We have nostalgia for literally everything posted on this board, Anon. That Nostalgia evens out and averages eventually to be a non-issue, and yet we still like LttP. You haven't fully fleshed out your position. It's more nuanced than you're giving it credit for.

Nostalgia is the best thing about /vr/. It's what makes games feel magical. People should feel envious that they have nostalgia and memories associated with any given game. That means they enjoyed it and it means a lot more to them than it ever can to you. It shouldn't be a dirty word.
>>
>>2785054
I think many of us play old games not because of nostalgia, but as "lets play all those games I wanted to play but couldnt when I was a kid".

Having a hacked wii is like being the son of a millionaire in 1995.

on topic
The only music that makes me teary is the music of the ending of Yoshis Island, a game I dont even like, although I think it is genius in its art design.
It just gives me a Mary Poppins vibe of being a little kid and knowing you will never see again someone who took care of you.

Thanks for sharing. Would you happen to know how to get the full album? Artist says "free download on soundcloud" but there isn't any way to get it https://soundcloud.com/jeremiah-sun/sets/link-awakening-orchestral-arrangement

I know about soundcloud downloaders but I doubt they keep the quality untouched. Sounds a bit stupid to claim free download without making it available.

You have to be logged in to soundcloud, go to the guy's page, scroll all the way down. The last track, track 70, is what you need. When you hold the mouse over it, it should give you four buttons. The last button is download. Just right click and save as.

As someone who has no nostalgia for ALttP, you're right. It's the weakest Zelda prior to WW overall and does a number of really stupid things that degrade the experience, along side have some of the least memorable world design in the series.

Irrevelant. I've got no nostalgia either, yet I got a different opinio, saying things like this only perpetuate the idea that nostalgia makes old games good.

I say its the best one because it got the best overworld, it was amazing on the exploration aspect, and argueably the best music of the series. Its only problem was the dungeon aesthetics, which was bricks, caves, bricks & caves.

Iconic. Seiken Densetsu altogether had some great music. This following song played at the first "point of no return" I experienced in a game. I saved inside the Mana Sanctuary and was stuck with the depressing finality of the ending. Sword of Mana is one of the very best.

I remember how big of an accomplishment it was to defeat the Johto league gyms and finally find myself on the way to the Elite Four. When I arrived and that man told me I took my first steps into Kanto, the region I had conquered about a year prior, I felt like my hard work had actually meant something.

The same goes for the ending credits theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU263Ud3LM4
It just makes you feel like a winner and gives a sense of closure when you hear it.

Both songs bring me back to a time when all I had to worry about was where to find the next Pokemon and how I'd get there.
I really wish I could play the game for the first time again. Exploring the region and seeing all those new Pokemon for the first time was really magical to me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3204TAJ9USI

God this just takes me back. It's the perfect theme that celebrates being a child and sitting at the N64 for hours with friends and siblings playing yelling and having a grand time. It celebrates a childlike innocence and fun that gaming had for me, the best memories I really have of being a kid involve nostalgia and videogames.

Growing up sucks, losing innocence sucks. I want to go back. It's so comfy in my nostalgia. I miss those cold winter nights in pajamas playing Mario Party with my brothers, trying not to make too much noise so we don't wake mom and dad because we had school the next day.
