You Can Go DOWN into Here?? │ Zelda 2 Remastered Part 7

[@sammyshehole]

I love how they added a mini dungeon of sorts in this version in order to give water back to the town, instead of simply finding water at the fountain.

[@nanoglitch6693]

Man, every little addition like that is just so brilliant and really feels like how it should be or could have been if they had kept the original a bit longer in the dev oven.

[@patyos2]

There’s a lot of new content like mini dungeons like the mini dungeon to get the safety fairy in previous vid

[@KainYusanagi]

@@nanoglitch6693 It wasn't a "keep it a bit longer in the dev oven" scenario back then. Games like these were cutting so much and coming up with ingenious solutions just to fit everything that did make it onto the cartridge.

[@thepolarphantasm2319]

​@@KainYusanagialso it didn't help that Nintendo caught the rough side of a big chip shortage in 87/88... iirc they ended up not being able to get full circulation of AoL until late December 88 or Jan 89 even though it'd been out in Japan for 1.5 years by then

[@patchmoulton5438]

@@klop4228 He converses entirely in 'HYA's, 'HII's and stoic eye blinks (at least in this timeline, Young and Toon Link have their own languages).

@@Ferdig_Vibes At first I thought just the town of Nabooru was "thirsty" as a result of their well being dried up. Old man who restores magic says "How bout that, it's my _special medicine_ " too. But I guess the healers/save points have a different dialog on eastern side of the map, because it's the same for the town north of there.

[@Tailstraw_xD]

That mini dungeon is a lot cooler than "Hero boy go walk 7 feet that way and get me a glass of water >:o"

[@ce4879]

I’m choosing to believe they’re connected though. A 3 wizard cult formed to spite that specific woman who kept bothering them for water so they made that whole dungeon to halt it and force the town to banish the lazy woman. Was Link the true villain by letting her slothful ways win out as the problem resolved itself without her doing anything??

[@ymeynot0405]

@ProJaredPlays! - How has no one made the joke about "KAME HOUSE"? From DBZ. This isn't a spoiler.... the cave that you keep looking for on the mini map is from the Randomizer edition. They added a few extra pathways so that travel isn't so dependent on so few items.

[@amerk6601]

I was wondering if that was the reason.

[@dsproductions19]

19:30 honestly, a map item that reveals secret items of the previous continent is a pretty cool idea, since you probably wouldn't be spending much time there anymore. That's actually quite useful, and the fact that it's in the first town of the second continent makes it hard to kiss. Really cool QoL unlock.

[@zannrazor8569]

“Amazing! I’ll never forget that!” … good night everybody.

[@Arjak2]

Jared's bewildered, awestricken expressions at all the new content give me life. It reminds me of that magical feeling you get when playing a game like Zelda for the first time as a kid, when you have no idea what to expect and each new discovery is a revelation. :D

Shoutouts to all the cool awesome people that don't backseat game or talk shit on the gameplay in the comments. You are the real ones. Everyone else shut the fuck up already lol

[@kyuubinaruto17]

Well, Jerd, be prepared to have your wallet really charged when you find the second half of the map. It's 5000 P. Of course you're right that there's more to that guy later on. The reason it gives you a shortcut warp is to easily get back to him. I don't know if it's actually possible to get that slime by bouncing and using fire, but there's a much, much simpler option with something you don't have yet. As to one thing you've forgotten... LET'S PLAY MONEY MAKING GAME!

[@ObsessiveSting]

Maybe since she is remembering his progress Link is just a really good story teller so she is just so impressed she won't forget ever? Also in the well you didn't try just going west in the water. Also maybe there was further to go where you found the warp place as that was the first thing you tried and that island looked a bit bigger.

[@nanoglitch6693]

I don't think the save lady also doesn't save more than the 1/4th of your xp, just let's you respawn there vs the palace.

[@ObsessiveSting]

@@nanoglitch6693 Maybe if you reload rather than continue after losing all your lives since if saving didn't save your XP that would be kinda annoying.

Catching up on episodes at the moment and reading this comment after seeing that the VERY next episode is, in fact, called "Let's play a MONEY MAKING GAME, Part 8" tells me that either our lives is a divine comedy, or you knew ahead of time. Both are equally funny and well-timed jokes.

Restarting at whatever town you saved at + 25% of your XP is far FAR better than restarting all the way back at North Castle with ZERO XP lol

I must say that as much as I loved the FF Renaissance playthrough, I'm absolutely in love with this playthrough.

