What gave this game such a retro feel?

It didn’t feel retro to me on the Christmas I received it. Running through the light shining through the hallway windows while the orchestra played the castle theme sounded like the most advanced and immersive game experience that 11 year old me had ever had up to that point. Even Oculus hasn’t made me feel like I was there as much as that game did. but I had imagination back then. and I didn’t even know what income taxes or cancer were.

zoomers will never understand but LTTP was such an unfathomably huge quantum leap forward on every single conceivable level from the NES Zelda games

Aged poorly but good at the time describes 90% of Nintendo's catalogue

Mario maker made all 2d Mario's obselete

Imagine a Zelda maker based on the botw engine

People wouldnt buy new games from Nintendo

it felt like such shit to go back to, why does the enemy damage spike so fucking hard once you get to the dark world? It's such a pain in the ass getting to the dungeons that you're better off running past instead of fighting the enemies. It's not like there's an exp system

Because the game gives you hearts every dungeon so you have literally double health by the time you enter the dark world ASSUMING you didnt find enough heart pieces. Early heart pieces are literally "jump down this well" or "bomb this wall" so its common to enter the dark world with 7-8 hearts instead of the base 6.

Also there's this super abstract concept called a difficulty curve that you may not have heard of if you got a lobotomy when you were a child.

This game is so boring, the original zelda was kind of linear, but ALTTP is long which makes it more boring than the first zelda.

I kind of wish they had kept the wider sword swing arc but I guess they thought it would make the swings too slow or just have too much reach.
That old magic meter design also looks neat and it's odd they just made it a boring rectangle in the final version.

The atmosphere was insane. The sound of the rain muffled by the roof, then you walk outside and it's dark and there's flashes of lightning, the forboding orchestral music chugging away etc.

There was nothing "retro" about it at the time, it was cutting edge as fuck.
