Poll: Has anybody used Quick Equip reliably in A Link Between Worlds? Or was the pause menu sufficient enough? Asking for science. #zelda

@skunksaucers I also just think going from ALBW -> ALTTP isn't as satisfying as the opposite, which does play into both experiences quite a bit. ALBW is a great game on its own though, still waiting to see it on Switch!

@skunksaucers It's easier, but story-wise it doesn't lead much of anywhere outside of Tri Force Heroes, and both are stuck on 3DS. With ALTTP, you can go to the GB games, ALBW itself and if you really want to, Zelda 1.

Here's 9 games that are playing a huge part in my fangame's design, each in their own special way. Do you enjoy any of these? :)

@Mastu_Denton I 100% agree, which is why I've been pretty vocal about the new formula's shortcomings as of late. Problem is that BOTW era outsold the rest of the franchise by a disgusting amount, so they're now getting way too comfortable.

@alexaugerdev TotK was already received significantly differently than BotW. If they ignore this theyre setting themselves up for another stagnation era

@Mastu_Denton He understands the nostalgia older fans have, but it's pretty clear he doesn't care about going back to that style, at least in short-term.

@Mastu_Denton I recommend reading interviews with Aonuma like the IGN one for ToTK, where he clearly questions "Why do you want to go back to a type of game where you're more limited or more restricted in the types of things or ways you can play?"

@Mastu_Denton That's because they don't really need to, do they? It's not like they're going to make the games in that style anymore. Going forward, the old formula might as well be a different franchise or not exist. I don't like it either, but I can't simply ignore that this is reality.

@alexaugerdev I dont think BotW is a good introduction based on my subjective experience with people who did start there and how often they refuse to engage with the older games.

Even though it comes first chronologically, I wouldn't recommend Skyward Sword as your first game. I think the novelty of learning the origin of the story hits harder if you've already stepped into the shoes of the hero and met the other 2 chosen by the gods.

@dargkkast Loving and enjoying something without that amount of zeal is perfectly fine, but people are misunderstanding each other because "being a fan" now means all of those things at once unless you explain your intended nuance afterwards. It's inefficient discourse.

@dargkkast I don't think being a fan is a better or worse thing, these are simply people that devote a lot more than the average person.

@dargkkast It's not guaranteed people are going to see it through (unless you watch a streamer, which I can't do anything about😅) But asking a simple "Can you do it?", knowing it's going to be a test of various skills is going to be appealing to some. Helps the game's going to be free.

@dargkkast If someone's here to just breeze through it just to get to the next game, they may not have a good time. I always say, respect the game and it will respect you. Now, my job is getting people on board to try and figure out my game, how to reach the end :)

If my words made you angry, I think my game will not be for you and that's perfectly fine with me. My goal with it is to craft a thought-out rewarding experience that makes full uncompromised use of all its mechanics. It'll be an adventure you'll need to invest in to "get it".
AlexAugerDev-Z@alexaugerdev

The ever-rising idea of making a single game accessible to as many people as possible has few benefits outside of sales and profits. Focusing on the core audience means focusing on a core vision, otherwise ideas and concepts are spread too thin to be fulfilling enough.
