This Dungeon Just Lies to You │ Zelda's Adventure Demake [GB] Part 2

[@renatocorvaro6924]

Boss of the dungeon legit said "Don't touch my stuff" and Jared actually tried listening. XD

[@CybeastID]

I thought that was a different voice

[@renatocorvaro6924]

@CybeastID In fairness, the game is pretty obtuse

[@gurvmlk]

@@CybeastID It was probably a lot more clear in the original, since all the dialogue was voiced. So you would know right away that it's not the same voice that's been giving you advice.

[@reelequalsreal7323]

Just incase anyone didn't notice, llort is just troll spelled backwards.

[@SBFSachiel]

Lies! He is our Llort and savior!

[@TheDirtbaggrif]

Everybody knows the boss of the Earth Cave is the Lich

[@spockhozzer7207]

Whoa that's quite the coincidence! Or could it have been on purpose?

[@HylianFox3]

Tolemac is also Camelot spelled backwards. The CD-i devs bag of tricks wasn't very deep.

[@mr.needlestan2954]

ATTENTION! IMPORTANT! Again. Save and Continue DOESN'T work. This option breaks the game if you try to continue from the main menu. You can save by using Save and Quit ONLY. So, just use savestates if you want to continue after saving. Guys, give this comment a like, so that Jared could notice.

[@R0D3R1CKV10L3NC3]

Sadly, it's probably a non-issue regardless, given how long ago Jared would have recorded these videos. Either he finished the game in one sitting, got to a stopping point and used save and quit, or already found this out the hard way and either decided/will decide to start over, or will just give up on it when he found/finds out about it. Hopefully it's one of the first two options because I'm enjoying him playing this.

[@disnecessaurorex4908]

any other tips to get this game working? it worked until I needed to use the savestate.. then it couldn't load the save. Tried another emulator and was doing great, but the text became unreadable

[@tiaxanderson9725]

Zelda with her magic wand: "Magic is wasted on you!" *brandishes it like a baseball bat*

[@tljscrewjob6397]

11:23 So you were supposed to open the chest? That’s some next level trolling from a game.

[@renatocorvaro6924]

I mean, the *game* didn't tell you not to open the chest, the *dungeon boss* told you not to open the chest. But the chest being legitimately excited to see you did actually make it feel like a trap.

[@CaptainThief]

Boss's name might as well be "Troll" backwards

[@y2a1979]

Who told you not to be greedy? Did they... have hair? 😃

[@ZenoDLC]

I'm guessing that you have to trust people with hair since the person saying not to trust people with hair is obviously lying. So you are really supposed to not trust people with no hair?

[@guidojacobs2002]

12:27 Oh Llort, she comin'.

[@riemaennchen]

Having all the enemies respawn when you open a menu is such an ingenious feature! Really keeps you on your toes and is totally not unfair at all.

[@AsilarWindsailor]

METAL GEAR

[@Nicholas_Steel]

@@AsilarWindsailor Black holes of doom, invisible to the naked eye!

[@HylianFox3]

Yeah, this game is a little *too* faithful to the original. Some QOL improvements were very much called for.

[@AsilarWindsailor]

@@Nicholas_Steel It took me until now to realize what you meant by that comment but it just hit me hahaha! Exactly!

[@Nicholas_Steel]

@@AsilarWindsailor yeah, I was referring to a bug in the NES game/s. Trigger a booby trap pitfall to start spawning and open the inventory to halt its expansion... then close the inventory and its appearance will reset so you end up with an invisible pitfall of indeterminate size to avoid.

[@GameAlicornLuna]

You can trust the Stalfos enemies because they don't have hair.

[@HylianFox3]

Neither did that treasure chest

[@The_Badseed]

The three CDI Zelda games brought gaming to lofty new heights

[@TJtheEevee]

Isn't being lost and confused just Zelda's Adventure in a nutshell?

[@MetalFriscoDude79]

At least there's music, I don't think it even existed in the original version

[@TigerNightmare]

There was music, but it was mostly reserved for boss battles.

[@Arkanemacht]

so, we have now established that a piece of the triforce is made out of exactly one (1) golden rupee

[@HylianFox3]

That's why it's called the Golden Power

[@tljscrewjob6397]

19:54 That’s one of the few times I’ve seen where enemies are also hindered by pick up items!

[@masteryoraerasante]

Question for anyone who played the cdi version: How much of the supposedly bugs (having to talk to hearts/ruppees, enemies returning when you go to the menu, only sign of hits a sign on one's head) are actually recreation of the cdi experience?

