Owl is definitely in OOT. He talks forever in that slow typing dialog, but in the final dialog box, he’s asking if you understand. Default option is no, so if you’re trying to click through all his bullshit you then hit that option and he goes through all of it again.
It’s amusing to me how true this was when I was a kid playing. Now as an adult, the ‘clues’ they give you are so obvious I feel like I’m barely even playing.
The first one was really vague with the clues, especially with the kinda bad translation. The second one is better with the clues but incredibly difficult. I cannot beat Ganon in 2.
Oh, you mean the very first games. I never got to play through those for real. My first was ocarina of time. I tried LoZ2 on the super disc that you got with wind waker on the gamecube, but I was still young enough (and spoiled from ocarina, majora’s mask, and wind waker) that I didn’t really get into it and beat it.
If you want to give it a try sometime, don’t pick up any of the six or eight or however many extra lives are available. You’ll need them for the final dungeon and Ganon. You can read a guide online for the locations, I recommend it.
I think the game is really fun. Many people hate it. It is the hardest Zelda game by a country mile. My favorite of the series, the original, is second place in difficulty. Every other game in the series has been easy, sometimes absurdly easy like Twilight Princess. Link to the Past is probably the most difficult of anything other than the first two. I didn’t play Majora’s Mask or anything on the GameBoy so I missed two(?) games.
I actually like how flippantly you say you never beat it because you didn’t really get into it. I have been REALLY into it and I can’t beat it. I beat Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I can’t beat The Adventure of Link. I played a lot as a kid and I’ve made two serious attempts as an adult. It’s no joke! Good luck!
I might have to pull out the disc and fire it up then.

I more meant that I didn’t even try past the first area/level. I remember asking myself, “Is this a zelda game?” because it was just so different than the 3d versions I had played.
You can actually beat Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles‽ I thought it was kinda like Tetris or something, where it just goes on until you die (again and again) or the game crashes /s
I was always proud of my kid-self for almost defeating The Lion King on Sega. I was like two levels away, but always got stuck at the end of a lava-cavern level. Rocks would fall from the top and slowly murder you while you tried to find the exit in a room full of lava geysers.
Turns out, a slab of rock would eventually fall onto one of the geysers, and you were supposed to stand on it and get rocketed out of the level. I thought it would rocket you into the ceiling of the cave and kill you (I mean, it’s a logical thought)… so I never tried.
I played it as an adult and I know I would’ve crushed those last levels as a kid. Trying to kill Scar would’ve been another issue (you have to throw him off the cliff) because I would’ve just kept trying to claw him to death… but I think I would’ve eventually done it, at least accidentally
So yeah, the exit to that lava level still pisses me off lol. Lions can’t pass through solid matter to exit a cave, for fuck’s sake!
Lion King is no joke. I beat it with my roommates almost 20 years ago. We were all unemployed and we trained Lion King every day for a week. The level after the one you got stuck on- you just have to get to it, play it until you run out of lives, then repeat until you have it completely memorized.
And yeah TMNT is totally winnable. You gotta basically get lucky with some of the sewer jumps (hardest part of the game), collect enough missiles for the van, and enough ropes for the roof jumping. That water in "level 2 "everybody cries about ain’t shit once you know that you’re doing.
I did go back and beat The Lion King as an adult, after seeing how to get out of the cave. It was kinda nuts how much muscle memory I still had; like riding a bike. Which makes me wonder how many hours I must’ve put into it as a child lol
I might have to go back and check out TMNT (if I’m feeling up for a little torture). I never could get far in that game; it felt too brutal and confusing. But we’ve got the interwebs now and guides abundant!
Edit: just noticed your Pixies username… well played
I had the opposite experience. I played the game growing up and the Water Temple was one of my favorites. I always saw the memes about how difficult it was and laughed it off, since I didn’t remember anything particularly hard about it.
Then I played the game a few months ago and FUCK ME I could not figure that level out! Eventually had to look up a guide online.
I think the part that threw me as a child was when the central tower area raised a platform when you raised the water level. The camera super focuses on the new hole, but I never saw it. Cue the endless frustration that I had to overcome by looking up a guide.
Did you play the original again as an adult? Because I remember reading that for a re-release they updated the water temple to make figuring out where to go easier. I remember that temple being kind of a pain and I wasn’t a kid at the time.
I think it wasn’t so much about not knowing where I wanted to go but there was a room with water currents that you had to navigate carefully or you’d get pushed out to another section and have to trek back and try again.
I don’t have the original N64 golden cartridge anymore (there’s a fun story, involving an insane fundamentalist christian mother), but did play both the ‘Master’ edition and the ‘original’ edition that they put together on a gamecube disc. I remember that the ‘master’ edition water temple was easier than the original, despite the point of ‘master’ being that everything was harder.
TLDRr/no-sleep material where husband keeps playing a sim game until he eventually becomes the character he modelled after himself in the game.
This reminds me of a no sleep material from reddit that I read, in that story there was a husband who kept playing a sims like game. He created himself and his wife in the game, even going as dar as naming them after themselves and creating the sim in a way that it resembled them and modelling the house after theirs. He kept role playing and playing that game for hours that it did affect his relationship with his wife and she was generally unhappy with him, at one point when he kept playing he noticed that his irl wife was getting distant and distant, meanwhile the sim wife was really happy with her husband. There are a lot that happens in between and then the story goes that one day he noticed his wife was really happy with him. But there was something weird with her, her eyes always fixated straight not showing much emotion other than the smile when she told him she loves him. It was like her wife went from really unhappy to happy but still weird. He passed his days doing his job, coming back to his house playing the sim game on his PC afterwards, his wife was not even bothered about it. One morning they were watching the TV together and she kept saying the same thing over and over again, he knew something was wrong and then he realised almost everyone in his work and other social setting was like that, he realised he has became a character in his own sim game.
I know that there’s one dungeon that I usually skipped (the one where you fall where you could push a block into a button) so I could go get the red staff and then come back and magic a block onto the fucking thing.
Supposedly there was an other floor planned for the water temple you could raise water to but devs scrapped it because they thought it’d be too confuting.
I can’t remember off the top of my head. I did a build years ago that way, I know nerd rage is one of them but if I remember when I get home I’ll try to put together a list of em.
Lol! The awesome thing is that with most of them, it also boosts XP, which is needed because they’re all at the end of tree (think level 95+ for all of em). It wasn’t exactly my type of playthrough, but I had fun with it for a while.
Fun resource management situation from a weird JRPG: Rather than Phoenix downs, each party member has “hearts”. Each time they are KO’d, they lose one heart for the rest of the (short) game. But, at low HP, they have a high chance of critical hits and resist some status effects.
So sometimes playing that risk when you have spare hearts late in the game lets you get a lot of benefit.
I’m just an enthusiastic gamer, raving about some of the games I’ve enjoyed. But I’m sure the developers of this game will be glad to hear that you’re interested.
If they mean AI upscaling, where you take a low resolution image then generate a higher resolution one then sure.
But it will be a while before they have full AI rendering, if ever. AI generation isn’t super precise when it comes to details and for games precision usually matters a lot unless it’s like a narrative game. You probably can’t use an arbitrary but close color for an enemy for example or have health bars look close enough.
I think these games sold the prequel trilogy to me. I don’t think I ever saw SW before playing them, but then watched too see all familiar scenes and characters lol. And, damn, I too remember playing it in coop, on one keyboard… I think now I know what I’d do if I ever retire.
