Favorite Link?

[Newt]

-Ocarina of Time Link (that game had my favorite graphics)
-Twilight Princess (very sharp, although I hated the whole wolf thing)
-and A Link to the Past Link (as close to liking the toons in the series as i'll get)

I hated the wolf thing, too! I would have loved the game more than any other if they'd simply made Twilight Princess a full on Link only game.

Right! Or even be able to switch back and forth from the beginning would have been ok. Not being able to use my sword and shield didn't feel right.

The problem I had with it is I have "expectations" when I purchase a game. I know everyone does, but lemme explain.(You'll probably still say "Yeah. Everyone expects that.") When I buy a game, I expect it to be what it's always been. Small changes are okay to me. As a matter of fact, if they're improvements on previous things the franchise was famous for, I'll likely dig it.

It's when the game decides to be a different genre for no reason that makes me get grumpy.

Being a wolf bummed me out, because I just wanted to be Link. I wanted to run around a sword and cut things. Whenever I had to play as the wolf, it was a chore for me, and I didn't like that.

Kinda like, if you're a Mega Man fan, I wanted to enjoy Mega Man X8. I really did. And seemingly most fans enjoy it, too. But there's like, four maps that are just platformy that don't feel Mega Manish at all.

Or whenever shooters are like "Okay, it's time to drive this vehicle with poorly designed driving mechanics and have an exciting driving scene." I just want to shoot aliens, guys. I don't want to drive a car.
