(Saw this question asked on another popular link aggregation website and it got me thinking)
If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would you choose? This might be because you want to do it all again, or because you don’t think you got enough out of it the first time. It could be experiencing the game exactly as you were back then, or experiencing a game with what you know now.
For me, it’s Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, experienced exactly as I was back in 1991.
Nothing comes close to how jaw-droppingly amazed I was by that opening sequence. The epic orchestral score, the cinematic rainstorm, creeping around in the dark… it was a generational leap above anything I’d played on 8-bit computers and consoles, and even the Megadrive. I’d love to play it again without thirty plus years of Nintendo/Zelda knowledge, or without knowing about the dark world.
I actually really liked the remakes. Pretty much just as good as the originals imo. Sorry you did not enjoy it anymore :(
They seemed like good remakes. It’s just not the kind of thing I want to spend my time playing anymore. It was still fun enjoying the nostalgia for a little while though. I’m glad they exist.
Ah, I see. Fair enough. I am glad that they exist too. It is pretty impressive imo. Since they did not have the source code and had to do some really fancy stuff to remake the game.
