The only thing keeping this from being the perfect Zelda game is the lack of buttons. Sometimes you end up stopping every 3 feet to swap items, it gets annoying but it's not usually a problem.

Other than that though, I love everything about this one.

The only thing keeping this from being the perfect Zelda game is absolutely nothing.

Maybe someday someone will hack in extra item slots. And somehow let you bind extra buttons through an emulator. One can dream.

Wow, it's actually a breath of fresh air to see this opinion. Most of the time it's just a circlejerk about how OoT isn't as good as Majora's mask because MM was dark.

I agree though, OoT is a masterpiece.

To be clear, MM isnt good. OoT is top tier

The switch version was a good effort, and it fixed that particular problem. It feels like the new one was nerfed in difficulty though.

really the item swapping doesn't get tedious, at least for me, til the end game. That's mostly because you can use all the shortcuts at that point so you're still saving tons of time back tracking. it's only noticeable because it stops gameplay but it's still less tedious than walking the same dozen screens you already have memorized just to get back to a place you just were.

>>6924742
with all the crazy shit we've seen with mario 64 over the last week or so and the Nintendo leak I wouldn't be surprised to see similar projects popping up. A PC port that incorporates some memory swap that's binded to a hot key doesn't seem impossible. Press 1 to assign sword to the B slot, press shift+1 to bind it to the A slot, press 2 to assign shield to B slot, etc.

It's understandable why it doesn't though, they remade it for a new generation that didn't grow up with the same rigidness that old games had.

Don't get me wrong I hate Reddit too, but it's clear a lot of people on this site have never been there. Just like a lot of people on Reddit have never been to 4chan and they have over-the-top complaints about it that aren't even true.

I was a redditor from 2014 to July of this year, I have a huge list of reasons for hating the site.

>>Linear as fuck world
Linear isn't inherently bad, especially now that we know "open world" games can be bland as fuck, but I still disagree, LA's map feels like every single tile on the map counts, and you can't access certain parts unless you find certain underground paths. I love how in many cases you can see certain things, but reaching can be quite complex, or requires certain late-game items to access. LA is less about wandering through empty spaces, and more about knowing how to reach certain places.
>>Boring landscape
Disagree, it looks fantastic.
>>Every dungeon feels the same
What do you mean "feels"? Anyway disagree again, and the music in each dungeon is also great.
>>Stupid mini quests between dungeons
I thought the trading sequence was pretty fun, and seeing the different character's side-stories develop was funny (like delivering the photo of Princess Peach to Mr. Wright from the goat girl)
>Fun game, but it doesn't compare to ALttP
