Ganondorf in Tears at least comes somewhat close to it in terms of atmosphere, but without the stakes

I've watched zoomers on youtube play OOT and I dont think any of them ever disliked it. They all seemed to love it and get hyped for the final boss fight with Ganon. OOT remains the best game ever.

>>712933131
show more jealousy, it's really convincing

>>712933131
Close but no. This is was my first erection.

>>712933340
Tears had me like
>! This is epic and the most amazing since...
But then reflecting on it more and more with the rest of the game in memory, I feel like TotK wasn't THAT amazing. Whereas OoT really builds up and culminates, TotK feels like it's a lot of fluff, and then it kind of enters an overblown finale.

But it's also faulty because Ganon has really shitty writing in TotK, like even shittier than Twilight Princess somehow, and I really felt like Zelda should've stayed as a Dragon by the end. The moment I felt like TotK actually had something was the cutscene when Zelda swallows the secret stone and turns into a dragon to transcend the past timeline to live long enough to reach Link in the future to stop Ganon. That was fairly epic and in line with a lot of thematic buildup. But then she's "magically" turned into herself at the end and the music is going really overboard to sell you on the final skydive to connect to the way Zelda fell down in the beginning... but it felt overblown. Like, it felt like Zelda is now a "Generic Hollywood Slop movie" at that point. I think OoT is much better at just being succinct, and tasteful and its epicness is surprising without being overplayed.

I have a boomer uncle who laughs exactly the same way as Ganondorf in OOT.

That looks like fucking dogshit. God Millennials and their canon works are so fucking overrated. Grow up already.

>>712933731
Imagine how good a remake would be of Majora's Mask with rounder graphics.

This is the version Nintendo put on the official Switch N64 app, so I'm treating it as canon. It's the US version even.

>>712932627 (OP)
YO IS THAT CRENANDO

>>712934784
>"In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Ganondorf's blood was originally depicted as red in the initial release (version 1.0). However, due to concerns about the game's rating, Nintendo changed the color of his blood to green in subsequent versions (1.1 and later) and in all re-releases"

>>712934376
For real, I feel like Zelda had a fantastic run from its infancy all the way to around WW or TP. For me TP is where the franchise had already lost its original "sense". But if we have to be specific, I think Skyward Sword is the first game where I get the "ick" from how sugary it feels.
I just can't stand the whole Hidemaro Fujibayashi era of Zelda. He may have been writer on the Oracles and worked on Minish Cap and DS Zelda, but I think his "cutesy" approach worked because they were the little-brother spinoff titles, sort of cute diversions from mainline kino Zelda.

But the thing I can't stand is how un-spiritual Zelda feels since Skyward Sword. It used to be all about the Triforce and how like "The forces of the universe known as the Goddesses created Hyrule and magic artefacts etc." but Skyward Sword, BotW and TotK all insist on trying to "subvert" that by suggesting that all "Spiritual" stuff was really some sort of science-fiction society from the past that developed technology that has no explanation in a medieval future.

It convolutes the mythos of Zelda needlessly, and it removes that theatrical feeling they had before, where there is something omnipresent going on, where it matters "who you are born to become" and Ganondorf basically representing the forces of evil that eternally slumber in the universe. Everything felt epic before, through a sense that every character symbolizes a force of nature. But now it takes itself seriously like it's a super realistic world that needs to have scientific explanations, but the writing is utter shit so there's no real lore to speak of. It's like playing Mass Effect if it didn't have the Codex now.

>>712935396
People always want 1.0 because of the Fire Temple and the blood but I'd gladly trade those so I don't have to deal with 1.0 graves.

I was once given a literary essay on why the Master Cycle Zero was the best thing ever because it felt like the devs didn't know what they had made, and that was a really amazing thing.

That was told to me on Discord, and the person who told me was transgender.

So that's all I took from Ballad of the Goddess.

>>712932627 (OP)
damn I sure had a great childhood in retrospect. Many thanks to my older bros for buying lots of vidya and allowing me to play.

I really struggle to see who BotW is "for", having finally played it recently. I'm hesitant to even call the divine beasts "dungeons" and I didn't find the bosses especially compelling. It kind of feels like it was made for the people who post clips of them walking around or whatever in RDR 2 and call it the best game ever because of the visuals. Maybe I'm just not "with it" anymore.

