It worked really well in Majora's Mask by being combined with a platforming section.

Shit, I just said something positive about Majora's Mask. I feel dirty.

How is it testing your patience? Once you move the first block, you know what to expect. There are a limited amount of blocks in the room and a limited amount of directions to push them. It takes like 30 seconds to figure out which block is the right one to move. 99% of the time the rooms are not empty. The blocks are at the point of the rooms. You usually have cleared a rooma very difficult enemies, and the last thing to do is to move a block.

And just because I am suggesting that puzzles be taken out of Zelda games, doesn't mean that dungeons should just be rooms where you move blocks.

I agree. A customizable character wardrobe would be awesome for this game!

1. That's never really bothered me because hero mode doesn't really reward players for cutting grass. But I wouldn't really care if they took it out, since I try to use potions for Heath anyway.

2. It's another thing he never really minded, because I don't really Die in the games. Are usually just continue playing with the lower health until I naturally gain it back. But I wouldn't care if what you suggested came to fruition in the new Zelda game.

3. I agree completely! I love collecting map pieces in wind Waker. I hope there is something similar in this one.

4. I actually think the sword play and when Waker was fine. Same with twilight Princess. I hated the store play in skyward sword. My issue isn't with how the combat feels, but more with how the enemies are designed. I love the variety, but I hate how simple they act. And have nonaggressive they are. If they can expand upon the combat in twilight Princess, while making the enemies tougher, they could have something great.

5. That would make me so grumpy... Because I would know it was all your fault lol.

It's a pointless room. They do not all have enemies in them, I only remember a few being filled with darknuts but it really doesn't matter. You can just ignore them and go for the stairs anyway, in which case there might as well be no enemies and no blocks at all.

Like many very old games, Zelda 1 is designed to slow the player down in ways that don't add difficulty. Like forcing them to spend 30 seconds pushing random blocks until they find the right one... 11 times in a single dungeon... or like, upon death, returning them to the start of the dungeon they're in with only 3 hearts -- late in the game, this is a death sentence. Time to leave the dungeon and take a detour to the fairy pond. Or by making rupee drops extremely scarce and mostly one at a time (ocassionally five), while most of the secrets hidden in the overworld are old men who will take your rupees or play random-guess minigames that will also take your rupees, meanwhile when you actually find a great secret, instead of being rewarded for finding it by receiving a great item, your reward is the ability to purchase that item for 250 rupees, literally 98% of your wallet capacity. The rupee grind in Zelda 1 is so ridiculous, it's far worse than the experience grind in Zelda II and yet people complain about that.

This game is absolutely terrible. If a modern Zelda game was released with any of this bullshit people would tear it apart. Hell, Skyward Sword got shit for having a couple of recurring boss fights that play out completely differently each time. Meanwhile people can't stop drooling over original Zelda which reused the same stupid room gimmick 16 times.

And as I said, Zelda has very few puzzles to begin with. It is now and always has been an adventure game. You know, use bomb on wall. Use candle on tree. Use raft on water. These weren't puzzles 30 years ago and they aren't suddenly puzzles now just because it's a whip instead of a bomb and you're using it on a lever instead of a wall. You are playing an adventure game, exploring the game world by interacting with it. If you remove the action from Zelda you get a game that has more in common with Grim Fandango than with Tetris.

Zelda 1 is just a shitty adventure game, but it is an adventure game nonetheless.

1. But hearts aren't the only thing you get from grass. More importantly, I don't want rupees to be obtained from cutting grass. Don't reward the player for turning the game into lawnmower simulator 2015.

4. If you liked Wind Waker's combat but feel that Skyward Sword enemies weren't aggressive enough I don't even know how to handle that. Wind Waker enemies hardly ever attack. Every fight comes down to mashing B, or waiting for them to take a single swing at you so you can press the big glowing counter button. Skyward Sword is practically exactly the same thing, except if you mash sword attacks you'll be punished and instead of a big glowing counter button you actually have to think for one second about which attack would work the best. So I guess what I meant to say is that it's the complete opposite of Wind Waker combat, in that Wind Waker combat is shit while Skyward Sword's is good -- not great, but good. And the enemies in Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are much, much simpler than in Skyward Sword. Also the shield was practically useless until Skyward Sword.

 You are greatly exaggerated. If you're moving blocks to open doors 11 times in a single dungeon, that's 5 1/2 minutes wasted in one dungeon. That's it. You'll be in that dungeon for a much larger amount of time if it's your first time through. That time sink is inconsequential. 

The game is still amazing. That doesn't mean that it perfectly holds up today, but it still plays better than some of the most modern Zelda games. Zelda has plenty of puzzles now. Don't pretend that all the puzzles in modern Zeldas are simply "Pulling a lever with a weapon" because they aren't. They are an integral dungeon element now, and you won't find a single dungeon in modern Zelda games without many of them. Zelda may not be a puzzle game, but it's dungeons have way too many. The dungeons should be testing your combat skills, not your cranial ones. And not your ability to pull a lever.

I wouldn't mind three or so separate and fully dedicated "temple" that were focused on extremely tough and intricate puzzle design throughout, but leave puzzles out of the eight or so standard dungeons.

It would be cool if you could change different aspects of Link in the beginning, kind of like Skyrim but less extensive. It would also be nice if, by your choices, you could make different relationships with people to change the situations you're in and outcome. Like you could choose to strengthen your friendship with someone but that would make someone else dislike you, idk, that wasn't a very good example but that's the basics of what I mean.

I'd like to see items other than the arrows, bombs and the hookshot get used more often in combat, make the intro segment shorter, keep the Run button (but no stamina meter) and shield system from skyward sword, make enemies more aggressive and if you die you come back with half of your hearts.

You misunderstand. I like the Wind Waker's combat from a control perspective. I hate skyward sword combat from a control perspective. The enemies in both wind Waker and skyward sword are designed poorly. Skyward sword hadmuch worse enemy design though.any complexity in skyward sword combat was artificial. They were very few enemies in skyward sword that you couldn't just flail your arms about to win, And anyone who didn't came down to this fruit ninja directional slash. The difference is that Wind Waker actually felt good to play, while skyward sword was a mess. The original Zelda had just one jab input, and had better combat than skyward sword. And the shield mechanics were never poor in Zelda until skyward sword. Destructible Sheilds have no place in the Zelda. Find a better way to punish players who abuse shield immunity.
