@TraysonL Oh! Well I appreciate it lmao. I’m sure Totk will be great. For all the slack I give BotW, the fellas at Nintendo are still competent designers, and I’m sure they understand it’s flaws just as much as I do.

[Robin Poe 🐑 @RobinPoedev]

@qepmy3rd the more notable flaw is that im using the word slack incorrectly.

@LeoDoPerigo @TraysonL It was a different era…

[Robin Poe 🐑 @RobinPoedev]

its interesting looking at promotional material for Ocarina of time and realizing that it being 'the greatest video game of all time' was a narrative constructed and marketed to people even before it released. you don't see that kind of dynamism and confidence in marketing now

@GeeksGrimoire No diagonal movement was always going to be how the game worked, but I recently added the x,y lock

[Robin Poe 🐑 @RobinPoedev]

on the bright side, i found out how to replicate Zelda1's Shitty axis lock movement system in Lass

[Robin Poe 🐑 @RobinPoedev]

apparently this was an intentional design decision on their part, there is no reason it had to be like that. its really quite convoluted. god i love zelda 1

@cdranzer87 @DDwili 2001. My first decade was almost entirely gba/ds/gamecube. The zelda collectors edition anthology was where I spend a decent chunk of my time

@JaydenXV_ Truth nuke

@cdranzer87 @DDwili For me It was almost certainly among the first, if not the first.

[Robin Poe 🐑 @RobinPoedev]

@cdranzer87 @DDwili It’s, in part, why the bar is lowered across for the rest of the game.

[Robin Poe 🐑 @RobinPoedev]

@cdranzer87 @DDwili If someone is particularly inept with navigating 3d space or more buttons on a controller it can for sure require more from them personally then a 2d game. but undeniably oot bends over backwards to help you as much as it possibly can in this respect.

[Robin Poe 🐑 @RobinPoedev]

@DDwili @IchhabkeinAuto I quite like the narrative. How’s about you learn to read.

[Robin Poe 🐑 @RobinPoedev]

Don’t get me wrong, I like oot for a lot of reasons, the art, the story, the nascent gameplay systems. But omfg, its gameplay structure is a poorly thought out vestige of a nes game thats held together with padding and deliberately sabotaged by the scenario writers at every turn

[Robin Poe 🐑 @RobinPoedev]

The “Traditional Zelda formula” dares to ask: “what if metroidvanias weren’t fun?”

[Bring Back Banjo @BringBackBanjoK]

Ocarina of Time outselling Breath of the Wild would be the good ending.

A reminder to Nintendo that nothing trumps the traditional Zelda formula🤞

[Robin Poe 🐑 @RobinPoedev]

@cdranzer87 @DDwili Given that this is a discussion about game structure/formula, start there.

[Robin Poe 🐑 @RobinPoedev]

@cdranzer87 @DDwili What the fuck does Its innovative 3d systems have to do with what I said. If anything it bends over backward even more for casuals in part to compensate for its 3d novelty

[Robin Poe 🐑 @RobinPoedev]

@DDwili you have no perspective at all, the dividing line in your pea brain between what counts as a 'newgen baby game' and whats 'for hardcore gamers' is whenever you turned 18

[Robin Poe 🐑 @RobinPoedev]

@DDwili this is a hilarious thing to say to me of all people.

its also my favorite brand of delusional. Ocarina of time was in 1998 a simplification/streamlining of design for a more casual audience. Yellow paint is famously the secondary protagonist of the game.
