A Link Between Worlds The stamina meter is Marring the Bow. Problem?

Aaaaaaaaaaand? How would that automatically make rupees even more common?

Not necessarily more common, it means less things to spend rupees on, they were already few things to buy in alttp to begin with.

Which I'm sure Nintendo will accommodate for. They got it right with the latest game. Why would they all of a sudden go back to getting it wrong?

Nintendo in general sometimes gets things wrong in a sequel after getting it right in the previous game, I mean look at Fi, Midna interrupted the game less than Navi, but than they made Fi a never ending chatter box.

The difference here is that didn't really get anything right with Midna other than being a good character. As a helper, she was pretty useless. Fi was pretty much the polar opposite, not being that great of a character, but giving an overdose of information... which actually wouldn't have been a problem had there been voice acting, since she wouldn't have had to break up the gameplay.

When it comes TO gameplay, however, I've never seen Nintendo fix a problem only to muck it up later on. They certainly stumbled with numerous franchises going from the N64 to the GameCube, but that was rectified with the Wii, and the 3DS looks to be picking up an even faster pace than the DS with its already stellar library, and given how flippin' awesome the games revealed for the Wii U look, I think it's safe to say its doing the same thing in comparison to the Wii.

I'm really not worried about rupee use in A Link Between Worlds. I can see there being less of an emphasis on purchases, but I doubt things will go back to the days prior to Skyward Sword. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, but I'm pretty confident in my judgement.

I'm not going to listen to nintendo's words from now on. From now, I'm only going to listen to their actions cause that speaks louder than their words. I've already decided that I'm not going to get ALBW and Zelda U cause they just don't sound like they're going to be of the Zelda canon that we know of. Seriously I have this bad feeling that later on, Nintendo will end up confirming that ALBW is a reboot a ALttP and the first installment to a Zelda reboot. Nintendo is trolling us with this "ALttP sequel" thing when the game doesn't even make sense as a sequel by far, it's too illogical. I never wanted things to end up this way with Zelda but, let's face it, Zelda is absolutely at the verge of death here and almost too late to do anything about it.

I think it's quite cool, and change should always be accepted. For all we know there might be a perfectly valid reason for the meter, it could be a magic bow that needs no quiver...maybe? But apart from the meter that video has made me want it even more, the fire rod in ALttp is just...boom...in this it's KABBOOOSHSHSHHAAAAAAAAAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAAMAAMAMAMADEEWOOOPP. Looks fun.

I'll give you that, SS made the rupees actually useful, but you know what? Even if the stamina meter wasn't used for the bow and bombs, I don't remember buying bombs and arrows that often, because dungeons already are very generous with the quantities we need, so you could say they being more "upfront" the fact that we almost never run out of important items. only this time, they leave nothing for the shopkeepers to sell, besides maybe upgrades and new items, we'll just wait and see.

Isn't almost every Zelda games is kind of reboot of the series? SO wither it's a reboot or not, it doesn't even matter in the first place since the games don't refer to each other too much, except with a few exemptions like WW, PH etc....

If anything, you're helping me prove my point.

I feel really bad for people who can't enjoy games like I do. Me an the other people on this website will buy ALBW and enjoy it, but people like you are unable to. It really sucks :/

thank you why don't you just look on the good parts and the bad parts new power new story return of link to the past world return of dark worlds bad stamina replacing item currency only 1 bad thing.

I just wanted to look at a possible bad side to this stamina thingie, since no one else mentioned it, I though I had to bring it up.

thank you why don't you just look on the good parts and the bad parts new power new story return of link to the past world return of dark worlds bad stamina replacing item currency only 1 bad thing.

I don't understand what did you say.

 

[Ventus]

It's a new power that looks lame. We don't know anything about the story, but we can trust there will be tons of plotholes. Returning to the dark world is awesome. Stamina replacing ammunition is just ridic and nonsensical, even for Zelda. So not all positives in your eyes will be positives in other's! Let people have their opiniona nd just duke it out until ZeldaBLT releases, at which time you can begin playing the game rather than arguing.

we should at least wait till the game comes out so you can see videos and see if u wanna buy ut

I agree and disagree. On one hand, I can make whatever pre-conceived judgments I please. On the other, it'd be better to see the extent - or experience it myself - before I judge it all the way through. :yes:
