Everything random from Straw Hat Pirates to Kamen Rider and Sailor Moon. High heels, leather and the color black. Japan in all forms. From NES to Wii. The magic of Ghibli & Disney. Players of magical Tennis. The Empire strikes back and Moriarty was real. 007.
I think that people who complain about people who bitch about Ocarina of Time’s Water Temple need to understand that the game was released way back in 1998. The standards for videogames were totally different back then.
Sure, the Water Temple is a piece of cake now, 14 years later (however I still sometimes end up forgetting that one small key…). But back then we were around 8 year old kids with no previous experience of the kind of gameplay that OoT had. And let’s not forget that frustration of iron boots on/off-mess. I remember spending months in that temple trying to figure out what the hell I had to do next (also, I didn’t understand english back then so it was pretty much trial and error for me) and it was incredibly frustrating, yet so so so much fun as well.
I believe this is why Water Temple has become so iconic.
When it comes to Zelda Wii U, I kinda hope they won’t use the graphics they used in the E3 demo. Not that it wasn’t beautiful, but I’d really, really like to see a completely new design of Link.
