Someone needs to do a speedrun of all the zeldas.

The Darknuts don’t give a visual clue when they are about to make a turn because that would ruin their entire purpose. They are very difficult to kill and are deadly. That’s the point. Why make them easier? This game is too easy as it is. In my opinion the only tough enemies in the entire game are the Darknuts and the Wizards. I wish there were more tough enemies than just those two.

Watching the gameplay during this video and how bad the player is at combat was pretty brutal. Haha

Played Zelda 1 the first time a few years ago after BotW. I spent years avoiding it because everyone made Zelda 1 sound like this cryptic and borderline unplayable game without a detailed guide, otherwise you would spend hours bombing every tile in the game. In my experience the game was incredibly fun, and I loved the exploration like a super early alpha BotW, and for all the supposed difficulty I only got stuck once during my play through playing the game completely blind.

watched it whole way through

11:07 That's a low blow man. Xenoblade 2's main theme is persistence in the face of despair. The emotional climax you were making fun of is about Rex's decision to work to make the world a better place rather than sinking into despair, thinking the world a cesspool of unsaveably evil and selfish people. Also the battle system in that game is like 500 times more fun than the P4 one. And I say that as a P4 enjoyer.

I made a gui to map an Xbox controller to use every weapon as fast as I can hit the button with the shoulder button allowing screen scroll from the sides left and right only. However I cannot get more than three weapons to appear at once. Not sure if that due to the NES emulation speed or the sprite limits due to slow old integrated circuits. Nice vid it's time for skyward sword...btw check out displaced gamers videos on stories and input logic. Darknuts are predictable and pseudo controllable if that don't explain it bismuths lack attacks run explains it good too

I just played this game last week. I may have enjoyed it more than when i finished it 35 years ago. It was much easier this time. I think it took me a month to find Labyrinth 7. 😂 Great game, and amazing for its time.

Best thing about level design is quest 2 level 5 where u either get the triforce and reenter or go thru tge triforce room wall to get the Mandatory item. I swear u r allowed to walk thru walls because theres too much data that it meeds to save bomb animations so ot lets u wall thru

Dude blowing the whistle after a bubble hits u doesn't give u a sword back it just wastes 3 seconds like normal

This is a great video. I love the xenoblade series, i was waiting to watch this until I replayed the first one. I listened to it while at work, along with my commutes.

I have the easiest time handling darknuts when there's blocks in the room. I can kinda hunker down behind one, and when one of the darknuts passes by, I can flank him. Also, your sword has just enough reach that when attacking while facing upward, it can extend past the block's tile and still register as a hit.

I seriously recommend you watch Luxin's videos if you want to understand the game better.

dang i guess im one of those strange crazy people

When the function got a 4 hour long xenoblade review

everyone says zelda 1 is peak until you run into a room full of blue dark nuts or that one room with the wizrobes and the moving sparks.

Sure, word of mouth was definitely helpful, especially if you knew someone that also had the game. But alot of us in the 80s had more resources than it's commonly thought or presumed. Mainly magazines. By 1989 I believe atleast a partial guide was printed with level maps for one through six and secret shops and heart containers. There was a tips and tricks type book that sold for 5 bucks. There was also a guide printed for most of the second quest too. There were also guides that came out later in 94 and I think the guide for a Link to the Past had a guide for the first and second games as well. By 1995 the internet and email was spreading pretty fast to most parts of the US and there were Nintendo forums and lines of communication to figure out stuff if you had the means. Most of us though used the manual that came with the game to get us started as far as we could and just experimented from there. I think today there's alot of gaming cliches that we kinda take for granted like breakable blocks being highlighted or making a certain sound, or certain predictable locations or solutions. Alot of time you would find yourselves saying abstract things like, "I wonder if I can (insert impossible action)" or "maybe I need to (insert irrelevant scenario)", not knowing that would NEVER be a solution, ever in any Zelda video game. Haha

Congrats! 🎉 Can’t wait to see You’re scripted videos to Xenoblade 2 and 3 😏

One of if not the best video I've seen on this amazing game. A+ review.

