Why is /v/ so fucking contrarian and retarded about this game?It's about as perfect as an action adventure game can get, and the closest any retro game has come to a true 10/10, and yet /vr/ has the fucking gall to call shit like Zelda 2 and Alundra better
>>736432852Zelda II is better personally
>>736432852It's worse than NES Zelda, Link's Awakening, and OOT
>what if we took Zelda 1, added more mandatory cutscenes, had map markers, and have more NPCs explicitly tell you where to goALttP does everything /v/ hates in modern games
Now that the general consensus has shifted toward OOT and BOTW being better / more important games it's easy to overlook or even shit on lttpAlso link between worlds exists and that's fun too but it's also kinda sorta a remake and further muddles the legacy
>>736432852stop responding to spam posters
>>736432852It slows down a lot with some of the later Dark World dungeons.
what do you guys think about zelda 1 second quest?
>>736432852It's forty year old boomers who are upset that Nintendo chose to keep growing their audience instead of pandering to them.
Does this franchise have a single good game or is it the combined mediocrity of AlttP, BotW, and OoT? Mediocrity across the centuries.
>>736432852the sword's too short, one of the worst feeling swords across the entire franchise. Feels like shit to cut grass. Bad zelda
>>736432852anyone who said that zelda 2 is better is a masochist retard, especially when it has shit like the hidden village in it. lttp is solid but oot/mm are my favs and link's awakening is my fav 2d, lttp comes after those though. i still remember hitting dark world for the first time and realizing i had only scratched the surface of what was in the game.
>>736432852better than all 2d indies btw
>>736434969Name 3 better franchises
>>736432886Zelda 2 is great for scope and ambition, but the execution was honestly trash.Still one of my favourite overworld maps, though.
>>736432852>Why is /v/ so fucking contrarian and retardedCould've ended the post right there
>>736432852Zelda 2 and Alundra are better. ALttP is just a nice 8/10 game. Also, ALBW is better too
>>736433084>mandatory cutscenesWhat?
>>736433084zelda 1 is good even today but it's not ALTTP good. ocarina is better then ALTTP tho
>>736432886Zelda 2 is dogshit, it's a downgrade from the original in every way, while ALTTP is the true sequel to Zelda 1 and improves on it across the board
>>736433084The manual in Zelda 1 literally lays out the first 7 dungeon locations for you and has a massive map that shows almost every secret. ALTTP has less obtuse secrets and progression as it isn't dependent on the manual completely laying everything out for you. ALTTP also has far better puzzles, and much more complex enemies, bosses, and dungeons.Stupid fucking zoomer mutt
>>736436131>jarpiggy grinding crap in an action game>this jarpiggy grinding crap leads to MASSIVE power differences>where just a couple levels (few minutes of grinding) makes you literally TWICE as strong>instead of actually adventuring and finding gear that gives you a satisfying power increase, you.... just farm the same trashmob 200x and congrats you got the master sword now!!!>trashmobs can take 10+ hits to die and one shot you, or die in one hit and need 10+ hits to kill you purely depending on your jarpiggy grinding level>shitty, broken hitboxes for numerous enemies>tiny little dagger sword that jabs 3 inches in front of Link>combat is massively dumbed down as you only have left/right to move instead of all four directions, and most fights are now just 1v1 instead of vs multiple enemies; nothing better exemplifies this than the shitty final boss where you sit in a corner the whole time>magic system that encourages just ignoring enemies>generic recolored dungeons Zelda 2's combat is complete shit and a total downgrade to the original (and especially ALTTP)You're an absolute fucking retard and should kill yourself
>>736432852Half the board loves it, half hates it. Almost every game is like this.
>>736432852The best Zelda game ever!
>>736432852>>736432852Definitely way better than Zelda 2. Alundra is very underrated though and while I don't think it is as good as ALttP, it is very fucking close.>>736433084The map markers did annoy me a little bit, but I don't mind talking to NPCs to figure out what I need to do one bit. Engaging with NPCs is a lot better than following a quest log since you have to engage with the world rather than a pause menu.>>736436182In no universe is OoT better than ALttP.
