everyone deems this game as one of the greatest of all times and I think this time I really have to agree
a link to the past feels grand revolutionary and awe inspiring even after 30 something years from its release and honestly it's something that I can't really say for a lot of games from this time they'd always end up being clunky or obtuse to play them today but for some reason I found none of that in this one so i can only imagine how incredible it would've been to play this game in 1991
after the very first zelda for NES (great but antiquated nowadays) and zelda II (haven't played it yet but I know it's a fucking chore) they went back to the winning formula of the NES era and greatly expanded on it on every level of existence and its not a surprise that this was the blueprint for ocarina of time and many zelda titles to come
story in this one is as simple as it gets zelda seeks help through the power of telepathy and link goes to help her shenanigans happen here and there and she gets kidnapped like a stupid ass so basically the main gameplay loop of the game is 3 + 7 dungeons going back and forth from the dark world until you get to the last dungeon and beat the shit out of ganon the end
its not really the most convoluted story ever in the universe but the atmosphere themes and vibes are absolutely unmatched the scene where you free zelda and run away with her is something so incredible I cannot put it into words its like I was reliving ICO all over again and I was really surprised they got rid of this sequence in a link between worlds like what were you thinking
the main lore is told by some different characters here and there like the legend of ganon and shit like that and thats also pretty jnteresting but the main meat of the game is pretty straightforward go to a dungeon get the dungeon item beat the dungeon rinse and repeat
playing this game is an absolute fucking blast and I was absolutely stunned at how many different weapons and accessories and upgrades and items there are here its kind of weird like theres probably 20+ items because the dungeon items are already a lot and then you get some extra items from exploring and shit like that so yeah
the overworld is absolutely incredible and traversing it is a fucking blast moving link around feels good and there's always rewarding you for exploring its useless to explain the main gameplay because it's fucking zelda I should not explain it but I gotta say that the dungeons range from fun to absolutely fucking ??? like I cannot explain it but ??? I had to open a guide most of the times because theres some stuff that made me go crazy im not joking funnily enough the ice palace didn't really give me a problem as much as the fucking mine did that dungeon is incredibly 1 boring 2 dumb 3 frustrating and i had to do it 3 times because first I didnt know I needed the ice rod so I had to take the ice rod and redo it and then I realised I also needed a magic bottle because my default magic tank wasn't enough what the FUCK were they smoking in the meeting room
and thats probably my main crutch in this games the fact that most of the time you won't know what the fuck you have to do now I do really enjoy exploring its world and defeating enemies or whatever but going around the overworld 99+ times without nothing new happening gets boring really fast and also some stuff is truly impossible if you don't open a guide like how am I supposed to know that to get the ocarina I need to dig a very specific square in a point that NO NPC told me about do I look like a fucking clown to you anyway apart from that? this game is perfect
using this variety of items is the most fun I had with gimmicks items in zelda coming and going to the dark world even tho a chore sometimes really gets the theme across and all the while listening to the bomb music
now art department ? this shit is insane the art style is incredible this chibified yet detailed kind of style for the sprites drives home the entirety of the game with the characters blending perfectly with the environments theyre in plus theres sexy alligators trying to fuck your ass and id honestly let them
music is also unmatched and every single thing is a bop and most of the tracks here will become staples of the series throughout the years but a personal favorite from this score is the dark world theme this shit is absolutely jawdropping yall don't even get me started the first time I listened to it I was sweating profusely for the love of everything holy
so umh for my current marathon in which I played two (2) games I can say that this one is my favorite one of the bunch now if you tell me do you prefere this or twilight princess I will smack you on the face and call you slurs try me
bring pink haired link back I'll become homicidal
