Almost had a seizure at the gym... Not fun. I went pretty hard so I guess it's just a reminder that I am not normal and need to pace myself much more than my muscles technically allow.

okay, as funny as this video may seem, i actually think the japanese propensity to add in layers upon layers of esoteric gnosticism, occultism, and mythology is so fucking cool. i never really thought about any of it being in mario because it's the funny bing bing wahoo italian man game, but so many other japanese games have it that like...why can't mario you know?
obviously it doesn't mean mario 64 is actually a masonic initiation ritual or anything like that lol, but developers doing this kind of stuff is so damn fascinating. and shit like this in pretty much every japanese game i can think of lol.

@npub1wch…lhs8 if anything, you might say that i think the game is better than the original due to confirmation bias, because they changed a lot of stuff i have criticisms about from the original game. but dude, i'm still willing to criticize things that are deserving of criticism and i feel like i'm pretty rational about that with all the games i play and review. maybe i have a higher bar of what deserves criticism than you do, but i certainly wouldn't call myself a fanboy. that's reserved for the niggas who like, tag nintendo on twitter under videos of emulators and whine and complain about their games being pirated. or worse, the people who will actually straight up submit false takedown notices to mods and shit.
it's crazy that you can just hate that something exists on principal alone and then tell people they have no soul for enjoying it lmao. chill out man!

@npub1wch…lhs8 i love the art style a lot, it really takes on a fairy tale look and is heavily inspired by handcrafted dolls and puppet theater. i can definitely understand not liking it or being offput by it, but i really do love how it looks. it's very charming to me and it really sets it apart from other games. i think it was a good choice.
i wouldn't say the dungeons are "babyfied" but they have seen some changes to make them easier to play. i honestly do not think that's from a "make this easier" standpoint though, it really seems to me that they wanted to remove a lot of the absolute bullshit that exists in the original. i can totally get the viewpoint that the bullshit kind of adds to the game's identity, but i think it is more fun this way where the challenge becomes solving a puzzle instead of fighting with the game to complete that puzzle. for instance, there's the room in the fire temple where you have to push the block down on the fire pillar to go up to the second floor. in the original you have to climb around this fuck ass fence that is pretty finnicky, and getting back to the door to leave the room can even be a bit of a ball ache with the angle you have to walk up the slope. in the remake, they redesigned the room so that you just have to walk around the side and up a climbing wall to push the block down.
none of the puzzle solutions in ocarina of time are that hard or esoteric, none of them at all. especially if you already know exactly how to solve them. that's been a criticism of the original game for a long time, actually. the only thing this remake does is make it easier to get to that solution through an overhaul of the actual gameplay, not by meaningfully changing the puzzles themselves.
there is literally a new xenoblade coming out next year. xenoblade genesis. you might call this "millennial bait" but there is no better game than ocarina of time to remake if you are looking to ease brand new players (most of them being gen z and gen alpha kids) into a style of zelda that is more constrained than this. i don't know if that is there plan necessarily, but i think it is something that would actually work really well. they've also got the zelda movie coming out and i'm almost certain it is going to involve elements of ocarina of time, so it helps tie in to that. i think true millennial slop is something closer to the shrek 2 game remake, or even spongebob battle for bikini bottom rehydrated.
i think remakes often don't do the original games justice and are extremely hard to do right, but they still have their place. i think the major thing they can accomplish is not giving old players another way to play the old game but now new, but to get new players into an older style of game that the company then pivots into a bit more, or incorporates systems from those games into their newer ones. of course, there is also the case of trying to gauge audience reception to see what the strategy should be with a series moving forward. a lot of that is from the gaming industry's point of view and not the player's, of course, but honestly bro if you don't want to play a remake of a game and think it is shit or something... the original still exists. i thought the silent hill 2 remake was kind of subpar so i'll just continue playing the original. the star fox 64 remake is good enough that i'll probably play that one more often when i go back to the game. this ocarina of time remake is so insanely good that i don't think i'll ever recommend anyone play the original again, unless they REALLY want to for the historical aspect. i still think it's a really good game, but as someone who watched a zoomer play it earlier this year there are very obvious things in it that i would change and they have all been changed in the remake.
it's a little bit insane to say "this person likes something i think sucks so they have no soul" lol. i personally think that sentiment is far more cringe than guys getting excited over remakes of their favorite games. sounds like the kind of hyper-exaggerated sensationalist slop that pretty much every interaction on the internet has become and that's pretty lame.

