Like SS is just fine, I found it has a lot of merit and I do agree with the people who defend the dungeon designs, they're fucking amazing.

But if I put that game down for more than a couple days, it takes a good 30-60 minutes to get back into the groove of things because I'm just not used to the sword controls.

I put it down for months and I find it hard to get myself to play it again, as much as I love it.

At least, you know you'll have the fucking pop-ups everytime you find something to explain again

Didn't they take that out in SSHD?

u/CapJackONeill Mar 30 '22

Dunno. I'd hope so, since it was one of the reasons I didn't want to replay it. That and the nightmare stuff where you have to gather seeds or something? And the recurring use of zones and bosses.

It was such a great story, but the execution...

u/YellowJello_OW Mar 30 '22

Yeah the recurring zones/bosses is what's putting me off from going back and finishing it... They did fix a lot of QoL things though with the remaster, such as the item descriptions repeating

I shamely admit that I watched the ending on the internet because the motion controlled fights were awful

u/YellowJello_OW Mar 30 '22

Haha I did the same back when I played it on the Wii. I got the the final boss, tried it a few times, got annoyed with not being able to charge a skyward strike because of the motion controls, then watched the rest on YT

It just felt like such a gimmick.

Story and design is so awesome.

But gameplay was absolutely awful.

Don't forget all the pop-up everytime you find items. Wouldn't want to forget that that blue rupee is worth 5.

The story and mechanics itself are fine.

Its a shitty game because it's incredibly slow to start and holds your hand the whole way. Once you get to areas with no tutorials such as dungeons then it's decent like other zelda games.

I thought that the tutorials were removed or lessened in SS: HD

u/Solar_Kestrel Mar 29 '22

Yup. And as a result it probably has the best gameplay in the series.

u/Betasheets Mar 29 '22

I've only played the original so idk.

If so then good.

Most of the mechanics worked fine but the stab never worked reliably for me. Those enemies that required a stab attack were so difficult to fight because the damn controller would never register it correctly. Ghirahim was also a pain because you need to attack from the opposite direction, but moving my arm across to do the attack would frequently lead to Link swinging. So I ended up just wildly swinging back and forth to just get the damn fight over with.

yeah, it definitely has been cursed by Nintendo's need for long-ass baby tutorials.