I think the grumble grumble thing is weirdly confusing I’ve heard “my stomach is rumbling” a bunch of times, grumble makes it seem like he’s just grumpy about something… Well that’s how I see it anyway

J.basham I grew up playing this game . Now I 43 years I still love to play. One of the best games of all time . I hope over the Generations games like this will not be forgotten. 🤔😁

This is the third time this week Im watching this. Such a good video :)

no offense but whoever was playing link in the video isnt very good

I don't think todays kids will fully grasp what Zelda was, not this one.

I can't freaking believe its been 35 years, would I would give to go back.

Yes. The answer is yes. It's amazing.

Judging a 35 year old game by current gaming standards... Peak KZfaq content & lack of context. Tldr - Game bad, it no do thing game do now

I know I'm super late to this video, but if you're bored of the stereotypical fantasy experience still, I would recommend Brandon Sanderson's fantasy series, especially the Stormlight Archives. They have some very unique creatures, magic systems and a deep well of lore you could get lost in.

Bloody beautiful game .has now become the best game I have ever played and I really don’t think there will be another anytime soon.

I swear, during the discussion of the leitmotifs, I could hear music from Final Fantasy Adventure/Adventure of Mana! It’s the track called Requiem

I suspect that the reason the devs added a scene about the Nopon camp was because players were missing it in play-testing, then saying they needed things to do in the area. I know I (somehow) almost missed it my first playthrough. I do think it’s much easier to see in DE than on the Wii version.

I'm not sure monad means what you think. It's not a duality of anything, it's a unity or totality. It's monad, mono. As opposed to diad or triad

I replayed this on the Switch after playing it on the Wii back in 2010, and I fell in love with it all over again. I forgot how massive the Mechonis was.

One thing about the ending I've always had an issue with is that Shulk makes a world "without the need of gods". That doesn't really make sense. Mayneth was altogether kind, good and crucial to the teams' success- in her role as a god. What would make more sense is if he simply made a world without fate. Heck imagine how much more solid ALL the themes would be if when remaking the world without fate, Shulk let Zanza live- but left him a normal human. And that unable to control and manipulate others with his godlike powers, he found his new life worthless and he k***ed himself. It would keep in line with the ideas earlier about revenge, and will- as well as highlighting the concrete difference between Shulk and Zanza's personalities.

Great video! Always happy to hear people gush about Xenoblade. I will say though (in part because I'm listening to this at work and not able to look at your visuals) you spend a lot of time during your plot analysis simply stating THAT a scene does this or that, instead of using pieces of the scene to explain WHY it does this or that. It makes your video kinda hard to follow and I think would help the structure of your arguments greatly. I'm much more excited to hear the mechanics of how a scene works in context, than to hear just that it does work and that it is awesome for working. Still you clearly put a lot of work and effort into this and deserve praise for making such a great video

The thing i hate about how i played this game was just how little side content i did.

Complaining about the game not having a map when the game came with a map...should have done more research.

Dude it was one of those Landmark Games.

I found that moblin when I was fighting the peahats there and got bumped into the secret passage. Mind blown.

Secret in the tip of the arrow refers to a power bracket thing where you find a stone arrow in the field and you can push the tip which reveals a staircase

Also this game made rupees necessary. Buy meat, rupee rings,bomb and arrow upgrades, replacing your magic shield when some hamburger looking mo fo eats it halfway through level 6.

Darknuts can only turn when they are dead center of a tile. Link can walk on the lines on the floor. This means with good timing you can attack the darknuts when they are off center allowing you a brief second of free attack where you know you are safe from a crazy Ivan (complete turn on a dime).

I watched this whole video while at work. I have no regrets. I just bought this game and I’m excited to get into a new series

One of the things that you may not be aware of is that there were a whole series of documents that were given to you when you bought the game. There was a manual, a map that gave you some clues about locations of the first few dungeons..:it left a lot of the exploration to you and give you ways to document it so you look back to it later.

The secret power is in the arrow hint tells you how to easily kill the monsters that look like bouncing cat heads. Those enemies first appear in level 5. The game came with a map, so saying "it didn't come with an in game map isn't a good gripe. They show all the items you can get at the beginning of the game, one of those is food. It is also sold in multiple stores as well. I don't think the hints are too hard. I figured out everything when I was 12 years old except how to kill Ganon at the end of the game.
