Which version /v/?
>>338157863
DX hands down
I played both, love em both. Easily my favorite Zelda.
>>338157863
>DX
kill yourself, you're just as bad as the Pokemon XD faggots
There's literally no reason to play the original besides glitches.
>>338158175
Shit, we're in for some ebin memes it looks like.
>>338157863
I love the original one. So much variety with only 4 colors.
>>338157863
DX no question.
Using glitches is cheating and only PC gamers are scum enough to cheat.
>he needs colors to play his game
>he is a rawr DXXXX faggot
LEL
black white german version has the superior dialogue
>>338157863
Haven't played either, but left looks really cozy.
I've always thought the colours looked bad in DX.
>>338158175
You tried just a little too hard on that one anon
>>338157863
they're both so good, and while I like the DX extra content, the color dungeon red/blue tunic treasure makes a very easy game even easier.
LA is wonderful, but it would have benefited vastly by a few very minor changes:
> get rid of inventory shuffling bullshit
> addition of double/triple/whatever damage Hero Mode
> dungeon treasure rooms not unlocked by grabbing heart container so 3-heart challenge possible
>>338160404
Right has an extra dungeon/item.
The only thing holding this game back is the slow and obnoxious text speed.
>>338161694
Hey, but I'm just a kid.
all zelda games are repetitive boring shit.
>tfw getting the Gameboy color Christmas 1998
>Experiencing colors on a handheld portable for the first time
>Playing Tetris in full blown color
shit blew my mind as a child. Nevar forget
Today kids could just use their fucking allowance money and buy an old used android phone and play their colored games that way. It would also have a camera and a backlight. fuck them for not appreciating our technology
>>338159618
fucking kek
>>338162027
stop being jaded, grampa.
I like the original for for the sequence breaking.
Vests in DX felt like easy mode.
>>338157863
>DX
Back to /reddit/
>>338162027
I had a Game Gear and thought the Gameboy Color looked like shit.
>>338162667
how did you bring it out to the playground with you?
>>338157863
Original because it isn't censored.
>>338161052
In my opinion the biggest problem with the game is that the trading sequence is mandatory. It would be fine as just a means to the end of some extra reward, but it's way too arcane for something that's arbitrarily necessary at multiple points in the game. Like the point where you need to get Marin to sing to the walrus that's blocking your path, which is made perfectly obvious by interacting with the walrus itself and by talking to everybody in the animal village, and yet for no adequately explored reason it's impossible to actually go and get Marin until you give the bear the honeycomb. And that's not even mentioning the fact that by this point it's possible to have Marin's song on the ocarina.
>>338162970
You mean the Japanese version with the hippo tits and mermaid's bikini top?
>>338158175
>DX
reddit is that way
>>338162970
Just patch the uncensored version to a DX ROM and inject it into a GB cartridge or your 3DS.
EZ PC.

>le ebin "artist's original vision" meme
I only played DXon a GBP :(
DX
>>338162667
I remember that one kid on the playground who had one. Looked so badass, but none of us had one. It didn't have pokemon, or tetris, or mario, the trade off was just too much. Wasnt it more expensive too?
>>338165074
is that retroarch?
>>338165212
Yea and it had shit battery life and was uncomfortable. I had one that I kept at my grandparents' house hooked to a portable power supply so batteries weren't an issue. I preferred my GBC much more.
>touching a pot when you don't have the power bracelet equipped
fuck everything.
those acorns were pointless and annoying too.
other than that and the constant item switching it's a great game.
>>338165447
yes

>>338161052
this game would so benefit from a remake with the additional buttons. Maybe even take the ALBW approach and only take the base game as an inspiration instead of "just" remaking
>>338165561
>touching a pot when you don't have the power bracelet equipped
Of all the things they could've fixed in the DX version. The power bracelets in general were fucking annoying when the main overworld map required you to use them multiple times to get to one area.
>>338157863
DX, there is really no reason to play the original.
It's the same fucking game but prettier and more accessible.
People who stand by the original are nostalgiafags
>>338162667
this
Great game but I remember being hopelessly stuck a few times. I played it when I was 9. First time I got stuck was in the dungeon of faces because I couldn't notice the obvious as fuck arrow pointing towards an un-cracked wall that has to be blown up.
Second time I got stuck was fighting the Windfish without a boomerang.
How did we figure out that throwing a pot at a door opened it?
>>338167016
Videogame logic. Something that is lost in this era.
>>338167165
It wasn't really "logic" so much as "try everything possible until something works".

