Yeah, we've reached the point where 3D graphics with a top-down view are better than sprites no matter what...

Look at Age of Empires III

Anyway, I'm totally fine with the handheld Zelda's being top down and the consoles being behind the back... since both rule.

That's abit arrogant of you to say, 2D Zelda's are as good as their 3D counterparts. It's Old school and that's how it all started.

2D is far from inferior and still holds so much potential.

It was not that I disliked 2D zelda they are great (espesially 4 swords) my point was that if you desperatly want a 3D game and you start a 2D game with a similer genre then you will get no enjoyment out of that 2D. My example Harvest Moon AWL 2, sim farm. Mario 128, Mario advance (1,2 or 3) They are just not the same are they. No point. Links awakening is good. (so is A Link to the Past) and Four swords.

i actually havn't picked up minish cap yet. i did play through the first two bosses. and decided that the game wasn't special enough for me to pay full price. i'm going to wait a few years and pick it up cheap. i would LOVE to see the shrinking / minish theme in a 3d game. allthough i'm not sure an entire game based on shrinking and growing would be cool, it could at least play a role in one dungeon and a few other areas.

3d zelda kicks the pants off of 2d zelda. stop being nostalgic.

"3d zelda kicks the pants off of 2d zelda. stop being nostalgic."

LttP is still the best Zelda yet, and OoT is laughably bad. Stop being shallow.

3D Malon is hAWTer than 3D Zelda.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #884 on:** April 09, 2005, 12:16:30 PM »

Wait, are we talking about Zelda the game or Zelda the character?
If game: Link's Awakening is best Zelda ever, and it's 2D.
If character: Wind Waker Zelda wins.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #885 on:** April 09, 2005, 12:37:20 PM »

You were just confused by my attempt to kill a conversation chain by posting something off-topic.

If I may be on-topic this time,

2D Malon is hAWter than 3D Malon.

>> 2D ZERUDA WINS!

Oh Em Gee! You mean someone has an opinion about a videogame that differs from yours? He must be an idiot.

There is no accounting for taste, so please people, stop trying.

As for me, I don't care what flavor it comes in. Zelda is still freaking Zelda...

It's kinda like Pixar. Even when they make a bad movie, it's still good.

Not to name any names....*coughMonsters Inc.cough*

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #887 on:** April 09, 2005, 03:53:58 PM »

My point was actually the same as yours, except I was trying to show him how annoying it was to state opinion as fact by pissing him off.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #889 on:** April 09, 2005, 08:37:23 PM »

My favourite Zelda is Link's Awakening but I find that Zelda is Zelda and is just consistently great 2D or 3D. Personally I find the difference between the two styles is pretty minor. With Mario or Metroid there's a big difference between 2D and 3D because it's a switch from side scrolling to full 3D. Zelda in a way has always been 3D in that you can move in all directions. The top-view design is kind of a workaround for 3D. It's no coincedence that the smoothest transitions to 3D have been top-view games.

So really the only difference is that in one the viewpoint is fixed and in the other it isn't. The two variations have their own pros and cons but both work really well so quit comparing cookies to candy and enjoy the games. Except maybe for Zelda II.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #890 on:** April 09, 2005, 08:44:10 PM »

But I like candy more than cookies! *begins to rant but quits out of laziness*

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #891 on:** April 09, 2005, 08:49:41 PM »

Candy better than cookies?

You're on your own now Bill.

TMW · « **Reply #892 on:** April 09, 2005, 08:56:50 PM »

I'm with Bill on this one.

Candy > Cookies.

norebonomis · « **Reply #893 on:** April 09, 2005, 11:17:12 PM »

omg omg omg, candy or cookies... candy or cookies, let see... ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..

Niether. The best suger flavoured snack are Jaffa cakes.

Let's not forget about the delciousness of sweet, sweet pie!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMM. . .pppiiieee. . . . .

Rellik · « **Reply #896 on:** April 10, 2005, 12:55:10 PM »

Yes, I support the opinion that the 3-D Zelda's have so far been better than the 2-D ones.

I enjoyed LttP alot, and LA was great, but I can't say either of the aforementioned have the same charm and overall gooditude that OoT/MM had. And I didn't even really enjoy the first two Zeldas, to tell you the truth. WW was more like the 2-D ones than the 3-D ones, in terms of overall "how the game plays" factor (and I don't mean during battle or anything, just what happens during the game and what the experience is like) except with less cool stuff to do.

Miyamoto Osaki · « **Reply #897 on:** April 10, 2005, 05:30:59 PM »

jaffa cakes, sweet pies, thanks guys, i just had my four wisdom teeth removed now I hungryer than ever

(dam the infernal taste of suger, it has to hunt me down until I recover, I can wait until I recover, yummmmmmmmm

)

Look here, Lttp and Oot are equal, there is now way saying that there better than each other, Im with Ian Sane about the games but i find that cookies kick the stuff out of candy and that cookie dough overkills jaffa cakes and sweet pies.

And in the end i find that MM is first, Lttp is second and Oot is third.
MM is so dam cool

IceCold · « **Reply #898 on:** April 10, 2005, 08:18:56 PM »

lol yea I just decided to go on a diet, and then I come onto this forum and cookies and cake are discussed. Whyy, dammit, whyyyyy.

Actually that's not true - but I did read it in an Archie comic sometime (whoever was dieting decided to watch TV to keep their mind off food, but there were only cooking shows on etc)

As for me, I like both 3D and 2D Zeldas, but both in a different way. However, I must say that Nintendo just can't abandon 2D now that the DS is out. They shoud keep releasing 2Ds, at least on the DS, because it still has a lot to give.

mantidor · « **Reply #899 on:** April 11, 2005, 07:17:58 AM »

MM is the best game ever!!1! and thats a fact

From the 2D Zeldas Ive only play the orginal LoZ from emulators >_< and I have to agree with Ian, the difference is not as radical as Mario or Metroid going 3D.
