>unlimited Zelda games in the style of 1 through Minish Cap
Why don't we have a general for Zelda Classic like we do Doom?

>>11392873
Zelda threads upsets some people

>>11392873
Funny game about elf
>>
I don’t remember the last time anyone made a thread about 1.
>>
>>11392873
Not as autistic as DOOMfags (Zeldafags don't really care if you like other adventure games more but DOOMfags seethe that people like other FPSes more.)
>>
Seems OP is unaware Doom has it's own culture
>>
>>11393008
Seems anon is unaware of Zelda culture
>>
>>11392873
Because we have 3 "OOT is bad" against 4 "OOT is the best piece of media in history" threads at all times on /vr/
>>
>>11392873
It's because DOOM is actually fun, and Zelda isn't. It's really that simple.

Doom has a modding scene, and gets tons of fan missions released on the regular. Zelda is kinda limited to just discussion about the official games.
I think this is why Doom has it's own culture and general. Same for Thief and their fan missions.
>>
I think Zelda culture is mostly in rom hacks and speedrunning. Zelda Classic is cool but it's always been more niche, perhaps because people prefer hacks they can play on the original console, or because they prefer the 3D games. Also at some point it ditched the direct Zelda connection and tried to present as a generic game engine, ZQuest Classic.
>>
>>11392873
Because on /vr/, there are no Zelda games that existed before Ocarina of Time.
>>
>>11393062
Zelda culture is mostly divided between the games, too. A general devoted to the series would just be a chaotic shitfling shitshow between all the fanboys who think their favorite Zelda is the best.
Doom is simple. Just one thread, about one game, and all the fan missions that have been released for it. There's not really a moment where someone brings up Doom 3 and how it impacted the series. Posts like those would just be ignored for more Doom 1 talk.
>>
>>11393084
yeah no shitflinging about doom versions lol
>>
>>11392873
Randos are the same as what Doom has.
Not saying randos arent fun, but they're randos. There's a billion seeds of the same singular game.
Doom has user made content that a person made, completely new levels, new levels, new graphics, new everything. That creates a community of makers, rather than just players.
Mario has this too, and was shown big time with Mario Maker.

Doom has an active modding community that keeps the game alive. You can turn the game into a roguelike, survival horror, a dating sim, a beat 'em up, looter shooter, or whatever else you can think of. The fact that it has an open-source PC port with extensive mod tooling is the real reason Doom has a general. Discussion of Zelda games on the internet, by contrast, basically falls into one of three buckets
>OOT autism
>LttP autism
><insert current title here> autism
and that's it. I'm not saying Zelda games are bad or that there aren't excellent hacks, but there's just a far less cohesive set of talking points to keep a general thread going in /vr/. Anons can only gush about their favorite dungeon so much before they run out of things to talk about.
>>
>>11393008
>>11393053
I am of the hope the decompilations and now new ROMhacks give birth to a similar culture.
>>
>>11393291
It probably won't because part of Doom's mod scene is that it's been there basically since the start. The game was opensourced not long after release. That said, the decompilations will definitely breathe new life into these older games, including and especially fan favorites like OOT.
>>
>>11393302
Probably not like Doom's scene but at least as autistic as Sonic's, those fuckers somehow make whole new games by hacking a 30 year old game.
>>
>>11392873
Because most of Zelda Classic's user content sucks. If someone has a half-decent idea they'll try to mod it into an official game.
>>
>>11392873
What's the best Zelda Classic quest? Bonus points for originality.
>>
>>11392873
because classic Zelda games like 1 and a link to the past are shit games with stiff gameplay, bad dungeon designs, enemies that are too easy to deal with, and nonsensical overworld designs combined with terrible pacing and backtracking. OOT is the only good Zelda game since it does everything right.
>>
>>11393040
So, which is it?

>>11393416
I'm gonna have to say Mike's Funhouse. The autism is strong with that one but it's fucking incredible.
>>
>>11393474
OOT is a good game.
>>
>>11392873
I tried to run it but it crashes every time and I can't find help online about it
>>
>>11392873
this OP kind if proves why when most these niggers arent even aware of what zelda classic is.
>>
>>11395403
no matter how you dice it, a general would be a good way to curb all the Zelda threads. lets be realistic.
>>
>>11395414
desu i don't really care about all the zelda threads, they just flutter and die
a general would be putrid though. having that shit bumped to the top of the page every day, with shitposters shitting into a wafflecone about how much they LOVE oot instead of "link to the shit", the absolute barbarism that would be cooking in those threads. just no. we don't need a shitposter monolithic thread clogging the top bumped threads of /vr/, just let them squeeze out tiny rabbit sized shits of bad threads that immediately die, until one of them makes a poignant or interesting thread about a game that actually gets more than a hundred posts, deservedly.
>>
If you wrote an OP with some links and reposted it once it hit bump limit or the 14 day expiration like the /hbg/ threads, you would have a general. There's not much use in asking "why isn't there one" when you could just make one and see how it goes.
I could ask why there isn't a general for Total Annihilation when there's thousands of mods for it, but I just really don't care about a thread being here.
>>
Maybe it's just me but it seems like the fanvase for ZC would maybe olay a handful of quests then start working on their own for a decade and never produce anything and never play another quest again.
>>
>>11392873
>unlimited Zelda games in the style of 1 through Minish Cap
I haven't messed with Zelda Classic in ages. Can it handle multidirectional scrolling and rooms that aren't uniform sizes now?
>>
>>11395427
>he's a link to the past fagtard
fyi it's your group that talks shit non-stop. Which is silly since LA and the oracle games are better than LTTP
>>
>>11396230
see what i mean? can't even express a detached example of zeldafags and then this zeldafag runs up on me like he has a "aha, gotcha!"
>>
>>11396321
You're just a dumb troll
>>
>>11392873
Didn't the creators ran off with the open source code after closing it?
>>
>>11392873
You forgot the most interesting bit

>>11396343
Not him but he was clearly just using an example and you yourself make a great example as to why these Zelda threads aren't enjoyable at all
>>
>>11396347
Nintendo hasn't cared about old school Zelda ever since Aonuma took the wheel, so it's fair they never bothered with Zelda Classic.
unless it's demaking one of their golden calfs of course.
>>
>>11394053
>tfw the spinner is useful here than where it originally came from
>>
>>11393291
It's only creating another Fromtard colony.
So many OoT but "whoa dark souls lore" and boss gauntlets out there now.
>>
Will Nintendo hunt for my head if i attempted or release a mod based on Passages' Zelda comics?
>>
>>11396343
Chiming in to call you a retard.
>>
>>11396349
Link's Quest for the Hookshot 2 is really good.
>>
I tried different versions and still can't get a quest to run and there's zero good tutorial anywhere. What a shitshow of a community.
