THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: WAND OF GAMELON REVIEW

 


A few days before, I uploaded a review after playing my first ever CDi Zelda game, “Faces of Evil”. Of course I played the remastered version, created for the PC which fixes a few of the problems the original had.

To be specific the remastered version has:

1. More polished graphics

2. Better controls (You can use a pc or an xbox controller and configure the controls of the game).

3. Unlimited continues, making death less annoying than the original game.

4. A hintbox method you have on your controller, so you will never be misguided.

5. A hero’s mode that you can play after finishing the Quest in Normal mode.

 

To be fair I can’t say many things that I liked or disliked, like I do to most of my reviews just because, Wand of Gamelon was the exact same game with Faces of Evil, with a few differences here and there.

If you want to know my likes and dislikes on this game visit this link (https://greeklinkscorner.blogspot.com/2021/01/legend-of-zelda-faces-of-evil-review.html)

 

So what I want to say in this review, may be an unpopular opinion.

Well here it goes…

I kind of enjoyed the CDi Zelda games. There I said it.

They are casual sidescrollers, trying to expand the lore of the fantasy world by 1993 standards. Yes, they are the worst games of the franchise, but they can be finished in 1 or 2 hours. So it’s not like you spent 30 or 40 hours questing for something that awful.

I really think that hating on those games is just a trend, because I actually enjoyed having a drink and finishing those games in one sitting and I will try the Hero’s mode in the future.

Closing, I would like to say, that in today’s gaming we have Grand Quests that can be finished in hundreds of hours like Breath of the Wild or even Age of Calamity, but for a gamer in his late 20s – like me – or in his 30s, it’s really fun to take a trip to the past and play some games, that remind you what Questing in a fantasy land – even at a bad fantasy game as the CDi Zelda games – used to be in the simpler days.

 

At the end of the game, my Quest Log was looking like:

6 Hearts

27 Deaths

Sword: Magic Sword Lv2

Shield: Mirror Shield

Items: Ropes, Bread, Bombs, Power Glove, Flute, Fairy Latern, Magic Cape, Latern Oil, Wand of Gamelon, Bottle

Treasure: Arpagos Egg, Arpagos Feather, Fairy Dust, Hanyu Spore, Heat Crystal, Cloak

Rupees: 411

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: DAWN AND DUSK REVIEW

Εικόνα
  I finished the Ocarina of Time romhack-expansion Loz: Dawn and Dusk and I can say it was good. Not "Missing Link"-kind of good, but good overall.   First I wanna say things I liked about it: 1. The textures were well-made, the music covered nicely the whole eerie atmosphere of this new country and its dark history. 2. I loved the intro of the game explaining the story of this new land and its amazing artwork. It made me want to find out more about this land. I always liked Zelda games that were taking place in other lands and countries except Hyrule, making me to want to learn about this place and its inhabidants. 3. The Red Cavern Dungeon was really challenging and thought out by the creators. I really enjoyed it and got frustrated at the same time. Although its boss can be killed in one hit, but I can live with that. 4. There were nice puzzles all over the land, which were optional. You can finish the whole game without getting all the heart pieces, the metal

ZELDA-CEBO #1: BLUE FIRE REVIEW

Εικόνα
  Hello fellow Zelda fans. Long time no read. I’d like to introduce you to this new section of my blog, “Zelda-cebo” which is a placebo treatment for us Zelda fans that want to play some Zelda inspired games since we may have finished every Zelda game out there (official or mod). So the first episode of “Zelda-cebo” will introduce you to a 2021 game that I had the opportunity to play and finish recently, named “Blue Fire”. So what is “Blue Fire”? It’s a fast-paced, action adventure platform, puzzle, dark fantasy, game. In more simple words it’s a game that you would take if you combined Zelda, Hollow Knight and Dark Souls. As far as the story goes Blue Fire takes place in the desolate kingdom of Penumbra, a land consumed by dark forces. The kingdom was once a prosperous land, but has been overrun by malevolent force and it’s up to our hero to save his world. Now as always let’s get into my review about the things I liked and the things that I would change about the game.
