>>3849670
>Zeldavania
Oh shit, this bullshit hurts my head.
I think I read about it somewhere where a fucking hipster was bashing on "metroidvania" saying hurrr it should be zeldavania, what does not make any sense.

Metroidvania is always a 2D platformer with a specific item/exploration system, why the fuck would you add a top down 2D game like Zelda to the mix, it has some elements of it, but metroidvania is literary a subclass of 2d platformers, far from Zelda.

Heck, just call it a zelda clone, still better definition.

>>3849748
>I think I read about it somewhere where a fucking hipster

I think that was actually Koji Igarashi himself.
He said that he actually was more inspired by Zelda, and not Metroid, when making SOTN.

I'm gonna use this bait thread to remind you all that Metroidvania is a bullshit term because Metroid completely standardized the formula by itself and Castlevania deserves none of the credit.

It's a metroidzeldia because you have to obtain items to access new areas. If it was a weeb anime game then it would earn the castle- prefix (or suffix).

as we've previously established in this thread, that game is a primitive zeltroid

>>3849818
IGA saying he was thinking of Zelda doesn't makes SotN's system more like Zelda. it obviously is much more similar to Metroid.

Calling it "Zeldavania" would be misleading considering that Zelda is much more well-known for its top-down view than for being a sidescroller. "Metroidvania" describes exactly what to expect from the game being discussed.

>>3851662
But I never see any metroids or veins in these games.

>>3851662
As we've already determined, SotN and "Simon's Quest" (muh AVGN) are rinkunobokenvanias.

If you can't figure that out, you have no hope of figuring out the rest of the game anyway, so it's a bit far-fetched to think you have the skills to beat it.
Additionally, how many empty(TRULY empty) rooms were there in towns that didn't provide something? Just because you had to work a little harder for one piece of a clue doesn't mean it was the game's fault. Zelda 2 has a lot of problems, but that's not one.

Lol, Faxandu was a Castlevania ripoff that was immediately ripped off by a Zelda game. The sphere of influence shared between these early NES titles is ripe for study

Ahctually... all these beltscollingrpgvanias are rip offs of Dragon Buster from 1984 by Namcot. First game with double jumpmania.

Also Did you know... Mario 2 is a romhack of Donkey Donkey Picnicvania?

These blackonyxvanias meet the qualifications for the broader genre of ripoffvanias

You have two boards to post your degenerate shit in, don't bring it in here and try to act like it's not off topic.