>the 3ds remake fucks the lighting and brightens everything up

>>712936214
meanwhile my older brother was one of those "NOOOO THOSE ARE *MY* VIDEOGAMES YOU CAN'T PLAY THEM" types, at least until my mother stepped in and told him to stop being an asshole

>>712936490
>I really struggle to see who BotW is "for", having finally played it recently
It's for Nintendo dorks who never played an open world game before.

>>712936490
Do you remember the atmosphere post-Skyward Sword? Everybody complained about the extreme linearity of that game, how you're always railroaded from one place to the next. The more years go by and especially now with TotK existing and being disappointing it's easy to look back on BotW and see the myriad of cracks, but on release it was a literal breath of fresh air that invigorated the sense of adventure each mainline Zelda title slowly but surely stripped away in exchange for handholdiness, tutorials and linearity galore. So the game is "for" people that enjoy the solitude of games like Shadow of the Colossus, or the map exploration of RDR2. It's more akin to something like Death Stranding, where the travel time *is* the game. Gathering resources, completing light puzzles, breaking in horses, finding a new village, feeling like every small step you take puts you closer and closer to Ganon, that figure you know you've technically been able to go fight since the Great Plateau. Nobody likes the Great Beasts, nobody liked the bosses, what people took away was the in-between. The solitude. The atmosphere.

>>712932627 (OP)
>I didn't play BotW when I was 8
OoT sucks then and it sucks now.

>>712937229
Sure seems like it. It's not a particularly inspiring open world.
>>712937261
I just remember people whining about how much Fi(I think that's her name?) would pester you with tips and such.
>where the travel time *is* the game.
That's about what I figured. I guess my problem is that if I wanted to play one of those I wouldn't be turning on a Zelda game, I would be turning on a game that does it better.

>>712936490
I really liked BotW, but in retrospective, it does have several flaws that mostly come from the game cutting out a lot of things that made the previous games so special:

>lack of proper dungeons
>lack of items like the Hookshot or an actual Boomerang like in previous games
>lack of underwater areas
>shitty enemy variety
>boring bosses
>terribly scripted final boss

And TotK did almost nothing to address these, and its dungeons (If you can call the Spirit Temple a dungeon) were way too easy to cheese with builds. At least the bosses were way better, but they also introduced another issue with them requiring the partner from their respective areas to be beatable.

I wouldn't mind another open world Zelda, but they really need to focus on item variety and dungeons next time. And for the love of god get rid of durability, just allow us to upgrade our weapons until reaching "Legendary" status or whatever.

BotW was indeed for Journalists who said "Zelda is just the same every time" because they had a hate-boner for the OoT formula because OoT came out around the time they became snobs that don't appreciate anything new, and it wasn't "like how I thought Zelda was" based on NES/SNES Zelda.

A shame because to me OoT defined Zelda and every subsequent game, on Gameboy, DS, Gamecube and Wii were just more of the same kino, and it was amazing to have that every 5 years between the PS3 generation reducing itself to Third Person Shooters and Sandbox slop.

All this said, I enjoy BotW for its quiet atmosphere. I just also hate BotW for never taking it anywhere. It starts one way, keeps feeling that way, and ends that way, and all BotW-lovers can say is "The last boss was bad but the game was good" instead of recognizing that the reason the last boss is bad is because the game neglected building to anything, so you just kinda have Ganon appearing at the end, 2 boss phases that aren't that great, and a brief cutscene that really doesn't top off the experience with any momentum.

To this day I don't see what people see in BotW. I was always waiting for "something" to happen in it that never comes.

>>712934265

Pipistrello is a very well done 2D Zeldalike. It's basically the same structure and it has GBA graphics.

Darksiders are also OoT-clones but with a Hack & Slash system at its core but there's still block-puzzles and vine-climbing and "dungeons". I also got OoT vibes from several things in Batman: Arkham City. Unlike the first game its "Open World" feature is done like Hyrule field in OoT and the gothamite buildings are all themed, like "The Penguin's Museum" and "The Chemical Factory", and the boss-battles are some of the best Zelda-like bosses I have ever experienced.

In fact, those first two Batman games were largely directed by a guy named Paul Crocker, who got fired after City, and went on to work on Halo Infinite. Funny enough, they added "Zelda puzzle complete!" sounds to Halo Infinite, and a focus on "Boss encounters". Almost like Paul Crocker just wants to make a Zelda game.

