Oh, absolutely. Games that give your character a musical instrument to play are automatically that much better if you actually play the notes yourself. And at least the ocarina songs in Link's Awakening sound like the melodies you get them from.
@dodec The oracle of ages ones just aren't... interesting music like at all
they're extremely bland, the kind of things you learn if you're brand new to an instrument and just learning scales
which i guess makes sense since link's presumably never played a harp before but come on

@dodec Oh yeah the oracle games are really good, kinda perfected the 2D zelda formula arguably? though minish cap is definitely also really good... perfected in another direction, that one, I think. the later 2d zeldas (phantom hourglass, spirit tracks, a link between worlds) just seem to be missing something that those have

@dodec We've played it! it's not bad but i think minish cap and the oracle games do 2d zelda better, honestly
-F
@dodec having capcom do another zelda would be pretty excellent honestly

I'd like them to get on friendly terms with Platinum so we get another Ōkami, too.
@dodec We still need to get Ōkamiden sometime....

@Felthry
If you haven't tried Link Between Worlds, I recommend it. It works like a streamlined version of the formula, and I found I didn't really miss the stuff it left out.
