So, how do you know in advance if your amiibo will be able to do anything at all in any game? I'm thinking about getting the mega yarn Yoshi, regardless of if it will ever do anything in a Switch game, but other than that I don't know. And yeah it's fun when thing like that work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oobedoob S Benubi Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Playing through A Link To The Past again on my SNES. I can live with Link not having a green tunic but those awesome melodies need to be there, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jak Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 What are the essential Zelda games worth playing, especially for story and difficulty (combat, puzzles, boss battles)? Dont list TP, WW, OoT, SS, or MM. I already know those are ranked as the best all time Zelda games. I played but never beat WW and TP. I need to catch up on my Zelda, for BotW, as I only beat Four Swords (..... lel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oobedoob S Benubi Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Getting more excited than ever for a new Zelda. It's going to be awesome, it's just a question of how much awesome vs how much narm (still not a fan of the in-game WiiU gamepad). Still plowing through Link To The Past, working on dungeon 6 in the Dark World now. Really want to play through Ocarina Of Time once more now, but it'll have to wait until after Breath Of The Wild, I guess. At least it should be possible to do Super Mario 64 again before Odyssey (I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle_Aura Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 The only thing wrong with the Playstation port of Chrono Trigger is the atrocious load times. Otherwise, it's superior to the SNES version. DS is still better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavergray Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Breath Of The Wild is looking really good, but I'm not sure if it's worth $400. 22 hours ago, Mar said: What are the essential Zelda games worth playing, especially for story and difficulty (combat, puzzles, boss battles)?

Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 All these things have basically got me to go Play the new one Play Ocarina & Link to the Past Play Wind Waker See what else floats my goat ... Moreover, there was a bit someone said about potentially doing the final boss real early in the new one. I hope something like that is possible. I prefer to clear out the story and then do the free roaming stuff and since the big N has put so much emphasis on open world free roaming this time round, I'll like to leave that until the end. The real question becomes, do I play Ocarina now, or play the new one, get hype, then play it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oobedoob S Benubi Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Awww yeah, Link To The Past completed This means I've now played through A Link To The Past, Ocarina Of Time, The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Spirit Tracks. Seeing as people are talking about the ports now, I feel like adding that I've played all the original versions (and in the case of Twilight Princess, which had two versions appear around the same time: the Game Cube version). As for Link To The Past, sorry to you 2D fans but I still think Ocarina Of Time is better. It's all relative though - Link To The Past is certainly an amazing game and I'd rate it among my top experiences on the SNES. I'd also rate it higher than any other Zelda game I've played. In case you want to know (and in case you don't, still): Ocarina Of Time, Link To The Past, The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Spirit Tracks. I kinda stopped playing the Wii before Skyward Sword came out, if that one would somehow find its way onto the Switch then I'm definitely playing it. I never had Majora's Mask on the N64 but I tried it on the Game Cube and it didn't appeal to me enough to keep playing... I'm ready to give it another try though. That covers all the main console games except the NES era and I'm not really running to get my hands on those, not really aching for the handhelds either.

The real question becomes, do I play Ocarina now, or play the new one, get hype, then play it? You definitely got the best stuff covered there, in my eyes. Definitely do Ocarina Of Time and Link To The Past. Yes the new Zelda can be played out of order again but my guess is that, just like in Link To The Past, you'll have to do all the main quest stuff before you can open the Very Definitely Final Dungeon. As far as I can tell there's tons of things to do in the new Zelda next to the main quest, even more so than in the other games, which all had their fair share of side quests, mini games, optional dungeons... Do you already have Ocarina lying around? I thought you didn't have it yet but I could be mistaken. If you don't have it yet, just wait for the Virtual Console version on the Switch.

MegaZeroXX Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Zelda: Breath of the Wild, is enough for me to play up until December when the Mario game comes out. I'll definitely going to buy Nintendo Switch with Breath of the wild, not in Day one, but a couple of months after its released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Zelda: Breath of the Wild is by far the biggest Zelda game to date, and judging by its development staff count, it’s the biggest Nintendo game to date as well. Breath of the Wild took four years to develop and employed 300 developers at Nintendo. That’s according to Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, who has been working on Zelda games for 20 years. With that many developers working for that long, it would also most certainly make it the most expensive game Nintendo has ever made. The game was originally meant to be released on the Wii U in 2015, but Nintendo decided to push it to 2016, and then to 2017 in order to launch with the Switch. And just to remind you of how vast Breath of the Wild is, here’s a comparison of the game world in Breath of the Wild compared to other Zelda games (and Skyrim): Source: Nintendotoday Big worlds don't really matter if there is nothing interesting to do in them but so far BotW looks absolutely amazing and I'm confident Nintendo can deliver with this one. Lets hope I can snag a Pro controller at launch, I really don't want to play this game with the joy cons, even in the grip the Switch comes with.

Case in point, No Man's Sky had loads of worlds but nothing to do. But just like in Skyrim, I think Zelda will sooner have too much content than not enough. I do so hope it will be awesome... I think I already touched on this but I'm going to try using the double joy controller first, I will try out the pro controller in the store and see which I prefer.