This and the Coldegra fight with the dragon roost island remix were the only two parts to give me any sort of emotional pull over the 2 switch games.

Zelda mainline games have been losing their humanity since TP, probably because of the backlash that WW received.

WW anime antics were passable thanks to the toon art style but yeah, they started becoming too weeb for their own good shortly after that. Especially after SS.
SNES, GB, N64, GBA and CG remain the golden era of Zelda games and a lot of their charm comes from the fact that they're a largely a perfect blend of standard western fantasy and Japanese anime themes.

The latest stuff in the post Fujibayashi-era games are fucking cringe with all of the weeb and anime tropes forcibly thrown into them.

It's pretty interesting that they went out of their way to include this. I imagine it would have been a small percentage of players that would have bothered to redo the side quest, and it could have easily just been something stupid like 500 rupees, but Nintendo went out of their way to animate link getting smoshed by Malon (i mean cremia) milkers. Very based

>>712944410
This, it's similar to the final Calamity Ganon fight from BoTW. All spectacle and show while the actual boss just aimlessly stands around waiting to get hit.

Navi was also another maternal figure. Probably the one he ended up having the strongest attachment to since she was there with him through the thick and thin of his adventure.

The reason she's said is not because of this maternal figure headcanon bs but because she had feeling for him.

He was always destined to leave, I like your take on this. Navi at the end of game, is apologetic for not bring able to help him further - though she makes amends she realizes he is a Hylian through and through.

Yes, either seeing him as a child or potentially even a sibling. Her and Darunia's reaction to the defeat of Ganon seems to solidify this even further. Not to mention Mido and Link's interactions in Lost Woods (adult).

Just like how I play 3D Zelda. In my head it's more hardcore than it actually is. Sadly I've found that the "Hero Modes" of the games aren't balanced well and just end up frustrating instead. In my replay of Ocarina of Time I did have a blast with a no-heart-containers run, so I only had one row of hearts from Heart Pieces by the time I got to the end. I also ignored the final Great Fairy upgrade and I actually failed 3 times without fooling around against Ganondorf's Phase 1.

I also ended up super loving Twilight Princess HD in Hero Mode. Actually stocking up on bottled milk and potions changes the sense of danger in the game, and gives more reason to use the Oocca inside dungeons, so save the location and go out to restock, which can be done without wasting that much time thanks to Midna's ass.

It just sucks I have to resort to pure autism to pretend Zelda is anything other than kid-friendly in the gameplay-department. I wish I enjoyed the combat-"feel" of Breath of the Wild more because I was so happy to see Nintendo actually make a 3D Zelda that isn't forgiving with how much damage you take, and how much preparation matters.

You just want romance between those two because you like children, anon. Anything I can do to help you seek help through the appropriate sources? I don't give a shit about any headcanon (especially your dogshit interpretation on a child's game) so I can tell you to play a game less complex than OoT - you clearly took the wrong lessons away from playing the game and are likely on a federal watch list.

>>712946847
I firmly believe that Zelda 2 and the Z-targeting invented in Ocarina of Time and the "R to hold shield while strafing" stuff is the direct source material they looked at when making Demon's Souls.

You know that it started from Kings Field which are dungeon-crawlers but they're first person and really primitive mechanically. So making a more action-oriented version of King's Field which then morphed into Demon's Souls they looked elsewhere and found ideas in Ocarina of Time.

When I played Dark Souls II which was my first Souls game, I immedaitely got flashbacks to Ocarina of Time. I can't explain it, but being in Majula, and going to the first forested area where you hear the same Raven cackling sound sample that is used in Zelda, I just immediately felt like it was inspired by Ocarina of Time.

I think it's just basic specular mapping along with colored polygons. N64 did a lot of visuals by not relying too much on diff textures and just used colored polygons with pixel shaders on them, to create imagery. It's largely how Mario is painted in Mario 64, and Ocarina of Time was directly made on top of Mario 64 after it was finished, so a lot of the same methods were used.

But even so, Naoki Mori (who is still working on Zelda cinematics btw) did a lot of specific work on the tone of the lighting in these cutscenes. They really were making the best game they could imagine back then, and it was lightning in a bottle.

