Don't worry, the worst is over. You can play something good now.

Do you think if you kill yourself you'll open a portal to Hyrule?

Helium asphyxiation.

>>8270804

that picture is so sad because it's the last thing you see in the last perfect zelda game T-T

>>8270828
Why did you delete your post? You didn't change anything.

>>8270828
I think you're forgetting wind waker

the music alone makes the game perfect

>>8270828
>perfect
You and I must have played different versions. It was good, but far from perfect.

>>8270834
i always mess up my infinitives T-T my grammer is terrible

this emotion when you will never live in Hyrule.

>>8270837
wind waker was unfinished and so it is technically imperfect T-T

the music wasn't as good as mojaros mask because mojaros was more ambient and synthy

The Dawn Of
A new Day

Ka-klunk klunk

There's a new day tomorrow OP. Please try to be optimistic!

That game terrified me. I had nightmares because of that fucking into, the flying mask and the laugh.

>>8270848
I honestly didn't know this until recently, and when I read it, it really irked me.

I loved Wind Waker so much, and there could have been ever more to that game.

>>8270848
you can't just say majoras music was better because it's a different style.

Wind waker had upbeat, light hearted music that suited the art style and world very nicely. You may prefer majoras style but that's just opinion.

>>8270846
Is that Hyrule from OoT?

It looks nothing like what I imagined.

did he ever find Navi?

No, it's Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link.

The bloodshed caused by eons of arguing is now settled with the release of the timeline on the book that just so happened to come out Dec 21st in Japan.

>>8270860
It's a fact that the music during the final 6 hours was the best music in the entirety of Zelda.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e056R97svz8

Deal with it or kill yourself.

>>8270881
I feel strangely indifferent about this
It feels like the time is right, somehow

Great, now you can finally play the best game, Skyward Sword.

>>8270889
They should play this in the background during the vote for SOPA.

>>8270889
Yeah no, music is subjective.

Listing to Gerudo Valley didn't make me pause the game and run out of the room crying as a kid.

i thought '90s japanese ambient music modeled after brian eno was better than mindless irish folk slightly based on romanticism era but idk

>>8270924
People are complaining that it's too little

/v/ for you.

>>8270923
I've never been firghtened by music but i don't see how it being able to frighten me makes it better than something that doesnt.

Did anyone else get the orchestral cd with SS. I love relaxing to that album

Care to point me a better version of the menu theme?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-UrasDAXJE

Oh wait, you can't.

>>8270937
Everyone who got the game did.

Too bad I couldn't rip the songs right afterwards.

>>8270937
Talking about Gerudo Valley, I prefer the Spanish guitar, but the album in it's entirety is fucking sweet.

>>8270942

>>8270948
oh you

Skyward Sword also have many nice tracks.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOBjA9Ceml8

>>8270947
I love the main theme melody and wind waker symphonic movement.

The only let down is some parts of the twilight princess movement. And im not a big fan of the greta fairy theme to begin with

>>8270948
Well, shit.

How did I never notice this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlkL_TVisrg

Yeah, you want to talk about good Zelda music, you can't pass the BEST Zelda game up.

>>8270955
Wind Waker symphonic movement was orgasmic. I loved how closely the music seems to follow the moods and the events in the game. By comparison Twilight Princess was a letdown in that aspect.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp6xz5hCh2I
now that's a good zelda game.

i completely forgot the lost woods theme till now. confirmed for greatest in game music ever

>>8270972
I loved some of the remixed aLttP tracks on the SSBB ost.

Main Theme (if you avoided pressing start inmediately)
Wind's god aria
Earth's whateveritscalled
Molgera
Puppet Ganon (snake mode)

My ears.

