No More Half-Asked Multiplayer Please

For years Nintendo has being dangling the proverbial multiplayer biscuit just out of reach for us Zelda fans. We can sit, stand, rollover, even complain; but we don't seem to get anything from it. Zelda is known first and foremost for being a single-player adventure game, but Nintendo has, this millennium, decided to integrate some multiplayer aspects into what we're seen in the Four Swords duo and the two DS releases. The thing is, Nintendo has never really given us a real multiplayer experience. They've always been half-asked. Frankly, it comes down to all or nothing. If Zelda is to continue with multiplayer it needs to overcome its mediocrity and provide real multiplayer experiences.

I believe the term is "half-assed."

I could be wrong, though.

NateNater5150d ago

Yep. You sir are correct. It's "half-assed"

spandexxking5149d ago

i think "half-asked" is christian for "half-assed"

Elwenil5149d ago

Foolishness. If you can't even get the phrase right WTF is the point in writing it? If this moron didn't want to use a curse word, nevermind that "ass" is just a donkey, he should have used "half-baked" which means basically the same thing instead of creating a new reason to call himself a damn idiot.

To clarify: you will find that "half-asked" is the correct or more formal term. "Half-assed" is the slang or more commonly used form of the term, however it is not proper.

Either way, the term has the same meaning, so you are being unfair in your judgments of the author.

Especially with pokemon.It has so much potential i would love random encounters with my friends or strangers.

There are enough multiplayer games out there without having to add Zelda to the pile.
I enjoy Zelda as a single player and hope it stays that way

na-no-nai5149d ago

yeah zelda itself should not evolved around multiplayer. it should do what it best at single player experiences

tunaks15149d ago

For me...

Wind Waker
Twilight Princess
Skyward Sword
BotW

These are the best Link's in that order IMO based on their backstory and general percieved personality in my eyes. Since he is silent in the eyes of the player, gotta rely on hidden backstory, motivations, and interactions with other characters to define the personality part.

Inverno1142d ago

Definitely Wind Waker, up until Tetra turned into Zelda which magically stripped her of her spunkyness. But once she's back to being Tetra she's definitely the most badass of the incarnations. This wasn't Link and because of that we got a character that earned the triforce and rised up to be a hero.

AuraAbjure1142d ago (Edited 1142d ago )

A strong case.

OoT. Link's most masculine physique plus just look at how hard that version of Zelda pwns in Super Smash Bros Melee.