>>712947149

I played OoT and MM back in the day on my N64 and I didn't mind BotW. I saw BotW as a pretty chill exploration game desu. It was kinda like Minecraft without the building.I didn't bother with TotK though because it looked like exactly the same game. Lazy ass Nintendo

>>712946506
I really wish I liked TP more. But I genuinely feel like these moments weren't earned by the end. Ganondorf's insertion as the final antagonist is super clumsy and the 4 phases of his boss encounter are really badly paced with the story. It kinda starts and stops and loses momentum several times before it's over.

OoT is way cleaner. You confront Ganon after the game started with having nightmares about him, the second half genuinely shows him having ruined the innocence of Hyrule, and you've been waiting the whole game for it. You go up to the top of his castle and the music builds the suspense. You fight him directly and win, then you escape as his castle crumbles, but right as you think it's over, he tries to take you down within the rubble of his ruined castle, plus the game bridges Ocarina of Time to previous Zelda games by showing Ganondorf becoming Ganon for the first time in the timeline.

All of that is so epic. But in TP the usage of Midna and Zant are way more effective throughout the game than Ganon is, and while they do introduce him in a flashback midway through the game, they basically haven't characterized his evil in the rest of the game by the time he suddenly becomes the main force of evil at the end. For example, what did the Twilight even do to the "World of Light"? I can't tell. It just kind of scared some people in Hyrule Castle town but Link cleared all of Hyrule from those Twilight Zones before the game even got started, so you're just left with a plot that lacks any threat here at the end, and it's completely isolated to Ganon, Link, Zelda and Midna fighting "in private", unbeknownst to the land they're supposedly trying to save.

>>712947782

>Ganondorf's HP bar when he enters phase 2
It was pretty kino. Him topping it off by turning into a Dragon was cool.

OoT was super polished. BotW was a cool concept but severely unpolished. I expected TotK to be the best Zelda ever since it should've been BotW with polish but they somehow went backwards. They added more shrines and koroks and towers and camps when there should have been none of it. That shit was obviously added in BotW because they didn't have enough time to fill the world so they made assets they can copy and paste. Absolutely mind-boggling how they missed the point. Idk if the BotW team got lazy or were replaced.

>>712947009
I think Calamity Ganon Phase 1 is really great mechanically and also challenging, but I hate the inverse difficulty you get with actually playing the main story through. Clearing out the Divine Beast boss-rush is fine but why the fuck did the game have to cut his HP in half? I really like you can go to Ganon any time but it would feel more rewarding if the payoff for 100%'ing the game was that you were simply more capable and ready to fight him at his hardest version. Instead you've over-prepared and he's nerfed into oblivion to the point where you easily cut through the first phase without truly experiencing it. I had better times with BotW when I did half-playthroughs and went to Ganon than the one where I really savored it to the end.

Also, TotK Ganondorf is fairly epic but all is ruined by the cinematically uninteresting interior look of the cave you're fighting in. I'll never understand why they didn't dramatize his 1-v-1 fight better. At least Calamity Ganon happens inside this "Astral Observatory" that has murals of all corners of the world inside it, to make the finale feel special. It reminded me of Majora's Mask's finale then. But Ganondorf in TotK is just surrounded by a sea of brown and red and it looks fucking terrible.

>>712947828
>plus the game bridges Ocarina of Time to previous Zelda games by showing Ganondorf becoming Ganon for the first time in the timeline
It's always funny when people pretend Nintendo never cared about the timeline, or at the very least in broad strokes. From the second Zelda 2 existed and it was established to be a direct sequel with the same Link and Zelda, a timeline was established. Then in the manual for Link to the Past you find out Ganon used to be a human named Ganondorf. Then in OoT you finally meet said Ganondorf, King of Thieves. Then, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess each follow one of OoT's two Fallen Hero is stupid timeline splits with a Ganondorf that's had time to reflect and somewhat chill out and another one whose's imprisonment made him even more mad and confrontational. Even Skyward Sword, mid as it is, introduced the concept of Demise.

That build up is something TotK not only lacks, but outright kills. BotW got away with it by setting itself at the very end of known history and alluding to vague lore to interest YouTube autists but they then wrote Ganondorf into TotK and expanded on the Zonai... and didn't stick the landing.

breath of the wild was an unfinished game demo and tears of the kingdom is them finishing it and blaming all the success of the original unfinished game that nobody would have fucking bought if not for the chinese buying literally anything, upon the chinese, and then turning ganon and zelda into fucking chinese myth dragons.

both are retarded, and the second one is chinese cuckoldry. zoomers got railed on zelda appreciation. RIP.

