Why are the DS Zelda games hated so much?
I remember enjoying them a lot back in the day.

forced touch controls
PH had backtracking
lame overworld traversal

those are the main three, ST gets a little more slack because ghost Zelda was cute

kneecapped by those baby controls. also the graphics look pretty shit. they should've gone with sprites.

Just fucking annoying to play with the dungeons that you have to keep coming back to, and in Spirit Tracks case the train sucks.

because zelda fans dont like zelda games, they just want yellowpaint ootcattle slop.

awful control scheme

>>716000980 (OP)
People just hate chibi link that much.

No, Thank aonuma for assuming the average oot player would be 8 years old and terribly stupid. He has been trolling them for decades now.

You're right, they're usually only one of those things.

Best sidekick

Phantom Hourglass has the only puzzle I genuinely consider to be great. The rest of the franchise is hogwash in that regard.

Which puzzle?

What? When?
were these really hated?

>>716000980 (OP)
I found them very boring and tedious to play. I mean they probably aren't awful but I just personally didn't like them.

>>716000980 (OP)
Because people have shit taste.

I only like LTTP, LA, OOT, MM, Ages, Seasons and Wind Waker.

>>716000980 (OP)
PH only has one dungeon you have to do over and over. And having to use the touch screen to move fucking sucks

>>716000980 (OP)
I am currently playing Phantom Hourglass and the biggest two issues I have are the game’s over reliance on the touchpad for nearly everything (wouldn’t be as big of an issue usually but both movement and combat depend on it. The puzzles are fine though I like their interactivity) and the damn Ocean King Temple that we keep having to return relying on the Phantom Hourglass’ time limit.
That dungeon stopped being fun by the second time we came to it and it keeps becoming a worse chore every time I come back to it. It’s the main reason I didn’t beat this game yet.

The one where you have to close the DS to mirror the sketch

Be careful OP Jannies are deleting threads now and calling it "Off Topic" if you criticize Zelda
