For fuck sakes, even Legend of Zelda has been simplified ever since the N64.  You use the "Action" button to do most of the stuff in the game.  Jumping is automatic.  You don't need to use every single button.  And with all that simplicity, Ocarina of Time is still considered the pinnacle of the series.  Wind Waker is still powerfully loved by Nintendo fans--and that was the easiest damn Zelda title ever made!

Your post is amusing but this part makes me wonder if you played Link to the Past or any Zelda game before that.

 

 

 

Seeing as how I only grew up with Zelda, and the original was the first game I ever beat (and one of the first I ever owned after I bought my NES with my own hard-saved allowance money)--I have played all previous iterations*.  Zelda was never all that complicated when it came to gameplay.  My point was more along the line that even when they upgraded to the N64, the controls were kept simple and streamlined so anyone could do it.  The only Zeldas I don't have are the last three major adventures because, let's face it, the series has needed an overhaul for a long damn time.  I'm not at all worried about the shake-up they'll no doubt give the next Zelda game.  I just hope they do enough to drop Gannondorf/Ganon for a while to make the story as original as the gameplay will no doubt be.

I'm so sick of that guy.

Ridley too.  I'm goddamn sick of seeing Ridley show up in every single Metroid game.  How many fucking times can one guy die?!  No, this isn't funny anymore!  No more Ridley!  No more Metroid stories cluttered between Metroid I and Metroid II! 

 

 

*I own and have finished all normal Zelda games prior to Minish Cap, with the exception of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link--which I never liked.  By "normal," I'm not including lame CD-i games or the multiplayer-focused Four Swords fiascos.  I still have my original gold cartridge NES Legend of Zelda, though the Game Genie long ago fried the internal memory.  Those damn thing should've come with warnings about using them with games with internal game-save batteries.  Lost an entire Base Wars season to that thing, too. Also, my old-school leanings can be easily shown by the either my game collection or my avatar--which is my copy of ET that I bought a few months back for a laugh.  It's sitting on my original, still operating after 17+ years, NES.
