    What happend in those 7 years

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Been a long time since I last played the game, so I quickly looked up OoT's story on Wikipedia.

    Spoilers ahead, of course.

    Link retrieves the three stones and returns to the castle, where he sees Ganondorf pursuing Zelda on horseback. Spotting Link, Zelda throws the Ocarina of Time into the castle moat. After Link retrieves the Ocarina, Zelda telepathically teaches him the "Song of Time", which, combined with the Sacred Stones, allows Link to open the door that leads to the Sacred Realm. Just through the door, Link finds the Master Sword, a magical sword forged to fight evil. As he pulls the Master Sword from its pedestal, Ganondorf appears, having followed Link into the Sacred Realm, and claims the Triforce.

    Seven years later, an older Link awakens in an ethereal room and is met by the elderly sage Rauru. Rauru informs Link that his spirit was sealed for seven years until he was old enough to wield the Master Sword and defeat Ganondorf.

    Also, for the Forest Temple part, just keep looking around and shit. Unless it's not part of the story yet or you haven't gotten a particular item you're always able to go where you're supposed to, no matter how stuck you may seem to be. In other words, if you're in the correct temple then you cannot make a mistake--there's always a path. If it gets too frustrating, www.gamefaqs.com, but that's no fun. :D

    Underrated Game Soundtracks...

    Are you SURE Beyond Good and Evil is underrated? You're not the first person to say so, but I've played it and loved it, many of my friends have played it and loved and even my MOM played it and loved and threw the controller at it because it was too hard for her. I don't think it's that unheard of nor that unpopular. Or maybe the people around me are just especially cool. ^_^

    Child's Play... my thoughts (please share yours)

    The one thing that is kinda cool about Child's Play is that everyone else is donating to the medical stuff. This is giving them something a little different, that otherwise their families wouldn't be able to do.

    Very good point.

    Obviously donating to research facilities and so forth is probably better for hospitals and their patients in the long run, but for the little kids out there who'd like to play a little Mario Galaxy while cooped up in a depressing hospital I think it's a worthy cause for us. Don't get me wrong--I think it'd be great for OCR to donate to the aforementioned disease research facilities (and I'm sure some of us do already)--but considering what Child's Play is targeting (as gamers, something most of us can easily relate to) I also think it's the perfect charity for this sort of community.

    tl;dr -- Other charities are more worthwhile but are also more significantly represented. Child's Play is a good cause, and also better suited for OCR considering the demographic. Those who prefer donating to other charities can still do that, but OCR support for Child's Play would seem logical and beneficial.

    ^I'm one of those guys that (so far) really doesn't care for Temple of the Ocean King. It's fun at first, but after a while it becomes annoying in its repetitiveness, particularly when some of the puzzles turn into childish fetch quests (find triangle, insert triangle into triangle shape hole, remove triangle, take triangle to different floor, insert into different triangle shape hole). Maybe I just haven't enjoyed it because the time limits have forced me to do the same floors multiple times. I'm only about halfway through, however, so I remain optimistic about the whole thing and the rest of the game is fantastic (except maybe the music, but that's another story...).

    Worst Nes Game Has Best Music

    I'm sure some of you have seen this, but just found this little article recently posted at Kotaku.

    http://kotaku.com/gaming/clips/worst-nes-game-evar-has-awesomest-music-316014.php

    Back in the early 1990's, now defunct developer Active Enterprises manufactured 1,500 copies of its never released NES game Cheetahmen II. The dev hoped the three Cheetahmen (Apollo, Aries and Hercules) would be the company's answer to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They weren't. The sequel is bug infested and almost unplayable, but thankfully, the unsold copies were found in a warehouse for us to laugh and point at. According to a GameSpot review, there are enemies that can neither be killer or avoided. However, the soundtrack is SO GREAT!!

    It may be a little hard, but it's worth it to stick around till the end of the first clip. "Who is that boss?!"

    I must say, while the original music has some annoying and highly repetitive bits, some parts really are awesome, particularly for an NES game. "Best ever" is a bit of a stretch, of course, but pretty amusing nonetheless. Some of the Japanese remixes (the other clips) are pretty damn cool too. Eagerly awaiting Cheetahmen II OC remixes! :P
