You have a good start, I personally found the title cards cheesy. Like you took mark browns video game box art shtick and put it on a parchment text box. Slick, but kinda cheesy. Still gotta give you props for making something. Though I think the title leans too far into clickbate. You spend the first 3/4 of the video explaining the immense impact the game had before then rightfully criticizing the heart mechanic. Feels like you miss the mark. Maybe “Zelda has a Heart problem” etc. would fit more with the actual tone. Since you are new I don’t mind so much, but I would just immediately click off a larger channel if they are claiming to have a spicy take and then never deliver.
Thank you for the feedback. The thumbnails have been a pretty big complaint and i'm glad people are being so forward. Im going to work really hard to not make these mistakes again.
Thank you SOOO much. That means a lot especially in the beginning when there is a lot of stress as to if I am going about this in the right way. I hope I take my subscribers and I to the TOP! 😂😂
Yeah I do wanna agree with this, amd I AM HERE even I'd I was a bit critical on this one, it still worth more che kin out for me So try to relax man😅 Cuz I know it is hard REMEMBER: You can't please everyone you will ALWAYS have a much bigger jerk then me down here. Don't let that shit stop you. Just make sure you're doing this cuz it's ur passion(and I can kinds tell) and not just ykno becoming an "influencer" lol Hey man, I really am rooting for you ✌️🫶 Take it easy, that tat is bangin too yo, jealous. PSA: cats do not eat light bulbs:D
You have to watch out for that. Yeah I mean he even said he's someone from, ghost games. It's bigger. For sure, sometimes they have to branch off for specifics
I think you only need to up your thumbnail game, the quality of your videos is great tho, but dont get confy, keep finding ways to improve and you could crack the code. Good job!
great video, but..... cringe-worthy clickbait title. i mean, it worked, i watched it because of the title thinking i was going to get to listen to some jerk expound on his jerkiness, and instead got a thoughtful critique on one of my favorite games.... but if you had called the video "A thoughtful critique on the design of The Legend of Zelda" i would have still clicked on it, and i wouldnt have felt.... cheated.
Yeah my main focus for next videos is to decrease the clickbait. I have been on the internet my entire life so I have always thought of clickbait as being the solution to everything, but after creating some content I realized that I needed to be thinking more about how this content makes people feel. I'm going to work harder on making sure people perceive my stuff how I want them too!
@@TheGhostyGamesI agree with Ragnar. Why don't you just change the title and thumb-nail to align? I subbed as well, but your content here is good enough to not have this click-bait.
I want to be able to look back at past mistakes and always remember them. I might end up changing if its super necessary but I like to be able to see the improvement.
Thank you so much! that gives me a lot more confidence to keep going so that means ALOT. We tried to nail the quality on these first four as much as possible so its amazing to see people like them!😅😂
Just because you can't use an ability without full health in the first game, writing the game design of such an incredible and old franchise that has the sharpest and cleverest designs, sucks in the title and is possibly bad in the thumbnail is simply wrong and annoying even if you say you don't think so and say so in the video😅. Beside that, it was great seeing that analysis of exploration in games.
What would you propose as fix of "after death, only 3 hearts replenished". All of them? That completely takes away meaning of game death. Instead of avoiding it, you would incorporate it to game strategy. Oh, I have low hearts, I could try to play better, or find better armor, or bring health potions with me or.. nah, just straight suicide and voila, better than ever. THAT would ruin the game mechanics. So, I found three hearts and beginning quite a sweet spot, not punishing you with complete game over (that I hate), but not giving you any reward either.
With stuff like this I would say that there is no "fix". In fact I wouldn't change that aspect of this game for the life of me. The main point that I was exploring is how certain aspects of a game can conflict with the generic rules that we immediately think of today. Sadly today I bet the solution would in fact be to just let the player die on purpose and replenish hearts which is equally problematic. I guess I am saying that my "fix" would be to keep the game mechanic how it is just adjust the curve a bit. In later dungeons its nearly impossible to get enough hearts to fill your health. But your totally right just allowing players to die and come back would be DUMB!!!😂😂
It sounds like your point is that players should be punished for dying (I agree), but they are punished for dying. You're sent all the way back to the start of the dungeon/overworld and have to fight those same enemies again. They still have to play better to reach the goal. This game's a little older than I am and you have to remember pretty much everyone that played games when this was released was a kid. The last 2 dungeons get pretty difficult. If a kid was having a tough time getting through a dungeon with 14 hearts, they're probably not going to take out a room full of Darknuts and Wizzrobes with 3 of them. So that's why I think it would be better to restore you to full health after the game over.
I would agree with you if it wasn’t so easy to lose your hearts and so difficult to replenish them, or if you weren’t already punished by being sent back to the start of the overworld/dungeon and having to fight everything again. Plus, it makes the sword beam so rarely available that it might as well not exist by the time you get to the last three dungeons.