[@Nicholas_Steel]

Most of it is not a part of the CDi experience, this is a true demake where the experience is on par to the CDi in that it's just as bad but in different ways lol.

[@LupinticDream]

​@@Nicholas_Steel At least this version's visuals don't make my eyes bleed + the screen transitions don't last an eternity lmao

[@LupinticDream]

The CDi version is pretty well documented on KZbin

[@DigitalxGamer]

I don't think those are part of the CD-i version if I'm remembering correctly. I believe you can collect things by walking over them and I don't THINK enemies came back when you opened the menu. In fact, I seem to recall that they would STAY dead until you went far enough away or something. And your wand got swung in an arc like LttP and the Oracles. ...But actually, having the hit detection as an icon over their head is kind of an improvement in a way. It was difficult to tell whether your equipped magic was actually doing anything to an enemy or not in the original game. because it's kinda like Mega Man: enemies and bosses will have certain resistances, weaknesses and immunities to different kinds of magic. In the original, an enemy would flash red as long as you were doing ANY kind of damage and blue when they were completely immune to what you were doing to them. In a game without color, this is a good workaround honestly and it's harder to miss. Though it's funny, the map is equally unreliable in this game as it is in the original. It's in a different way, too. In the original, it didn't divide the map into screens or rooms. xD Here, the map is offset and kinda tough to look at, but you CAN use it to see the general layout.

[@KairuHakubi]

the cd-i game just crashed a lot.

[@TigerNightmare]

One of the few amusing things in the original is how the minion warns the boss after you kill him, he's just a disembodied voice without even a corpse on screen.

[@LanEXHikari]

Quite rough, kinda buggy, but somewhat nostalgic. The perfect CDi demake 😂 Anyway, thanks for sharing this game with us, I can't help to remember the oracles games when looking at Zelda

[@guy38853]

The enemies respawning whenever you open a menu could've been left out of this de-make. There's being faithful to the original and then there's just being obnoxious.

[@Slipy61]

Please keep going. This is such a fever dream and I can't stop watching X)

[@milkdribbly]

This music is... great...

[@klop4228]

It's like the Oracle games but even more grating

[@Nicholas_Steel]

@@klop4228 Oracle Fairy Woods music is still by far more grating.

[@Sauce06]

[@tljscrewjob6397]

10:18 Nice AVGN reference with how you pronounced ass! 😂

[@CronosVids]

I’m enjoying this series more than I expected.

[@mostlyghostey]

Honestly loving this game. It's not the greatest but it is a lot of fun!

[@cinnamonofficial8762]

The lack of sound effects I think is on purpose, because the original game couldnt do sound effects and music at the same time. But I have no proof of this so....

[@Shadowfang2k7_NEW]

So if it IS Emulator... swapping the save type should work ^^

[@ApocApocrypha]

"Confused and Lost" the classic CDI Zelda experience.

[@KairuHakubi]

the map looks like a punchcard. Dishonored takes place in Hyrule confirmed that save jank is authentic to the CD-i

[@Zycyzyx]

I don't know if it's just the dungeon music or source accuracy; but this game already has an appropriately oppressive joy-draining vibe going on.

[@daviddamasceno6063]

Gotta be honest... I can't imagine the CD-I version being much worse than this, and if it is that's really impressive!

[@Failedlegend]

Zelda: Finds a piece of the triforce Also Zelda: Sells it

[@karnov27]

the music is fantastic...

[@tljscrewjob6397]

15:30 The saves don’t work?!

[@Tgc_Dave]

Very authentic to the CD-i experience. Most battery backups for the consoles are dying, so saving doesn't work there either, anymore 😂

[@everbran]

So - I guess they just did a gameboy-ify of Zelda’s Adventure and ignored making improvements within the programming that Link’s Awakening gives you.

[@Shadowsamaman]

Seriously. No sound effects, shoddy animations, repetitive music, etc. At least the remasters of the CDi games learned some things from the original games and made improvements. Hell, Arzette did the same as a whole new game

[@WillKeaton]

This game is unfinished, right? Like, this isn't the final version, and more improvements are coming?

[@LupinticDream]

i remember the creator said they were planning on making improvements, but that was a long time ago

[@callak_9974]

No idea, but if its following the cdi programming then it'll still be bad!

[@TheRealCheesemaker]

Good omnious X-Files music in the dungeoun, I have to admit. Also, what happened to the purple dot-pattern on the left side of the screen?

