Got the bad and the Chaos endings, and am very close to the Law ending in SMT IV. Once again, I hate the Law route because Jonathan is a dunce, but Chaos wasn't perfect either. Still, I'm really liking most of the new demon designs, and the music is fantastic.

The world map is by far my least favorite part of the game. It's just awful to navigate, and it takes forever to get anywhere, even if I've been there before.

Link to the Past > Link's Awakening > Adventure of Link > Wind Waker > Twilight Princess > Everything else with OoT and MM at the end.

If they remade LA with LttP's controls, it would definitely be my favourite. Having to switch around items all the time hurts the experience, but the game is fun otherwise. Also, Skyward Sword and the Oracle games were not included because I am still playing the former and the latter are not fresh in my mind. So far Skyward Sword is looking to rank below Twilight Princess and ahead of the DS misfits.

I recently picked up Cave Story off the 3DS eShop. I missed this one because I didn't know there was a version for the 3DS that was neither Cave Story 3D (retail game) or the version on the DSi store. This is a great upgrade over the DSi version, making use of 3D layering and the wider screen, as well as the lower screen for inventory and whatnot. Most importantly, they had the decency to have the option of setting B to jump... which is ergonomically the most intelligent design decision.

It is the same reason I never bought Kirby Super Star Deluxe. Like seriously... even its original game had B to jump Why would you change it!? Don't you know how the thumb has to roll if you want to attack while jumping? Masahiro Sakurai would have never allowed for that.

In KSSD though, the B button is to attack instead not Y. I personally prefer this control scheme. ... Maybe its because of the Megaman Zero games >_>

Also:
A Link to the Past > The Legend of Zelda (The very first one) > Wind Waker > Twilight Princess > Majora's Mask > Ocarina of Time

Out of the ones I played, and finished.

Never finished Skyward Sword, even though it has IMO, the best art direction in the series, the controls really killed the game for me.

[Drathi]

I think probably my main reason for loving Majora's Mask out of all the games is because of the Bunny Hood. xD It's the only game I can go the whole time wearing it, the moment I get it.

I would kill to own a Bunny Hood IRL. XD

^ Zelda's Adventure is the prettiest Zelda.

After coming out from under my rock, I discovered Wii Motion Plus is built into newer Wii Remotes, so I picked one up. Played Skyward Sword sans Wii Tumor Plus and it made a really big difference for me. @~@ I grasp it from closer to the end since it grants more wrist control, and that thing kind of makes it awkward.

Went to play OoT and the idea of trudging through it annoyed me ... and somehow I ended up throwing in SS. ...Only to realize much to my annoyance that I have not been charging my Wiimote (cuz I've only used it to turn on the system and then I play with the GC controller) and I actually had to hunt down my Wiimotion-mote. So, yeah... absolutely dead....

I just walked away to watch an hour's worth of tv and took my shower. Maybe now there's a bit of a charge and I can change out the batteries between the motes if I need to.

Since I have no bloody f-ing clue where I was or what the storyline is (other than the bare bones basics) I just restarted.

...Holy shit, that damn bird chase at the beginning is a lot easier when you know what the fuck you're doing and how to control the bird - something I was afraid I didn't remember but it came rushing back pretty quickly.

This time ^_^ It was actually fun.... unlike the first time when I wanted to rage quit but only kept going cuz it was like "omg... new Zelda game and I'm not even 15 mins in and I already want to hate it! THIS CAN'T BE!"

@Hong: I'm glad that you're getting a better feel for the controls. I have the special that came with the game so I've never played with the "tumor" version. I actually never had a problem with the controls in the game and found it a bit of a delight to fight - once I learned that I didn't have to snap my wrist so much when using my sword XD

I have a lot of reasons that I hate SS but sitting down and playing it, I do remember that I have a lot of reasons that I enjoyed the game. Still doesn't change where I put it on my Zelda Likes list, but a bit of the thorn dissolved... I hope it doesn't return.

Dragon's Dogma. So yeah, I'm a Magick Archer again. Now I can kill those annoying ghosts, thank god.

...

But now I can't kill Golems... well I can but the damage I deal to them is pitiful since my Strength stat is so bad. Man... win some, lose some. It worse with Golems though since Pawns are too stupid to attack the obvious glowing weakpoints T_T


Also beat the Battle Squares in Icewond Dale II! I never want to see another Remorhaz again. They are way too common in the higher levels... and are the only that have some form of chance against me.
