I have another old Zelda review I written a year and half ago and this is Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. Similar to Breath of the Wild, Ocarina of Time was the series entering a new frontier of gameplay and design. It was the first time the Zelda series went into 3D and would forever change the scope of action RPGs and adventure games. Honestly, this isn't my favorite Zelda title as I always felt its vastly overrated by many. Yes, it's still a great game and a hallmark to gaming as well as the series, but it wasn't that fantastic. Its even weird that its hailed as the best Zelda when the later entries out did it with refining these concepts to better the design in many ways.

A new edition of Alicorn Reviews is up as I will check out the second 2017 special called Movie Magic. The world of EQG expands further as we're introduced to the human counterpart of Daring Do and the movie studio lot. Movie Magic is the classic Scooby Doo hi-jinks episode where the HuMane Seven try to solve a mystery about the relic props disappearances. Three new characters of Canter Zoom, Juniper Montage, and Chestnut Magnifico make their debut who apart of the movie studio lot. If anything thing these specials are actually helping EQG world build as for the last year there was a map that shows many places around this world.
My Little Pony: Movie Magic Review As we still countdown to the one year-anniversary of Breath of the Wild, I do have a review for A Link to the Past on Super NES. Like my other Zelda reviews this was actually posted a year and half ago during E3 2016. A Link to the Past is among my favorite Zelda games as it was here that truly got me into the series. I remember how much awe I was in when this came out in 1992 as Nintendo took the series further. They also refined everything that the original game started from the gameplay to an actual story. It was actually this game where Zelda found a true structure for its series until Nintendo would take a break with Majora's Mask.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Review I'm sure many who frequent this website were a little surprised to see a fresh banner with a brand new logo. I always wanted my cover to come off with that 80s look and feel to it. My name is Retro Gamer obviously and what better way to make my website reflect that then with a 80s style. I hope you the visitors love the new look as I will try to improve this website with more ideas.
We continue counting down to March 3rd of the anniversary of Breath of the Wild as I have an older review to show. A while ago I posted my Zelda II review during E3 2016 when Nintendo had a preview of Breath of the Wild. Zelda II is often considered by both gamers and fans of the series as the black sheep. It stems from Nintendo not using the same style of gameplay from the original and was actually a little difficult. However, what most critics don't get is that at the time there was no standard for the series. On top of that, Zelda II actually progressed the series by introducing many features that would be developed for the later titles years down the line.
The Legend of Zelda II Review A new edition of Retro Corner is and the year anniversary of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is slowly approaching. To countdown to the one year anniversary, I will be re-posting my older reviews related to Zelda that's already been put up on the site. I remember posting the first Zelda review to honor the E3 preview of Breath of the Wild in 2016. It's funny how time flies because first my website opens in May 2016 and now its January 2018. As you have heard many times, the original Zelda for the NES started a legendary series and would establish some innovative features. The Original game might feel very dated (this was 1987 when it released) by today's standards but this is where the series started. A matter fact, Breath of the Wild is actually using the very first Zelda's style as you can literally start any where go anywhere.
The Legend of Zelda (NES) Review A new Equestrian Blog is up and I wanted to take a brief break from Gen 4 to ask a question most don't ask. Whatever happened to Generation II? It's just a topic I rarely see anyone throw around like it never existed. It does seem like a strange case considering MLP was popular in the 80s compared to the 90s. Gen II is diffidently an anomaly but what is it about this era that has me want to discuss it? Well in this editorial I will go over what potentially might be the reason it was an unsuccessful gen.
Why was Generation II Skipped by Hasbro? A new edition of Alicorn Reviews is available as I will tackle the Dance Magic episode from Equestria Girls. There was news of a new EQG episode airing next month and will be a cartoon adaptation of "A Friendship to Remember". The episode will actually be a 45-minute special and will air on Discovery Family on February 17th. Until its release, I wanted to do a three-part review on the 22-minute specials that aired last summer. What I always loved about these specials is the potential the series could've had if Hasbro made EQG a TV show. The theme of Dance Magic is about the HuMane Seven trying to raise money to help repair Camp Everfree. However, Rarity seeing as they are not making money fast enough before the dead line asks the girls to leave it to her. As she realizes how difficult the task is while at the Canterlot Mall, she hears of a dance contest and enters. Rarity while signing up also runs into the Shadow Bolts as they too are entering the contest.
My Little Pony: Dance Magic Review A new edition of Retro Corner is available as I close out this three-part Star Wars review series. In this edition, I will be checking out the Star Wars Trilogy: The Arcade Game released in 1998 and developed by Sega. During the 90s, LucasArts was mainly the developer of most of the series' games, but their were times they licensed to other studios. Sega was among these companies and its understandable as to why they were giving the license and they had experience in developing Light Gun games (Virtua Cop and House of the Dead). If you are unfamiliar with the Light Gun genre, these games puts the player on a set path with the computer moving them on a railing system. As the computer moves the player along automatically, all they do is shoot as many enemies as they can. So how does the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade hold up today? Come on in to find out...
Star Wars Trilogy Arcade Review A new edition of Retro Corner is up as I take a look at another Star Wars game from the Original Extended Universe. Dark Forces released in 1995 and developed by LucasArts takes place during the Original Trilogy. As I mentioned already, Disney's canon is absolute trash with its political agenda, crappy writing, and inconsistency in the plot. The only thing that could wash off the stench is the stories from the Original EU that was actually written with integrity and effort. That is why so many of us are thankful for the Original EU before the Mouse Empire started buying up anything they could. The plot is about a mercenary called Kyle Katarn who's tasked by the rebels to investigate and stop the Empire's new weapon the Dark Trooper. The new weapon is headed by Imperial General Rom Mohc who wishes to use the Dark Troopers to destroy the Rebels.
