It was? This is news to me.

Also: Punishing dungeons and overwhelming odds? What ridiculously pansy NES games were you playing before Zelda to think those terms apply?

Pansy compared to like, Milon's Secret Castle Meets Battletoads, maybe. Zelda 1 was pretty difficult. How long has it been since you've played it?

I bought 3D Dot Heroes the other day.

Is it fun?

I don't know, it hasn't arrived at my house yet.

I can not fathom any one calling this the worst Zelda game. I personally put this well above Wind Waker, and probably above OoT as well.

This is the only 3-d one I didn't force myself to finish. I'm surprised at all the hate.

Yeah, it blows away Wind Waker (hey, a shitty pun) by not having to deal with all that empty space and forced fetch quests. WW's only real advantage is the art direction. Ocarina I'm not sure about as it has been a while for me. Twilight's a refinement of it in some ways but OoT's more challenging and gives incentive for exploration. Twilight piles on the health without having to work much for it.

That kills like...90% of the PSP library right there.

[08'35"49] <bVork> Hero makes a valid point but somehow completely misses the hypocrisy
[08'36"05] <bVork> because 95% of the wii library should not be on wii

Why do you write such stupid and unnecessary shit like that.

Why.

Actually, I had more of an issue with Twilight Princess's huge expanses of nothing than Wind Waker's sea. There were far more warps in the latter, and finding an island guaranteed that you'd see something interesting. TP didn't fill its world nearly as well. I had no desire to explore in TP but I just loved uncovering every island in WW.
