Annoyingly bad games

[Zero Kirby]

Hella controversial one here, but definitely Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for me.


See, the dungeons of almost any Zelda game tend to be the most boring parts for me, but the entire overworld felt like one giant dungeon; it wasn’t that fun to explore, and aside from the obviously required things you need to do to get the next dungeon, there was not much to really do outside of collecting heart pieces, and what little there was to do, typically wasn’t worth it, except maybe the sword upgrade. This made the whole game a drag to play.

And the actual dungeons themselves were so awful, especially that one volcanic dungeon (don’t remember it’s actual name, not really sure I care either). the only dungeon I liked was the color dungeon, which, ironically enough, was probably one of my favorite dungeons in not just the game, but the whole series, IIRC (it's been a while).

Oh, and don’t even get me started on the damn fetch quest. They’re never fun for me, but this game takes the cake, IMO.

TL;DR, I didn’t find very much of this game fun at all, and I can’t help but feel most of the praise this game gets is fueled by nostalgia. I had a blast when I got to the Oracle games, however.

HOW FUCKING DARE- nah it's cool dawg

I still love it and I still replay it and it's still my favourite Zelda, but yeah, at least a little bit of it is nostalgia-goggles since it was my first Zelda.

It's quite funny, though. I love the game but find the colour dungeon kinda underwhelming, and you feel the opposite. I'm wondering if other people on both sides of the "love the game/hate the game" argument feel the same way?
