Nintendo has always been about pretty vibrant colors, and worlds that make you feel like your on drugs, I've never managed to be immersed on the gloomy side, or dare I say it the fear side of my brain when it came to Nintendo games. Hell there wasn't even much that made me feel (dare I say it) Manly or God like :D
They did have two series however that broke that mold for me, Metroid, and Zelda. Long story short, Metroid is dead to me.
Leaving Zelda... Ocarina of time delivered everything I could have wanted out of a Zelda series and more :P I got awesome looking gear, I got to be an adult friggin link!!!! And some of those dungeons were creepy as hell :P The falling hand that looked friggin gnarly, the webs everywhere, the way the ghosts creeped in and such, just a great, fantastic, immersible world that touched on more points than Nintendo games usually do, it was Nintendo's hail Marry for keeping me as a gamer.
But man, the moment majora's mask came out >_>; I tried playing it... it was ok... then I found out I couldn't be an adult, and yes, as soon as I found out, game over. The best thing I loved about ocarina of time (the fact that link grew up with me :3 ), had vanished... but it's ok!!! Maybe Nintendo had learned from they're critical mistake!!! The truth... however... was mortifying. Nintendo had not only blown past a critical element, but now, they took the dark side of the game, the portions of the game I grew to love, and they CELL SHADED THEM WITH COMICAL EXPRESSIONS. HOW DARE THEY!!!! Now I get to fight cartoons!!! and my bombs blow up with RAINBOW COLORS!!!!! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY ZELDA GAME.... NOOOOOOO.... NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! The damage was set in stone... That game was sheer rubish in all shapes and sizes in my brain ESP considering the video that was going around the web showing off the Gamecube's take on an adult link... I was destroyed... They butchered poor link and I can't pretend that it doesn't exist ;-; I tried... but the memories... they haunt me...
I hope they bury that style of Zelda, and make a Non first person shooter that can take me back to those creepy moments that left me on my toes while exploring a dungeon... Twilight princess helps... but I need more... I need reassurance... I need more Nintendo games that feel for guys like me...
