That was beat what I think is one of the hardest Zelda games of all time.

Zelda II

I could set for hours and never beat that game for years, eventually I got fed up with it and cheated a little bit by using some online dungeon maps for the great palace and that stupid left corner technique to beat dark link.

The only other 2 console games I never beat was Majoras Mask and Wind Waker, I was close to beating Wind Waker one point and I stopped playing and never resumed it, losing its save data at some point, Majoras Mask just drove me up the wall to the point of not calling it a real Zelda game.


praises?
 
I was going to praise you, because beating Zelda II has been a dream of mine as well...


... but then I saw you diss Majora's Mask. You must replay it till you realize the beauty and masterpiece of it. Then you shall re-receive my praise.
 
I just dont like Time themed games like that, especially one I am certain you will need a guide for.

most video footage I have seen of MM looked like their was hardly any fighting in it.

This statement leads me to think you have never even played it before. How can you say you don't like a game when you haven't even played it?
 
I bought MM on the N64 and played it, spent most of the time lost, I never attempted to play it ever again. Their was very little fighting for me in it. I didnt get too far into it though, to me while Zelda games is a good puzzle challenge, that was overboard and to me just unoriginal for a Zelda game. It was also rushed, meaning it took less than 5 years to produce, if you dont spend at least 6 on a Zelda game, history shows its not that great, exception might be Wind Waker though, but it ended up being something different than what people were asking for.

Rushed?
Windwaker took 4 years to develop (1999-2003)
Twilight princess took 3 years to develop (2003-2006)
Skyward sword took 3 years to develop (2008-2011)

Point is - games VERY rarely take more than 4 years to develop.
 
Where was the time to developed pulled from?

I know Windwaker took less time, but I thought TP was being worked on at the same time Windwaker was but at a slow pace, same with Skyward sword which I thought was being worked on since 2006.

I know they are working on the Zelda game for Wii-U as we speak.

What? Majora's Mask unoriginal? Have you played the same game we have? The Transformation masks were the most original thing (at that point in time) added to a Zelda game.

And in reality, if you play through the game now, and read everything the characters say, it's pretty hard to get lost.
 
Nintendo has yet to Confirm Working on a Zelda Wii-U title, they have only hinted at it. The Display shown at the wii-u's reveal was only a Tech Demo
 
Nintendo as well as alot of other developers work on some games for a good while but their is not very much man power put into it until it is the main focus of the company. Like Kid Icarus Uprising for 3DS as a prime example.

Twilight Princess was most likely worked on before the WW release but was not a main focus, same for Skyward Sword.

While it is correct that it dont take more than 4 years to develop a game most of the time, a rough draft is often made and in not very focused on development. Sometimes they end up being scratched but then you see something of it implemented into that game or another game completely years later.
 
I think you are judging a game even years after you apparently last played it. The truth is, opinions of games can change. You are judging the game based on your experiences way back when.

You have yet to prove any points other than show everyone that you don't quite understand what a true Zelda experience is. Now if you played it within the past few months with an actual attempt to play the game instead of swinging a sword going going "argh i cut you all, where the bosses", then maybe I can respect any of your opinions.

Unoriginal? Ha. As Golbat said, the masks made this game stand out. It was the first game in the line to actually give meaning and use to the mask. Majora's Mask may be one of the best Zelda games. Maybe it wasn't as big as the others, but the puzzles were up to par, maybe even surpassing puzzles in the previous games. I remember trying to figure out Ikana Canyon. The whole dang thing. But I enjoyed every minute of it.

Getting lost if you are paying attention is pretty impossible. You know where you need to go and it's not hard to find out how to get there.

You clearly show your gaming immaturity by continuing to judge a game by your experiences years ago. It would be like looking at Wind Waker and saying it is a crappy game because of how it looks.
 
my game maturity is higher than anyone here I would imagine.

if Majoras Mask was suppose to be so good, the theme of it would of found a way into future games which it didnt, Skyward Sword which is prequel to OOT does not even have ANYTHING similar to what was in MM which is a sequel to OOT. Like the Mask being the biggest example.

Most elite and some HC gamers will tell you time based games are a real drag, this doesnt mean a classic like Mario is bad. It be quite interesting to see what the AVGN would say about MM as hes pretty truthful in his reviews.

I was playing Zelda games on NES, SNES, OOT on N64, Gameboy, before Majoras Mask even came out.

Wind Waker while it has a cartoon look, is probably better than Twilight Princess, and TP is what Zelda fans thrived for in a Zelda game graphic wise.

So you played the old Zelda games before MM came out? Big woop. What's your point? Does the cartridge turn itself to less enjoyable mode if it detects the person playing is under the age of 20 or something? No? Then it doesn't matter.

Also, the first bolded statement amused me, compared to the rest of the stuff I bolded.
 
When I write on the internet, I do not care to be grammatically correct.

If I were to write a novel or English essay, then perhaps.
 
The reason the themes from Majora's Mask didn't carry over into other games was because Majora's Mask didn't occur in Hyrule, like almost every other game has (except for the Oracle games, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and Link's Awakeing), and no other game has visited Termina since.

You seem to have a very powerful imagination--that's all it may be, everything considered. How does one define "game maturity" anyway?

Majora's Mask is praised for its uniqueness and originality in game design--especially towards story. Frankly, I feel like in a series such as the Legend of Zelda, where each game tries to bring something new to the table, it would be VERY immature to push Majora's Mask content into a new storyline. Not to mention Skyward Sword is, as you said a prequel. It's not based on Majora's Mask (plot-wise) but the other way around.

Why are the opinions of elite and hardcore gamers anymore relevant than anyone elses? More importantly, could you list off some of these gamers. The concept of proof is one that's considerably beneficial when stating baseless "facts".

And?

Wind Waker while it has a cartoon look, is probably better than Twilight Princess, and TP is what Zelda fans thrived for in a Zelda game graphic wise.

"probably better" -- how?
 
Masks in OoT did nothing worth-while. The most entertaining things you could do was getting random facts from Gossip Stones.

The fact you played on older systems means ONLY one thing. It means you played on those systems.

And I still see you not supporting yourself.

And reviewers don't know jack squat. IGN gave MW3 a higher review than Skywards Sword because Skyward Sword was not as original as MW3 is. Reviews mean absolutely nothing.
