i didn't play lttp as a kid and it's bad because you can't slash your sword in a diagonal direction. too bad if an enemy is 1 pixel out of your swords range, you're gonna get hosed up.

links awakening, the oracle games, windwaker and the n64 ones are the best


The sword covers a 90 degree arc in front of you. This is a weird complaint.

Like, what do you want, your sword to hit outside of your sword's range?

OH WAIT IT DOES THAT TOO, just don't get hit scrub

People only think LttP is hard because they've had zelda games drag them by the hand from plot point to plot point for the last 17 years. Play LttP if you can wrap your head around concepts like "exploring places without some rear end in a top hat telling you to go there".

I think "guess what the developers want you to do next" is poor game design and do not enjoy backtracking in circles with no guidance, it's not a fun kind of difficulty to me and I say that as a person who enjoyed notoriously hard old games like the original megamans. LttP is imo a poor recommendation for a first time zelda player in 2015.

I would suggest taking a good look in the mirror and evaluate your life, a grown man playing video games for children. Rethink how you're living.

Others have mentioned this but there's literally a place where you can go that will tell you what to do next if you're having such trouble with it.

I'll start recommending another zelda game when they make another good game.

I honestly don't remember if I ever played one or not. I only vaguely remember playing one or two of the Final Fantasy games.

Also, everyone else is wrong. Super Dodge Ball was the best SNES game ever, particularly when you played it along with drinking and drugs.

I too get outsmarted by games designed by six year olds. Do you have a big brother you can call to do the hard parts for you?

Parallax Scroll posted:

i did get stuck once in lttp. there's this bomb shop and all they sell is bombs, i was like this place is useless i can get bombs lots of places. then later they also start selling a super bomb that you need and it didn't occur to me to go back there and check whether they had started selling other stuff they didn't sell before

Yeah this is like the one legit weak point in LttP.

The best Legend of Zelda game in the series is Zelda 2 The Adventure of Link

Every Zelda game since Link to the Past has been a baby game for girls.

i like legend of zelda a lot i have played through all of them except the philips cd i one and the 3ds and wii u remakes of older games you should play the 3ds ocarina of time and the majoras mask remake i would say to jump right to majoras mask but it is an actual direct sequel to ocarina of time so you should play it first okay have a good day

Link to the Past is dope because you do great and you're fighting the forces of evil, taking care of the knights in the castle, getting better swords, doing standard Link poo poo, and then suddenly you get to the Magic Mirror part and you travel inside your own mind or some smoke salvia or something insane and everything goes to complete hell and you have to fight increasingly godawful things.

Zelda games are extremely easy (not including the first few) and therefore not fun. Play something that awesome people play like Dark Souls, Bloodborne or Candy Crush.

It's the only one you remember because you haven't played it in a while it had several moments like that. Literally everyone I know who played the game used a guide or help from a friends who used a guide. A guide literally came with the game. It had the classic kind of arbitrary backtracking in oldschool games that's dumb. Personally I consider that poor design and do not think "knowing where you're supposed to go and having to deal with the challenges there" is handholding but to each their own I guess.

This, and also the pseudo-remake of LttP on 3DS is awesome and the furthest they've strayed from series norms, because 1. You can just buy all of the dungeon items early on, and 2. You can do the dungeons in any order. It owns especially if you like to whine about the Zelda formula.
