Starting again! by Mischief Maker 07/30/2018, 4:44pm PDT I learned that VIII was made with Nightmare difficulty in mind and all the lower levels, including "hard," were just various flavors of easy mode. So I started a fresh run on Nightmare and instead of looking at this as a sequel to Oath, I approached it as a generic Zelda clone. Is this game more fun than Ocarina of Time? Fuck yes it is! It's fastfastfastfastfast, even if the combat mechanics are on the simple side and the music is amazing. Plus they followed my rule that if you're gonna use low-tech graphics, at least make it colorful. Exploring Dinosaur island is an absolute joy! From this new perspective I'm enjoying the game a lot. Not everything needs to be Devil May Cry.
