Wooooow, fuck you Nintendo. How the fuck was I supposed to know that?

Is this a parody of this mindset?

No.
Shooting gallery? Optional.
Bombchu bowling? Optional.
Chicken game at Lonlon ranch? Optional.
Some Zora dink wants me to play his diving game? Absolutely necessary.
Wasted so much time trying to figure this out. Searched the Zora cave inside and out. Searched Lake Hylia. Searched the castle courtyard. Visited Zelda again. Visited Saria again (ocarina phone AND in person). Its just plain stupid.

Total zoom zoom. Yeah you are expected to play the fucking game and discover things on your own. The gme guve you multiple hints, so it's your fault if you don't see them.

when I was playing oot for the first I got stuck for hours on pic related spot. I had the idea of playing the song in that room right away, but when I did I wasn't in the right spot in front of the goron, so nothing triggered. So then I spent several days exploring the overworld and turning every stone until I finally tried playing it again and this time it worked. I never liked any 3d zeldas that much but that especially soured me on oot.

We used to have a kids' tv-show with a segment that had two kids playing this mini game against each other. Forgot what the winner got to take home. Maybe a copy of Zelda or something.

[Anonymous No.8038602]

>>8037836
i played it on release as a kid, big guy. the game is just needlessly obtuse at certain times. OoT is my favourite game of all time, btw

[Anonymous No.8038609]

I'm with you, I hate minigames that are required to advance the story. MM and the oracle games have them too.

[Anonymous No.8038881]

Imagine not doing everything in the game at least once regardless of what the reward is going to be.

Besides that what the fuck are you talking about, most mini games get you items like a bottle or inventory upgrades or a heart container.

I bet you don't talk to every NPC either.

[Anonymous No.8039198]

>>8036672
Do you mean specifically in OOT? Or games in general?
I'm pretty sure that in OOT, and in most games, minigames unlocks stuff...
Is this bait? Sarcasm?

[Anonymous No.8039203]

>>8036719
All of these gives you something for properly completing them BTW
Why wouldn't you want to collect the stuff, even if optional?

[Anonymous No.8039217]

>>8039198
>Is this bait? Sarcasm?
A zoomer, perhaps. As overplayed as the meme is, they actually *do* hate oldstyle games specifically because they feel everything should be handed to them on a silver platter. They want to be told they're the greatest simply because they are, not by virtue of skill or even dogged persistence.

During the Wii I got Ys I & II on the VC. It's just so minor, but it felt really goddamn good to actually have useful NPC messages again that tells you to do stuff you actually gotta try like searching that one tree for example
Currently having the same sort of great feeling with La-Mulana 2

Definitely not Nick Arcade. That show ended six years before OoT came out lol.

I watched some episodes of that and they would often play some fucking shitty shovelware and the prizes sucked
Nothing like seeing the kid's eyes light up at the sight of some Dragon Ball toy, that's what the kid came to win, but instead he gets a fucking watch or some dumb shit nobody would want, on top of winning the latest GBA SpongeBob shovelware

Hmmmm!
Very interesting!
This is a Big Poe!
I'll buy it for 50 Rupees.
On top of that, I'll put 100 points on your card.
If you earn 1,000 points, you'll be a happy man! Heh heh.

Finding all golden skultulas or finding the final sword was far more difficult than figuring out where the diving mini game was. I'm surprised this filtered anyone.

I feel like I'm being baited here. This isn't even a hard or obscure part in the game. I see people whine about not knowing that they needed to catch a fish to feed to Jabu Jabu, and I see people complain about backtracking to the Lost Woods even though there's a direct shortcut if you use your brain for a second. Those complaints are braindead but understandable coming from a ten year old. This? I can't even see this shit coming from a kid. How can one be so spectacularly retarded that you're being filtered by the prospect of having to dive under water and grab roughly five rupees in order to progress? Sure, maybe most minigames are optional, but you always get something out of them. Before this part of the game you've had the opportunity to get a larger seed pouch, bombchus, two bottles and a whole bunch of heart pieces just through minigames.
Wouldn't you think that if you're stuck and can't figure out how to progress in the fish town, than you might want to see if the innocuous minigame guy standing at the highest point of the domain would give you something to help you progress, or if not, something cool or useful? Why would you go back to Saria and go to the Castle Courtyard before trying this? Were you dropped on your head?

For me, it's Din's Fire
>play game for a couple of hours
>it's piss easy
>game handholds you to the fairy at the top of death mountain
>she gives you some gay spinning attack you'll never use because you can already steamroll everything
>offhand remark "btw I have a friend near Hyrule Castle"
>think she'll just give me another dumb attack I'll never use & forget about it 10 seconds later since I'm doing other shit
>7 years later
>unable to access shadow temple since you didn't as a child go to the place you otherwise never have to go until the very end of the game
It could've been easily fixed by just swapping the two rewards, with the fairy on Death Mountain giving you Din's Fire instead of the one in Hyrule Castle. And it'd make more sense too since she's the one right next to the fucking VOLCANO.

[Anonymous No.8040969]

>>8040331
you can light the torches without din's fire and in addition to the giant boulder and sign post sitting right next to the castle, a guy in the back alley of the market tells you to go there.

the game isn't really that big and this shit is pretty obvious. I'm starting to think most of you guys are retarded when fucking 3D Zelda filters you.

No shit. I imagine you're pretending to be retarded because I don't think anyone that's actually that retarded would be able to figure out how to post on 4chan

Is this pasta? In 23 years of OoT existence it never occurred to me someone could have something against the diving game.

As an ESL kid I didnt have any trouble with it. I just mashed my way through text boxes, in this case, seeing it triggered a mini-game I simply went ahead and completed it.

I would never imagine anyone would think it to be too cryptic.

[Anonymous No.8042062]

>>8041797
OK Pablo. There wasn't anything cryptic about it. I spoke to the zora and told him 'No' when he asked if I wanted to play his gay minigame. Minigames give you optional bullshit and I was focused on the main quest.

[Anonymous No.8042075]

>>8041697
This isnt a false flag. I enjoy OoT. I've almost finished the game twice now.

False. I can't stand games that play like movies.

Playing a dumb fucking minigame isn't adventure. Adventure is exploring the map, clearing dungeons, and talking to the NPCs is adventure. Fags.
