Why is Link's sword so fucking small in these two games? It didn't feel unfairly small in Zelda 1 and the GBC Zeldas did it perfectly.
Huh? It definitely does feel small in 1, I'd say that ALttP is the first time where your sword doesn't feel like a literal toothpick
>>12114801Zelda 2 is like a dagger but it's normal sized in ALTTP, especially after the first upgrade. Maybe you didn't play the game up until the first upgrade?
>>12114801It was cold
>>12114801>GBC Zeldasunderage b&
>>12114801Boohoo nigga, play Castlevania if you need a giant hitbox.
>>12114805ALTTP the sword gets longer with each upgrade. iirc the biggest difference is between the initial sword (Lv.1) and the Master Sword (Lv.2).
>>12114936the down thrust hitbox is enormous
>>12114863If you don't like the Oracle games, you're not a true Zelda fan.
Zelda 2's sword is small but 3's (LttP's) sword only feels small because it is swung from his side out to in front of him instead of simply stabbed forward.
>>12115178I'd say it feels big because its hitbox is like three times as wide now
Link's swords in Zelda 1 and 2 are Roman-style gladius swords, hence the thrusting attack past his shield and the wide-point design of the sword (meant to help punch through chainmail).
>>12115187I agree, you get a good and generous arc for slashing which is very practical.
>>12115187in 2 games he learned that swords are better for slashing rather than stabbing.
Players used to be more skilled
>>12114936A sword is a phallic symbol, it needs to be huge, but not nigger tier huge.
>>12116798Do you think a lot about black cock?
>>12114801I think it feels just fine in ALttP, but it's definitely way too small in Zelda II.>>12114863All came out over 20 years ago. Get over yourself.
>>12116847Why would you post that?
>>12114801Combat in Link to the Past is easy and you don't need a bigger sword even if you suck. You just don't. Try harder. Zelda 2 is not as easy so, well, maybe call in somebody else to play for you while you just watch and give suggestions for which way to go. It's big enough for decent players.
>>12114801he is younger in those games.
>>12114801>>12114805It's Hobbit proportions, the sword is the same size in both games, just Link is a kid in the first one and a teenager in the second.For Link to the Past, having it be same size as the first zelda would be weird since the sword is almost as big as Link's whole body (which looks fine in an NES game but the SNES would be a little odd).Anyway I don't feel it's too small, it looks like how a one-handed sword should.
>>12115202Interesting
>>12116847Hes traumatized by it
>>12114801How does the ALTTP sword feel small to you? The standard sword is plenty and the Master Sword onwards is even bigger.>>12114969It only gets bigger with the Master Sword, which is a 3 pixel increase.
The real question is what is up with the kokiri sword?That thing is tiny and yet its hitbox is like double the model’s length, they could have just made the sword that long to begin with
>>12121416Probably didn't want to make a Zelda 2 in 3d
>>12114801zelda is the m ost overrated and stale franchises in gaming and it always was.
>>12121571No, that's Sonic
>>12118374It was a good question
>>12116350*have more time and less games
>>12124027I have a hundred thousand games and still choose to improve at just a few. Life is for living, not mere consumption...
