Do you know of any games aside from pic related that are like ethereal fairy tales in video game form? Please no bully.

I've been in to astyanax lately, there's an annoying/helpful fairy too.

Ethereal fairy tale is an odd way to describe Ocarina of Time...

If you can be more specific...

He probably means how magical and mysterious the universe in OOT is. The goddesses, the triforce, the sacred realm. You only hear of those things, but you (Link) never sees any of that himself. I always pondered about the Sacred Realm in OOT when I was a kid, wondered how it was, if it was even a physical place.

He means a game that feels like it's been lived in but still summarily depicts some moral like good vs evil in quintessential form. We have gone full circle. After an overstayed welcome of artistic hipster games, we have finally opened our eyes and want to go back to simpler days from a more civilized age.

This is fits the description for me

Yeah that's a good one, as is the rest of the Mana series. Mana also carries the sense of a world that's waning and all that's magical is fading away or departing like in LotR. I also had the Changeling PnP game in mind, though I personally view it as a moral coarseness and corruption of the period rather than leaving childhood and growing into banal adulthood.

SO many WRPGs if you can get yourself into them. Games like OOT are Japanese interpretations of western style stories but Nintendo is really good at making things accessible.
>>
>>3986771

I think it would just be nice if people acknowledged that morals existed, and that a few of them are very much mandatory.

That's it.

My experience has been quite different.

You mean Chinese. Zelda is inspired by "Journey to the West," the same thing DBZ is based on. Hence, Dragon Balls and Triforce granting your wishes.
>>
>>3986842
Having an item that grants wishes doesn't mean a game is based on or inspired by one in particular of the thousands of fairy tales where an item grants wishes. Also, an item isn't a story. And an inspiration isn't and interpretation. Dictionaries. I miss the days when children used them.
>>
>>3986842
Source on Zelda being inspired in JotW?
>>
>>3986920
I never implied otherwise. I just listed an example. Do you know what "example" means? Also calling you out for being wrong about it being western influence.

>>3986925
Iwata Asks about Ganon coming from the Zhu Baiji.

Zelda is very obviously a Japanese interpretation of Western style fantasy settings with some Eastern concepts and characters inserted for various reasons.
>>
>>3986976
You never implied anything you outright said it. I know what example means. Clearly it's one of those many words you don't know the meaning of if you think it has anything to do with how wrong you are. I never said it was "western influence" or anything of the sort. I only said you were wrong. Words kiddo. Learn what they mean and you'll look less stupid.

Mystic Ark has a weird surreal atmosphere. So does 7th Saga, but with a more traditional fantasy setting.

Maybe the point-and-click game Loom.

Place created by the 3 goddesses, where the Triforce lies.
It's a holy place connected to Hyrule, but at a higher level, like a "heaven".
Ganondorf entered the Sacred Realm when Link opened the door of time.
But the "Sacred Realm" seems to be not a physical place, but rather a "mirror of the heart". Ganondorf's heart was evil, so he turned Hyrule into a dark world.
The Sages and Zelda, in a desperate move, sealed him in the Sacred Realm, now turned into a dark world.
Ganondorf escapes the Sacred realm in Wind Waker.

>using the Triforce, Hyrulean royalty created a peaceful era that goes on for a long time. -(TP)
>many many wars happen -(ALBW)
>seven sages finally have enough and create a place called the Sacred Realm -(ALBW)

>Ganon corrupts Sacred Realm by touching the Triforce. -(OoT)
>Link beats Ganon and is sent back in time by Zelda closing the road to the Triforce, but it remains split and presumably the Sacred Realm remains corrupted in the Child Timeline because of it. -(OoT)

That's all we know. There is some speculation that the Silent Realm is the Sacred Realm in Skyward Sword because it fits an adage from the ALttP manuals that says "In a realm beyond sight the sky shines gold, not blue. There the Triforce's might makes mortal's dreams come true." But it's unconfirmed. I haven't played through BotW yet, so I don't know how that fits.

Play the Mega Man Legends series. They're the PS1's closest games to Ocarina
>>
>>3987017
this
So is Fire Emblem desu
It's part of the charm of both series, it's like looking at something through the distorting lens that is another persons cutely flawed perspective, and realizing there is nothing wrong with what they are seeing
>>
>>3987238
I always thought this, too. Same vibes, grand adventure-sort of feeling, but a different setting.
>>
>>3987968
He never said that OOT predates MML though.
Anyway, there's nothing "fairytale/ethereal" about Mega Man Legends.

Don't worry. You're too old for this. They're probably underage and use this website as the closest chance they have to ever being adult.
