What's the appeal of Zelda?>The puzzles are either braindead of "Use X item on Y object" gimmicks>Combat is shallow >Dungeons are repetitive>Story is weakGenuinely, what's the appeal? This is like the middest series in gaming
They are everything you could be looking for in a vudeo game.Good gameplay, level design, sound design, puzzles, OST, story and so on.
>>739832509huh? its an adventure bro like just have fun bro

>>739832509item gatingDUNGEONSI think.
Zelda offers the best sense of mystery in all gaming. There is always so much to discover and all kinds of strange interactions to figure out, which are often hard to call 'puzzles' per se, but you'll want to think about the world and the possible ways you might be able to interact with it in order to find the often very well hidden things in the games. Zelda achieves this in part due to how many different meaningful ways there are to actually interact with the environment and NPCs, which can turn out to be unique solutions if you find out how you ought to use the right item in the right way in the right place/time.This is something no other series does as well, there are only a handful of RPGs that even might compare, and none of them have the same kind of direct, responsive, real time action/control that Zelda does seamlessly.It also helps that its best entries are incredibly atmospheric.
>>739832509The only good Zelda game is the first one on NES and maybe Zelda 2 if you're a contrarian. Series became formulaic journoslop after that.

>>739832509Nostalgic value because zelda did a lot of big things for the weaker console hardware. One can easily point out Ultima and Wizardy as the true pioneers of what adventure/dungeon crawler games came to be, but Zelda 1 did a big explorable world with dungeons and stuff in a very small console next to the aforementioned games being computer games, and the series improved its formula after some games, particularly A link to the past and Link's awakening on how the series' game structure would work going forward. Then you got Ocarina of Time which gave gamers a game with a mildly decent camera and lock-on mechanics that, while already a thing prior to OoT (MegaMan Legends only lacked being able to move while locking down a target, something they did for Legends 2 but that was 2 years later and Tomb Raider's lock on was not similar to OoT's in like at all), it was only one thing or the other, OoT was a good blend of every bit that made a 3d game good back then put into 1, just sprinkle some in-game cutscenes instead of FMV's like many other games of that time did and presto, you got a game that blindfolded people with the most red googles ever.But if you take out the nostalgic and historic value of Zelda, AKA, you look at the series after the release of wind waker, then the franchise is indeed mediocre as fuck. So mediocre that the most acclaimed title after OoT is breath of the wild, a game that can be sincerely called Assasin's Creed/Skyrim, but with a Nintendo label.

>>739834554n o s t a l g i a
>>739832509name a better game and explain how it's better
>>739834835Senran Kagura, big tits
>>739834835Witcher 3, much more epic, cinematic, better combat, more enemy variety, incredible narrative, insane graphics, better music, much more to explore and discover in much bigger world, much much longer, way more replay value, do I go on or is Oot buried
>>739832509youll love nes zelda 1 and 2, they're extremely challenging
>>739834902(You)>>739834942>better combat, more enemy varietythe combat feels like shit and the enemy variety is skins and stat checks>moremore isn't better, it's just more
>>739834942>Reddit 3Snore.
>>739835080it has better combat than Oot, and the enemies are NOT asset flips lmao, talking out of your assmore better IS literally better, it's math.
>>739835203>it has better combat than Ootit's the worst fusion of bamham magnetic combat and dark souls animation telegraphing i've ever had the displeasure of experiencing in a AAA game
>>739832509They're fun. Not everything has to have le super serious cinematic story and mechanics you have to perfect or else enemies will kill you in one hit.
>>739835325>magnetic combatchat what did he say about Z-Targeting??
>>739832509link gives me a boner
>>739835643you're too stupid to discern the difference, no wonder you like witcher 3
>>739835721the weapon connects, it's so over
>>739832509Here's a secret.Every kid that had an N64 growing up in the 90s, pretty much looked like this. Their parents were going through a divorce, or they were doing drugs, and the kids had this blank empty stare while playing N64. You got to understand, the N64 is the closest thing they had to any kind of parental figure. For real, every time you went over to your friend's house and they had an N64, it looked pretty much like pic related. Often times you'd hear their parents arguing in the background, while they just kept staring deeper and deeper into the television, getting lost in pure imagination.It was their life, their fantasy, and as we've seen now, their future. They can't let go of Ocarina of Time, because it would mean letting go of everything that they are as a person.Do not think less of them, it wasn't their fault.
>>739835796I believe it too
>>739835775the weapon connects in dark souls too (which was directly inspired by OOT Z-targeting), but it doesn't have aspects of bamham magnetic combat either
>>739832509It was the precursor to soulslikes and invented damn near everything you know about action adventure games, both 3d and top down 2d
>>739836052So?Neanderthals invented speaking, but you don't credit them for Shakespeare

>>739832509>dungeons are repetitiveI guess, in the broadest possible interpretation. If you don’t like it that’s fine, I don’t Elder Scrolls, Fallout, or GTA.
>>739835961lol Witcher 3 has the same combat as Dark Souls, retard.
>>739838881i cannot imagine being stupid enough to think this
>>739832509Series Peaked on the n64, since then it’s been formulaic slop no different from modern call of duty games
>>739835796Can you post a picture of what the Playstation kids looked like and describe all of the horrible things happening in every single one of their lives?
>>739839001It has wind up, lock on, rolling, and magic. Tard.
>>739839740and magnetic matching between attack animations and potential targets
>>739833971>I don't want to go hiking bro there'll be bugs out there>I don't want to go to a restaurant bro they'll make me eat salad before the food arrivesActual toddler mentality.
>>739841189>Food analogy
>>739839823Bullshit, the only "magnet" is if you kill someone with a critical it plays an animation of chopping their head off. Humans only too.
>>739832509The gorls and the art direction
>>739832509it's a casual game you play to chill with. it's liked because the games have good visuals, good music, easy controls, and are very polished without bugs and bullshit, that's really all it takes.
>>739832509Characters and puzzles, but the latter has suffered now in nu-Zelda.I agree that the puzzles tend to be simplistic and ever since ALttP the games became rehashes of the same shit, with endless railroading. "OH YOU DON'T SAY! I FOUND THE BOW AND ARROWS IN THIS DUNGEON AND THE BOSS HAS A BIG GLOWY EYE?"
That's the OOTslop games. Botw and Totk fixed this issue
>>739842614They made a new issue because botw and totk are just menushit, with a sprinkle of hoarding mechanics because weapon durability is the worst possible thing nintendo's ever added to a game
>>739832509These days?Not being copypaste slop from the entire AAA industry, instead it is copypaste from the Zelda franchise. Which is a bigger deal than you think. AAA adventure rpg games has been the same witcher 3 derivative since ass creed origins kicked off the trend. Even before that, AAA games have >looked the same>played the same>same UI>same key/button layout>same quest design>same equipment slots>same rpg elements>same enemy design/type>same morality system>same dialogue tree>Yellow paintIt's all the same fucking game. But with Zelda you got a handful of games it steals from, instead of the entire fucking goyslop industry which exists due to the jewish greed that prevents games from being in any way different out of fear that "casual" players, or new players would feel confused or lost.Which is why whenever a game breaks the sloppa mold, retards have a meltie about difficulty or poor design. Zelda, as sad as it might sound, feels fresh because it isn't as stale as the competition.
