I can’t name a single Atari property. Maybe they should focus on making something relevant.

I never think of using my switch for anything other than games.

Man it’s hard to choose just two! I do agree with the Lullaby as top spot though. Makes me think of that final scene with Zelda up in the clouds.

I do think the best two warp songs are your bottom two though. And the forest one is also really handy because you can use it to get to a fairy fountain and tunnels leading to Kokiri Forest, Zora’s Domain, and Goron Village; making it a very multifaceted warp.

I agree that it is a fun, well-designed dungeon, but it was a struggle for me to find where to go at times.
I'm surprised you didn't mention that one key in the bottom of the central pillar room place. That one did me in before and they clearly made it easier in the 3DS version

Can't believe no one said the Lon Lon Ranch! That place was so idyllic to me.
Also Kokiri Forest, and the area on the peak of Death Mountain. Also there are some odd little cutaways in Hyrule Field and areas of random walls to sit on.

Edit: Oh! And the pot room in next to the Castle Town Drawbridge!

I remember this for the wrong reason.
It was my first Zelda game to be released since I moved to Japan! And… for some reason that was the one and only time that a Zelda game was released a month earlier in the west than in Japan.. I had to wait until 12/26! 😩

The shovel one.. necrodancer?
Don’t care about among us though

@BongoBongo for your birthday I’ll make you a BongoBongo quiz.
“How many bosses must you defeat until bongo bongo?” “Who was bongo bongo before becoming a dungeon boss?” “Who gives Link his seventh full heart container?”

@Spider-Kev I’m thinking it’s the ax-wielding ones from AoL. Also you’re forgetting LA comes before OoT as well (but there aren’t any lizalfos in it).

@Grackler exactly the same here!

Aw man I forgot about the Scarecrow’s Song and didn’t realize Lizalfos already had appeared. I guess in AoL, though normally the enemy names are wacky in that one.

I think delay often indicates a lack of clear vision for the project.
On the other hand, Majora's Mask is a famous example of a "rushed" game with a tight deadline that is well-regarded.

I’ve always been curious about this game but I’m afraid it’ll be too “of its time” to play now that the genre has evolved so much.

Steve Buscemi as Link, Asian actors for everyone else.

I’ll be happy to be proven wrong about it.. it’s hard to imagine it turning out well…

I'm loving the current Zelda format! But I still want the classic style too. What happened to the "overhead view" games?

I've completed 105 shrines, 78 roots, 8 tears, 3 sages, 455 koroks. Still a whole lot of sidequests to work on, and my house needs some renovation too.

Not in to this version of the character, not in to micro games

I do tend to enjoy Sonic side scrolling better than Mario, but the Mario brand is at all-time heights and growing higher, while Sonic is more trying to get a foothold.
As far as movies he had a good head start.

@Kyloctopus I just wish they’d distinguish them a bit more. I can’t keep track of which is which except for Ludwig and Wendy

I’m voting for Mipha & Sidon, but props to the Wright Bros reference I totally missed in WW!

Mario is not my thing, but if there’s a good sale and I get through my backlog then sure.

It Takes Two with my wife, TotK by myself

For me, X was a return to the series after skipping the DS era. I was disappointed at how easy it was, uninterested in the story, and realized that I had outgrown the series.
Never went back, though I may give Arceus a crack some time..?
When gen 9 was revealed I felt tempted but remembering my experience keeps me from setting myself up again.

I enjoyed Brigandine: Legend of Runersia and Tactics Ogre: Reborn , personally, but I haven’t played most of the games featured here.

I’m happy for Mario and all, but I am not convinced it’s for me

Very curious if the multiplayer in sonic will actually be good! Other than that… we’ll see about a sale for Mario.

My top requests are sequels for the Zelda Oracle games, which I’m sure is never going to happen. I’d also love one for LA.
Short of sequels I always thought drastically reimagined remakes (like FFVII is getting ) would be good, but now that they’ve remade LA in the almost lamest way possible (my opinion, of course) I’m not so excited about what they might do to the Oracle games…

Sticking with Zelda, I want more games which connect previous titles together! Nintendo is always so afraid of locking themselves in to a timeline but I think it’s be awesome to feature a game that shows how the Hyrule of ST is the same as original LoZ or etc.

Outside of Zelda: the revival of the Golden Sun series! Dark Dawn didn’t fit the story the first games were telling, so I’d like it retconned or at least paved over in a sequel.

Other than that… making Pikmin 5 more like Pikmin 3? I didn’t really love Pikmin 4 as much.

Getting out if Nintendo’s hands but… Banjo Kazooie? New Tactics Ogre..?

And I’d always love to see more new IP from Nintendo.

2 Temples, 81 shrines, 6 tears, 316 koroks… i’ve got a ways to go.
Did play a little Ultimate Chicken Horse though!

Great message.
Both of the last Zelda games are not meant to be played under outside influence. Try to create your own experience, or better yet, play with someone on the couch next to you to plan and discover together.

I thought Daisy would run away with this one! Guess not

A day may come when Hyrule has been exhausted, but it is not this day.
A day may come when I take out that cartridge and take on a growing backlog, but it is not this day!
This day, I sidequest!

@LadyCharlie Personally, I don't like the "edgy" post-emo thing going around like with Aubrey Plaza, which I think Fox was kind of at the earlier forefront (though I guess there's always been a niche for that in media). There was also some interview she gave where she was like "F* everybody at my lame catholic school, they weren't nice to me" or something. Like come on, you're a wealthy actress now and they're probably all just normal people. Is there any point in gloating at them? Immature bitterness, not something I respect.

All that said, I don't take issue with her being here since it's kind of on-brand for her and I don't even care about MK.

@Manguy888A
Well I’m interested in your thoughts on those games coming from the post BotW era

@Manguy888A sorry about ST. I really love that one because of Zelda’s character and role in the adventure. Kind of understand where you’re coming from but it’s miles ahead of PH imo

Incidentally, which haven’t you completed yet?

Still TotK, still Pikmin 4.
Besides that I’ll play Ultimate Chicken Horse with my siblings-in-law if they come round

Looks like I’m a minority here but Mario hasn’t excited me for a long time. I’m glad they’re doing something different with this one but I doubt it will end up in my library.

2D Sonic is my jam and I think they’ve learned some lessons from Mania which was almost what I wanted but too derivative. I have optimistic expectations for Superstars.

I’ve felt like the indie retro thing was kind of over saturated so wasn’t really interested in this, but there is a demo, so if it’s really that good….

Definitely do not care about awards shows

Tears and Pik

While I certainly don’t feel entitled to anything (the game is more than enough as is), I also don’t find these giveaways worth the effort of opening the game some way other than I always do.

I’ve been waiting for this update ever since they declared TotK’s 10million sales! Kind of surprised it hasn’t reached 20 actually

Overall I think Ages is the better start, but Ages second provide a bit more challenge for the linked finale as you will have weaker items to use.

I love both oracles and agree with this review. I do want to say, however, that the visuals are significantly improved from LADX. Smaller details, more vibrant colors, and much more original mechanics and content.
OoA is top 5 in my book

@Mrkittyhead They are based on that LA engine and in my opinion they are superior to it in every way other than plot.

Correct answer is Golden Sun!

FZero is not exciting

I played the original way back when and it was pretty fun! Not mercilessly difficult like the rest of the Dpt. Heaven series.
Yggdra Union was fun but too difficult for me.

Still fully in tears. 125 korok seeds and I still haven’t found Hestu 😭

Rock guys are amazing for killing enemies

Pumped about this game, but character customization is not something I need or care about in the least.
