Zelda 2 is my favorite game of all time and different from the others

Zelda 1 and BotW are the only 2 that are open-wprld. The rest are fairly linear.

The 4 swords games are fun but the hardware to set them up are too much of a barrier of entry for most.

Other than that the main difference is if you prefer 3D vs top-down and each game has it's own unique mechanic to make it different enough to enjoy. Except the 2 DS games. Those are garbage
Yeah but who destroys the Gond?

You had me until this. I enjoyed the DS games and I don't understand why they get as much hate as they do.  
 


The controls and stylus uses are neat concepts at first but they end up being a gimmick once the novelty wears off. There is no challenging combat and no interesting boss fights. Damn near ever puzzle in the 2 games has a sign or NPC telling you exactly what to do right next to the puzzle so it's never challenging or makes you think. I mean good lord, the handholding was awful. Most dialogue is drawn out in an attempt to be "funny", but it usually falls flat. The sailing in PH is fun but get boring after a while, and on-track portions of ST are way too drawn out and tedious and just not fun in any way. Little-to-no exploration in both games with minimal rewards. The story is bleh in both games. The best part about ST was the mechanic of having Zelda has a sidekick but the aforementioned lack of challenging puzzles offsets that mechanic. By the end of both games they just felt like a chore and I was making myself beat it just to say I finished them. I forgot to mention my hatred of the controls in Skyward Sword. I didnt even get to the first dungeon because the dialogue and cut scenes and handholding and awkward controls were just infuriating. So glad they made it less linear with LBW and BotW. ]]> Do I really need to play every other Zelda game? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=187561 2019-06-17T23:27:08 -05.00 14u2ponder 65 Originally posted by: Gloves

Try Majora's Mask, it really changes up the gameplay with the three day mechanic. Or BotW as others have mentioned. If you liked the style of LA, I also insist you try A Link Between Worlds, its one of the Top 5 Zeldas, IMO.

He claims BotW is "the same Zelda formula". You're being trolled.

I never got into Resident Evil. I tried it on something, I think GameCube. I just didn't have fun with it and won't prioritize another attempt. Even if someone told me "no no, the others are way different!" I probably wouldn't try them, since they're still RE games, how different could they be? So I can understand what OP is saying, except that he loved LA and doesn't want to touch anything like it.

So, I finished Link's Awakening about 6 months ago and I LOVE this game, so naturally you'd think that you'd want play the rest. But nope. The more I look at the games i could play and the games that are out there, the formula seems extremely repetative, so why do I need to play the same game, in 20 different versions?

Link's Awakening was a masterpiece of simplicity, discovery and everything I liked about Zelda. I feel similarly about Star Wars (the new movies). I like most people saw The Force Awakens and loved it for the nostalgia, but every other Star Wars Movie after the orginal 3, just seems labarious and stupid to me.

What's the point of re-hashing the same old formula over and over again. So it's link's awakening for me and I'm out.

You need to play Zelda II and Wind Waker and you're done.
 
Your avatar is amazing.
