Emulation is the way to go.

Epona's controls were the first thing I didn't like. The camera fought me later on though.

I agree with him. No matter which platform you'll play as long as the game is accessible and playable, then I don't see any problem. Although playing a game on a console can give you a nostalgic/satisfying experience; emulators are also good if you're not one for collecting consoles or doesn't have the access to the said console.

I grew up with the Wii version and playing the HD version is weird. Like I think that the action is fine but like it seems so... Rushed. Like its just upscaled and bloom was added. I like it, but I also own the GameCube version and THAT version I beat.

Omg the way you create and combine words is enchanting.

9:36 made my day. Probably even a week :D

it just work ;]

Short conclusion. Emulators are incredible for playing extint games and enhancing a game to create the best way to play possible, plus they are way more acesable, but stay legal kids. And the original consolesare like a rlic of the past, can be nostalgic or just the best way to play, plus nothing hits like playing ya childhood game on the original hardware

The art style to me age poorly all washed out sorry I love this game fourth best to me but man I hate the way it looks

Some people see TP as a rehash of OoT, but for me, it's closer to "Twilight Princess is to Ocarina as Ocarina is to LTTP." Yeah sure, it plays out in a similar way, but it's got a far more involved story, a more entertaining companion, fancier dungeons, bigger bosses, cooler items with more features, and "interludes" that feel like epic setpiece moments instead of uneventful diversions. ...Well, for the most part anyway. I mean in OoT, you walk to a nearby cave, pick up some blue fire in a bottle, thaw out a single Zora, and later hear that "don't worry bro the other ones'll like... thaw out later." In Twilight Princess, you trek back to death mountain, teleport a giant pillar of freshly erupted lava rock through a sky portal, drop it in, and watch an entire frozen river roar back to life and cascade down the cliff. That's what the identity of this game is to me. Zelda Plus Ultra.

Drinking game: take a sip every time you hear "stick"

as a lefty i dont really have anything to say i just want to mention that i am a lefty

Having first played the wii version, but later playing the GameCube version, I've got to say i agree that gc is the "best" version.

Man you and me are on the same vibe with this stuff. A lot of older games have a lot more fun value in them than people are aware of because they focus on the the things that haven't aged. 90% of Zelda 1 is fun and functional.

I never knew they were different arrangements (or instrument swaps) based on the theme of the boss. I always assumed it was just the transition into it that was distinct.

Collect consoles and pickup flash carts or ODE’s. official games on official hardware. No clutter and only expensive upfront but not expensive at all compared to cost of games. Emulation just isn’t the same as playing with the original hardware, it’s a whole vibe.

This is basically Link's theme overpowering the boss' own, as they've been stunned.

Idk if this was in the original but I kept falling through the wood bridge in the village map when I dove with water

They could never make me hate twilight princess

each time I remember nintendont made this game a limited release I feel less badd about pirating

ive only played the gamecube version

Best video I saw on YT about the analog sticks. All other I watched it's so shallow, just "impressions", no real tests. I have this 8bitdo hall effect stick and I love it. It's the best one GCN style I ever bought it, and I bought it more than 5 times through the years. About the RalphNet adapter, as far as I know, he don't do it anymore, and even if that's untrue, the GCN controller still missing buttons, so it's not really a valid option for me. I have a Retro Fighter 64 controller too, but I don't like it too much.

Dolphin needs retroarchivments

You don't like because you cannot understand video games. That's to be it.

9:02 Nintendo why did you not fix that for the Nintendo switch online I hope Nintendo Updates Nintendo Switch Online and removes the bad looking blurriness also I like 3D all stars

4 years.

I grew up poor. I played this on my aunt's gamecube without a memory card. I could write a 100% walkthrough from memory

Mister FPGA!!!

The selections weren't great.

my favorite version of them has to be Fyrus. the bass

My biggest enemy with emulators is the input latency. Even with the right settings, plenty of emulators I've used that aren't RetroArch have enough input lag to make me want to stop playing (usually close to quarter-second). I really hope the people behind those emulators keep working to minimize latency.

My first Zelda I played was Breath of the Wild and I hated it because of the garbage console that the Switch is. But now I came back and I am quite enjoying the game. Time to watch the movie about the series I know almost nothing about and I dont care about 😅

Emulation: 🪱 Console: 🍆 Decompilation: 🌳

The screen crunch ruins the game for me. I can't deal. Not being able to see all the beautiful set design (especially on Yoshi's Island) and having your character so large on the screen... yuck. SMB3 on Advance is worth it, and I can deal with SMB2 because of the enhancements but the others are not worth the loss.

It’s always been difficult as a lefty to live in a right handed world. I adapted and learned over the course of 45 years in gaming to use everything right handed. Even with keyboard and mouse, a keyboard is built for right handers, there are no mice for left handers and the ones that are available are ambidextrous.

