[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 462059, member: 552"] [b]Re: Not Zelda[/b] Yes... I'd have to say I don't like the total switch to platforming Zelda is taking. I kinda wish they would have focused more on keeping the RP value up above the platform value, but that doesn't seem to be the focus. Ocarina of Time enchanted me (till the ending...), A Link to the Past had me enthralled when I killed Aghanim and reaized it was only 1/3rd of the game, but Majora's mask was disappointingly without plot IMO. There were the usual puzzles, enemies, bosses, weapons and items... without the motivation to get them all for any reason other than "getting them all." Also, I get more game time out of my GBA (though apparently the ROM market really hurts the GBA market by cutting out the purchases) than my gamecube I play the GBA more because the games lend themselves better towards solo play, and exploration. Dragon Warrior and Metroid Prime are fun to play for 15 minutes to explore a new area, and then save and put it away.
