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.

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 Welcome to a new edition of Retro Corner and we continue counting down to March 3rd of the anniversary of Breath of the Wild. Just like I did for the first Zelda I posted my Zelda II review during E3 2016 when Nintendo had a preview of BOFW. Zelda II is often considered by both gamers and fans of the series that the black sheep. It stems from Nintendo not using the same style of gameplay as the original and was actually difficult. However, the critics don't understanding 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 later.
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 edition of Retro Corner is up as I finish 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 well does the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade play 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.
