flows much better and feels more fun once you let go of that mentality and just walk around with 2 presently-useful items up at any given time.
