Early in my quest for N64 games, I'm playing my first Zelda game. It's so great it reminds me of how astonished I was playing KotOR for the first time a decade after its release. Apparently great games don't age.
But my, how did people beat games like Zelda without Google? Some shit you can only figure out by chance apparently unless you're reading a guide.

Nintendo power, strategy guides, playground at school, or arcades. Or a lot of trial and error/hours of searching.

Its fun on minimalist mode (only three hearts, no wallet/inventory expansions, including bottles)

Some shit you can only figure out by chance apparently unless you're reading a guide.[/quote] I hope you're talking about the original Zelda, because OoT wasn't that hard; save for the water palace. In the original, you did stuff like reading the instruction book, paying attention to npc text, and talking with friends who shared their own discoveries. Kinda like playing Dark Souls today, minus the instruction book because they don't help much anymore.

Beat it, definitely possible without a guide. Used guide second time through. I think I was 14, man what a good game indeed.

Buy a Wii and the Metroid Prime Trilogy. You're welcome.

KOTOR stills holds up on the iPad only thing is the controls are a bit clunky.

Edited by a clumsy scrub: 2/16/2016 12:40:53 AMI couldnt beat the water temple. I could do [b]everything[/b] else, but not that stupid water temple. I had probably 25+ saves throughout my life, and only beat the water temple myself [b][i]ONE TIME[/i][/b]. Every other time, I had a friend do it for me, or I used google. Such an amazing game. I actually kind of regret using google. When Im 25 (~4 years) or so, I might bust out the old nintendo 64 and beat the game again without help.

Patience and anger.

I've been meaning to replay OoT for a while now. I remember beating it several times on both the N64, and GameCube. I'm looking forward to seeing how much I remember of it.

There's just so much to The Legend of Zelda, I've played OoT like literally 25 times and i still find new stuff. Still can't believe some people says its for kids... like, did you even play majoras mask? Not a kids game. Haha

Back in the day you went to GameStop and you would buy the guides to games, they were little magazines, I still have all mine from N64 to GameCube games.
