The day American Nintendo millennials realised they were projecting le epic grimdark fantasy onto Ocarina to make up for not having any actually decent games. Leave it to the people who never played Silent Hill to incessantly spam messageboards with wank about how Redeads are the scariest thing ever conceived.

Can't be helped, Nintendo pushed Miyamoto as a god of gaming. Any game that has a hint of Miyamoto involvement is treated like he personally crafted the entire thing single handedly and it will be a flawless masterpiece that will REDEFINE video games as we know it.

>>12490852
The funniest thing about that thread is two separate people are having a bitch fit because the new Mario game is named Sunshine instead of Mario DEATH. Why isnt the new Mario about KILLING SATAN HELL YEAH BROTHER.

I wish I was there when the commercials for Sunshine dropped. It would have destroyed them.

Miyamoto pushed for more realistic look for Wind Waker, during the development he questioned multiple times whether anyone would like that chibi shit, but the dev team wanted to keep it.

>>12491315
I think whatever site that is just bundled all the old userbase posts under 1 legacy account, which explains the name, post count, and creation date being 2011. Plus low reaction score which probably came later to the site after bundling the posts.

>>Start calling Ocarina underrated due to the fact that people who've played more than 1 fucking game don't think it's the best
No way anyone actually does this

>>12495594
Not sure what reality you're from, but FFVII and OoT were both universally hyped around that time. What sort of forums were you even on? There's no way you would have been in a purely Nintendo echo chamber if you were on GameFAQs, Zophar, etc. Did you never read a single gaming magazine, either? Just find this bizarre if it isn't just a pasta. The rich kids I knew had weird shit. 3DO, Jaguar. Or they had everything. The 64 came out almost a year after the PSX, so a lot of families bought one because it was the latest and greatest console, and it had the Sony name attached at a time when it still carried a lot of prestige, especially among non-gamers.

>>12490772
I agree. It was too stupid looking for me to play, then when my kids played it they spent way to much time floating around on a gay boat.

>>12490786
Classic

>>12495594
Most onpoint pasta on this board. American tendies are so deranged

>>12496057
By the pasta's logic they didn't shit their pants over Wind Waker's graphics for nothing since it sold even less than OoT.

Zelda was always considered a good series, but with OoT, the fellating reached extreme levels, especially because of critics
People being obsessed with Zelda plus critics giving the games at least 9.5/10 made the fans believe Zelda games are literally divine perfection and that criticizing them was blasphemy
I was a huge Zeldafag back in the day (still love retro Zelda games), but 8.8 was an accurate score for TP

>>12497971
Twilight Princess may be more polished than Wind Waker, but when you compare it to the other 2 games before it.....Its not gonna look strong.

You coukd argue that OoT is just ALTTP in 3D but thats it. You're taking a game like that and transitioning it into 3D. Meanwhile TP is so attached to being OoT again that its hard not to make comparisons.

>>12497971
8.8 for TP is too high. 7.0 TOPS. I'd give it like a 6 myself

>>12497971
>>12498434
Another big reason for the fan outrage was because Wind Waker, the Zelda game people didn't want, got perfect scores and acclaim. Now here's Twlight Princess, the Zelda game that was made out of obligation to sate the fans, and it's LESS than Wind Waker?

>>12491315

Online gaming culture in the 2000's really would've had you think otherwise.

always avoided /v/, and would stop visiting 4chan altogether for years at a time
some shit's still the same, but the brain drain since I was last around a year or two ago is kinda shocking
I also think I've partially lost the ability to tell the difference between bait and genuine retardation

>>12490772
That game had some issues with the exploration but was overall amazing and looked like a dream. Fuck you.

I actually liked windwaker. The boating and sailing made it feel like a proper adventure.

>>12500645
Possibly my favorite end credits sequence from any game. By far my favorite main theme from any of the Zelda games.

In retrospect:
Xbox posters are GOATed, constantly playing games and talking about their console and creating OC
PS2 posters are ZOATed and also contribute a lot of content, even if console warry they clearly play their box a lot.
GBA posters? Bascially just golden sun and rolled out the red carpet for HHG which is a mess that plagues the entire site.
GC posters well they haven't found their bearings imo they don't really come across like they're putting their best foot forward

do Japanese designers just not have the whole 'gay' thing over there?

i don't know how to word this without sounding like a shitpost. American/European kids get made fun of and beaten up for liking kiddy or 'gay' shit.

this has nothing to do with actual homosexuality (which is fine), but go read this essay or something. it's timeless and transcends culture. why the fuck would you MAKE a Zelda game FOR CHILDREN like this? it's not what kids want, it's going to get them bullied for liking it.

>>12506026
noone on earth got beaten up for playing wind waker.

Japan really doesn't care. Why would you when you walk into anywhere and get bombarded with kawaii shit and raised on a balanced media diet of manly mecha and action stuff, and kawaii stuff, with a hint of Disney?
You have a lot of guys there like the most cutesy shit ever and still like girls, hell, I've seen an honest to god crossdresser still end up having two daughters.