[@CasperRush]

This series has been the highlight of my day and I'm all for it

[@GypsyCountMatthewA.Zielinski]

The chicken spell feels like a huge trade off from the fairy spell. You can't fly wherever you want, you take damage, and can't bypass locked doors. I wonder though. If you as a chicken, get hurt multiple times, or down to your last remaining health, could it summon other "cuckoos" to flood the enemy and become a total kill for your benefit?

[@Yeargdribble]

If anything I found that its borderline OP compared to the original. It makes a lot of platforming significantly easier and the hit box is I'd so small that it makes a ton of combat much easier. also, suffice it to say as it is currently in Jared's playthrough it has not reached its ultimate potential. There is much more to it.

[@MogofWar]

​@@Yeargdribble I'm surprised he hasn't thought about seeing how it synergizes with the Fire Spell... Also, I'm guessing the "Spell" spell is either going to be renamed to Polymorph or Prestidigitation, and I think I already know what its synergy with the Fairy spell is. Also, Maybe the Tunder Spell will also have some special synergy.... Because Thunder Cock!

[@pigs18]

@@MogofWar Probably because he hasn't been chicken at full health yet. That was the "ah-ha" moment for me.

Watching you play this game with such enthusiasm is truly therapy for me. The music is bringing me back to my teenage years when I spent endless hours playing on my first Nintendo console. I've been playing Path-of-Exile for the most part of the last 11 years and the music and sounds in it are simply dreadful. So I've been playing without any sound and supplemented those with some music , but that isn't quite as immersive. Keep up the spirits 🙂

[@davidmcgill1000]

Jared completely ignored the type of house he came out of at the end there. Even remarked finding more of them elsewhere.

[@thenonexistinghero]

He seems to be rather blind when it comes to certain things. When he fell down the well and first went to the bottom right, it was pretty obvious that he could also go left beyond the waterfall and he just completely ignored iit and tried climbing up, even after falling down a few times he still didn't notice it. It also amazes me he's so good at fighting enemies when he sucks so much at basic platforming. Fighting them in Zelda 2 requires a lot of precision, yet he can't manage to jump from the very edge of a platform. Well, at least he makes up for it by actually being good at many things. Can't quite say the same for many others when they play something they haven't already played a million times.

[@KainYusanagi]

@@thenonexistinghero Here's a hint: He's actually not that good at fighting enemies, he just uses the exploit that has been in the game since its creation: Jumping crouch stab.

[@cybernoid001]

@@thenonexistinghero not blind as so much forgetful. He mentioned the waterfall but got preoccupied with going up that he forgot to go back and check.

[@thenonexistinghero]

@@cybernoid001 Nah, it's blindness. He mentioned it, then forgot about it and skipped past it multiple times. Normally a player would go there first or after 1 failed attempt. Besides that, I've seen him play some other games and he regularly misses extremely obvious things.

[@thenonexistinghero]

@@KainYusanagi Trash argument. He shields their attacks on-reaction very well and the jumping crouch stab still requires quite a bit of precision (though sometimes he does outright sucks at combat, but everyone has their moments).

[@Nicholas_Steel]

Those flying enemies in the graveyard are very annoying if you don't pay attention to how they move... their movement is influenced by your horizontal movement. They follow you horizontally at a slower speed to you while maintaining their movement pattern. It's best to tackle them by moving in to their range, stand still and letting them come to you.

[@gooberdome]

I'm near the end (Have gotten to the Great Palace) and I am still missing 1 of the 12 Slimes and there is a new place I can't get into and have almost all items in the game.

[@MaliciousRelax]

The area south of the Great Palace with all the walkable water leads to the Dragmire but you can only access that in NG+. The 12 slimes are: 1) at North Castle (jump puzzle) 2) in Parapa palace, 3) ruins north of Ruto, 4) under the bridge south of Saria, 5) first room of the Hammer cave, 6) in the Island palace, 7) at the tip of one of the raft islands (in the video, requires Thunder spell to kill), 8) north of Nabooru (dark forest patch, get attacked there), 9) in Darunia, 10) on Maze Island (visible Ra head statue in the ground, requires "Fairy"), 11) graveyard patch NW of Old Kasuto (western patch just before entering Death Valley, requires Book of Mudora), 12) in 3-Eye Rock palace (hallway with falling blocks, jump up top and exit the right side of the room while on top of the wall to enter a hidden area, it's a block puzzle requiring you to cut blocks on the right to match the formation on the left).
