Friend, are you weary of talk of blockbuster space-faring RPGs and blockbuster D&D adaptations and blockbusters in general? Do you yearn for the older, simpler days before the great Unrealification and the invention of sex scenes, when people called a spike pit a spike pit, and you could count all the different colours in a screenshot on your fingers? Do you, in fact, reject this framing of retro-styled 2D pixelart games as “older” and “simpler”, regarding it as condescending and false? Look, shut up already. I’m trying to tell you about Isles of Sea and Sky from developers Jason Newman, Dan Collver and Craig Collver.
Oh man this looks amazing. Like it was literally made for me. Have to wait and see if the puzzles are as good as this looks. Love a well made puzzle game with a great aesthetic that has a great story. Granted I haven’t played any Zeldas after Ocarina of Time (well, except the ones on Game Boy/the og DS), so I don’t know how they’ve progressed, but I often wish there were more puzzles and harder puzzles that don’t rely on platforming.
Ooooh you should at least play twilight princess.
You really should.
Oh believe me I’m definitely going to play all of them, just don’t have a way to yet. Super excited about A Link Between Worlds too and even though I said that I look at each and every new Zelda game in awe. Can’t wait to get to them. I’m currently somewhere in the Water Temple in OOT on my first play-through
Oh boy. The hard temple.
Good luck.
You stopped right before Majora’s Mask??
No I haven’t finished Ocarina of Time yet :D
Grew up playing the first three and the Game Boy/GBA ones, later got a second hand DS and played the ones it could run (so no 3DS) and just last year realized I now have a computer that I can emulate OOT and MM on. Once I finish OOT I’m going to dive in on Majora’s Mask.
God I wish I could play Wind Waker though. It runs awful so I guess I’m gonna have to wait though.
Too much Lolo, not enough Zelda.
“What if Zelda was 90% sokoban instead of 10% sokoban?”
That looks very pretty and I’ve added it to my wishlist.
