Trying out #LegendOfZelda #OcarinaOfTime currently.

The owl is amazing.
Zelda is so goddamn adorable.
And the world's atmosphere seems really heartfelt. Looking at the Hyrule Castle at dusk somehow made me think of Morrowind's colour palette and overall tone.

The controls took a bit of time getting used to, as did the hitboxes of Skulltulas and other enemies, but so far it's a blast!

No way, *he* is the leader of Gerudo?!

I took a longer break from the game than perhaps necessary (lack of focus and will be damned), but I'm back on track with Ocarina of Time! Honestly, the ocarina itself is a wonderful element of the game. It makes me want to take up either it or a harp myself ^^

I mean, when was the last time a game made you interested in learning an instrument?

And not only that, but Saria's song gets additional applause from me for reminding me of the Codec in earlier Metal Gear games. It was fun to use, and so is playing the ocarina here.

@VioletOlya These songs are so special. I bring this remix/interpretation up, my favorite Zelda remix of all time: https://youtu.be/CIXCL5VR9Ho

*harmonica, not harp. Though, the latter does appear in the game later in the hands of Shiek. God, my brain really doesn't want to work.

@VioletOlya Yeah the ocarina is great. Love how it works as a real instrument too.

Just wish the modern games had kept this tradition going…

@CM30 would've been really fun, honestly. It's a nice challenge for the player to learn the instrument and use it effectively. I remember there was a hybrid rhythm game about directing an orchestra, but to my shame I cannot recall what its name is...
@VioletOlya Yeah. And magical spells as songs is genius. That would have been cool to see in the likes of Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom.

@CM30 not only is it cool, but it makes sense from a linguistic perspective, at least in languages derived from Latin. "Incanto" means "I sing" in Latin and is the precursor to words like "incantation", "chant" and the like
