With the way the worlds going, I don't know if there's gonna be much left to live for in five years for anyone anyway, good enough time frame to check out. Damn, though. Enjoy the time you've got left, brother.
On the topic of beating old games I went back and beat super mario bros. 2 , the japanese lost levels game. Just to make sure I could do it. Wind levels suck. Anyway I think that's pretty much covered a lot of old missed classics now.
Since I brought it up I was kinda disappointed with Link to the Past. For some reason it felt smaller than Zelda 2 on NES. It might be the lack of towns or side-content, but yeah, the snes zelda game really didn't wow, it's certainly no contender for GOAT like Ocarina or Majora.
And I guess Echoes of Wisdom if you want to count that? Tears of the Kingdom I played partway through but just got annoyed with it and never got around to finishing it.
I had been on a Zelda kick lately. It's hard for me to say for sure if I had beaten any of the older games before Ocarina of Time, so I went back and played and definitively beat the original LoZ and Zelda 2 on NES and A Link to the Past on SNES.
I also finished a playthrough on a modded PC version of Majora's Mask just because that's my favorite game and it had been a long time since I last played it. I think at this point the only console Zelda games I haven't played are Skyward Sword, Four Swords Adventures and TotK.
I've been making double payments to finish off my car loan early so I've been dumping about $600 a month to finally pay off my car fully next week. If I just continue to tuck my extra big car payments away for 2 more months it'll basically be like breaking even here...
The past few weeks I've been playing this fixed up fan port of Zelda: Majora's Mask for PC and it's probably been the most fun I've had with a video game in a while. Damn, this was such a good game. I'm honestly bummed out that I finally finished it 100% last night.