You can do this in Dark Souls as well.

Yeah, that's the whole point of her dialogue in the Sage's Chamber you dumbass secondary. The absolute fucking gall to try and lecture me about a game that you've only absorbed through shitposting osmosis then proceed to spout absolute idiotic nonsense like NEET bucks and gachcoomslop, whatever the fuck that even is. Retard.

directionless developers create equally directionless game and miraculously hit peak normiebait

>>712939143
there's a cutscene every time you activate a shrine

OoT had so may cozy moments like on death mountain trail theres a spot you can look over the side and see the village.

the game in general had a really satisfying sense of exploration and completing stuff

>beat boss
>heart container spawns
>that musical ambiance

>>712939143
That entire game is a shitty unskipable cutscene.
Where does the start of TOTK even take place? it's not even reachable in the game, literally cutscene zone, ubisoft games do open world better than this slop.

>>712933840
It's really weird that Ganon keeps acting like he's fully dominating even as Link supposedly has him on the back foot.

>>712952762
Read the word anon said before "cutscenes"

>>712948347
I really dislike how much you take off his health bar in this phase with the master sword. Feels like it's pointless to make the bar that long if it's just going to equal out to a normal bar.

>>712949762
that roll has 0 invincibility frames and cant be used while the sword is out, its about the furthest from roll slop you can possibly get

what's the problem? he blockin' attacks.

I finished that open world slop botw and am still mad they made link such a faggot. Every single fanart depicting him makes him more masculine. It's one thing if he were a boy like young link, but I guess he's around 14-16 and at that age you can't be a short faggy male anymore. I guess I should congratulate nintendo on their nu-audience they apparently wanted so much. Whatever, zelda (and probably nintendo) are fucking dead.

Based anon living out the fantasy in real life and almost fucking dying for it

>>712951009
It's funny that iron knuckles have unblockable attacks but not the final boss.

>>712955808
It's been like 21 years and all downhill since then, but I killed the fucker

Me switching back to the biggorron's sword after recovering the master sword assuming it's better not realizing Ganon has a special damage table that makes it so that he only takes 1 damage to everything except the master sword so I'm making phase 2 much harder for myself.

I fucking love OoT
Meanwhile i love the lore around MM but i dont know man its just not fun to replay

>>712946506
I will never replay this game because the first 4 hours are insufferable.

>>712956279
Same. MM is insanely clunky to play compared to OoT.

>>712956279
>>712956730
No way, bros. MM is a great gun and worth a play, just not all the time. Maybe once every few years.

>poor Link missed out on getting his master sword sucked by some prime Gerudo poon

>>712935396
I believe the censorship came about in 1.2, not 1.1.

>>712932627 (OP)
Unironically the game got worse and worse as it dragged on
>beginning is unabashed kino
>trio gems are kino
>first parts as adult are great
>last few temples are good
>castle is decent
>first ganondorf battle is alright
>second ganondorf battle is meh
>escape segment sucks

>>712956804
I'm sorry but the camera lagging behind after Z targeting and the lack of fast swim is insanely jarring to me.

>>712949021
the zelda timeline was fine until aomura fucked it up with the flood in wind waker
it had never been mentioned before, and the game ends with hyrule being abandoned forever
every game before it fit fairly well into the timeline that oot established, 2d games were adult link timeline and majora's mask was young link
wind waker forced itself into the adult link timeline, which in turn fucked the placement of every game that came out before oot

>>712942956
>"not deliberately trivializing the game's final boss fight"
I mean, yeah???? Do you really think retards in this thread would be singing any praises for OoT Ganon if they actually fought him with that fucking thing? Lol

>>712932627 (OP)
Top 5 Zelda games are (from best to worst):
A Link to the Past
Majora's Mask
Oracle of Ages/Seasons
Ocarina of Time
Link's Awakening

>>712947414
ITS UP TO US TO TAKE OUT UMBRELLA
Best goddamn ending.

>>712944528
oh they didnt animate it "on purpose". but you could still call it that lol, IIRC the story goes that the animation was gonna be different, cant remember if it was just a normal hug or something else, but it just bugged itself to look like what we got, tits to the face, and the devs just went "hell yeah not changing that"
my headcanon? Cremia herself willed this into existence

>>712951009
>I'm just not gonna progress the game
Okay? What is this trying to prove?