Swedish autist speedrunner.
Everytime LA is ran at a *GDQ he's sitting in the audience talking about how horrible the trading sequence is
>>338167998
Deluxe.
Link's Awakening was the first game I ever beat. I was so excited when I finally took down that last boss.
Ending always left me feeling weird though. Link's out in the middle of the fucking ocean with a crashed ship, and they never explain how he survives.
>>338168187
I always felt like he was unconsoius the whole time and finally waking up.
>>338168187
Link is a hero chosen by the goddesses. It's magic, I ain't gotta explain shit.

>>338167652
Too bad the Minish Cap one wasn't a real dungeon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwTiFnpc2Dw
>>338168378
It's called "Link's Awakening" because the main game is a dream.
>>338169116
Yeah but he's floating in the sea the entire time, so it's not that bad but rather a good thing he's still there and not drowned.
>>338165897
Thanks anon, you din't disappoint.
All these songs and no Ballad of the Wind Fish?

I need to play MC again. The overworld is so compact and nice.
>>338157863
I'm actually retarded, I only played DX but I did it on the giant brick gameboy and never realized it was a full-color game until right now.
>>338165074
Scanlines dont look like that, I'm looking at my GBC right now.
>>338171339
welcome to everyone who uses filters
>>338171448
That's quite the generalization, sport.
>>338171339
gbc doesn't have scanlines, it's an lcd screen.
>>338171871
Anti-shader faggots BTFO.
>>338166141
The best thing about the original is honestly the glitches you can do. Using the select+warp glitch can totally mess up the game and create some interesting results, like that one video where the select glitch beats the game in 5 minutes or less. It also saves some tedious puzzle solving if you are just going along for the ride.
>>338161869
What's that? What's a START button? Beats me!
>>338172130
One of the favourite things you could do with that glitch was warp the Fisherman NPC off-screen, talk to him and get warped to a glitched map similar to the Doghouse glitch.

This man. Shit as a kid/pre internet in general was nothing but fucking trial and error.
Awakening is the best 2d zelda. DX all the way.

GB screens all had LCD screen-door to varying extents, not CRT scanlines.
>>338173760
that was bullshit
>>338173515
Why can't we like both? Fucking french people.
>>338173760
Eagle's Tower and Turtle Rock, so the last two dungeons, were casual filters in and of themselves
>>338173760
I completed that puzzle on accident on my first try. It really sucked on my second playthrough, though.
>>338173760
Isn't there an owl statue that gives you a hint about this?
Too bad you probably don't know the names of these enemies.
>>338157863
I started with the original, but if there's an option to avoid playing the game on what looks like an ancient papyrus scroll, I'll take it.
>>338173760
I got stuck here for months until I found an used issue of Nintendo Power with the solution.
>>338174285
What was so hard about Eagle's Tower?
>>338174461
The clay tablet in the dungeon says something like, "First, destroy the imprisoned Pol's Voice. Last, the Stalfos..."
The manual had the enemy names.
>>338174575
It can be quite difficult to navigate, and figure out where to bring the iron balls.

OT: I prefer DX, played the original and then a few years later dx and dx is honestly much nicer to look at plus the additional stuff is nice too.
you wanna hear some deepest lore? In the second dungeon there's 1 more key that you don't need for any locks. I always wondered what that was about.
awakening was my first zelda game yet it isn't my favourite
I think it was because collecting those damn seashells took so long.
>>338175575
You can dupe infinite shells using the screen-warp glitch. For real.
>>338175179
>In the second dungeon there's 1 more key that you don't need for any locks.
It's actually the third one.
>I always wondered what that was about.
Because it's theKey Cavern.
>>338175179
>In the second dungeon there's 1 more key that you don't need for any locks. I always wondered what that was about.
the devs gave you that key in case you were curious about the other locked rooms. you once get to a spot with 4 locked doors and only one lets you advance. the other doors just lead to rooms with a key if you beat some enemies.
so you can explore every single room and still have one key left which finds no use
>>338167823
I would really prefer if you would be quiet.
>>338169680
He's lucky a shark didn't eat his ass lmao
>>338173760
I figured this out (and the rest of the game) completely on my own when I was just 8 years old. You faggots ever gonna get on my level or what?
>>338174461
>>338174731
I didn't even know the names but I still figured it out. Goddard I'm awesome. I was 8 you dumb neo v cucks.
>>338158175
Oh god damnit.
>>338157863
DX for better and more solid gameplay.
Original is fun for the glitches.