Unlike most people here I was actually looking forward to watching you tear this game apart. I’m a zoomer who started gaming during the PS2/GameCube era, and this game goes against basically everything I’ve been accustomed to as a child. And because of this, I’ve gotten into one too many arguments with nostalgic zelda fans who *were* accustomed to it and felt the need to defend it. Sorry, but it’s not my fault I was born in the stupid generation. I can’t just magically grow the same nostalgia everyone else has.
Your definitely not wrong about what you don't like about the game! Don't let people with nostalgia blindness tell you differently. Games age poorly its just a fact, but the fact that you gave this game a chance PROVES your not stupid! I will listen to a zoomer (WHO ACTUALLY TRIES STUFF) talk about why an old game is worse, over a millennial or boomer (WHO WONT EVEN TRY A NEWER TITLE) any day! I love that you were brave enough to leave a comment like this!
Pretty good video, but like everyone else is saying you should probably change the thumbnail and title, throughout the video I had the feeling someone had hacked your channel and changed the title or something. One like "the design of the first Zelda" would be better
Thank you for the feedback! I'm not sure yet if I will outright change the title and thumbnail. I kind of like having the visual of improving and if I "fix" the problem, then I lose the ability to look back at what was awful. But I might have to if you guys truly think it's necessary.
And lets not forget the original roguelikes... like Rogue for instance. =P Or if you want an example that lots of people actually played, Moria. These were games of exploration and character progression that predate Legend of Zelda.
In my opinion, open world games lose alot of the focus and pacing that more linear games have. Dark Souls struck an interesting balance and so did Zelda Ocarina of Time.
It’s very difficult for something to feel guided and open at the same time! I definitely think that the balance is what caused Zelda OOT and dark souls to be so amazing.
the problem with the heart system is how it scales with sword beams. this sort of formula reminds me of breath of fire 2 with ryu's dragon system where full damage is based off full AP and the problem is that as he levels up, he gains more AP thereby making it harder to fully restore it when he uses a dragon ability which uses up all AP. now the full heart system for sword beams or other abilities such as TP's great spin is a case of intrusive progression because there is no way to reverse the upgrade (although subverted in zelda 1's second quest where you can surrender 3 heart containers, but it is a permanent choice). botw and tears did have the scaling heart problem as well, however some fixes were made: hearts can be traded or sold at the horned statue and you can get them back whenever. cooking can also allow for temporary hearts and sword beam length and other weapons can be affected by the number of hearts.
@@TheGhostyGames to be fair, i argue alttp was worse in how it handled sword beams. damage never scales during upgrades and the three heart run is naturally impossible. link's awakening (8 bit) also had this problem as well where 3 heart runs were impossible however ironically the remake adding more heart containers can lead to the health scaling issue. oracles did have the rings that allowed for early sword beams and other modifiers and the minish cap had the peril beam. skyward sword's mechanic had the charge time and ironically it was broken in hero mode because it carried over. so yeah, i think botw and tears handled it the best because you can remove the heart containers but also use temporary hearts for increased beam distance.
Yeah this was the first video I narrated so I bet its showing through quite a bit. I have some ideas on how to improve my inflection but we'll see if that actually pans out.😅😂
:| i did not see myself here. I was just gonna say stop tage baiting and dip, but commend the early ones man, hell i might be one, but srsly seeing like 3 comments from this is like woah man this guy might be doing smtg worth ppls time. So ill put this on my list idk i can finish rn but im givin you a chance man, sounds like you might be real quality👍✌️✌️
Thank you for giving me the time that means a lot. I am super new to what works and what doesn't so hearing actual feedback is amazing. And yeah the "rage baiting" will definitely end here! (I had never heard that term before today). I might even change the thumbnail to this video if that's the feedback!😅😂
Even cats named Zelda need rescuing from someone with a Master Sword.
This is my favorite comment by far!😂😂

The entire history of text adventure games preceding Zelda have entered the chat
Oh my goodness I didn’t even factor in how those impacted the industry! NEW VIDEO IDEA😂😂😂
You just brought back the memory of Leisure Suit Larry.

This is the second video of yours I'm watching and I am impressed! I couldn't believe that you had only 125 followers! Keep it up man!
Thank you so much for watching my videos! I definitely plan on getting better and better so I’m glad people are already on board!
why did you kill Faendal, he did nothing wrong, you could've just let him go
He needed to be stopped. He violated the law. He refused to pay his fine or serve his sentence. His stolen goods needed to be forfeit...
when do you start talking about how zelda sucks?
Yeah the thumbnail was a bit misleading😂 Sorry if you were disappointed!
