Fuck anyone who complains about “backtracking” in this game or any other. It’s your fault that games have become reduced to linear corridor combat on one end and meaningless, structureless open world heightmaps with quick-travel on the other.

No, secrets were hidden behind grinding rupees.

LBW was boring as shit because you could just get all the items right away.

My question: where’s the mod that replaces dudes’ character portraits and sprites with perfectly chiseled abs and asses?

You’re one hypocritical douchebag, patrick. Hope you’re happy with the clicks, though!

I did basically this 15 years ago in Unreal Engine 1.

Doesn’t look like anything special. Any random Unreal Engine game can have photorealism now. That kinda stuff isn’t special anymore, and it baffles me why you’re still impressed by it. That screenshot you posted at the top especially looks utterly boring and bog-standard, something an indie developer can churn out in…

Loading times were faster,
