A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

No memes please.

The 3DS port of Ocarina of Time. Was pretty magical at the time having a handheld that could do 3D graphics as well as it could. Paired with being an excellent game with lots of charm and atmosphere already made it a great experience. Pretty cool with the 3D screen too, made it feel that much more immersive.

I had never played a Zelda game (or even any nintendo game except wii sports and mario kart wii) 3 years ago. Decided to try ocarina of time 3d on an emulator and got hooked. I still need to play majora's mask and skyward sword of the 3D games and I have a few 2d Zeldas left but overall it has been a great experience and awesome journey, and I have also branched out and played all metroid and 3d Mario games and consider myself a Nintendo fan now.

Edit: this post has actually inspired me to boot up a link to the past and give it another chance and I realised part of why I didn't get into it originally was the input lag that can rather easily be mitigated in retroarch. Having a great time

  1. It was a weird learning experience for a kid that couldn't read English and had never played anything with rpg'ish elements.

I think i just wanted to play the first one because of the theme song. Somehow expected that the second one would have it too.

To be fair, 2 isn't that much easier to understand even if you do know English.

True.

I've been recently playing Tunic. It almost mirrors my experience except that i didn't have a manual at all. Tunic uses weird language with random english words, i only had a small dictionary for zelda 2 that would accomplish just that.

Just googled the Zelda 2 manual. I can see where the Tunic inspiration comes from https://i.imgur.com/OzVTVkK.png
