Hello GAF! I like to be an idiot! (part 3)

I kind of wonder about Minish Cap. It looks awesome, and I see it getting some nice early reviews. But a couple of friends have described it to me as Zelda For Idiots in it's handholding. I think saying it's better than LttP sounds a little flip, but I'll withold judgement till I play it. There's definitely been a movement to making the Zelda games easier and more obvious though, and I hear MC is right in line with that.
 
If the mods realy want to make him feel bad, they should just change his "title" to "junior member". You know how rotten it is to be associated with the lowest common denominator?

EGM said exactly the opposite. Something about MC having the hardest Zelda boss ever and something else about how sometimes there isn't enough handholding so that you might not be sure about what to do next. But I haven't played it yet either.

It is kinda easy, only the wind temple and the final boss are hard. You can rush through it in a day (if you know where to go), or embrace the zelda world and get lost for a few days unlocking/finding stuff and appreciating all the details. IMO it is just lovely.

I prefer all the 3D Zeldas to the 2D Zeldas with the exception of MC which is up there with them somewhere, so no, not because it's just 2D.

Yup, 3D has been very kind to the Zelda series.


Also, call me a bleeding heart, but can Hello GAF have his regular name back? I think his public humiliation has expiated his previous sins.

That would be an insult to Junior Members.

I noticed no real handholding. Certainly no Navi, "Hey! Hey Link! Hey! Hey! Don't you think we should head to Death Mountain." "Shut up you stupid fucking fairy, for the next half an hour I am riding - my - horse!"

It's nowhere near as easy as the 3D Zeldas I promise you.

No he doesn't. He was spamming threads his first day here.

Last boss of Minish cap is really hard.

half of it was figuring out what to do. Then it not so hard. I liked how MC how a few bosses that made you go ?? Also liked that in MC, some boss rooms DO NOT have pots that you can break for life (+1 to design team)
