    Spoiler Themes Within Link's Awakening

    You cast some interesting points and capture what, essentially, is at the heart of the game. What I took away from it was just a bit different, however: What bothered me most in regards to LA was the exact tangibility of the characters; that is, the reality behind, say, Marin: was she a true...

    General Zelda (Poll. Updated) Which Zelda Had the Best Overworld And/or Dark World?

    In such a case, you likely haven't gone exploring... Twilight Princess' overworld is positively brimming with winding caves, hidden grottos, out-of-reach areas, and tons more... including, curiously enough, what I assume to be (read: probably isn't) an old bunker just south of Zora's Domain I...

    General Zelda What Do You Want Out of the Tone of Future Zelda Titles?

    ...I'm not entirely sure you pried deep enough to come to anything with considerable substance in the first place; what exactly was the "watered down" theme in question?

    General Zelda Why Does There Need to Be a Damsel?

    I agree that the tradition of utilizing such a concept has become unnecessary in recent years. In the first few installments, the device was logical, even necessary, as the classic games told the classic hero-saves-princess tale. However, when Link's Awakening practically redefined Zelda's...

    Twilight Princess Why Was Link Captured As a Wolf? Why Was Ordon Even Raided?

    The bublins were likely sent ahead as scouts, to survey the area and make sure that there would be no resistance in taking the light of the region. After it was clear, King Bulblin summoned the shadow beasts (Or at least the portal) with his horn. As for taking the children and attacking the...

    Twilight Princess Ganondorf Dying and Zant, What Does It Mean?

    It's symbolic of, in my opinion, the nature of power: the weak, whom power corrupts, will crumble from beneath it, and the strong, who corrupt power, will fall from above it.

    General Zelda Is Zelda Using Too Many Alternate Worlds?

    Well, alternate worlds can exist without acting as an immediate focus. You speak as though Hyrule is the center of the Zelda Series; while, in a sense, you're correct, Hyrule can seem just as foreign as any "alternate world" (take, for example, Skyward Sword, where your sense of familiarity is...

    Spoiler Is ALBW a Good Example of the Series Evolving?

    Simply, no. Well, in many aspects, yes; the rental-system, the wall-merging, among other things: all were executed brilliantly, and, in regard to those elements, the series has seen evolution through ALBW (Though, whether these inclusions truly evolved the series is questionable. After all, I...

    Twilight Princess Was It Really Too Much Like OoT?

    I think that, naturally, Twilight Princess was very similar to Ocarina of Time, just as Super Metroid was very similar to the original Metroid. In other words, you can't possibly expect a central idea, especially one which acts as a core to a series, to be elaborated upon without such an...

    General Zelda Things the Fanbase Does That You Dislike.

    -Still, you avoid my point. Even if you can't be convinced that Twilight Princess has well written arcs, you can't deny that the characters had the potential for excellent ones. If you sat down with a list of every single Zelda character and picked out the ones you could write a good arc for...

    General Zelda Things the Fanbase Does That You Dislike.

    -Alright. Seeing as there apparently weren't any arcs in Twilight Princess, I suppose I'll just discount those of Colin (who learned the meaning of strength), the children of Ordon (who learned to cooperate in times of struggle), Ralis (who learned to both accept his responsibility and live past...

    General Zelda Things the Fanbase Does That You Dislike.

    -One dimensional-- as in "lacking characteristics which make them feel believable or limit the presence of any potential arch." Name one character of importance that isn't struggling and doing all that they can while exhibiting emotions, whether they be exterior or interior. Furthermore...

    General Zelda Things the Fanbase Does That You Dislike.

    And, certainly, many aspects of Twilight Princess are lacking-- boss difficulty, to name one-- but I'm, as I stated, referring to when people claim things to be lacking when they, in reality, just don't understand what they're talking about. For example: "All of the characters are...

    General Zelda Exploration: Collection Vs. Discovery

    Sorry; I meant to say "it does not suggest that you'd be content with either, therefore having no preference." And by "shady," I mean odd, or indirect.

    General Zelda Exploration: Collection Vs. Discovery

    Responding "both" stresses that your desire for the two aspects separately is particularly high; it does suggest that you'd be content with either, therefore having no preference.

    General Zelda Exploration: Collection Vs. Discovery

    Well, that's a bit of a shady way of going about it, but alright.

    General Zelda Things the Fanbase Does That You Dislike.

    Oh, ho, ho, where to start... 1. I despise when supposed "fans" of the series can't seem to have anything to say but endless criticism of the modern titles. 2. I equally despise it when fans criticise an aspect of a game as "lacking" in someway, when, in reality, they really just don't...

    General Zelda Exploration: Collection Vs. Discovery

    Well, while I agree completely, this is a matter of preference; I'm asking which you'd prefer, not what you'd like to be done directly.

    General Zelda Exploration: Collection Vs. Discovery

    I've recently, through analysis, come to a conclusion concerning exploration: Collection, the gain of fascinating or rich materials as reward for exploring, vs discovery, the concept of literally exploring and finding fascinating or rich places. I'd argue that Zelda 1 combined the two very well...

    Breath of the Wild ZI's 5 Things ZeldaU Should Take from Ocarina of Time

    1. No thank you--- it's been done three times, and three is enough. 2. Definitely. 3. Certainly, though fairy fountains aren't a necessity; in fact, I'd like to see it branch off from that. 4. Yes, though I think tWW, TP and SS apply more to this than OoT. 5. Once again yes, though I...

    What's Your Favorite Zelda Game?

    I can,t choose between SS and TP... TP: Story is brilliant, storytelling is okay, lots of depth to the combat, combat was excecuted poorly (enemies were too easy), lots of depth to the characters SS: Story is overdone, storytelling is very good, lots of depth to the combat, combat is excecuted...

    Enemy Satisfaction in Zelda

    I think there's a problem with the enemies and there purpose in Zelda. Say you're running through a dungeon. UH OH!! A BOKOBLIN!! *Presses B* Boom, it's dead. Now take Skyrim, for example. When you kill a horde of elves, it's just sooo satisfying, and not because of the blood and gore. It's...

    General Zelda Favorite Zelda Character

    My favorite character? Grog, from OoT. There's just so much mystery behind him...And he's extremely well written. Now don't even mention his death... :'( Now my favorite boss...hmm...that's harder....probably The Helmaroc King. Not because of the strategy,but because of what the moment means to...

    Least Favorite Zelda Game

    I'll probably get a lot of hate for this, but whatever. My least favorite is LA. Now don't get me wrong, the game is great! I don't find it dissapionting at ALL. And when I pick it up to play it, I don't think 'oh, this game is my least favorite,' I think 'Ah, I love this game!'. But I do have...

    Deepest Zelda Game

    I love how deep all of the Zelda games are, and wanted to see which one most people found the deepest. I'm guessing MM will pop up a lot. I would have to say TP, though. It was a story of hope, and this theme was excecuted so well.

    Do You Want the Realistic Zelda Tech Demo?

    I want the Artstyle from the demo for several reasons: The style is still fresh It'll get graphic *****s to stop bashing Zelda It still maintains an artistic look It looks great It can bring the series new places
