"Like Zelda but Hate the Wii "
Why hate a piece of plastic?

MidnytRain4843d ago

Why do people type like this?

jneul4843d ago

i agree with you but not everyone wants to buy a wii just for one game and 3d dot heroes is very good.

ChickeyCantor4843d ago

3D dot heroes?
So its a parody to the zelda franchise...that makes it a good replacement?
No...

rdgneoz34843d ago

No, 3D Dot Heroes pays homage to Zelda and makes a ton of references to Nintendo games, its not a parody. And its a great game overall.

MidnytRain4843d ago (Edited 4843d ago )

@sidar
He didn't say it could replace Zelda, he just said some people may not want to put down money for a new console to play one game. Also, I don't know if you haven't actually played it or just don't know what "parody" means, but 3D DGH is a tribute/spiritual brother for this generation. It doesn't mock or tease Zelda.

Am I the only one thinks this guy game in here with a mind to complain about or attack this article and its commenters?

ChickeyCantor4842d ago (Edited 4842d ago )

Parody :
" humorous or satirical mimicry "

Im not insulting the game, not saying its bad. But its obviously build with the idea of "LOL WE ARE BEING OLDSCHOOL " while mimicking sh/tloads of the original zelda.
But you cant justify Dot heroes as a Zelda alternative since Zelda has evolved FROM the original.
The article suggest there are Zelda replacements for those who do not want to play zelda because of the Wii.
Thats why i asked "...that makes it a good replacement?"

"Am I the only one thinks this guy game in here with a mind to complain about or attack this article and its commenters?"

If thats attacking i suggest you stay away from the internet.

Its obvious that most N4G readers are incompetent when it comes to comprehensive reading. But this really starts to get annoying.

TheSanchezDavid4842d ago

@sidar: Just wanted to point out that nowhere in the article is the word "replacement" used. These are just alternatives that some gamers who like Zelda may also enjoy.

ChickeyCantor4842d ago

neither did i say he used the word "replacement", instead he suggests it.

Why else?

the only two games that should have even been on that list were Darksiders and 3D dot game heroes.

Zack_Fair4843d ago

Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom is good too.

Samus HD4843d ago

zelda is going to make you love the Wii

ChickeyCantor4843d ago (Edited 4843d ago )

Zelda games bring a different experience. Not playing them is just the same as missing out.

"God of War Series"

Is he even trying?

"the basic gameplay elements that Legend of Zelda fans enjoy are there"
Thats like saying FPS are good replacement for platformers since you can JUMP.

TheSanchezDavid4842d ago

I've heard plenty of people mention Zelda when they play God of War and vice versa. It's not that the games are similar, but they do offer core elements that fans of the genre can enjoy. It's not as if I'm making a comparison between Zelda and GTA, both of which are action-adventure games. The keyword is "fantasy".

Twilight Princess’ Hyrule Field Is Boring, Empty, And Excellent

TheGamer Writes "In my experience, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess’ once-warm reception has chilled somewhat over the years. Praised at launch as a beautiful return to form after the “childish” art style of its direct predecessor, the world eagerly embraced a game that more closely followed Ocarina of Time’s famous structure and plot cues. Perhaps most alluringly of all, the grandeur and sheer scope of this reimagined Hyrule Field wowed millions of us."

Yup, looks like Nintendo "sales" pricing.

GaboonViper618d ago

I am a huge Zelda fan and love them all, but for me Ocarina Of Time is the greatest and my second all time favourite game after Final Fantasy VII.

LoveSpuds617d ago (Edited 617d ago )

You sir, have good taste in games :)

I also love all of the Zelda games but I adore Windwaker (Specifically the HD version on WiiU) most of all. It is a close run thing with Breath of the Wild though.

Special mention to Cadence of Hyrule too, what an awesome spin off title that was!

GaboonViper616d ago

Cheers Spuds, yep i love Windwaker too, beautiful artstyle, and i loved sailing and finding all the secrets out there.

blackbeld616d ago

Agreed. For me top 3 of all time is.

1. ocarina of time
2. Final fantasy Vll
3. MGS1

GaboonViper616d ago

Brilliant top 3, would love a MGS1 remake that has been rumoured.

LoveSpuds616d ago

Yup, hard to argue with that top 3 squire, some quality games right there!

-Foxtrot618d ago

Oh gee can't imagine what Number 1 is

....

A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker etc is better than Breath of the Wild.

lockedongamer1618d ago

I respectfully disagree, but they're all great games.

porkChop617d ago

I think it really depends on what you're looking for. If you want a traditional Zelda game then OoT or WW would be better to you. But if you want a Zelda game that really leans into adventure and exploration, and if you want intelligent systems/logic, BotW would be the better game.

I enjoy both. I understand why some people aren't fond of it but for me it was a breath of fresh air that I really needed. I'd become so burnt out on unimaginative games and BotW sort of made me appreciate games again, as weird as that may sound.

godofboobees617d ago

Those are not traditional Zelda games

Crows90616d ago

Right...so let's pretend ocarina of time didnt have exploration, secret dungeons and other secrets. Complex boss mechanics and exploration rewards. At least a traditional Zelda has dungeons.

porkChop616d ago

What point are you attempting to make? At no point did I say that OoT didn't have any of that. However, the level of exploration and sense of adventure are vastly different between OoT and BotW.

Brazz617d ago

Breath of the Wild is overrated as shot, Wind waker is much better.

P_Bomb617d ago

I’m a Link to the Past guy.

MadLad617d ago

Majora's Mask still holds as my favorite to this day, despite being the black sheep of the series.

pietro1212617d ago

I love them all, but Wind Walker, Link to the Past and Minish Cap are my favorites

John_McClane616d ago

Link to the Past was so, so good! Those chickens though! 🤣
