Thanks man!

Also, holy crap. Whoever featured this on the community page...thank you :D
You know, I'm a bit mad at you right now. This video was awesome, why haven't I seen any of these before now?! Stop hiding your greatness from me!

Seriously though, great job. I will subscribe wheb I get a free moment.

You seemed to actually care about what you were talking about, but weren't so serious about it that you couldn't make a few jokes(good jokes by the way). I can't wait to see more, thanks!

Random question: Did you prefer Ocarina or LTTP? I know you did a whole video series on Ocarina, but you seem to say LTTP is the more important one. Or at least more influential

I personally prefer LttP, and was kinda surprised to see someone else acknowledge it's importance. XD I like Ocarina but...I dunno. LttP had a better game feel to me. Is that how you felt?

Kind of a complicated question. I love both of them.

I'm more of a narrative guy, so I admire Ocarina's dedication to theme, tone and telling a huge story. But LttP's gameplay feels very polished, as it's the third top-down 2D Zelda. Nintendo had to experiment with Ocarina, due to the shift to 3D. I think they handled that shift very well, but LttP is more polished.

I think LttP is more influential within nintendo. Ocarina is more influential in the grand scheme of gaming.

I see what ya mean. But I liked how LttP paced itself so the world tells the story for it. It doesn't need much dialogue to convey a strong story and an interesting world.

In repeat playthroughs, I sometimes wanna skip Ocarina's cutcenes. I don't like it when a game suddenly becomes a movie for long periods of time. I felt like things were more interactive in LttP. I like the emphasis on action, it gives the game a brisk pace.

I do however concede that Ocarina has a much better story, no doubt. You certainly had a lot to talk about in yer review.

At least it ain't Metal Gear Solid.

I never got tired of Ocarina's story, but I guess the option to skip cutscenes would be nice.