Not only did Nintendo just create the greatest remake of all time, they did it with one of the best and most beloved games of all time. I truly believe that this is hands down better than the original game, with very few hiccups along the way. When people ask what Zelda game to play first now, I'm no longer going to give my "Ocarina of Time or Breath of the Wild" answer, depending on what kind of gameplay they are after. Ocarina of Time's remake is the answer I'll give everyone now. It's incredible.
Aside from the obvious graphical overhaul, which is so whimsical and very appreciated in a gaming landscape where we either get retro-inspired games or realistic looking ones, Nintendo have gone absolutely bonkers with this remake without adding anything that might upset the original's balance. The most worthy thing to note are the new cutscenes, which add so much gravitas to the story and so much extra characterization to the denizens of Hyrule. Things like the Great Deku Tree's death, pulling the Master Sword for the first time, and a lot of the ending are completely revamped and recontextualized in a way that feels much more impactful.
Speaking of characterization, holy crap Navi got quite the glow-up here. At first, I found her little quips pretty annoying because she is just repeating stuff Solid Snake style, but as time went on you start to get a feel for her personality where she's always just trying to be bright and funny, very fairy-like. In the original, she can be a bit of an annoying guide constantly pestering you about stuff you need to do or game systems, and that's about it, minus a couple more interesting interactions. She was primarily made for the same reason Lakitu in Mario 64 was, to give very new concepts a character to associate with that made them feel more grounded for the new players. In the remake, she's a full-blown character with tons of dialogue, tons of personality, who often speaks on Link's behalf which is a FANTASTIC idea for keeping him silent in a game that otherwise has voiced dialogue in cutscenes. I ended up really liking her new characterization a lot.
The gameplay is smoothed over in a way that I think a lot of people might misinterpret to be "making the game easier" but I believe this is only a secondary effect. The original game's difficulty doesn't come from anything that was purposefully made to be difficult, but from the rough edges that were a result of when and how it was developed. Every instance of that I can think of has been completely remedied and it results in the pacing and flow of the game becoming even better than it was before.
There are even little things here and there that have been added that help guide the player. It's kind of interesting because people who have already played the original Ocarina of Time will already know what to do for every single piece of the game, given how extremely faithful it is, and with their expertise this is going to seem a lot easier because they don't have to put up with the relative clunkiness of the original anymore. However, for players that got into Zelda with the Wild era games, the kinds of things that they have changed with the game design remind me a lot of how 3D games originally had to ease people into them. Haters will say it is too handholdy, but you gotta' remember who the handholding is for. It's not for players who have beaten the game over and over again. It's for the newer players who are used to a completely different style of game, much in the way the transition from 2D to 3D was but, paradoxically, it might even be a bigger jump than that. That is to say, it is easier for someone to grow up playing 2D games to transition to 3D games, than it is for someone to grow up playing modern 3D games to go back to an older style of 3D game. Just food for thought.
Anyway, I think it is easy to tell how much I love and respect this game. I had an absolute blast playing it, and because of how much experience I have with the original I never died and never really got stuck. It's a bit hard for me to tell how a new person playing the game would do in that regard, but I can certainly imagine kids especially having an appropriate level of challenge here and I think it is absolutely perfect for that.
That's not to say everything is sunshine and rainbows, though. I haven't given it a perfect score for a reason. There are some extremely minor issues that I think are easy enough to throw away in the grand criticism of things, which is exactly why I ended up giving Resident Evil Requiem a perfect score. However, there are some more glaring issues that, without the rest of the game being as good as it is, would have dropped the score lower for sure.
For one, Sheik is very obviously a woman in this game. I thought that was a really weird decision, but it could have been okay if nobody actually referred to Sheik as a man and it was just supposed to be a mysterious character. Nope, people still refer to Sheik as a guy. It creates a lot of dissonance. They really should have removed the ponytail, given her a bit more of a manly figure, and made sure that the person voicing her didn't obviously sound like a woman trying to make her voice deeper without it sounding unnatural. It feels like all the NPCs know that Sheik is a woman and are just gaslighting Link.
