Topic: Links Awakening is awesome!

[BMC_War Machine]

I love Link's Awakening.  It's not my favorite Zelda, but it's up there.  It just has sooo much more content than most other Gameboy games from that era.  The soundtrack is great, and the graphics are perfect for the tiny Gameboy screen.  And it has atmosphere...so much atmosphere!

Unfortunately, I really feel the series went downhill after Link's Awakening.  I'm not trying to start up a flame war, but I never really cared for Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask (yes, I've played through both).  I really loved A Link Between Worlds though.  It felt like a great return to form.  I definitely like the 2D Zeldas over the 3D ones.  But I could never get into the Capcom games (Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, and The Minish Cap).

In other news:

Not nearly complete, but I'm getting there!

Couldn't agree more about the Oracle games. To me they just felt like they were trying waaaay too hard to make another links awakening. Now the Minish Cap on the other hand I thought was one of the best since links awakening. I MO it combined all the goods from classic Zeldas and the 3d games as well. pretty long game too.

I really want to go back and play all three of those again, especially the Oracle games.  I'm all about second chances (and sometimes 3rd and 4th chances) when it comes to retro games.  It took me at least four attempts, starting from scratch each time, to play through Ocarina of Time before I finally finished it.

I always wanted another game like MC with the Four Sword. It was a great addition to the series.

LA is good, but it definitely hasn't aged as well as the OoX games, imo.  The constant messages when you walk into an object and don't have the right item equipped, for example, drag it down a little.

MC is excellent.

The Oracle games did a very very good job with their item ingenuity, though.
And the link-up system to connect the games via a Password was pretty well-implemented.

That stuff did annoy me tbh. I remember playing OoA a long ass time ago and found it fun as well! I'd like to try both Oracle games out again after I beat LA

It was. Definitely. I just wish we could have gotten the third game with the Oracle of Secrets. I'm still wondering how that game would have turned out, what new land we would be exploring, and what new map mechanism would be implemented aside from season changes and time travel.
