Video Game General 6.5: Now with more surprise mechanics

The GameCube version of Twilight Princess worked just fine from what I remember.

The Gamecube version controls were fine, and Link Left handed.
The Wii version mirrors EVERYTHING and insist on having bad motion controls.

I saw it as a crumbling of Nintendo’s usually strong will, giving the “fans” what they want, and us being delivered a creatively bankrupt, but still mostly enjoyable Zelda game. Twilight Princess is Zelda Paint by Numbers in the most painfully blatant way. I dig it’s darker atmosphere, its npcs having character, but Majoras Mask does both better while being a better game to boot.

Twilight Princess >>>> Majora’s Mask

I never liked Majoras Mask honestly.

This is why I prefer Twilight Princess over Majora’s Mask.
Yeah the MM NPCs have “character” but its very cartoony and two dimensional.

Like I can feel the weight of whats pressing on each NPC in TP.

And with the exception of some outliers (THE Fucking BABY WHO BECAME A MERCHANT NPC) everyone is much more reliable for their motivations. Even the Bug Princess is more reliable that all of MM Cast and most of Wind Walker’s Cast of NPCs. The only really good NPC character in WW they “character assassinate” because they want to make her a princess.

I also enjoy Twilight Princess a thousand times more than I ever would with Majora’s Mask as I feel I am not going to be punished for exploration. The 3 days timed mechanic was bull shit and the 4 Mecha Dungeons of BOTW is more dungeon than the whole of MM. I want to run around in ruins for hours, taking my time with puzzles without a guide so I can sole them without a timer.

Only Zelda game that did a time mechanic that was not complete shit was the BS Zelda for the Satellaview add on to the SNES, and that was presented as a Master Quest of Master Quests for the OG Game. And you didn’t feel punished for exploring despite the ticking clock and the inability to rewind it back.

Also the FF7R uses the same plot outline as the original.

Lmao wut?

Every NPC in Majora’s Mask was lifted from Loony Toons.
It was about a cartoonish as it can get. Plus on the 3rd day people still go along with the fair despite that it should be obvious the Moon which now has a angry face on it is about to Crash into the Planet.

Every Hyrulian NPC in TP while in the Twilight shows that they know they are fucked, they know the situation is dire, some try to work their way out while others are in despair. Their reactions has a weight to them.

Nonsense.

Also nonsense. Some people are still going with it cuz a theme of the game is denial. Others like the Samurai are huddled in a corner scared to death of dying and say so blatantly.

I mean I wouldn’t call TPs cast right out of Loony Toons either and it literally has a walking chicken head for a character.

Snip

Mainly because the designers were trying to do it near nude characters for a minute at Nintendo. The Great Fairy in OoT was wearing strategic vines and leaves, Link’s Awakening had mermaids and animal creatures and etc. This was the first game they could make a human like creature with aspects they couldn’t define as well in other games.

Nintendo designers have been low key horny from beginning, technology and social acceptance of it have just progressed so they don’t have to hide it as much.

Never thought I’d here Majora’s Mask be compared to Looney Tunes in any type of conversation but apparently it’s happening and I can’t shake my head enough. If someone had said that about Wind Waker I wouldn’t have batted an eye but this? I can’t…

Walking talking human head on a chicken I can lead to a sense of disbelief as it was the last of a ancient race of advance people who kinda de-evolved into what they are and there magic in play. Zelda is a fantasy series so I can hand wave it a bit. They remind me of the Asgard in Star Gate, they are so evolved their bodies entropy to being useless and they are dying out.