>>8270967
twilight princess still had some great music; midnas lament, new kakariko theme, lake hylia etc. The only problem is a fair few sound very similar

It goes to show that no matter how much they can stuff up a zelda game they can still make some pretty great music

>>8270972
>Kakariko Village
It sounds too hard in my opinion, I always preferred the calm OoT version
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOfXM7gFXso

>>8270986
>Puppet Ganon (snake mode)
This is probably my favorite boss theme in the entire series. All of the final boss themes in WW were great but this one was the best.

Another boss theme I really like is the Twinrova's theme from OoT.

>>8270999
twinrova is my favourite boss. Everytime i replay OoT i always save before the boss and do it 4 or 5 times before i continue the game

>>8270837
Too bad there was that shitty Triforce quest. Or anything sea related. Goddamn I hate when they do that : the sailing, the sky, the train... all for hide the fact the world is really tiny.

>>8271008
i've never understood why people don't like the triforce quest. I had no problem with it, i actually found it enjoyable

>>8271008
The triforce shards were tedious, but I thought the sea was a nice touch, it added immersion and each island had a separate miniquest and there were tons of extra items/charts one could get. Even the triforce charts had their own little quest to get (except for the teacher's joy pendant one which breaks my balls).

>>8271008
I was a bit annoyed with how crammed SS felt, but I guess that does help with the "pre-civilization untamed wilderness feel". It did make me miss the wide-open spaces in TP and WW though, flying was fun but the wide-open area above the clouds didn't feel that big at all.

I'm one of those who enjoyed sailing. As for the Triforce quest, was I the only one who started doing that first thing after it became available? I did them one at a time, so when I couldn't progress anymore and had to finish collecting them I only had like 3 left.

Still the best official manga

;_;

>>8271043
fucking fi almost ruined the game for me with her incessant talking. And zelda was a total bitch pushing me off a cliff twice.

Series should be legend of peatrice

>>8271055
mfw the item check girl is in love with me

but due to my conscience I decline involvement with her

;_;

Fi's talking bothered me a lot at first, but I tried to not let it get on my nerves. At least she's helpful a lot of the time, somehow.

>>8271055
The trials, the imprisoned and the search for the hero song ruined it for me.
I kind of just stopped playing because I didn't care anymore.
Fi was alright, though

>>8271062
The trials where pretty fun, and they got easier instead of harder

Hero Song quest was ok, I loved the flying whale, shit was so cash

>>8271055
I'm in love with Fi. I literally cried at her ending.

remember how not thinking mojaro's mask is the best zelda game meets the criteria for mental retardation

>>8271094
>Mojaro
Was it not Majora elsewhere in the world?

>>8271094
Not really. I just remember people thinking that majoras mask is the best was a clear sign of being a hipster.

Among popular opinion OoT and AlttP are generally regarded as the best while diehard fans generally prefer links awakening, the oracles and minish cap

After learning I could use the toilet in SS, I tried using it again after I got Fi.

...Of course, the developers knew people would do that.

>>8271108
Hey, now. This is not /v/, so no hipster calling and such.

why are you idiots so obsessed with MM? Oot was much better then MM, and SS is the new king of zelda games. i fucking loved SS so much, you have no idea, and i just can't express it enough. so sad its over, and done with the game, i wish it had endless game play time... i just wanna play zelda forever...

>>8271062
I found the trials the best part. It was a nice change.

>>8271116
I can call the 76 people on TVTropes responsible for their Touhou and Touhou Characters article hipsters because they often discuss how Orange and Rin Satsuki should be brought back by ZUN and even put them in their ''top lists''.

There's a limit between having different tastes and just outright claiming X was a hidden gem and everyone who thinks otherwise is childish/CoDfanboy/has no taste, etc.

I've always liked the Zelda games quite a bit, but never really loved them. I've really been enjoying SS however. I can't believe that most of the bosses are actually giving me a challenge, but I don't like Fi's constant handholding.

>>8271062
I also hated that I had to fight that monster who seem to be from One Piece three fucking times.
Trials were really fun though.

