Waltzing Along posted:The only bad thing about ALBW is that LTTP lovers say it is a copy and not as good. The truth is LTTP hasn't aged well and is like an outline for the far superior ALBW. I am a huge LTTP fanboy and I wouldn't say that BLW was a copy or not as good, its an incredibly well done distinct homage. LTTP aged incredibly well.

Indigo Cephalopods posted:My personal problem with LTTP is that I wasn't alive when it was new, and didn't have a snes so I never played it until I got the GBA port. By that time, many other games had come out that copied parts of LTTP's formula, so it didn't really come off as anything special to 12-year-old me. The day I got LTTP was the first time in my life I pulled an all nighter. I still will play it start to finish any time I'm sick and can't get out of bed. The art, the gameplay, the music-- pretty much everything about it aged well. Yeah, a lot of stuff used it as inspiration and if you go back and play it after-the-fact it won't stand up to its descendants, but what will by that metric? Any time I sit down to really try to narrow my best game of all time list, this is firmly planted.

If you're just after the game itself I can't imagine there being a problem with just pre ordering it whenever/day before, or walking into a store and getting it. I can't think of a time there was an actual shortage of a game in the Amazon era. Master's Edition doesn't appear to have been in stock anywhere all day today.

Cojawfee posted:I think if you're after the master edition at this point, you are going to spend 500 on ebay or 129 on ebay next year. I've got a Master from BB and a Special from Amazon in case the former falls through. Was hoping to get the Master from Amazon to get the prime discount, but i'll take it at non-scalped prices. Can always cancel the Special or sell it at price to a friend/goon if it does genuinely sell out. e; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N224U9S/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=21PBD857A1VGL&coliid=I2LZBXO1HMUMF4 This has been popping in and out of stock for the past hour, if you want it just refresh every few minutes.

Keiya posted:I got that from Best Buy, I happened to refresh their page first. That's the edition I wanted anyway. I mean, I'm going to hae to drop $20 on a carry case anyway, so the cool map, collector coin, and themed case is actually a decent deal. Yeah the map is probably going to get framed and go next to my Zelda 1 manual map. Sword (pending Best Buy not canceling my order) will go right behind my desk so that it is in frame during all video calls with my Skull Kid. May just sell the coin and CD though.

Cojawfee posted:From what I saw, the special edition has the Master Sword on it. The plastic sleeve has a sheath on it so you slide it down and you unsheath the master sword. It also has some prettier binding. I am a complete sucker when it comes to Zelda collectibles and even I'm not splurging for it.

Harrow posted:I really hope they've fixed the colors in the Wii U version since the E3 demo--they look so much nicer in the Switch version and washed out colors ruining a beautiful game is just the kind of thing to make me prematurely buy a Switch. I'm sure he will get into his classic garb at some point in the game, though. Nothing wrong with changing a few outfits on the way. Though I'm still irrationally mad at him being right handed.

What ha wants doesn't exist, the illusion of what he wants exists in some of the games, but he kills that by graphing them too much. I was very surprised at the lttp and LA episodes for this reason. AKA when you were younger and dumber and didn't have years of gaming knowledge to see through puzzles.

Cojawfee posted:I don't get the hate for Skyward Sword. I'm having a lot of fun with it. It's not the best, but it's still pretty good. It also has a lot of good features in it that need to show up in BotW. The only complaints I have are that the motion controls sometimes don't do exactly what I intended, some things should have just used the joystick instead of motion controls, and a couple of the fights get tedious. Though the last one would be true regardless of what control scheme you use. I loved Skyward Sword. It had plenty of flaws, but the art direction, gameplay, and dungeon design were a great nostalgic hit for me. I played it in a few long sittings, so the tutorial popups resetting whenever you loaded only occurred a few times for me, and yes Fi + flying around were really really annoying, but i think the good more than made up for it. If I recall, there was a homebrew patch that removed a lot of the handholding too. Controls are fine as long as you realize winding up = swinging the wrong way, its all wrist flicks.

JustJeff88 posted:I used to actively collect printed strategy guides and then stopped and liquidated a good portion of them, mostly due to the space that they were taking up. I rarely buy any these days, but Zelda is the one exception. I bought the treasure chest and I have a hardcover guide with those gold pages for every Zelda game in the main series that has one, and a softcover guide for all of the others. I lost my Super Mario RPG guide and cannot seem to remember how to get into Belomb's treasure room the second time you see him, and never seem to remember to look it up.

Calaveron posted:That was the coolest poo poo. How many zelda games had those crazy item exchanging quests for best weapons? I remember Link's Awakening had one too LA had the item exchange quest to unlock the path through the windfish's egg, the best sword was just collecting seashells. The best weapon was just equipping your bow and bombs at the same time and mashing them together.
