I'm about to play the first LoZ game, the first Zelda title I have ever played. What should I expect? Is the game beatable without any help whatsoever? I've heard there's a lot of typical cryptic 80's game secrets that have plagued titles like Castlevania 2.

>What should I expect?

Action and puzzle-solving. Albeit, LoZ puzzles weren't all that complex, as there were only a few possible actions you could perform in any given room.

>Is the game beatable without any help whatsoever?

Yes. Only the second quest is slightly disorienting, but still totally beatable without a guide. I can think of maybe one or two parts that would confuse most people. (and only on the second quest)

>I've heard there's a lot of typical cryptic 80's game secrets that have plagued titles like Castlevania 2.

The symptom doesn't apply to the original LoZ. Some people have directed such complaints at Zelda II, but I think they're full of shit. I beat that game when I was 10.
>>
Yes you can definitely beat it even without a map like the one that came with the game. Just listen to what the old men say. Sometimes it's useless bullshit but other times they give vital clues, such as the location of a dungeon.

This game requires a walk through of some sort and definitely a map. You should be able to make it through with that much, but going in blind just equates to you wandering around for 2 hours then, eventually, be in a dungeon that you don't belong in. Other than that, it's still a solid 3 decades old game. The 2nd one is a different story.

I grew up with this game and jumped on the remaster the day it dropped. Great game! It is a sequel though. The full original is actually in DotT. Use the computer in Crazy Ed's room to play it.

If you like this, try The Dig and Sam&Max Hit the Road.
>>
>>3292452
I've played the original MM. Liked it, but nowhere near as much. I'm actually about to try Sam and Max, but hadn't heard of the Dig. Thanks for the recommendation.

How do you feel about the remaster compared to the original?

Well that was pretty fun, I can see why it's so highly rated, it has some ambitious amount of content. First Final Fantasy game I ever finished

The Weapons optional boss fights were the best part, any other RPG with some similar end game challenge?

Is Crisis Core worth it?

Why did the Weapons have no point storywise and just wondered around instead of fucking Sephiroth's shit up?

>Why did the Weapons have no point storywise and just wondered around instead of fucking Sephiroth's shit up?

Because although Sephiroth was the reason they awoke, his energy barrier concealed his presence to them. They assumed that humans were the reason they awoke instead.

>The Weapons optional boss fights were the best part, any other RPG with some similar end game challenge?

most of the post-FFVII JRPGs, really. While having optional, powerful bosses wasn't a new thing, FFVII really kickstarted the "+1000000HP mega secret boss" who required of extensive meta-gaming knowledge.

>Is Crisis Core worth it?
no

>Why did the Weapons have no point storywise and just wondered around instead of fucking Sephiroth's shit up?

IIRC emerald and ruby weren't in the original japanese FFVII. As for the others, well, it's an JRPG, they're merely gameplay devices more than anything.
>>
>>3292140

I've read that the weapons were originally intended to be creations of Sephiroth to help augment his defenses to the northern crater, but that somehow makes even less sense than the reasoning we got in the final game. Oh well, they're cool so I don't mind them being an afterthought.

Why does that even exist? I don't quite understand. Why couldn't it all be PAL or NTSC?

>fairly good refresh rate

0/10, anon. 50hz is trash and the marginally higher maximum resolution of PAL isn't even close to taken advantage of by retro consoles.

I set it up on a Pi 3 connected to a crt and I'm having as much fun as when I first modded my Wii.

Anybody else using it?

What are your thoughts on it?

Yes it's retro since it's used to emulate retro games

My thoughts on it ate that it's inferior to amodded Wii. Why aren't you just playing on your Wii?
>>
>>3290475
I wanted a project to work on. I ended up building a nice manchild enclosure for it.

I don't see how it's inferior to a Wii since it plays ps1 games nicely, is more customizable, and has regular updates unlike the Wii homebrew scene.
