GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR MIYAMOTO! STAY AWAY FROM MY ZELDA GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time for Rants, with your Host Ganondorf Lozjam!
I am by no means a purist when it comes to remakes. I was very excited when MM3D was coming out, as I dearly loved Majoras Mask, and I would have really enjoyed to see good, and natural improvements to it! Yet, with some things, they went way too far when it comes to handholding, and other things. First off, let me say this, I do enjoy some of the changes too, such as the new time mechanics which you can go to any hour, the new texture upgrades, the new boss fights(Like Gyorg), and the new controls for Darmani, and Deku Link. Now for the idiocy! The bombers notebook is something I believe needed to be fixed, as it was downright useless in Majora's Mask. I can see why it needed to be changed, but things went way to far. Whenever you speak to an NPC, or do something of relevance, immediately, your bombers notebook opens without you choice, and fills itself in. It tells you where to go, what to do ect. This is such a stupid change, for the fact that it automatically takes you to the bombers notebook, and you have no choice in the matter. If people need the help, fine, but make it an option. If it wasn't optional, they could have at least had the courtesy to make the hints, hints, instead of outright telling you where to go! Not only that, they dumbed down Ice Arrows as well! You can only freeze spots that sparkle in the water, that is both handholding, and taking away the fun of making your own path! This is the definition of excessive handholding, and something I decidedly hate!
Miyamoto needs to stay away from Zelda, as he is dumbing it down. Skyward Sword, as Aonuma envisioned it, would be a very challenging game, yet Miyamoto dumbed it down for casuals! He also did the same with MM3D. I am very excited for Zelda Wii U to be void of handholding(I can hope right?), so Miyamoto better back off and let Aonuma do his work, which is pleasing the fans and making a challenging, yet fun, Zelda Game!!!! No excessive (Required)hand holding in Zelda Wii U please!!!!!!!!
