    This perfectly shows why when we talk about video games we need to separate story (stuff like character development, conversations, actions that actually move a plot forward) and narrative (the story that the player forms in their head when they put together all their actions in the game).

    • @kaleomariz1000
      @kaleomariz1000 3 года назад +3

      Yeah... it takes a deal of patience to play pixel retro games. Not so much because of the graphics but due to the hard obstacles.
      Since such games lacked enough memory, the way to make these games challenging was to put rough obstacles and challenges that you are only able to overcome by ‘finger dexterity’.
      Modern games are not challenging because of such obstacles but mostly because of brainstorming puzzles.

      Pixel games?! Are you nuts? You’re missing out on some of the best video games of all time. I’m only 8 years old and my only console is a PS5 and gaming PC. I traded both of those for an NES, SNES and couldn’t be happier. Pixel games. Pfff. The juxtaposition one finds itself after seeking graphical perfection. Nostalgia is powerful indeed, but negligent considering the premium and unmatched gameplay of the early consoles. 8 bits is enough for this 8 year old.

    The one thing which bothered me ever since I first owned the game when it was released, yes I'm that old is that you only recovered two of the three Triforces Wisdom and Power the Triforce of Courage wouldn't be recovered until Zelda II The Adventure of Link. So it would seem that Nintendo was already planning a sequel.

    This was good, except when you spoke about the 2 triforces and showed 2 pictures of the complete triforce... it makes it sound like they are completely seperate triforces, which is misleading.
    The triforce of power, is just the top triangle in the triforce pictures that you showed, and the triforce of wisdom is the bottom left. The bottom right triangle, which was introduced in zelda ii, is the triforce of courage
