You know the score 💯 goes hard af 🕺

Yeah that one as well haha love it

@AerisVahnEphelia I love those! Tripped to them countless times.

Felt alive to me as a kid and still does to people discovering it for the first time. Literally spoke to a guy other week who's just getting into Zelda and he said he was taken aback by how much whimsy and character the game had. You gotta use your: P.S. the sequel; Majora's Mask, has some of the most charismatic, vibrant and idiosyncratic set of characters within a virtual gaming space to this date. The reason that game is so revered is because Clock Town felt alive despite the limitations of the N64. Yes, the technology was barebones, that's where your IMAGINATION comes in.

I fully agree, that's why I did not click with Tears of the Kingdom. But I am sure there is a beautiful game in there for everyone once it clicks sometime. I will revisit it one day in the future. I am totally on-board with the critique though from a level of game-feel. ToTK was the greatest departure from the whimsy of classic Zelda, so it makes sense long time fans were upset... BUT this move was necessary to create the game that ToTK is. You don't have to like the direction, but it was essential for ToTK to operate like it does. Again, it's a matter of taste.

@AION They're not supposed to feel like a real world 🤣 that's the point of high-fantasy mate, to envision a world that is unimaginable different from our own + something being childish is not a bad thing, in fact, "childish" art produces universes like Zelda's. Zelda shouldn't be gritty and "realistic" cause then it wouldn't be Zelda would it LOL

Playing it is a different story. The art style makes perfect sense when you're immersed into the game. Just a matter of taste from first glance I guess.

You can skip the cutscenes, doesn't take long before you can do anything you want.

Never played it but always been enamoured by the look and feel of that game. Definitely gonna check it out one day, looks right up my alley. The aesthetic goes hard af 🧚‍♂️

@Leo Gura I need to play it again, I wasn't smart enough to figure out how to play it when it came out (I probably still can't 😅) but I will give it another shot cause I loved the ideas going on in that game.

@OBEler The atmosphere won't be made fully apparent until actually experiencing the game. Personally, I felt a lot of atmosphere watching the revealed gameplay. Ocarina of Time was always meant to evoke the feeling of a story-book type adventure. I'd say the aesthetic they landed on is a good balance between maintaining the original feel and channelling what they had in mind beyond the constraints of the technology at the time. On another note, people can complain that this game is dated and that is fair enough. But, that is missing the essence, charisma and FEEL of what makes this series so iconic. The 3D Zelda's were not supposed to be mechanical masterpieces, they were about creating a whimsical, fairytale style world, which they did in spades, hence the love for Zelda worldwide. This remake will be great for millions of people because it will remind them of what they loved about that game at the time: the FEELING of it. It's not just a cash cow for Nintendo, it is a celebration of one of most defining works in video game history and a moment for art lovers and artists worldwide to immerse themselves in the majesty of what has been "lost" in modern gaming. This will inspire so many artists once it drops, I think that's great! People really need to take some cues from autists. When we see stuff like this, we don't go all "URGH UNREAL ENGINE LOOKING SLOP BLERGHH" we see a nuanced, conscious re-imagining of an all-time classic. It's kewl to be happy about stuff y'know? 👁 (I bet this made people cringe hahah)

Can't wait to revisit such a magical world! Zelda lost something going open world, the mechanical depth is incredible in the new one's, but the whimsical atmosphere was sorely missed. So excited to dive into this animistic universe again ✨️

@Yimpa My pleasure 👾

9000% x E=mc⬛️'d

Thought people might enjoy this! https://youtu.be/N0v5qbVdULQ?is=ZPvGquRpgaWsFgcw

The prequels are quality entertainment and don't feel like slop, I can watch them anytime and enjoy em even if they are pretty messy. Best enjoyed with friends who like to have a laugh at the hammy acting and the campy script. It's pure popcorn material. There is beauty in that.

Bloody hell what am I reading haha

After awakening one of the main struggles I've had, is trying to navigate normal human life and affairs whilst "playing" the act of being human. I had this brief insight just now about how a lot of my personal problems are not relatable or explainable by conventional society and this explains some of my failures regarding personal development. I was diagnosed with ADHD and I have most definitely got autism, but I let these dictate my psychology for a very long time after awakening and have only just started "going beyond" them in a sense to become the ultimate authority over my own psychology which is both challenging and endlessly fascinating. Hope someone can relate or found this interesting ✌️

They look siiiick!

I spent 16 years of my life unable to talk to anyone, let alone women. Once I actually plucked up the courage to work on my social skills, after probably 12 years of doing this consistently I can chat shit to literally anyone and enjoy it, even though I am an introvert at heart. The real issue with not understanding how this works, is lack of experience. You have to be committed to putting in hundreds of hours into the social domain and dating in order to wrap your head around it all and develop mastery, much like anything in life really. I didn't even have a girlfriend till I was like 17/18, if you're still struggling with women in your 20's I wouldn't worry about it, just keep putting consistent effort in and one day it will all just click and become virtually effortless. The number one thing you have to change in your socialising with women, is eroding the friendly, nice-guy persona. This should be common knowledge but apparantley it is not. I have never 'pulled' a woman by being the overly cheerful and supportive nice-guy, you need a bit of edge to you, but not fake edge or cruelty, but just embodying what it means to be a cool guy with depth. Easier said than done, but countless hours of socialising will get you there, it's just a matter of whether you can actually be arsed putting in alll that effort, but trust me, one day it works and it doesn't just help with dating it helps in a fuck ton of different areas in life.

It's all fun, games & experimentation until the karma burn-through ends with you addicted to *INSERT CHEMICAL OF CHOICE HERE*

Yeah this is so true I tell my mates this all the time but they are so locked into the manosphere shit that they can't be helped.

This will be some nice fuel for the online discourse surrounding the age old "separating the art from the artist" discussion 😈