I first played Mario 64 on a emulator with a keyboard, I got very accustomed to that feel. Years later I had played it again with an analog stick, while I think it was 'better', It felt awkward and messed up my movement.

I found a patch for the twilight menu on 3ds where you can use the circle pad on Mario 64 DS using the Twilight Menu. It makes the game awesome, it adds 360 analog movement and plays very well. I highly recommend looking into it.

PS3 CFW say what?

I like the past reflection of you going, "I was an idiot for not noticing this." That's what i do when i think about the time i first played Link to the Past. I was born in the early 2000s, and later on, i played it on the SNES at my grandmas house. For one, i couldn't get the controls down forever. Having A be B and B be A really threw me off. Also, i was just really bad at the gameplay. I legit had to use the previous save file to get past the castle. Then it took me like 12 weekends of staying at my grandma's house to beat the first dungeon. After that, I was trying to figure out what to do next. Didn't help that my map on the cartridge didn't work, so i was looking at the pendants on a green screen. Then i finally realized i could just look up a guide for the game online. Kinda ruined some things, but I found my fair share of secrets on my own. But hoenslty, there are some things in older games where i just go, "How the hell was i supposed to figure that out?"(i.e., random generic blocks to destroy in NES Zelda or Metorid for upgrades). I was able to redeem myself by playing through Metorid Prime with no guides. Though granted, i was 20 when i did that. Tunic definitely sounds like a fun game to go through. Slowly with pen and paper nearby. Don't worry, I'll probably forget all the screts you talked about in this video. So i should go in mostly blind

It honestly seems like Zelda Twilight Princess was the last game that allowed the player to achieve heroic feats in many ways through generosity, helpfulness, saving the helpless, and vanquishing evil. There is also a lot of esoteric knowledge in the game with the mirror, the twilight realm, and the divine beast prophecy. The mirror points toward the obsidian mirror. The twilight realm points towards a dark realm from many cultures. The divine beast prophecy points toward the white tiger prophecy in which the dark realm feared the white tiger because the tiger meant wrathful righteousness and heroism. There are so many hidden details and secrets in Zelda Twilight Princess that it is simply amazing.

Is there any equivalent mode to making games look like this with PCSX2?

32 - bit 3d games look awful these days. Emulators like Duckstation make PS1 games look like ps2 or Dreamcast games!

My introduction to Zelda was that my mom used to play A Link to the Past, and Ocarina of Time. She introduced it to dad and they played Majoras Mask, and OoT before I was born. They played it when I was a baby, and in 2006 when Twilight princess was released, I remember watching them play through it and witness their love for it. I picked it up myself a few years later, since I was so scared to play it alone (I was 6/7). It was so much fun, and I sort of took over their passion when they both grew too ill to play it. Then Skyward Sword came around, and I loved that one too. looking back, I can't truly decide which I like the most. I've managed to play all the games by now, and I still stand between TP or SS. They're the ones I've played the most, and both are great in their own way, and since I grew up with motion controls, I didn't really struggle with the whole wave to swing sword like my parents did. If I had to choose, I believe that TP is the peak <3

I think I agree with pretty much every point in this video - This is my favourite zelda game and i personally think the wii version will always be my favourite but gamecube is arguably the best overall. The loading screens and item select are the big things for me.

I abandoned consoles 100% in 2017 and switched to PC gaming because I was just tired of buying 2 or even 3 consoles every 5 years. That and well to avoid this 2:14, yikes. Now I just have one PC for gaming (both modern and retro through emulation) hooked up to my big screen. With Sony and MS releasing many of their titles on PC nowadays, I'm not missing much outside Nintendo and the only game I would sorely miss with them if they ever release a new one is Punchout. Overall, I'm very happy with my decision with no regrets.

Have you tried the "Color Correction" feature? An emulated gamma of ~2.35 should make the experience closer to CRT TVs.

Yoooo! Mad props for the Frogger theme from Ps1 at the outro there.

Winlator better

Since I didn't hear you mention it, did you know that Twilight Princess actually DID have a magic meter that was scrapped super late in development? It's why the magic armor runs on rupees instead. There's a screenshot on the back of the Gamecube edition's box (I think) with a meter under Link's hearts, and there's a couple spots in the game where you can coerce a yellow Chuchu and a blue Chuchu to fuse into a green Chuchu, which drops a green Chu jelly that does absolutely nothing when consumed.

37:20 Worth noting, but Ganondorf had still murdered the Great Deku Tree, was forcibly starving the Gorons, and had infected Jabu Jabu with Barinade by the time Link meets Zelda in OoT, so just revealing those atrocities would have been enough to get him sentenced to death.
