you've just triggered about half of the autists on the board, OP. congrats.

>>11814351 (OP)
Less soul than the original, but still more than the Switch remake.

>>11814351 (OP)
This one is inherently inferior to the original for the simple fact that you have to steal from the shop to complete the game. There is a side quest added in this version where Link can get his picture taken at various times and it’s added to a photo album. One of these events is stealing from the shop, so in order to complete the album and attain 100%, you are forced to steal from the shop and become “Thief”.

Came here to say this and now I'm outta this thread

>>11814636
I'm not grinding for the bow, so it happens naturally anyway. Also the red tunic just makes combat less tedious

>>11814353
Lol, just in the nick of time, eh?

>>11814636

Is there still no recomp'd port for this game besides that one that got taken down? Never liked that one's new graphics anyway (shadows on every sprite, the new HUD, etc), I just want the original with more face buttons.

>>11814636
No game can be deemed "inferior" for purposely annoying autistic completionists; it almost counts as a feature.

>>11814358
I agree because they removed a great feature in the DX.

>>11814636
Stealing is canon

sure, once you apply these hacks.

The quickly slapped together Marin ending?

>>11816709
No. Screen warping with select.

>inherently
Pseudo intellectuals love using this word. You can dismiss the opinion of anyone who uses this word. I would rather play the game in color. Simple as that. Take your autism back to red-dit.

can someone explain why links awakening is "better" than lttp?
its certainly fine but nothing too special asides from the mario cameos

why is dx worse than the original again

>>11818232
It has more collectibles, but that's about it. ALTTP is far superior.

>>11814636
Theft is not a victimless crime, except in this case where there was mever a shop owner to steal from in the 1st place since it was all a dream.

God what horrible box art.

>>11818274
it would be fine if it didn't lazily reuse the ALttP logo

>>11814351 (OP)
Great game but I just hate the constant pausing to change your inventory around, it’s painful only having 2 slots and most of the time you’re going to want the sword on one of them

>>11814636
I don't think DX is "inherently inferior" based on this issue alone, but it's emblematic of a wider problem in this version (and basically all remakes/re-releases of games) where the thought and consideration put into a particular aspect of the game is glazed over in future versions, thereby removing SOVL.

The entire point of the game branding you as a thief for stealing is that you have the choice to do it. If you're forced to do it to see every bit of content, then the moral impact of the choice has been lost. It's a very simplistic and benign morality system, but it has a psychological impact, and forcing players to play a certain way makes the game less interesting and divergent.

Had they let you start and NG+ and have the photos to save to your profile -- and had offered a unique picture you could only acquire by beating the game WITHOUT stealing -- then this would actually be added SOVL. Unfortunately, the system they chose to implement means "you must play X way to get X outcome", which is insulting to the purpose of the original implementation.

Sure, you can play the game without stealing, but you'll always be missing that one dangling carrot. Regardless of whether or not you're a completionism autist, it stings just a little knowing that you'll never get everything without taking sides in a system that supposedly provides freedom of choice.

>>11818313
this is the biggest reason why the switch remake is worth playing, despite how goddamn hideous it is.

>>11814351 (OP)
I thought I would give this game a chance tomorrow. What are the chances I'll like it, considering I didn't think much of LTTP?

>>11814351 (OP)

soulless

>>11814351 (OP)
I want a romhack of DX having the original color palette and then the color dungeon having tons of vibrant colors

I would buy the game just because of the owl

>>11818232
Its smaller scale means it has more character.
The plot of link to the past is more grand but also more totemic.
Zelda is just the princess, Link is the just hero.
Marin is a girl who dreams of a life beyond the island that people tell her doesn’t exist and Link is the stranger from somewhere else that gives Marin hope because his mere existence proves that her dream can come true.
Link’s Awakening may not be big, but it’s small.

Chances are good. LA is the best Zelda game whereas ALTTP is the worst Nintendo made 2D one.

>>11814636
>inherently inferior
>due to one specific completionist nitpick that only affects autistic retards like (You)
Don't think so bucko, stick to eating paint chips.

>>11820484
I hated ALttP but LA is my favorite 2d Zelda. I even like it more than the original and AoL

>>11821604
>ALTTP is the worst
excuse me nigger, ALTTP is the second best after LA, it has the best durability, second best comfyness, a large world, great difficulty dosage, secrets and so on

>>11821545
>life exists beyond the island
>it's full of war, conflict, diseases, greed and all that other shit
Fine for a kid game I guess

>>11821545
Yeah and the style of the Switch remake ruins this

>>11822035
Alttp looks like brown shit with pink sprinkles, sounds like wet farts and is boring as hell.
