... The original game already "demanded" BG&E2 would be made. It called for a sequel, because the plot was left unfinished.

That they added new hooks for a prequel on top of it is not really good news to me.

It's Ubisoft, they've been allergic to finishing shit for decades now.

I've never played this. How does it hold up? I don't care about graphics, I'm a patient gamer.

Played it a couple of years ago. It's arcadish, nice, it's artstyle works great to diminish the fact it's very old, but the final boss sucks ass, so I'd just googled a guide for defeating him.

Noted, thank you.

This was an absolutely amazing game when I played the original. The art style is not aiming for realism either so those games tend to hold up well. I would highly recommend picking it up.

Edit: Just checked on steam and it looks like they have added Denuvo DRM. Maybe you can find an old version without it?

It's on GOG. Currently on sale for $3. It's the non-remastered version, but I doubt that will hold people back much.

That sounds like my jam, thanks. Assuming I can get it working on Linux

It might be the best Zelda game of its generation