>>8271120
mojaros mask did everything ocarina to the future did and more except ocarina had time travel and mojaro had deep plot

>>8271129
I sorta wish you could turn Fi off. Not that I hate her and don't want her in the game, but SS gives the player some other options regarding difficulty, so experienced players or players replaying the game should be able to be given the option to have her speak less/give less information automatically.

>>8271139

Yeah, that would be nice. I'd prefer it if she'd only optionally give you hints instead of reaching a certain point in the game and then having her stop you to tell you something. But despite its flaws, the thing I like most about SS is how agile Link is. I went back to play OoT again after playing SS and I found it a bit troublesome to play without the new things Link could do. I just felt slow in comparison.

>>8271137
mm is not better then oot, if that's what you are trying to say.

>>8271137
Here it comes. The majora's fans only argument. It was super deep and edgy and dark.

>>8271151
Totally agreed with the last part. I really like the stamina gauge, and being able to climb walls. It just makes the entire world seem even more explore-able. It made just walking around more fun, too.

Playing OoT for the 3DS I had to re-learn what ledges Link can climb and not climb.

Did anyone unlock Hero mode in SS? How harder is it than the normal mode?

>>8271165
everything from monsters to lava do 2 times more damage.
hearts can only be found if you are carrying health medals.
the skyward strike will always charge faster on hero mode then on normal mode for all sword upgrades.

i think thats pretty much it.

>>8271163
>>8271151
It just feels weird not being able to strike the sword according to your enemies' defense. I don't want to play Zelda in any other way anymore.

Behold.

>>>/hr/1450347

>>8271183

I know what you mean. Although generally I just dash up to enemies from behind and do a jumping slash to knock them down, I enjoy directional slashing. I've gotten punished for hastily slashing quite a bit because of it, such as the pirate midboss and his electric hook. Block, try to slash, and I'd get shocked because I was slashing without thinking about his defense. Not only that, I like looking at my progress. I thought the first Ghirahim battle would be easy, but I ended up only barely beating him since I kept messing up my slashes. As I played more, I saw myself improving at the controls and it really felt good to look at that progress.

I can't choose. ;_;

>>8271206
I wish they would bring Fierce Deity Link back, or at least his sword.

>>8271157
it's not really fair to compare the two because one is a derivative of a then-5-year-old snes game and one is a derivative of a then-1-year-old n64 game

they play exactly the same, except the items/abilities are condensed

the only things you can differentiate the two for are its dialogue and cool happenings. just read through the script and you'll be able to appreciate its empty, poignant quality. in mojaro, you have a moon that crushes everybody, ambiguous evil devil worshipers, and crazy loli. how can you argue with a premise like that? or are you too scared of living in a world where you're stuck in one place, every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?

>>8271218
>you have a moon that crushes everybody

That was really one of the best parts of the game. The constantly approaching moon and the knowledge that it's going to crush everyone and everything in the back of your mind created a constant tension.

Oh god, that scene on top of the clocktower in the beginning of the game. I had goosebumps the whole time.

>>8271218
OoT>MM

MM<OoT

Did anyone else get tired of SS and just stop playing partway through?

>>8271271
No.
But by the time the 3rd Imprisoned Battle and the rest of that segment happened, I was felt the game was beginning to lose steam.

>>8271271
Me.
Incidentally,
>>8271281
I dropped it at this part when I messed up the retarded catapult jump part the third time and didn't feel like having to do the whole thing all over again

>>8271263
it all depends on the context because they both take too much from each other

it's more like

OOT>MM
MM>OOT

Yahtzee says he doesn't like SS.

Good thing to know that he likes WW though.

I remember getting the Majora's mask soundtrack when I had nintendo power years ago.

>>8271333
>Yahtzee says he doesn't like SS.

That guy is a fucking douchebag.
Pretentious faggot.

>>8271346
but if he liked WW then that gives him some credibility, right?

zelda a shit

Hey, I'm fine discussing Zelda on here, but do you guys have to be so anal and downright immature as /v/?

