this was the first zelda game i remember actually releasing, and although i didn't play it until 2015 (because i didn't own a wii) it still holds a special place in my heart. i've never had a problem with the motion controls personally, but i'll give this a proper rating when i next go back to replay it.

i do think origami king is an improvement and i get why people who liked the early games are disappointed BUT this is the game that got me into paper mario and i had a fun time :)

it's a great game with a very atmospheric end boss but i'm SO glad that earthbound got rid of the very stupid mechanic where all but one of your party start at level 1

really enjoyed making my trainer the most fashionable gal in the alola region

funniest guy in this game is the one who joins your army because his girlfriend told him to.

my hashtag problematic hot take is that i like this significantly more than the first game. what can i say, it's got a banging soundtrack and levelling systems make my brain go brrr. equally: restore points are my friend.

undoubtedly a phenomenal, groundbreaking game. but trying to wall jump in order to get one of the stars legitimately drove me to tears

i'm a bit fire emblemed-out at the moment so i STILL haven't played two of the routes but uh. i really liked golden deer. raphael is my favourite :)

This review contains spoilers

personally i did not have a problem with the combat! i DID however have a problem with this pegi 7 rated game killing off my friend bobby :(((

play this trilogy if you want fire emblem three houses world at war choose one of three sides storyline but like. worse. i think nothing sums this up more than the extreme copout of having one guy be Very Obviously Bad no matter who you play as, followed by the reveal in the third game that he's like possessed or something anyway. i don't necessarily regret playing these three games but it's kinda hilarious how much three houses improves on every interesting facet. more morally ambiguous side choices, better more expansive gay options that aren't just Guy Who Gets Off On Murder and Your Stalker, and you don't have to buy THREE WHOLE GAMES just to experience the entire plot!

i am until the day i die a twilight princess long opening tutorial section apologist

i had a pretty fun time but also i'm kinda glad i got this game as a freebie

i had so much trouble following the bad guy in this game when i was a kid so i never completed it. and then this time round i managed that in like 3 gos. rip 9 y/o me.

not to be dramatic or anything but i'm literally going to die if prime 4 doesn't have a motion control option. for some reason finishing this game made my brain become absolutely fixated on metroid and now i own the two gba games as well so take that as a recommendation i guess

super fun! you can tell it was developed early in the 3ds' life-cycle because MAN does it use every single control gimmick the system has. only time i had a problem with that was gyro because i found it really hard to focus on the action while i was tilting this way and that. but otherwise i very much enjoyed it
