I don't really see how that first paragraph proves anything, because even if they're boring, searching for them still beats just buying them and be done with it. If you like Metroid, you should like the exploration ALttP gives you in this regard. That wasn't the problem in Link's Awakening, which had dungeons as big and varied as ever. It also worked perfectly well as a handheld game. A Link Between Worlds is nowhere near as good as that game though, but then again neither is A Link to the Past. I agree on the last paragraph, though that still didn't make it a better game than ALttP. |
The exploration is not interesting in a world without atmosphere and interesting "powerups".
You forget that ALBW had 4 Master ores, Hylian shield, magic scroll upgrade, two suit upgrades and upgrades to the items you buy/rent. That's 108 things to collect.
Much more and useful than ALTTP. That made exploration interesting for me...
