#i think with tp it would've been cooler if there was a big contrast b/w the normal hyrule palette and the twilight

I love the Oracle games so much, Moosh was my fav. Never managed to get Dimitris flute :(. I think my "problem" with LA is that it was so hyped up and then I played it and it was a bit of a letdown in comparison. And I noticed very little difference between OG and HD TP, a bit of a shame. Though I'd argue the darker tones fit the general mood of the game, it is so brown. LoZ doesn't actually do remakes well, OoT and MM for the 3ds were also a bit disappointing.

i love moosh!! he’s so cute. i ended up with dimitri on accident, and i like his “story” the best bc you have to rescue him and his horn is broken... poor baby...

link’s awakening isn’t a very “big” game, i can sorta see being let down. and i didn’t love that they replaced the photos with the dungeon maker, i thought that was really tedious. but the graphics and gameplay were such a boost though from the original, i could actually get the no-deaths bonus scene! i’m so bad at older games. the og loz was easy but idk how anyone beat zelda ii without save states....

i think their remakes are hit or miss tbh. wind waker hd was great, it looked fantastic and they improved on the biggest flaws of the original. i played the 3ds version of both oot and mm, and it does have a different feeling when you play something handheld. doesn’t feel quite as epic. (plus the stupid moon segment at the end of mm with the goron mask was a nightmare to control...) but i didn’t grow up with the n64, so when i tried a gamecube port of oot i struggled a lot with how it played lol. i wasn’t blown away by the 3ds graphics for sure, but for me the controls are (mostly) easier

i know a lot of people love tp and it’s in my top ten for sure, but i think they missed a big opportunity with the remake to actually update the graphics bc i just... never liked how it looked. the characters had a great style (except link with his badly rendered hair and face, rip) and the focus on architecture was really cool, castle town and hyrule castle looked great and so did the snowpeak mansion. but the other areas were just... very brown and blurry. it all felt muddy. i know graphics don’t make or break a game, but i got a little tired of the environments, and even though i’m never gonna prefer that “realistic” muted color palette i would’ve loved to see what tp would look like with today’s graphics :( bc the official art looks great and i love the gothic aesthetic

in the end though i just like my zelda to be colorful lmao. mm had a dark story but a colorful palette. and i’m excited that botw 2 is supposed to have a darker story. i wanna see some redeads