It seems you are rather new to /jp/.

Great Zelda games: the first one, Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask, arguably A Link to the Past and Zelda 2 (if you're a hipster).
Other games are overrated.

Ys & the Quinted SNES trilogy > Zelda

Guys!

Hyrule is OOT
Termina is Majora's mask.
Get it right.

>>8271482
Hipsters belong in /v/, please return to that place.

>>8271482
how is link to the past "arguably great"

>>8271482
The Oracle games aren't awful. They're my favorite after Link's Awakening

>>8271509
It's when the serie started to get kinda bloated. Game has pacing issues.
Still the best beginning in the serie.

what if hyrule was gensokyo

>>8271353

I don't Yahtzee likes anything that's not an adventure game or PC shooter

This fucking thread, now I have to go replay MM. I didn't like it that much as a kid when I first played it, but these days it's one of my favorites.

/jp/ - Causal games/general

The best zelda game of the past decade.

Discuss.

>>8271523
>Game has pacing issues.
what are you talking about

>>8271609
I gave my character a pixel block dick and tits.

>>8270895
I was having some trouble identifying this one, but isn't it from Zelda 1?

>>8271651
Yes, it is.

>>8271587
Oh look, someone from /v/ who doesn't know what a casual game is.

>>8271651

It looks so small now, but in the 1980s it was overwhelming.

>>8271271
I just lost interest in the fire temple. I just realize that I wasn't having FUN.

>>8271767
So I nostalga'd looking at the map, when...
"... hey, that's not how you get through the Lost Woods. Who the fuck would do that? Everybody knows it's...'
...
...
Oh. It's backwards. Silly Japanese.

>>8271805
Rather, it's not backwards, but since you're walking from right to left, it looks weird.

>>8271055
>>8271060
I like Fi and her voice.
"MAadi madasu!"

Oracle series were the best Zeldas aside from the goron dance

>>8270964
I noticed this when I was a small child.
It really irritated me.
but then SMB3 was a zelda game in other aspects too.

Fi > Midna > Any other Zelda companion

>>8271927
remember how midna is the worst companion of any videogame ever and yet no guro exists for her

>>8271927
I prefer Midna to some robot.

Still, these partners have never really bothered me as much as people claim, maybe Navi's unskippable/unskimmable descriptions in OOT, which I remember were both rare and optional if you were dumb enough to press ^C when she told you to.

>>8271927
I can't think of any companions other than those two and Navi, so i think it should be more like

Fi > Midna >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>> Navi

to make it fair

>>8271938
remember how navi was helpful

>>8271927
Zelda from ST is the best Zelda companion. Then it's Midna > Exelo > Tatl > Ciela > Navi > Fi > Red Lion (srsly who would want to ride an old man ?)

>>8271938
I don't count Navi because Navi was almost totally unrelated to the plot. Midna and Fi are important characters in their own right

I'm playing Skyward Sword right now and I'm noticing something drastically different from the previous games.

It has a really really japanese air to it, whereas the all the other games were either fairly neutral or pseudo-Celtic.

I'm actually noticing this trend occurring in many franchises nowadays.

>>8271951
Red Lions was a bro, sure he may talk alot at the beginning, but every Zelda starts with a wise old entity telling you the setting of the game. He also had a nice twist when you find out he's Daphnes Nohansen, also in the end he actually prevents Ganondorf from getting the triforce and sacrifices himself to save you.

I'm most likely never going to play SS because of my poorfag status, and because that guy who lent me his Wii so I could play TP moved really far away,
I'll just wait for someone to make a good LP of it.

>>8271951
>who would want to ride an old man ?
I can think of some people

>>8271968
It is set before the founding of the first Kingdom of Hyrule, so I'd guess that the more european style structures and such would begin to appear after Hyrule was founded

I have trouble relating to people who thought Navi was annoying. When playing SS I kept thinking "Wow, the people who complain about Navi will hate this girl" because she just talks so much all the time. Navi was always efficient and straight to the point, but there are still people who hate her to this day.

