Clearly a Twerking Tingle is worth an extra .13 more than the average point, he clearly rounded up the 8.47 points worth of Twerking Tingles and rounded up to 8.5 for the audience's convenience. Why .13 you ask? well, I think you can figure it out if you just think about it *long* enough.

I like that the art style isn’t just a 3D imitation of the 2D graphics, it went for a pretty bold and unique style and there was a lot of effort put into the art direction. It’s charming and I like how everything has sorta a tactile nature to it, I feel like I could touch these little models and I know what they’d feel like.

The sad thing is that from a purely computational perspective, the Switch has enough power to run this game at 60fps as it did with Mario Odyssey, it's just that this game in particular has a memory leak issue which causes it to run really badly when assets are loaded in. Memory leak because, even when you enter, say, a small room where the GPU and CPU should have no problem keeping up, the framerate still drops because it still has unnecessary assets loaded in, getting worse each time you enter and exit a house repeatedly. Being a memory issue, it also noticably improves performance to have the game run off of internal storage as it is the fastest medium for Switch.

"The sound design is great" *stock pot smashing sounds in the distance*

0:53 to 1:16 is the exact reason so many pokemon fans are upset with the Diamond and Pearl remakes. From the material we've seen so far, the visuals absolutely look phoned in. The character sprites are the biggest issue of contention, and a lot of people defend them by saying "the originals were chibi too, so you should like them because they're being faithful." The original models were pixel art representations of a much larger sprite that the game shows you from the beginning, as a sort of contention that it isn't possible on this hardware to have the more detailed full anime looking sprite on screen, so we will substitute it with this abstracted chibi sprite. Many players looked at the original chibi sprite and imagined a more fully realized model, because the game basically tells you to. Not to mention the strange lighting choices and scattered art direction, I think make the remakes visual style fail on every level to compete with the players interpretation of the original pixel art. At least with Link's Awakening, you can tell that there was more time, money, and effort put in to making a highly detailed and beautifully rendered world. Even if it "isn't to your taste", it's a much higher quality execution than the Diamond and Pearl remakes.

The horse puzzle moves exactly as a Knight piece does in chess, and the direction it will leap in is always the way it is facing, that would be a good puzzle but it assumes outside knowledge that is never told to the player in game.

I think the look of the intro cutscene in the original set the idea of what the graphics were representative of (regardless of how strange it would look to follow that style while faithfully remaking the dungeon layouts), so a lot of people were put off when a version of the game on a system with graphics less crude than the GB had it's own divergent style

Having never played the original links Awakening, I really enjoyed this version, it gave me that nostalgic NES and SNES feeling I hadn't had in years, I loved the field depth and motion blur the art style was different yet gave it this awesome unique in the series feel to it, having played almost all the console Zelda's I really enjoyed playing this and rate it very highly, the creative elements is a definite welcome and is quite noticeable when comparing it to the standard Nintendo Zelda offerings, I was amazed how real the world felt with its art style and sound effects, this was one overhaul that I truly appreciated, the experience certainly delivered, I think the narrator in this video is a little over dramatic in his harsh criticism, there were a few things that I agreed with, yet I did enjoy this game from start to finish unlike Breath of the Wild which after the first 2 thirds felt very repetitive, I take my hat off to the team that remade this game, you did a good job at rebuilding this despite the 8 angle short coming

Unfortunately haven't gotten the game yet so I don't even know if this is a thing, but what would have been a cool Easter egg bonus to unlock in the game would be if they would allow you to change the overall color palette to that of a green screen like the original Gameboy or the Gameboy color palette, while keeping the same 3D visuals

I kind of liked the digital movement. I find that much modern animation runs the risk of trying to flow too smoothly or organically that it feels slow and unlike any artistic style it's trying to improve on. The sudden shifts that came with only 8 directions resembled a lot of what I imagined a digital game modernized would look: kind of like the way the fix-it-Felix-jr people were animated in Wreck-it-Ralph.

