They need ot make harder zelda games. Nintendo go back to your roots please.

They already went 'back to the roots' with a crap tonne of games; Donkey Kong Country Returns, Newer New New Newest Super Mario Bros. Consolename and to top it off; a Legend of Zelda: A Link between Worlds. Games won't neccesarily be harder because a company 'returns to it's roots', if anything it makes it easier for us since we are already familair with the concepts.

tbh Zelda games were never that hard to begin with.

OoT Water temple

are you trying to tell me that the water temple was hard

As adult link, yea kind of hard

It's not hard, it's tedious. There's a difference.

tbh it wasn't even that tedious

the only thing that gave me any problems was that deformed fish

Constantly pausing to equip the Iron Boots wasn't tedious? Come the f*** on

nah i equip and un-equip fairly quickly

i think fastest i beat that temple was like 30~40 mins

How quickly you do it doesn't matter, it's still ridiculous.

Please don't try to defend something that Aonuma outright apologised for

hey, no defense here

i just personally think it was an okay temple
nothing compared to zelda II

I wonder how Zelda would be today if they wouldn't ever use 3D environments.

Probabaly like Phantom Hourglass or A Link Between Worlds.

I think that averages out to mediocre

Well, I bought A Link Between Worlds today, and I'm wondering were my Zelda Game is. Sure I have a green hood, a master sword, and a princess named Zelda, but the formula is all wrong. What is this crap about ...'renting' your items, before you even go to a temple? Zelda games are fun because of learning how new items work with old ones to solve puzzles. I've just got to Lorule and so far the only time something like that happens is in the Wisdom Temple when you can use the bow to actually skip part of two of the puzzles that actually want you to solve them another way. All the wonder and mystery is taken out of the Temples, you don't ever see a part were you go "what in the world can I possible find to solve this puzzle" you just hit X (or Y) and move on. Like the big springs, if I didn't have a hammer I'd be so confused. Instead I saw the little ones that are mandatory in the beginning pop back up after hitting them once and solved the whole temple right there. No aha! moment just kinda an oh... moment. I didn't feel the instant gratification of solving the first half of the temple, getting the temple item, and then figuring out all those little places that were just odd before.

Someone tell me I didn't just blow $40 on the worst Zelda game ever. Tell me a better villain arrives, tell me the 'walking on walls thing' evolves so I haven't already mastered it, please tell me temples will require more than some sword swinging and press X to move on.

Gonna go play 2-3 more temples, and if they suck, I'll probably just cry for a couple of hours.
