I do not understand why people keep asking about FF Resonance, that game could have been called anything else and I suspect nobody would have paid any attention to it, it feels like the most whatever ass JRPG I've played in years, I played through the demo, didn't think anything of the characters and Narrative, uninstalled it and then saw people talk about it online like it's a GOTY contender.
Sure it would be somebody's cuppa tea, but I do not understand what people are seeing in it that I didn't see.
First off Max loving these blind play throughs, they are the most genuine going on here and would really love to see more. Also I am sure it has been mentioned in the comments but this was still the era of instruction booklets, so running and throwing bombs etc would have been in the instruction booklets where as now it would be told to you in game which I think people forget. Would absolutely love you to play Links awaking as that’s my favourite game of all time.
6:46:00 Nah, Ocarina of Time is very similar to ALTTP.
ALTTP, LA, OoT, OoS, ALBW are mostly the Zeldas using this formula.
Minish Cap, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and SS are similar but they actually feel a lot more Puzzle oriented, instead of exploration oriented.
Basically Miyamoto Era games are more combat and exploration oriented, Aonuma Era games are Puzzle oriented with almost no secrets to find on the overworlds compared to the Miyamoto ones.
And the Fujibayashi games are more sandbox, Zelda 1 inspired, but with a lot of Skyrim and Minecraft trown in.
33:30 funny he made a comment about fanboys a few minutes earlier and wants forgiveness for having a hundred systems plugged in, presumably because just because you are a fan. Just use an emulator sir, it's ok if you have the cartridges, cds, no one will flame you for it, no one with a working brain that is.
I just beat the game for the first time as well. 27 deaths. Didnt need a guide, but I feel like a I got super lucky, just stumbled on a shitload of secrets and stuff.
This game has all the elements that make for a truly masterful Zelda experience. Rupees actually fill a function since you need recovery items, optional secret tools offer new gameplay mechanics, bosses are just hard enough, enemies blend perfectly with the environment, dungeons are extremely well designed and still offer variety, the stakes are high throughout and particularly for an early 90's game.
7:59:49 This reminds me of the one spot in Super Metroid where you transition into Lower Brinstar but you know to bomb walls ro see what weapons open those areas. In that section you need the super missiles. Nintendo gives you juuust enough information to traverse with what you have, but let go of your hand to see if you can figure it out. By this point of the game and your previous knowledge of otheer dungeons, Nintendo encourages you to refer to your map. This also tied some loose ends Zelda 1 had with secret areas. Also GGs loved this playthrough
Have you ever played the gem: "Secret of Mana" on SNES? Best action RPG from Square Enix in my opinion, and almost similiar epic vibe as Zelda ALTP. Would highly recommend it. And dont get fooled. Seiken Densetsu / Secret of Mana 2/3 isnt the best.. Its Secret of Mana.
If I could make a suggestion of next old school game to play I'd say you need to try Yoshi's Island on the SNES. It's technically a sequel to Mario World but my god is the game amazing! Probably my favorite 2d "Mario" game. It's so good that every time a yoshi game is announced I get disappointed cause it doesn't look or play like the original.

Metroid Prime is the perfect recreation of the ideal 2D Metroid formula in a 3D space.
Max you gotta go through the original 3 God of wars

A Link to the Past was transformative and man this unlocked the gamer in me.
Then Ocarina came out…As a 10 year old kid that shit was 🤯 🤯
Yep Link to the past is 11/10 game for sure. Imagine play this in the 90s as a pre or early teen. this game is the Grandfather of adventure action
I wish they honestly would remake this game in the style they are doing OoT. This is the most underrated Zelda game ever.
Great game and I hope you enjoyed it! I hope you continue to play these old school games in the future and people don't ruin it for you.
Play the Dragon Quest VII Reimagined too. It’s very fun and great.
going 8 or so ganon fights before falling is pretty slick honestly.

Max not understanding shield strafing even after chat explained it is killing me…
Some games are beyond 10/10

Turns out the Gossip Shop is the Dark World equivalent of the Blacksmith's.
26:23 More people should try this out. Too much I'm seeing people just looking for what sucks instead of trying to have fun.
2:14:39 agreed JJ is the puzzle god😁👍👍
1:49:37 Zelda starts
2:00:13 father daughter time!😊😊😊
max really needed page 15 of the original manual
Being a Dad is so cool ❤😂🎉😊
Great play thru. For me it was undoubtedly the game that made me a gamer. I love it still. Off to run it once again before OOT remake. 👍

5:33:21 never heard that one before
Going to miss the adventures of Pimpy (Lord of the Links)

6:45:46 worst take Max has ever had. OoT is the exact structure of ALttP. It being 3D doesn't change that fact my guy. 3 pendants, MS, 6 sages, Ganon.
Watching Max learn how to defeat the final boss naturally was so enjoyable!!! Backseaters need to learn to chill
You should play Breath of the wild
I hope Max does a 100% playthrough of Alundra in a future stream 😁
