    TPHD-Wii U Simple gameplay changes that can have a big impact

    The Tears of Light reduction was definitely a step in the right direction, as was the quickened Wolf/Link transformation. But for a $60 price tag, there's so much more that can be done. And these changes won't be difficult to program into the game. 1. Hero Mode It would take less than a page...

    TPHD-Wii U Predict Twilight Princess HD's Metacritic Score

    I'm assuming that the visuals improve further but are still far from 2015 standards ; and that some faulty gameplay mechanics improve while others are ignored. I voted for "71-75" and "76-80". I doubt it will get above 85.

    IMO: Minecraft happened when Zelda became too linear.

    Minecraft is one of the most successful games of all time and it made one indie developer quite rich. In many ways, the game reminded me of the original Legend of Zelda and some of the earlier Zelda entries. This would have been a perfect opportunity for Nintendo to do something like this with...

    Was Zelda a key framework for the Metroid games?

    Granted, they both appeared around the same time though they have lots of similarities. Open worlds in which the player backtracks through. They tend to follow the similar formula: Go to an area, beat a boss, get a new item, go back to an old area and use the item.

    Oracle of Seasons Appreciation Thread 2015

    A number of things I really enjoy about this game. Subrosia a different overworld - not just a modifed version. Collecting a variety of seeds with different practical abilities. Magnetic Gloves are a great item. Seriously. The Rod of Seasons introduces new kinds of puzzles. That 8th and final...

    TPHD-Wii U Is this a joke?

    The cutscenes were embellished, and while textures have slightly improved, the poly-count and other details remain the same. Despite being a 2016 full retail release on the Wii U, it looks like a 2008 Xbox 360 game. No changes, from what I've seen s0 far, were made in the overworld. It's...
