I just beat Adventure of Link. Finally. Srsly. Ya Rly.

DELICIOUS POISON · 07-29-2006, 02:19 AM

That game was fun, but totally absurd. The dread hawks are all like stabbing me, and I'm all like getting stabbed, and it's not cool, and I run screaming. But I totally beat it with my awesome cheapness. Zelda 1337N3$$ like +7. You'll probably reply to this, and be all like "Yeah, I beat that game, too," and I'll be all like "Shut up noob, no you didn't," and then you'll all sulk and probably wet your bed at night because I'm so right and you're a noob.

I never really tried to play through it before, and I am so thrilled. There has not been a more rewarding ending to a videogame that I've played in the past 10 years, likely.

Swordmaster Link · 07-29-2006, 03:02 AM

Seeing this made me want to go play it through again, really.

Damn those final bosses were a bitch though.

Tad Venture · 07-29-2006, 09:22 AM

The farthest I've gotten in that game, sadly, was to the Down Thrust. I really need to play it again.

Leinad · 07-29-2006, 09:37 AM

^ditto.

Beating the game was satisfying, but the ending? Not so much. Then they have the audacity to ask if I want to play again.

**Cravdraa** · 07-29-2006, 02:11 PM

I beat it too, this morning!

DELICIOUS POISON · 07-29-2006, 02:11 PM

The ending isn't what matters. Beating the game is the triumph. None of the games that have come out in god knows how long have been so challenging as to make me actually proud of having beaten them.

And for all you "sage-shippers," Zelda totally plants one on Link at the end.

**Cravdraa** · 07-29-2006, 02:21 PM

Aw hell, it's back! Run for your lives!

Swordmaster Link · 07-29-2006, 02:45 PM

I was satisfied with beating it because by far, this game jumps out at me (with OoS being a distant second) as the most combat-oriented Zelda game made. I remember playing through the first time, and the puzzles both to get into the dungeons and in the dungeons themselves were really nothing special. But damn, I remember walking away in frustration because in some dungeons I got my ass kicked before I could make it to the boss.

Koga · 07-29-2006, 02:58 PM

I remember beating random enemies in the swamp area time after time just to gain experience. One of the reasons why I dislike RPGs is that when you cannot beat a boss it may not be because you aren't good enough, but it may be because your character isn't strong enough. Still, I thorouhgly enjoyed playing through the game on my Zelda collector's disc, after I had rented it once before on the NES, when I didn't like it at all.

I never actually beat the game, but it is pretty damn hard for me. Same with the original Legend of Zelda...yet the rest don't give me trouble.

As for your opinion on RPG's, the Golden Sun series, Pokemon series, and Quest 64 all have the easy training option since dying doesn't take away experience(just gold, except Q64) and you just reappear at your last save point(slight exceptions, but anyway)

The only thing that bothers me in rpg's is the Die = Game Over thing. Paper Mario series was the only one that didn't bother me, but eh.

Yeah, I suck at this game...

Swordmaster Link · 07-29-2006, 08:17 PM

Look what you did, AI. Now I'm playing it again. Just beat the 1st palace.

DELICIOUS POISON · 07-30-2006, 04:17 AM

YOU'LL PLAY IT, AND YOU'LL LIKE IT... SORD!!!!!!!1111

Koga · 07-30-2006, 04:56 AM

I didn't even know there were RPGs where you lost experience if you died.

Mr. Andy_Man · 08-01-2006, 11:27 PM

Oh, wait...

goy ( P ) Pronunciation Key (goi)
