The reason the CDI controller was so bad is because it wasn't meant to for video games. The CDI was designed for video and educational programs. There's another CDI remote for video games.

[@ConsarnitTokkori]

i actually got to use both once the #gamer remote was better than the spoon, but only really in the same way that a green sewer looks better than a brown sewer

[@SwissArmyTin]

There's two game controllers, a 3-button one styled after the Genesis and a 4 button one that iirc is an OEM'd Gravis Gamepad for PCs (which is actually a really good controller). AVGN mocked this one for having the stick in the middle of the D-pad, not knowing you can unscrew it.

[@nitroglycerific9295]

I love that there's not a single trace of irony in this game. You can feel the love for the source material at every turn.

[@djdexcat]

You know, it's funny. Some terrible games for a forgotten console laid dormant for many years. Then one day, youths with editing software and a surreal sense of humor got their hands on their cutscenes... And then suddenly an insignificant footnote of gaming history became the center of the internet's attention. Those terrible CD-i games, in defiance of all logic and reason, have transcended into something _more._ Something that, to varying extents, has helped shape us into who we are today. Such a specific chain of events makes me think of the Butterfly Effect. A seemingly insignificant event having enduring effects that nobody could have possibly predicted. Something to think about when you're working on a project yourself; Even if there's no immediate reaction, even if you never become known for it, your work _can_ make an impact on the world.

[@ZacharyDietze]

I think the best part about all this is that they actually got some of the people who voiced the characters and animated the scenes back to make the game, and from what I've seen so far they looked like they were having a blast. It's a shame they weren't able to get everybody, but bringing in soundalikes and people like Vinny help to accommodate for that. We need wholesome stuff like this in gaming more often.

[@apieceoftoast768]

It does feel like we're the alternate timeline in which CDI games got popular.

[@cactuss33ds]

Makes me think about how many other pieces of media are just...out there. Completely forgotten and abandoned. Games that could have a profound impact on what you put out into the world, movies that could change your life if you could just find out about them. Music that would inspire you beyond anything you've ever known! If you could just discover that it even exists. Quality aside, the CD-I games inspired a generation of people and completely altered the trajectory of some of their lives.

[@BreakdancePeach]

If anything, this just makes me wonder what garbage that came out in 2020 is going to become memes for kids 20 years from now.

[@KOTEBANAROT]

Its not just any garbage that people obsess over - nobody ever remembers the third zelda cdi game, even tho its also bad. I think those two games in particular hit the sweet spot between good and bad that people cant easily rate on a 10-point IGN scale. It has to be compelling, have potential. I saw it with Sonic 06 - people kept saying that Sonic boom rise of lyric is just as terrible, but literally nobody cares about it - we have Project06, but no ProjectBoom. So i think its really interesting how some things just put a hook in ya no matter how bad they are.

[@garfieif8187]

The creator was born with a curse: a genuine affection for the CD-i Zelda games. Rather than suffer in silence, he instead turned this curse into a blessing, for only his purity of heart could forge a true successor. In all seriousness, Arzette only works because he genuinely likes two games that virtually everyone else hated. If anyone else had attempted this project, then it would have just been a shallow parody. He personally gave us more YTP material, and in turn, he got us all thinking about the actual good qualities those games had. Good qualities like the music, the painted backgrounds, the sprites, even a lot of the gameplay ideas weren't actually bad.

[@gregvs.theworld451]

@@absentcoder4552 Maybe, that could be cool, but I'm also kind of a sucker for a zero to hero story. It feels like we'd be in for more protagonist character development if the lazy, wisecracking Dail who doesn't want to do anything dangerous has to save Arzette and maybe Wogram, maybe we could get flashbacks or some other insight as to why Dail was one of the two heroes who stopped Daimur the first time, maybe he's always had some courage in him and he just needs to remind himself how to step up to the call of duty and adventure. In most of Arzette's npc interactions, she's happy to help and raring to go, it might be neat to see a character that starts a game as "Do I have to fight? I want to play my lute and sit in my hammock!" to "I will vanquish you foul evil!" by the end. Minor spoilers I suppose, but there is a secret end credits cutscene for 100% that suggests there is another evil in Faramore and that a sequel is possible.

[@KOTEBANAROT]

I really grew to like dail a lot but then i do love foppish cowardly characters, and dail is like a merge of cdi link and linebeck

[@gregvs.theworld451]

@@KOTEBANAROT What I'm saying. I love how the characters in this game have some good lines and defined personality. Not only would it be a good homage to the second Zelda CDI game, but keeping with the character's personality it'd be neat to see Dail earn his right to be the hero of the next adventure. I feel like cutscenes would be really interesting from a character development standpoint, especially if there was a shift of him being more like Dail at the start of the game, to more brave and heroic like Arzette by the time he has to stop the evil bad person (Of course by then he'd be all suped up with power ups and stuff.). Maybe give him the wisecracking hero type thing where he'll bravely fight evil, but always have witty wisecracks to throw at them too.

I've also heard that plate armor only became a thing in the first place because they needed something strong enough to protect them from guns in particular.

[@halo7oo]

@@stevethepocket Not entirely true, but the development of guns definitely sped-up armor development (and eventually invalidated armor as a whole). Full plate armor was an improvement to the coat-of-plates, and had more to do with advancements in metallurgy and craftsmanship, already becoming common before mass adoption of firearms. Though fun fact, some armor-smiths would shoot a "proof bullet" at a breastplate they made and put it on display.

There's something about the cutscene at 17:28 that has a unique charm to it unlike all the others.

It kind of reminds me of Worthikids' animations, though I couldn't find any confirmation that they were involved with this game.

It’s a pretty common technique. I also noticed how jerky the animations were. Begs the question why they couldn’t just get a video of their friends acting it out to rotoscope.

[@JimmyDPooper]

@@munkledinks8732 That was the scene I animated (alongside the previous beacon lighting scene).

It's a shame they didn't just do the sidescroller Yooka Laylee first, that one was actually good but hardly anyone played it because the first was such a letdown.

[@Santoryu90]

Weird comparison that game was fine

[@WorldWalker128]

I think what's funny about the corrupt duke image is that he's on his hands and knees on the floor, and he's been sentenced to hard labor. This implies that he's scrubbing all the floors in the kingdom. Then when you actually start the game, sure enough, "Ten *years* of scrubbing floors!" - I've been watching Zelda-CDi ytps for over a decade, now. Seeing this game's animated and voice-acted sequences feels like I've stepped into another dimension where Instead of The two CDi-Zelda games we got this instead. It feels so WEIRD.

[@This-Was-Sparta]

Wow this is so much better I ever thought it would be. The animations, voice acting, graphics... they're all absolutely spot on.

"Duke Nodelki" contains an anagram of "Onkled" with an 'i' at the end like how Kris in Deltarune is an anagram from "Frisk" with the F removed. Duke Onkled is directly from the Link CD-i game.

Know what’s hilarious. The game actually gives you a way to deal with that exact thing. You get a magic shield (infinite use) that blocks all projectiles. You just can’t jump while using it, and you move slower.