I think it took me over a year of just giving up and coming back later to get through that one. English isn't my first language, so as a kid that puzzle was hard to understand because I didnt' relate the owl's tip to that room. the frustration xD but still, it was part of the charm. I miss that in breath of the wild. most puzzles are so easy, it takes away that feeling of "I discovered a secret!"

What a great way to start the morning

4:00 the way those Knight statues bounce... When I played through as a kid every single time I'd just throw it till it worked. Then when I replayed now I did that too but I found it WAY harder to get it to hit the right place than in the original... then my roommate was like "I don't get it, why aren't you just throwing it there? It's like a Knight chess piece right?" and my mind was fucking blown that I had somehow never realized that lmao

The original game was severely limited by the Gameboy having so few buttons. Just putting it on a system with more buttons made a world of difference. I never had any difficulty with the puzzles personally. The game is pretty good at staying within a given area of the map with what it requires you to do. The frame rate and lack of analog stick movement really sucks. It would’ve been really cool to allow free analog movement with the stick, and 8-way movement with the d-pad. Mapping the feather to the other triggers would’ve been a nice touch as well. Even in spite of those three issues, the frame rate is the only one that truly bothers me. I do think if those three things were fixed, the game would be pretty close to perfect.

I honestly didn’t mind the digital movement. I thought I would hate it, but I adapted to it rather quickly. I'll agree that it was a weird decision to not include analog controls, but the game doesn’t really need it in my opinion. Also, say what you will about the dungeon maker, but I absolutely loved it. My only complaint is that it is far too limiting; I want to see it expanded upon in a full on Zelda maker.

I felt that they had to restrict the players movement in this game in order to keep some of the puzzles in tact. If I'm remembering correctly there were a few puzzles that could be abused if 360 control was added. Just letting people use the hookshot at the new angles allowed for a little bit of jank in and of itself.

Just checked and you're right. A handful of items are restricted to eight directions. I hadn't thought about that when I had first written that post. I'm still fine with the control method we have. It reminds me of the original and in no way hinders the gameplay experience.

The horse head tossing puzzle I had a eureka moment when I realized that they bounce like the Knight's chess piece moves.

Your game reviews should be sent straight up to Nintendo HQ to be considered as official, unbiased feedback. Really the best I've seen!

I'm not sure about the "pixel art lets you fill it in yourself". Maybe in the Atari/Arcade era and many NES games only, but certainly SNES games and Link's Awakening. Is there some sort of study on this?

I loved the chess puzzle in the face shrine. Its a night, so it only moves in an L, and the floor is a chess board. I figures it out all by myself and made my brain mega happy

I'm looking forward for them doing the same to the Oracle games learning from the criticisms of this game, it could be something really special

I really loved playing this game, I went in expecting an okay experience, but I really sunk in to it. Edit: I basically didn't have to use a guide, even fot the chess part xD. Hint: the pieces move like chess pieces move :O.

You know looking at the bouncing puzzle where they bounce a certain way, it seems kinda obvious that those are knights from chess. On a chessboard.

That intro is iconic

Other than BOTW, this game and A Link Between Worlds have been the only other Zelda games I’ve actually been able to sink my teeth into and really enjoy. I’m going to try my hand at a few of the more “rigid” Zelda games this year, including Ocarina of Time, so hopefully I’m able to enjoy it.

Wind Waker is my personal favorite right after BOTW. I think it comes the closest of all the 3D games to offering a similar level of freedom and exploration. Fingers crossed it gets brought to the switch. I’m baffled Nintendo hasn’t ported the Wii U HD version already. It’s just sitting there rotting on a dead console. Same with Twilight Princess HD. Personally, I think Majora’s Mask is better than Ocarina. It’s probably my third favorite. It’s truly bizzare, and I think it’s a miracle of a game given it’s year long development cycle.

Wind Waker is the top of my list for 3D Zeldas. It is well worth your time. Play HD it plays better than the original.