>>736432852There's a certain irony when a perfect game is made and it's peak for its generation. Inevitably there will be nerds who play some unknown game and instead claim the unknown game is the hidden gem that beats everything else
Yep, it's basically perfect... controls, gamefeel, combat, artstyle, atmosphere, soundtrack, enemy designs, boss designs, overworld, hidden secrets, pacing, puzzles, dungeons, story, replayability. Not to mention it is like THE single best game for randomizer runs (due to aforementioned perfect fundamentals).LITERALLY the only flaws it has (and they're very minor at that) is reused dungeon music and lack of Hard/Hero mode (fixed with romhack now).It's just one of those games that is so good it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy when you play and then you feel a bit sad when you see the credits rollZelda 1 is also really great, my favorite NES game, but the combat feels a bit barebones, and the 'bomb every wall' gimmick used for every single dungeon gets old quick.Zelda 2 is a huge downgrade from 1, but I mean it's just more Zelda, so it's still somewhat fun. Best played with a guide though, as the progression is very obtuse and the translation is poor
It's the first good Zelda
*be a straight-up upgrade of Zelda 1 in ur path*
>>736434329>forty year old>boomers
>>7364328524/10 game. It controls like shit and has aged like sour milk
Unpopular opinion but ALTTP is genuinely terrible. I loved Ocarina of Time though, that was great.
>>736433084and don't forget made it way easier
>>736435926Resident Evil, Grand Theft Auto, and Mario
>>736432852It's not retro, you retard. It's just old. If a game like it were made today, it would be retro.
>>736438597Newfag.
>>736438904If it csme out today it would be lucky to get 4/10 reviews
>>736433084It's rollslop.
>>736438749Popular opinion but you are a retard
>>736438663The controls are about as flawless and intuitive as you can get, and it's extremely precise and responsive.Literally what the FUCK are you even talking about?
The game is awful, dude. Just accept it.
>>736439256This but Ocarina of Time.
>>736432852It's okay, but not as good as Zelda 1 or 2.
>>736439205Nostalgia goggles. The animations dont even match the hitboxes on the sword. You literally cant turn around without walking in that direction. Its literally abysmal dogshit. Links awakening mogs the shit out of this turd game
>>736432852its basically 2d dark souls
>>736432852The game requires you to know english, i didn't know much english back then, so I spent forever roaming around, not know you had to meet that old hag in kakariko, then later go to the other side of the map to meet the old man with the really fucked up name.
>>736439472>You literally cant turn around without walking in that directionYes you can? Just hold the attack button down.
>>736432852Are they?I think it's fairly rated among the best (top 5) Zelda games.The only people that disagree are your average /v/ troll who posts shit like this on every thread (no matter the series):>>736432886>>736433084>>736436131
>>736439719No that does the sword spin attack
>>736439673Also after finishing the hyrula castle part, you skipped what the princess tells you to do, you're cut loose into the world not knowing what to do, you were basically fucked, you could get lost as far as lake hylia or the forest and not know jack what to do.
>>736439787Oh, my mistake. I misread your post as a complaint about not being able to walk in a certain direction without having to turn to it.
>>736439472You're used to modern slop with sluggish controls for this exact fucking reason.. where you can't just go in a direction, you have to about face toward that direction THEN start moving. Bonus points if you emulate or do NSO for even way more input lag.ALTTP feels so responsive precisely because it doesn't have all that bullshit, it has short animations and snappy, responsive movement.
>>736432852My only gripe with ALTTP is the music soundfont. It's rather subpar for a SNES game.
>>736440309Its dogshit and makes you walk into enemies when you turn around to hit them with your limp dick sword with a faulty hit area. Btw all of this was literally fixed in the next game, links awakening, which is a better game in every respect
>>736432852Kill yourself, you fucking manchild.
>>736442193>the game on weaker than NES hardware with 60% less screen real estate, a potato speaker, 4 colors, and only 2 buttons was better than ALTTPGet the fuck out of here retard. LA is impressive for its hardware, but ALTTP mops the floor with it, it's not even a fair comparison.Vast majority of retro games don't have separated turning and movement, that's shitty modern gaming with animation bloat. ALTTP is an incredibly fluid and snappy game, and you sound like a fucking autistic retard.
>>736442193>>736442965I literally just tested and both have the exact same turning mechanic, where you have to move in a direction to face it, but the step size in both is very small (I believe ALTTP is actually even smaller)In conclusion, you are an autistic retard spewing bullshit
Is there anything on the genesis similar to alttp other than landstalker?
>>736443797Nope. SNES has basically no good action games, but the one good one it has (ALTTP) completely mops anything on Genesis
>>736432852It's honestly one of the few zelda games I played to completion That, WW, and OoT are my favorites, in that order
