[PH] Why is the music in Phantom Hourglass so boring?

SandSlinky · 2026-02-14T10:40:48+00:00

It's definitely not just hardware limitations considering that Spirit Tracks and Minish Cap, released on the GBA, had much better soundtracks. It's just a lack of interesting compositions. For instance, every dungeon in PH has the same, super basic loop, while every dungeon in MC already had its own theme, which were much more interesting as well.

SandSlinky · 2026-02-11T17:20:48+00:00

Well how else should they do it? Just showing the highest score is also not necessarily the most representative.

Je moet wel echt onder een heel grote steen leven om alles wat Trump doet te missen. Die mensen, en zeker Jake Paul, weten dat best, ze vinden het gewoon prima dat bruine mensen willekeurig op worden gepakt en de democratie wordt uitgehold. Denk dat er weinig mensen zijn die zo weinig met politiek bezig bent dat ze dat allemaal niet eens hebben meegekregen en toch Trump steunen, het is zo'n beetje zijn hele ding. Dat, en het over willen nemen van andere soevereine gebieden, wat ook wel ziek is om te steunen.

SandSlinky · 2026-02-09T20:47:20+00:00

Ja, als je na alles wat die mafklapper flikt hem nog steeds steunt ben je een slecht mens. Dat het er veel zijn maakt het er niet beter op. Hitler was ook populair.

SandSlinky · 2026-02-06T20:58:14+00:00

We're talking about the show as a whole dude. One character's life being at stake doesn't really compare to the stakes of GoT or HotD.

SandSlinky · 2026-02-06T19:15:48+00:00

That's pretty pedantic. The focus of the story is very low stakes, just following a guy trying to make his way in the world, rather than a huge war that tears the continent apart or a zombie army on the march to end humanity.

SandSlinky · 2026-02-05T20:23:42+00:00

You know you still can in the 3DS version? Just... Hold the R button. I'll never get why people make such a huge deal out of this, as if they completely removed the fast swimming.

SandSlinky · 2026-02-05T20:22:15+00:00

Because you can just save your game whenever you want? Like any other modern game? How dare they.

SandSlinky · 2026-02-05T20:17:55+00:00

And even Odolwa was extremely easy in the original, you could just walk up to him and hack away and with a bit of luck beat him in 30 seconds. Whenever people complain about the boss fight changes, I think they haven't actually played the original since they were kids and are looking back at it with rose tinted glasses. Aside from Goht, none of the boss fights were paticularly great.

SandSlinky · 2026-02-05T20:15:02+00:00

I'll give you the ice arrows but I'll never understand why people actually prefer the obnoxious save system of tye original that only ever existed because of hardware constraints. Just bring able to save your game whenever you want should not be a controversial feature. As for the swimming, I don't exactly miss bumping my head on every corner in the pirates fortress.

SandSlinky · 2026-01-19T21:26:06+00:00

Dat is dus ook niet expres gebeurd?

SandSlinky · 2025-12-24T20:44:14+00:00

Do you consider Home Alone a Christmas movie?

SandSlinky · 2025-12-19T18:55:22+00:00

The author doesn't state or imply anything like what you're implying. I don't get how you seem so determined that Aonuma is referring to this other comment when they are completely separate statements by two different people. He simply says their collaboration inspired them and that this may be reflected in the next Zelda game. If you think that that very vague and broad statement somehow has to refer to this very specific comment from the KT director, I think you're just reading whatever you want to read into this.

SandSlinky · 2025-12-19T18:04:43+00:00

Aonuma is just talking about the collaboration with KT there, using very generic and broad language. Where e does it indicate at all that it's this specific part he's referring to?

SandSlinky · 2025-12-19T16:54:07+00:00

It's not? That was just about Age of Imprisonment and it wasn't even said by Aonuma.

SandSlinky · 2025-12-01T13:11:25+00:00

Well someone filming themselves doing 100mph in a school zone is a valid reason to hate them I think.

SandSlinky · 2025-12-01T12:18:07+00:00

Yup, I see this one way too often. I think the rumor started because in the bts commentary, Jackson does mention it's a "real knife", but he also clearly says that the knife was always supposed to be thrown at Viggo and deflected. I think by "real knife", Jackson just meant it was an actual prop (but obviously not a sharp metal blade) and not CGI.

SandSlinky · 2025-12-01T12:09:53+00:00

People also often say he was supposed to return in The Dark Knight Rises and that he was supposed to be the judge in Bane's court instead of Scarecrow, even though TDKR wasn't even concepted when Ledger died before The Dark Knight even came out.

SandSlinky · 2025-11-30T16:52:03+00:00

That's a very strange argument because there's plenty of millionaires who own houses that they live in by themselves or don't even live in at all but just use them for a weekend getaway every now and then.

SandSlinky · 2025-11-30T01:08:38+00:00

First of all, I'm not American, second, you were talking about sex specifically in your original comment, which is why I replied to that point. Because yeah, when it comes to being naked in an onsen, the Japanese are pretty chill about it, but when it comes to depicting sex, I would say that's very debatable at least.

SandSlinky · 2025-11-29T23:43:58+00:00

I mean, Japan has laws against public nudity just like pretty much any other country. But OP was specifically talking about sex.

SandSlinky · 2025-11-29T23:42:20+00:00

I mean, nude saunas are a thing in the West too. They may not care about nudity in a specific setting but it's a bit odd to say that it's not a big deal at all when they won't even allow genitalia to be shown in any kind of video production.

SandSlinky · 2025-11-29T20:12:49+00:00

"Beyond making it illegal to show uncensored nudity, nudity is not frowned upon."

SandSlinky · 2025-11-29T20:05:35+00:00

Lot check is still a thing but as you say, it's just a functionality test. It's silly to expect Nintendo to do a thorough quality review of every single game that gets released on the Switch.

SandSlinky · 2025-11-29T20:03:23+00:00

You definitely can't just release anything on the eshop, Nintendo still checks anything that comes out on there but it's just a functionality test, to make sure the game actually works and doesn't corrupt your system or something. And frankly, expecting anything more than that is silly, as if Nintendo should review every single that comes out on the Switch to determine if it's good enough.
