A new game has joined the NES Nintendo Switch Online service which is free to access if you are a member of Nintendo’s Switch online offering. It is the original The Legend of Zelda but with a twist and is titled The Legend of Zelda – Living the life of luxury! From the description below it’s the perfect way for newcomers to experience the classic game.
This is pretty cool ngl. If this is nintendos plan for some nes games well now they have my attention lol
I don’t really like it instead because I love to start the game with normal difficult
So much for hoping it was the 2D Breath of the Wild prototype…
To be fair, that wasn’t really a game. There wasn’t a goal to reach, and it was just a demo to showcase the physics engine
I’m not educated on this, but I’m curious to know, how did a 2d top-down demo showcase the physics engine for a 3d game? Thanks in advance for any explanation.
Breath of the Wild is applauded for what they call the “alchemy system”. It relates to how all the things in the world interact with one another.
Say a fire sword will keep Link warm in cold environments, while also being able to cook an apple if it’s put close to it on the ground, or maybe set fire to some grass – which in turn may set fire to more grass – which will cause a gust of hot air which you can use to fly using a paraglider.
This is what you can simulate using an NES-like game. Things affecting other things.
Hopefully some of the “variants” cater to making things more challenging as well as ones like this.
Nice! I’ve never played it before so, this looks like a good place to start! I was hopeing they’d add a map though.
I hope they do more of those “new versions” of games,that’s interesting
The idea of new versions is interesting, but that’s not what this is. This is a cheat code. You’re only cheating yourself if this is the way you play a masterpiece.
Original Zelda is annoying. Imo. Mostly the enemies. Map and exploration was cool tho but if rather play any later Zelda game over original Zelda.
Do you actually have a reason? Other than “Mostly the enemies” which communicates nothing?
Hm ya. The areas in the dungeon will be small spaces with various enemies that move quite randomly. They are very annoy to either hit or to not touch. Sometimes when I had low life id just cheese it and hang by the door where enemies like the bats were programmed to not go and pick them off from afar if I could. I just hate the enemies in the dungeons. They are only ever annoying in the first game. Imo
I think the technical term is called New Game+ that you can start right off the bat.
Id rather these unique versions of classics get added to some physical compilation down the line rather then having them only available like this which will inevitably doom them to un-accessible obscurity, same goes for the 3D Classics on 3DS.
Immediately, the SNES remake of the original Zelda comes to mind, only having been available on the SNES internet service in japan.
+1 for the reference to BS Zelda. It’s actually a pretty good comparison too as that game is inaccessible almost 30 years later outside of piracy just like this version might be years down the road.
A digitally exclusive Nintendo game (and future for that matter) is very scary considering how their digital storefronts barely last a decade.

I guess that’s cool. I could see how it’d be disheartening to wander into Lynel and ghost territory, stumble onto the magic sword, and then wonder why you can’t pick it up.
I mean… that kind of mystery and challenge is more rewarding imo but I get how some people might not want that kind of experience.
If you can’t beat Ganon legitimately, you deserve to be crushed by his forces and let darkness run rampant across Hyrule.
