Super Princess Peach

I like Popful Mail and Actraiser. I didn't hate Y's III either.

The time-limit in Majora's mask wasn't really limiting, except for the first 20 minutes of the game. There's no hurry once you slow down time. Majora's mask was the first Zelda game that had interesting characters. Without the 3 day limit, it wouldn't have been possible to watch them go about their lives, day by day, until... KABOOM. Watching a girl wait to die while her fiance was nowhere to be seen was pretty sad (if you didn't save him), especially for a Nintendo game. Only that frickin' goron maze at the end spoiled an otherwise perfect game. But geez, the tree in the field. And the turtle. And giant things underwater to scare the shit out of me. 3rd temple boss=TERRIFYING. And the zombie dad...

OOT was okay, but besides the 3D thing, it didn't do much to make it stand out from any other Zelda. Characters= cardboard cut-outs. Puzzles were alright and the world was more interesting than, oh... LINK TO THE PAST.

WW's marionette is Nintendo's love letter to the fans. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Minish Cap was pure wonderful, except that it was too short. Maybe it wasn't, i just played it too much when i had it. Getting that last kinstone and ridiculous amounts of whatever it was to make the statues didn't work for me.

I loved the atmosphere in Majora's Mask. The creepy music, the subdued vibe.. a great game for Halloween, actually.

I believe it was released in NA a week before Halloween.

I imported it upon Japanese release. That was a mistake considering how important it is to talk to the townspeople in that game.

Ocarina is the best Zelda game.

Princess Peach looks fun. Import impressions please.

That quote is referring to Master System port of the first Genesis game which happens to be the fourth WB game on SMS. Dylan is talking about the second game in the series. Confusing enough? ;)

Okay, okay, I think I'm straight now.

Monster World IV had the green-haired arabian girl, and was for Genesis. Before that, there was another Monster World game, which was the same king of "back and forth adventure, not stages" game with a blue-haired guy. THAT's the game I'm talking about, and the game I thought he was talking about. That game has a save feature of some sort.

He was talking about Wonder Boy in Monster Land, NOT Monster World. Right?

Sorry I just love debating the Zelda series. Oot was good, but it's no Lttp. I've beat Lttp dozens of times. After going through Oot once, that was pretty much it besides the extra's. All I would do is just play the ending fight with Gannon when I did play it again, but I'm not even using that to say which is best. Lttp was so much more exploritory, and adventurous than Oot IMO.

I think 3D is more suited for exploring and adventuring. And at the time Ocarina was perhaps the most impressive 3D console game. Sure, the overworld in LTTP might have more stuff to do, but there were so many breathtaking moments in Ocarina. It was more immersive than any 2D zelda game ever was.

Yeah, I think adventure works better in 3D, even if control is more awkward.

I love them both equally. I've played through both of them three times.

I agree. Ocarina had more "Wow, that's amazing" moments than any other game in the series. It's the most epic. I don't think 3d is inherently superior for the genre though. I think Majora's Mask and Wind Waker have serious design flaws.

Minish cap bored the hell out of me. Also, it felt like a task.
