Unpopular opinion. Game boy advance emulators are much better than game boy advances.

I want you to give me a good reason why this game is bad. I like both games, so I don't need to fight why which is better. They are both good at what they do best.
They both have a story and great game play that make the game fun.

I thought I had said you had to at least back up why you're opinion is the opinion you choose and fight for it in a proper manner. You can't just say "LegEWND uF zalDO is shAT". You have to say why you think your opinion is one to follow. Suck the opinion onto others, make people want to agree with you. You, on the other hand, make me think you are a 12 year old kid who just finished all their vegetables and got permission from their mom to have an extra hour of computer time. And if you're 12, you're aren't supposed to have an account anyway.

Unpopular opinion: I can't believe the UK voted in the Tories AGAIN because now poor people will become poorer, our healthcare is going to die, sex education will no longer be compulsory which could very well send the teen pregnancy further soaring, and I would still have to pay £9k a year in university fees.

Labour should have won, and if anything goes dramatically wrong with the Tories then I'm literally out of here.

I don't think anyone is happy with this election. Leftists are butt blasted because of the loss and that Ed Milibanter isn't PM, and the Green Party got blown the fuck out. The right wing is anally annihilated because they had to vote safely for the Conservatives so that Labour doesn't win. I'm (insert butthurt variation) because the SNP got 1.5 mil votes and 56 seats while UKIP got 3.8 mil votes and only one fucking seat, and because Farage resigned. Well I'm not really upset at the SNP, I just think UKIP should have more seats then them but that lack of representation is nuts.

Unpopular Opinion: UKIP should have won more seats, the UK should leave the EU, and Scotland should leave the UK.

The game was the first 3D Zelda game for its time, if you look at how it was back in alpha/beta then you'll find that it was a much worse idea. The game also used most of the hardware's limitations and was pretty unique in a sense. While it wasn't the ideal Zelda game, it was definitely revolutionary and really set the tone for all of the future Zelda titles, with the storyline and such.

Ocarina of Time IS generally overrated. I don't think I'd rather play with monkey scrotum though.

The problem is it's not how many votes they get overall, it's how many constituencies they won in. UKIP won in 1 place while Farage didn't even win his own seat.

I think both Green and UKIP should have had more seats - what is ONE person going to do sat in the House of Commons? I totally agree it is lack of representation. As "awful" as UKIP are, I do think they had some really good plans in their manifesto, particularly regarding immigration: Tackling sham marriages and having an Australian-style system would be beneficial.

Perhaps if Labour had a stronger leader, they would have won. And I'm sick of the people that complained about David Cameron and then decided to vote him back in, or didn't vote at all.

I can understand why it is so revolutionary, but people say it is the pinnacle of gaming when it really isn't anymore. Nobody likes taking off the Nostalgia goggles. The game is not that good anymore. it aged terribly and no one wants to admit it.

Those are all opinions, and I guess this is a thread about opinions. As long as you know those aren't fact.

What I'm saying in response to you is my opinion. If you are easily offended, go then just don't read.

1. I thought the story was pretty generic if you ask me. I don't really care about story as much as I care about game play. Must be why I like Mario so much.
2. I thought the controls where fine if you ask me. My opinion though.
3. What else do you expect from an RPG? Do you want every enemy in the game to be a boss battle? Every Zelda game is like this.
4. Cool. Then every 3D Zelda game isn't for you. Go ahead and play 2D Zelda. I play both, and both are good IMO. So I don't mind.
5. What? Do you need a Luigi guide in ever game? Zelda isn't exactly an easy game you know.
6. I completely understand the frustration of boring and easy final boss battles. *cough* SMB3 *cough*
7. Save Zelda. I just saved you .5% of that brain power you're supposed to use to figure that out.
8. Oh the humanity. I can't remember "do do do do do do do do do do do dah dah dah dah dah. do dah do dah". This game is 0/10 too much shitty musi-FUCK YOU.

The timing for #FirstWorldProblems couldn't have been much better. While someone brings up the more serious issue of politics, the thread also has an argument about a video game.

To be fair, MarioLuigiToadandToad has a point. People need to be more tolerant of opinions they disagree with and people who are offended shouldn't be the ones to end the free speech of others causing the offence to the offended. Noone should retract their opinion if what they said cause offence to those that need to grow a thicker skin unless if said opinion is objectively slanderous (as in, lies that cannot be positively proved, statements made specifically to cause harm to others, and statements made without adequate research into the truthfulness of the statement). As such, I fail to see the hypocrisy of that statement MarioLuigiToadandToad made.

9. #FirstWorldProblems
1. Here's a start, if you have the ability to travel back in time before ganondorf destroyed the kingdom, WHY DONT YOU DO IT!?? ZELDA KNOWS HE ISNT THE BEST PERSON IN HYRULE SO WHAT IS STOPPING THEM TO AT THE VERY LEAST ARREST HIM?!?
3. Well at least in most RPGs the variations in enemies are at least present.
4. Nah, I loved wind walker because there was stuff in the world as well as majoras mask because the OVERWORLD IS INTERESTING.
5. WHAT I SAID WAS THAT THE BOSSES WERE TOO FUCKING PREDICTABLE YOU IGNROANT LITTLE TURD FART. Before you make a counter argument, at least understand what I am arguing in the first place.
6. Thank you for agreeing with me there.
7. It's so hard to distinguish stupid bomb chests that tell you how to use bombs and breaks the pace of the game and important items like the golden gauntlets. THEY ARENT EVEN IN A BIG CHEST. THEY ARE JUST SITTING IN A TINY CHEST IN A SIDE ROOM IN GANONS TOWER.
8. I said most, Lost woods, Forest temple and gerudo Valley are my jams.
9. YEAH ALRIGHT I AM KINDA SICK OF WAITING TO GET TO THE OTHER WORLD. BECAUSE SWITCHING WORLDS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY MASTERED IN A LINK TO THE PAST (A GAME BEFORE THIS "PINNACLE OF GAMING"). WHY SHOULD I SETTLE FOR LESS?

And yeah, I'm a little salty. That's because everyone has a nostalgia-gasim when talking and or reviewing this game because it was groundbreaking at the time. The original Zelda was ground breaking too, have a free roaming world that could be explored and do things out of order, yet that game gets terrible scores because people took off the nostalgia goggles. WHY HAVENT PEOPLE DONE THAT WITH OCARINA OF TIME?

Link can only go through a 7 year time period - When he became the Hero of Time & he got the Ocarina of Time.

also, this was the first 3d zelda game, of course there is going to be errors.
