Dark link and that whole setting is absolutely stunning. That was the only highlight for me in the water temple.
But the n64 version.. Equip iron boots.
Unequip iron boots. Equip iron boots.
Unequip iron boots. Equip iron boots.
Unequip iron boots.
Hit save button and scream into your pillow.

I emulated the 3DS version which I think is slightly faster? It's the kind of temple that has a cool concept in theory, but it's just so much admin that it becomes frustrating.

I wonder how the new remake will do it

Same here. Hope it’s good. Never played any new ones except breath of wild which I despise and I truly wish I can ban and destroy that game. I hate it with such a primal feeling.

I digress,
I hope the remake sticks exactly to same dialogue and same npc routines

I'm a little scared to ask, but what did you dislike about BOTW? :')

Personally I didn't like that it didn't have any major unique dungeons. The divine beasts were all very similar, and not much more than big shrines. I'd rather have discrete, themed dungeons.

Yeah I'd agree that the divine beasts were a bit of let down compared to your classic Zelda dungeon. Some fun ideas, but they all felt a bit hollow.

Am I like the only one who didn't hate it? I remember I beat it as a kid, but don't remember hating it. I remember the shadow link fight being harder than the puzzle.

It was a bit confusing at a certain point, but it wasn't that bad.

It was so barren. Felt lonely and so..uninviting.
I played red dead 2 and wow.

That game is a masterpiece. Same as ocarina of time in my opinion

Yes it was quite empty in that sense, but I thought that made the populated areas feel all the more welcoming. I feel like in a way, the barrenness was what they were going for; a desolate Hyrule close to destruction where a few survivors were clinging on. Personally I didn't see how it's all that different from OOT or TP which had big open sections mostly filled with enemies. I suppose the scale is different in the case of BOTW? TP felt a lot more bleak imo.

For anyone else who is lazy