[@tljscrewjob6397]

23:04 Not even Link gets rupees for picking up Dorito pieces! 😮

[@Lore_XiV69]

how did he got boomerang and fire rod

[@tljscrewjob6397]

6:43 The funniest part was Jared’s position wasn’t even hidden like in the LTTP rouge like, just bad map design…I wish Jared would continue the LTTP rouge like. 😢

[@Jinka7]

Did you watch the Livestream on his Livestream channel? He gets much further!

[@tljscrewjob6397]

@@Jinka7 No I haven’t! I just thought it was where he was up to in the Plays channel, but cut into segments. Thank you for the info! 😁

[@joeymusashi3995]

maybe another zelda game i ddont know about this one

[@napoleonfeanor]

Lol your attention span is legendary

[@23Scadu]

I think they actually managed to make it worse than it was on the CD-i.

[@Friekasoid]

Are we still ignoring that Llort ist Troll backwards?

[@marcanthonybattenberg7636]

Yes

[@gurvmlk]

Yes. Because he's clearly a grim reaper, not a troll.

[@pharmcat8484]

This game is ass. Jared loves ass. Jared loves this game.

[@PetiteKero]

The "ASS" at 10:14 was some certified AVGN stuff. :D

[@zubizuva]

Ass and Titus.

[@Malkavian_Grin]

69th like, nice. The cave music really does leave something to be desired compared to the overworld tune.

[@robertjenkins6132]

Hey Jared, I developed a regular expression for 4-letter versions of your name: J[ɜeiou]rd It matches Jɜrd, Jerd, Jord, Jird, Jurd. [ɜ] is the IPA symbol for the vowel in "bird". I imagine that this is how Jerd, Jird, and Jurd are pronounced. ("Jord" is pronounced something like /dʒɔɹd/).

[@PetiteKero]

You gotta love reading about IPA under a Let's Play video. 💜

[@KairuHakubi]

You're a real N[ɜeiou]rd (and that's cool)

[@darkman4811]

I'm gonna guess that Jared is going to drop this game like a bad habit about half way through the playthrough, and if he does, I don't really blame him. Although this has been mildly entertaining so far, this game looks very unfun to play.

[@alkristopher]

I've beaten it and can verify how much of a huge pain it is.

[@sheakennedy-ordway1156]

Tellin' me you'd rather play this than D&D. Eye of the Beholder GBA ain't that bad, you just need to get familiar with the setup and interface.

[@BonesAlexander]

Is this the Dark Souls of Zelda? xD

[@Nicholas_Steel]

Tests boomerang against new enemies, finds it doesn't work, gives up on trying things against new enemy. Despite him not having the required weapon at the time, it would've still been *wise* to try all you had on you to deduce you were missing something to reduce the potential for backtracking.

[@HylianFox3]

I remember Jared's frustration with feeding Glutko "something spicy" and never even tried using a bomb.

[@TheDirtbaggrif]

Ok, so yeah this game kinda sucks, but I want to shout out the creator for the work

[@ksonss]

BONK!

[@tljscrewjob6397]

1:16 What is that where the enemies respawn if you open a map?! 😂

[@MerickBJG]

This game is truly Ass, there had gotta be better zelda hacks out there to play

[@callak_9974]

Well its sorta a Zelda fan game? But its a demake of a bad licensed Zelda game.

[@MerickBJG]

@@callak_9974 Well this I know lol, but there are better

[@magitek09]

Ok, take back what I said before, this game is clearly not finish

[@AgaricRook]

"So Zelda, why are you seeking the triforce pieces?" "Do you know how much those things are worth?!"

[@tljscrewjob6397]

21:45 Zelda vs the grim reaper!

[@zannrazor8569]

First?

[@thequestingbunny]

XD

[@WildArmACF]

oh no. next is the festival

[@Feiqn]

Yes

[@juliaskalla3979]

Still better than the new Zelda game that they just came out with

[@DoCKathos]

Oh. My god. This game is so bad lol.

[@TheDBZIcon]

Comment for algorithm:)

[@JaredWhiter]

I think you should hang this game up. It's been mildly entertaining because...well zelda. No sound effects or even enemy knockback makes all combat lack any impact at all, and the respawning enemies when opening the menu is really annoying.

[@jeffreybasker5810]

The music is really really bad. It's hard to listen to this game.

[@MattKimura]

This game is pretty terrible. I don't even want it in my collection of hacks.

[@chriscollins1097]

Why are you playing this garbage and not a real game, like say, Eye of the Beholder on GBA?
