It kind of doesn't. I've tried going back to this game and it's just kind of a slog. Too long for its own good, bosses are too same-y, lots of trekking back and forth across a map that's too big for its own good looking for weirdly specific event triggers and NPCs, bad combat, subpar dungeon puzzles... It's not great. I liked it as a kid, but even then I never really finished the game because I would just lose interest after a while any time I tried. And it's not just that I couldn't or can't handle slow-paced or long games, because I also played and loved games like Final Fantasy 6. Was it that I'm too brainlet for exploration? No, I fucking loved Super Metroid and even the original Metroid. I really don't know, all I can say is that LttP just isn't a terribly compelling game despite the fact that some people here will rape your mother's dog for suggesting such blasphemy.

>> No.6277761

>>6277740
Maybe the existence of indie games does taint it to some degree, but the fact that they all fail miserably to match (let alone surpass) their inspirations makes me value Link to the Past and other influential classic games more highly, so in the end while the opposing effects aren't equal in type or intensity I think it almost balances out for me

For me, Alttp is very much connected to nostalgia, sense of wonder, and coming of age. When I was 4-6 years old, I used to watch my parents beat the game whenever I was home sick from day care or whatever. I really loved watching them play and explain the game, and I longed for the day I would be able to beat the game myself. Man was I proud when I finally did it.

I still play the game once every 2 years and even without nostalgia goggles, it's a really good game. Still get an oxycotin boost from the triforce intro. Great combat, great puzzles, and a good balance between linearity and free roaming. Wouldn't call it compelling or "epic" though.

Personally - I think it's pretty good from the start. It hits its peak when you only have 3-4 dungeons left and have access to pretty much everything with the mitts, hookshot etc, and finally can start to upgrade your shield, sword and mail

this game is awful. i never could figure out why people like this series so much. link is such a simp. i could never like a main character who does that shit. you are all bots and should find a good game to play like escape from tarkov or modern warfare the trilogy its awesome. mw3 is awesome because the guns are really cool.

>Wouldn't call it compelling or "epic" though.

That's oddly always been my major issue with Zelda, it's a high fantasy game, but never feels epic, instead seeming very "Mario esque" for lack of a better term, it's been hard for me to get sucked into the world of Zelda like one should for a grand adventure since I was a kid

That being said, still a great game. I don't see how anyone says Links Awakening was superior at all.