The other major issue happens to be the controls. Now, for the most part it is perfectly serviceable and I obviously was able to play the game well enough to never die. In fact I only ever actually had to use a single red potion. The game controls *fine* but the problem here is how much missed opportunity there was for it. There are buttons that are either unmapped or do the same things as other buttons. The dash and roll are both on A so if you want to dash you have to roll first unless you buffer it from another action and then while you're dashing you can only move the camera around if you switch to claw grip. Thankfully I was able to alleviate that with a custom binding on my right back button. Then you have the awful menu design for switching between things on the fly. It's an exact replica of the one from the Wild games and, while it works for those games because of the sheer amount of stuff you can have with a lot of variety at any given point, it really does not work for a game where you always have a set and ever-growing inventory with a bunch of tools that all do different things. In the original, during the Ganondorf battle I can have the Longshot on C-Up and the Light Arrows on C-Right, but in the remake you are REQUIRED to switch between them using that menu which adds unnecessary pausing to the flow of gameplay, which is ironically what they have tried to avoid with mapping boots, masks, and the Ocarina to the D-Pad. I feel like I could absolutely design a much better system than this. For instance, L and R both bring up that scrolling menu (which doesn't loop, by the way). They could have kept it as L and then made it so pressing L brings up the menu, where you can press R or ZR on an item to equip it to that button. Then, you'd at least have 2 slots for items at any given time. Going one step further, they could have made it a radial menu, or a grid menu, but instead it is this long line that doesn't even have the ability to swap categories. While we're at it, put dash on the left stick press as a toggle because the left stick press does literally nothing in normal gameplay. Also, an option for auto jumping would be nice too because even at the end of the game, my muscle memory would still take over sometimes and I would just run off a cliff instead of jumping manually.
The voice acting is also of varying quality, which I'm sure we're all used to when it comes to Nintendo at this point. There are some good and awkward line deliveries, but honestly it was still serviceable and there were some actors I really liked, for instance the Navi, Nabooru, and Zelda VAs all did a fantastic job.
These few things are stains on an otherwise perfect remake, and it sucks extra bad because I KNOW Nintendo could fix them quite easily but they absolutely will not, they never go back and fix stuff like this. If the rest of the game wasn't as absolutely amazing as it is, it would have a much lower score. Again, they're not game breaking or anything, but they're notable enough to bring up and that's why I can't give it a perfect score.
Playing this was really cool, altogether. I'll admit, I actually cried a little at the ending because I was struck with a really impactful thought. Most of the people who played the original did so when they were a kid. I played it in earnest when I was about as old as Link is in the game, though I had played it a little bit here and there at friends' houses before then and developed a lot of good memories doing so. Now, I have played a remade version as an adult, and got different things out of it than I did back then, but playing it definitely made me feel like a kid again in some ways, especially because I got to pretty much no-life it with a slow work week. Link gets sent to the past to be a child again, and be able to live out his childhood years, though obviously it won't ever be the same because he has all of the knowledge of the journey he had just taken. It got me thinking... that's exactly what this remake is to those of us who played it as a kid, isn't it? As adults, we have been taken back to the past to be a kid again, but with all the knowledge and experience we've gained since then. Ocarina of Time won't ever be the same as it was the first time we played it, but this is as close as you can get to reliving those same feelings. It felt really magical, that realization, and it is something that was done completely as a side effect of recreating a game like this with this exact messaging. Even though your adult life may have taken so many insane twists and turns, and you've got some crazy experiences, and maybe the things you dreamt about as a kid never came to fruition... and you'll never truly be able to relive your childhood... sometimes you can catch glimpses of it and it is very sweet. I don't know if any other game could possibly deliver such a message completely by mistake... it's almost as if the whole thing was setup from the very beginning even though it obviously wasn't. That's just the nature of good storytelling though, I think.
Anyway, yeah. I've rambled enough. The game is so fucking good. Some problems here and there, but I am such a huge fan of it. I'm glad it exists. It reignited my love for Zelda, and I really am happy to see that it is such a generational title. Everyone from Gen X to Gen Alpha now has their own version of Ocarina of Time that they can bond over and I think that is something really amazing, especially for a game that has the kind of messages that Ocarina of Time does. From the original, to the 3DS remake, to the Ship of Harkinian port, and then finally to this full fledged remake... it has always been a labor of love for one of video games' greatest titles, spanning nearly 30 years, and for damn good reason.

the next rpg maker is going to use luau as its main programming language. that's what roblox uses apparently, and it was created by roblox, which is interesting. maybe i'll try to start learning how it works a bit.
it will also support not only runtime plugins, but engine plugins, which i think is the first time rpg maker has let you do something like that. rpg maker mv and mz let you do stuff with your game outside of the engine, but the engine obviously won't recognize any of it. so this is a really cool update.
it's looking promising so far. i'm excited to see the finished product.
