I MUCH prefer the dark theme, I never use the light. Ever.

Meh, I had to change back, especially since my joke in the DW thread was over. :P

I just have a hard time keeping an avatar other than a sock one for too long!

Lol, I know, right? It's strange to not have the sock. I've been tempted to change back, but I don't know. It's kind of nice to have a change too.

YES! This is going to be awesome!!

While i refuse to drop out/go idle, I will be very busy in the coming weeks, so expect like an MP-sized post a day with informed opinion, but not sure how much more i will be able to add to the game.

Hell to the yes.

Just one more.

Do it.

Unlike a lot of people who view that game as the "dark horse" of the series, I've never thought it was a bad game- just hard as balls.

I'm not sure I would say it's bad either, but yeah... I don't play it because I get frustrated.

Why don't you go recruit some people or something?

I've been trying. Not a whole lot of luck, obviously.

Ocarina is classic and a close second, I just really loved the unique atmosphere, characters, and storyline of Majora's Mask.

Both are must-plays, for sure.

I had the chance to buy Majora's Mask really cheap many years ago but didn't take the opportunity to my eternal regret. £5 it was.

Damn, that would have been sweet! I wonder what it goes for now, after all these years.

Also, I realized I asked everyone else their favorite Zelda game and didn't present mine.

Majora's Mask for life.

Found this really cool article discussing preferences of Zelda fans, thought it was relevant here.

You should definitely play, TH!

I'm really starting to itch for this game to start, let's try to round up the last four!

How dare you demand things like this of me?? And in my first game back, too. :humph:

By the way, MP, there needs to be a :humph: emoji. Get on that and fix my post, please.

I have never played a Zelda game, sadly! I keep hearing that they're one of the best game series of all time, and I love me some N64 adventure platformers. (Donkey Kong 64, anyone?) Just missed out on this one somehow, I guess.

I'll fix it once you've fixed not having played Ocarina of Time.

Watch Mojo named Ocarina of Time best game of all time.

For good reason!

The only issue I really had with it was the tediousness of finding those damned maps in the end, paying up the butt to Tingle, and then going back out to find the danged Triforce pieces. I remember Ganon was hard as hell to beat the first time I played it (it took me several tries) but super fun. Loved the combat mechanics in that game, and I'm glad they've continued to provide and improve on that in the later 3D games I've played.

I love how dark Twilight Princess is, and even though she's not particularly helpful with bad guys, Midna is definitely my favorite sidekick (I do love sass when it's not directed at me ) Skyward Sword was also an incredible game. There are parts of it that scare the bejeezus out of me because I'm a wimp (this is why I won't play the aforementioned Bioshock. I could barely watch Epi and son play it :P )

Might buy a 3DS with some bonus money this year, might not. But I really wanna play A Link Between Worlds, because...why wouldn't I? I hear it's excellent. Anyone played it?

Yeah, agreed on the sailing, haha. But still underrated overall.

I haven't played A Link Between Worlds, but I've heard the same.

Also, you MUST play Bioshock. Seriously. And I am squeamish as hell and jump throughout playing it, but it's the best.

The only Zelda game I ever played was the very first one that ever came out back in the day. No one ask me what day that was.

Welcome to The Syndicate! Hope you like it here!

So glad to have you!

Ocarina of Time is a classic for every reason. What a fantastic game.

Wind Waker was underrated, IMO.

And yeah, if it's for the Wii it's either Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Totally awesome.

I grew up with the N64, so Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask were important entries into my childhood. My brother and I, when we were little, would watch my father play the former more so, during Christmas break. So much fun. As my brother grew older, he started to get into the games himself. I always thought they were super neat, but I was always more of a Mario and other games kind of guy, though I still have a soft spot for Zelda. But my brother has played all of the proper entries since Ocarina of Time (he's too young to appreciate the NES and SNES properly, sadly), many good memories watching him play and such. Wind Waker had its drawbacks, but still loved that one. Skyward Sword seemed amazing, I didn't get to spectate as much of that one as I'd have liked though, since by the time that one came out my life was way busier.

I just always had a hard time with the puzzle aspects, and always found my video game strongpoints to be elsewhere, but I have a deep respect for the Zelda series nonetheless.

I didn't grow up with a video game system (except atari), so I never got to enjoy them as a kid. However, I bought a nintendo along with the games later in life and have enjoyed them immensely. They are easily my favorite N64 games, and possible my favorite video games ever. It's too bad I lent my N64 to a friend last spring, and she disappeared of the face of the earth with it.

Wow, that sucks.

Nice! Which one is your favorite?

MovingPictures07 wrote:Also, just to start game-related conversation and out of curiosity: Which Zelda games has everyone here played, if any?

Just the two on the Nintendo 64 platform: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

Both awesome and my personal two favorites. But I haven't played them all, only spectated a good amount of them, and played a few myself (didn't necessarily beat them either).

More on this in response to Blooper.

I have played the The Legend of Zelda, Link's Awakening, and A Link to the Past. Nijuu was kind enough to let me borrow The Ocarina of Time, which she assures me is a must play.

I said the same thing to her about Bioshock, but she won't touch that with a ten foot ADAM needle.

It absolutely is a must-play.

And as is Bioshock. I can vouch for that. My favorite video game of all time... and I'm not much for shooters AND I'm squeamish. So if that isn't an amazing sell that one must play it, I don't know what is.

You don't even know what you've done.

I've played all except Zelda II (wasn't really interested in the side-scrolling weirdness), Four Swords (or anything holding that name), and any DS game due to my lack of funds to purchase said DS (I don't count the awful CD-i atrocities as actual games, and neither should anyone else. Yeah, I said it). My brothers used to play the shit outta A Link to the Past but I didn't get into it until much later when I fell in love with Ocarina of Time. Like, obsessively in love. Like, separation anxiety from letting Epi borrow my special disc with the game on it that I got for some promotion.

(It's okay, Bobby Brown - I still have the N64 version. I'll survive, and you need to play this game.)

Of all the geekdoms that ever graced the Earth to geek, Zelda is my absolute favorite. I will talk about that awesomeness all. Day. Long.

Totally awesome.

Yeah, I am excited too! Let's get this game going. We only need 6 more people!

Definitely in.
