    What is your unpopular Zelda opinion?

    Skyward Sword is better than Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom combined. (I think that would be unpopular, my understanding is the internet does not like Skyward Sword, but critics did so what do I know)

    Gaming Remakes

    I feel like out action games (or basically all non-RPGs) peaked like 25 years ago and RPGs peaked like 15 years ago. The onslaught of remakes as put above compared to just the quality of new games is pretty irrelevant in that grander scheme as far as I'm concerned. Modern game developers just...

    Rate the Last Game That You Played

    Welp now it's Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi for Genesis. 9.2/10. Overall the simpler levels and enemy placement work than revenge of shinobi in exchange for 1 hit deaths are a fair trade, it's much more manageable than revenge and just more fun. I also think the graphics and style were...

    Rate the Last Game That You Played

    I guess Revenge of Shinobi for Sega Genesis. I feel like it's an 8.8/10, it's not quite as amazing as the best genesis platformers like Rocket Knight Adventures and Alisia Dragoon, or maybe even Sonic 2, but Shinobi has never really not been kinda cool so there it is.

    What Are You Doing In Zelda?

    I was playing Hyrule Warriors, doesn't really count as Zelda but it's an ok game anyway. I tried Tears of the Kingdom again, I decided it's an action game still and not an RPG because the most fundamentally broken RPG like thing you can do is just get infinite HP restoratives through cooking...

    Is Using Save States Cheating?

    Cheating is a harsh word. I personally don't consider a game beaten if I use save states, but that's my preference and a lot of people seem to use save states and there's all kinds of ways to play. I use save states to save time learning levels and bosses on the snes mini and sega genesis...

    Rate the Last Movie That You Watched

    Napoleon. Not really as good as The Last Duel but not really bad either, just like a 7.8/10. One movie before that was Twin Peaks Fire Walk with Me. Now that was a 10/10 but it's only if you think David Lynch movies are great in general instead of a hack as many probably think he is today.

    What Game(s) Are You Playing at the Moment?

    Well I finished Spirit Tracks. Um, wow, so many problems, that if someone gave it a 7 of 10 I wouldn't argue with them, but for me, objectively, every problem was slight in compared to the grand overarching whole, which worked, and it still retained the magic of Zelda ultimately, so it's a...

    Favorite game other than Zelda?

    I really like the Shadow Hearts series I guess (on PS2). Maybe some other early SNES or Genesis era RPGs, possibly some Dreamcast RPGs, maybe like one PS2 action game. Essentially only some RPGs, when it comes to action games Zelda is tough to beat.

    What Game(s) Are You Playing at the Moment?

    I got to the 2nd half part of FE and that was enough RPG for the moment, so I went back and beat Umbrella Chronicles for Wii. I can't say it matches my happy memories of Virtua Cop 2 as far as Light gun games go, but it still did pretty good and way above what the critics gave it like an 8.6 out...

    What do you hope to see in the next Zelda? (The princess, not the game)

    I would start with making her semi playable with incredible powers like General Leo in FF6 or Beatrix in FF9. That is to say, a short sequence where she has some kind of turbo powered role and does a lot of stuff, but just for a short time and keep the focus on Link so she can maintain her...

    What Game(s) Are You Playing at the Moment?

    What's Your Favourite Item in Your Gaming Collection?

    Well, prized in terms of monetary value that I just still own but got in a store a long time ago is Mega Man X3 for SNES. In terms of personal attachment just Skyward Sword with the music CD. Which is um, not exactly rare or anything.

    Kirby and the Rainbow Curse for Wii U. Well, I technically put this down awhile back and then finished it, but I remember some of it anyway to give it a fair score which I think is like an 8.9/.10, maybe even a 9/10. By the time I was done it almost felt like Kirby's adventure on NES, one of...

    Games that you respect but don’t like playing.

    I guess it's Tears of the Kingdom. It's like this great work of art thing, but then again, I never was much for art (Renaissance artists etc). I like action and all the downtime and passive elements of TotK mean I don't like actually playing it. Other games like that for me now are Chrono...

    Aonuma: OoT was restricting, the BotW format will continue

    I was neutral about Aonuma until I learned he basically didn't play games at all until someone showed him Dragon Quest and it was a game he could actually make progress in and thought was ok. This is in contrast to Yoshiaki Koizumi, who I think at least tried Mario and was like oh yeah this is...

    Which Zelda games show the best roles for Princess Zelda?

    I think ww and st Zelda have the most agency and kind of anime spunk that make her feel more like an equal to link. However, TP Zelda (and even Zelda 1 Zelda from the manual) were like sovereigns that made all powerful decisions and actions in their capacity as ruler. They had no adventuring...

    Hated Zelda game

    Well, I agree with both of these, even though they are contradictory. 4 days ago I was thinking about how BotW and TotK were Zelda in name only, trendy blandified limp actiony games with poorly integrated massive scapes that just confuse and rearrange the core game into many parts. Then I...

    I think just that the AA game market improves. I've been playing Valkyrie Elysium and it's really nice, I think back to when I played like Brave Fencer Musashi and Threads of Fate on the PS1. Or maybe Infinite Space on the DS. None of them echoed through the ages but they were plenty of fun and...

    Aonuma: OoT was restricting, the BotW format will continue

    Well I just remember in Breath of the Wild trying to do whatever shrine I came across and like a couple times it would be a "super hard" combat shrine, which just isn't practical to complete without some better weapons/armor/health. That meant, being driven towards the basically "easier" shrines...

    Aonuma: OoT was restricting, the BotW format will continue

    Well I haven't read all the opinions but I find BotW and TotK to be semi-linear, it's just disorganized. You can't beat X enemy until you have Y strength which requires Z orbs to get whatever container which is best gotten after you do one larger dungeon and so on and so forth. The really...

    What is your unpopular Zelda opinion?

    I don't know enough to know if it's popular or not, and I haven't read all of Hyrule Historia or played every game still, but I based on what I have played I think Nintendo cobbled together a shared universe/lore whatever you want to call it across it's games that I think is actually sort of...

    What do you want Zelda Switch to do better than BotW?

    I want Zelda to go back to its Oirigins... origins... I believe Skyward Sword as the most experimental zelda brought a whole bunch of different fans to the genre, but I'd rather see an Ocarina of Time style Zelda eventually... I kind of see video games as ideally moving backwards through their...

    No more remasters, a lot less nostalgia in general. I can tolerate "the original just wasn't what we wanted in the first place and was badly broken" but pretty cash grabs are bad. There are really, really good reasons why games like Mega Man franchise games and stuff aren't at the center of...

    Coolest (and lamest) Name for a Video Game Console

    I think I mostly agree, except I like the NeoGeo name.. and I also think Game Gear was cool... 3DO was a pretty bad name IMO. I also think Game Boy was kinda on the bad side... not cause of a gender thing... just because it's sorta plain and a bit lame.