Also Ezlo is probably my favorite companion-character. I also haven't played ST, I should, Zelda as your side-kick should be good.

I also don't love Midna. I don't hate her or anything, but I never liked her design that much. I prefer Fi over her.

>>8272006
Fi gets a "You called me?" dialogue with a "Oops no I goofed" option to send her away immediately. If you accidentally hit Navi's button you'd have to sit through her whole spiel no matter what.

Fi is god damn terrible. She never tells you anything important or useful, she CONSTANTLY pauses gameplay to tell you inane bullshit you already knew, she has absolutely no character whatsoever...I don't see how anyone can like her.

>>8272015
But Navi only says things like "Maybe we should try going to Death Mountain," or other one-liners to that effect.

Linebeck was the best companion

WHY CAN'T I BRING FI TO THE BATHROOM WITH ME.

Goddammit, even the implications would have satisfied me.

>>8272006
"navi is annoying lol" was the '90s version of "the cake is a lie lol" except nobody moved on from it

I was going to play zelda one day, then I took an arrow to the knee.

>>8272015
>her whole spiel
Two or three boxes at most. And how do you hit the button by mistake?

Fi's dialogues are usually much longer, and she has so much dialogue scripted into the game, which you can't skip.

I didn't find any of them to be unbearable, and annoying would seriously be pushing it. But loving the overly wordy Fi and hating straight-to-the-point Navi just doesn't make any sense to me.

>Hey Link, if you help me find my buddies I'll tell you where Zelda is.
>Master, there is a 85% chance that if you help this creature find his friends, he will tell us where to find Zelda.

>Oh fuck how do I kill this thing Fi help
>Master, this is a Bokoblokobloblin. You have to hit it a certain way to defeat it.

>Master, there is a 99% chance that Din's flame is located in this volcano. Be on the look for fire. In this volcano.

>Master, there is a 70% chance that you are getting your ass kicked.

>>8271609
What was the name of this again.
I remember hearing about it but the name escapes me.
In return here is Fi ass

>>8272033
I think he's pushing at the wrong point of annoyance from Navi, it wasn't her dialogue that caused annoyance, it was the constant chirping of "Hey!" "Listen!" "Hello!" and all that when you're doing your own thing just to tell you to get on with the main quest. Midna's giggling wasn't much better. Fi doesn't do that shit at all, as far as I've seen. At most she makes your sword shine when she has more info.

>>8272018
>she has absolutely no character whatsoever...I don't see how anyone can like her.
moe speech impediment
oh come on you don't think auto-tune is a speech impediment?
she fucking calls you "Master"

It's almost as if she's a character straight out of my eroge VNs

>play OoT
>Water Temple
>NOPE.jpg
>controls feel like total ass after Skyward Sword

>over time he gets more and more aggressive, when he jumps on my sword he actually attacks me

I didn't remember that his AI got more and more aggressive. Ocarina is one of least favorite Zelda games, not to say it isn't great--but it's the little details that make me really appreciate it.

>>8272048
>>8272048
>Midna's giggling
What, when you're a wolf?

>>8272058
>Ocarina is one of least favorite Zelda games, not to say it isn't great--but it's the little details that make me really appreciate it.

I can't tell if you like it or not from this sentence.

>>8272048
I can understand if this was the case, but that wasn't what the post said at all.

But I want to add I really liked Tatl's bell-sound. it's more subtle, but still cute and memorable.

Who cares about Fi's annoyance, she's what every fanboy wanted, Master Sword-tan.

Prepare for delicious fanart.

>>8272058
GREEN

Hey! Listen!

wich tuho wud ghirahim fuk???

>>8270873
Link to the Past was the best Zelda game. Everything is needed. Nothing is extraneous. Everything works. Top-down master race. Mythology simple and awesome, without all the stupid shit added later.
