Use the Sun Song you nub! |
I was just exploring!
Seriously, I don't think I've ever had a fair fight with a ReDead.

I enjoy Oblivion and I must've logged 150 hours on one character (while only beating one questline). But I know what you mean.
Even in The WInd Waker I had fun doing the same stuff as in OOT. Too bad 90% was water. |
I played that whole game with the sound muted and my own music blasting. Sailing wasn't so bad when it was to De Futura.

Yeah, I would do stuff like that too. Open-ended gameplay, back before the term was raped to just mean that a game has two different endings.

It didn't even need to be a sidequest. I could make my own fun, whether it was exploring, roleplaying, cliffdiving...

That's one of my favorite aspects of it. You can always find a horse race or a mask trade or some poes to catch or a sword to acquire when you get bored. Twilight Princess really, really, REALLY lacked in the sidequest department. As far as I can tell, the only "sidequest" was donating a total of 1000 rupees to some goron so that he could open up a shop.

I stopped doing temples after I got stuck in the Fire Temple and just did every side quest I could. I found so much to do in that game, even if I wasn't doing anything story-related.

The Shadow Temple is like the Bottom of the Well only creepier and twice as long.
The boss was really really easy, but I guess the Biggoron Sword kinda does that to things.

I did the Bottom of the Well a couple months ago. I walked into the Shadow Temple, heard the music, and promptly saved and quit.

The Shadow Temple was the one that really got to me. That was CREEPY, with all the invisible guillotines and spiders and fake walls and stuff.

I did the Forest Temple when I was smaller, and it was pretty creepy. Then, I walked into a room and Navi told me "There's a monster that lives on the ceiling."
Wait, what? There's a monster on the ceiling?
It took so much courage to run out of the doorway of that room.

^Sun Song freezes up the ReDeads, then you just bomb em or slice em to pieces.

/\ press B, itll skip the whole conversation
Ocarina was epic, and its music was some of the best music to ever come out of any video game
I remember being genuinely terrified of the Forest, Spirit, and Shadow Temples
f**king Wall Masters
that's such a scary concept to a kid
you're walking around
and BAM
giant hand from the sky lands on you and sucks you to oblivion (which leads to the entrance but still)
oh and ReDeads
*shudder*

First off, Zelda games are fab, mostly because of the music.
I'm a sucker for the Game Boy ones, maybe because that's what I grew up on, but they are completely different than the other ones...
Wind Waker is great though. The graphics are hilarious but not THAT horrible. Too much sailing, but my I'll vote for that.
Last time I checked, I was a little stuck in Ocarina. Also, I wish the stupid owl would just shut up.
