Zelda: OOT Comparison

[Alpha Six]

im kind of disappointed with the whole "can't figure it out? game will tell you" mentality that nintendo has adopted. yeah, i get it, some people are gonna have trouble with a puzzle and might need help, but if the only way to help them is to literally show them how to do it, then it kills the challenge and makes succeeding feel totally unrewarding

these hint movies sound stupid, and the fact that navi apparently constantly bombards you with requests to watch them makes it even worse

nothing takes you out of the atmosphere of the game more than the game telling you to use one of its functions - sometimes this can be done in a funny fourth-wall-breaking way, but this sounds obnoxious

Oh dear, how dare Nintendo include a completely optional feature for people that want to get a little bit of a helping hand in the game without having to run to GameFAQs every 5 seconds.

If you want to solve the puzzle yourself, solve it. If you're stuck and you need help, the game will help you-- if you want it. I don't see anything wrong with that at all.

Unless there's a game that I don't know about, all of Nintendo's products that take advantage of the Super Guide don't actually shove said guide in your face, leaving it to your choice whether or not to use it.

Nintendo has not adopted a "new" mentality, it is the same mentality they have had for years-- fun, accessible games that everybody can enjoy in one way or another. The "walkthrough" system is nothing more than another addition to Nintendo's belt of accessibility options.
