Personally, I’ve found the further away from linear they go the more convoluted and patchwork the story gets (not just a problem to the Zelda series either).
I truly do miss that linear approach with a strong narrative, Elden ring as an example was a disaster from a story telling perspective unless you follow along with online articles. TOTK was not quite that bad but still felt more like doing things with one vague objective to go through all game.
Really need a break from this “choose your own adventure” style of video game creation on the Zelda series. Having a little deviation is cool but this whole use anything anyway you want to solve it how you want in your own way is just tiring for me.
This game appears to be a compromise of both but I wish it was just traditional imo. Will still play it but I’m fairly disappointed from what I’ve seen so far.
I’m sorry editors but arguably better than SOR4? What?!
Look, I love me some turtles since I was a young lad but Shredders Revenge while a great game doesn’t hold a candle to the art style, variety, gameplay, level designs and music of Streets of Rage 4.
Shredders revenge was also released with a story mode and not much else, slightly better now but SOR4 has more in that regard to. SOR4 has a vivid comic book hand drawn design, the visuals pop and the music is amazing and the game overall is a clear cut above Shredders Revenge.
@moodycat Chrono Trigger really is that good, from the year it was made to the art style, the story and the music. Add the humour and gameplay with the colourfully characters, it’s something incredibly special and has pretty much universal acclaim.
If you personally don’t like it that’s totally fine, however it really is that good.
@Snatcher I must have misread the article, I didn't read the one single point that says "just press B". In fact it looks like there is gasp more to it.

Re: Random: Someone's Tried To Fix Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom's Awful UI
She doesn’t get a bow, the temporary link ability gets a bow to use for a brief period of time.
If she had a bow to use natively I would have enjoyed it much much more.
Re: Random: Someone's Tried To Fix Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom's Awful UI
Can they fix the combat instead? Or lack thereof to be exact.
Standing around waiting is mind numbing level boring. Even just a bow for Zelda or Din’s fire would have been a great improvement.

Or they might have to “readjust” their numbers again.

Ahh yes the ol convenient “it’s just a glitch” story, works like a charm.

At least digimon changed the concept and didn’t use a ball

@bleeflooflah
I imagine as a charging port in handheld, charging the current models while holding it in your lap often bends the cord/port.

@Classic603 That was my impression with the original BTOW as well.

@Don Super Mario RPG is fantastic, would love a rerelease of it.
