Message: [QUOTE="Dingalow, post: 162772, member: 37110"] I'm not coming from this with the perspective of "people who play this way are normie casuals, not real gamers like me". There are plenty of beginner friendly games I enjoy like the Mario or Kirby games. Legend of Zelda isn't even beginner unfriendly, though, considering a lot of kids in the 80s played it just fine, and it might have even been a lot of people's first game. It eases players fairly gently into the more difficult or cryptic stuff (i.e. making earlier dungeons easier to find than later ones and allocating harder enemies in the farther reaches of the map). Honestly, I think this romhack is more interesting for people like me who have played this game a lot and this would be quite a novel experience. It just annoys the crap out of me when people clutch to the "it's easier to be more accessible to disabled players!" when not only is it blatantly not. It's hardly respectful to their intelligence or capabilities to completely cripple the game on their behalf. All this would do for them is completely remove the pillar for the game's experience. Why even play it at that point? If the point of the game is the thrill of exploration and that whole aspect is removed then disabled and casual players are just given a game with no purpose that doesn't inspire any kind of minfulness on their part. It's not like the dungeons or the combat is anything to write home about, they're completely simplified for a reason. And I know for a fact that most disabled players hate this idea that games have to handhold them the entire way through in order to be accessible. I've seen many speak out against it under the same logic that able-bodied or non-neurologically impaired players (mainly journalists) are insisting that hard games are inaccessible, specifically, to disabled players. I'm not exactly against this rom hack existing. Like I said, it's kind of a novel hack for people like me that have played this game to death. New players should not start here, though. It's not the same experience as just exploring Hyrule and being overjoyed every time you find a cave or dungeon. Quite frankly, it's a good idea for a romhack but it should not be an option for casual/beginner players. Anyone that just doesn't want to explore in a game all about exploring should just play something else. Options like this shouldn't exist because it doesn't benefit anyone. It just rewards lazy players, rather than easing in casual/beginner players [/QUOTE]
