We're talking about visuals here, m8.

It's the fact that everything must come to an end and how people begin to realize it as the game progresses iirc. It's not necessarily dark, but it's way more sad than the remake can hope to express with its art style.

Only zoomers call it dark to pretend they lived in the 90s. Game was always called lighthearted and charming when I was a kid.

I don't give a fuck what anyone says, Groose made Skyward Sword the funniest Zelda. Didn't have much else going for it but it had that.

the windfish lives to dream again and when he does Koholint will return. If link had not dispelled the nightmares this would not be the case. The ending is bitter sweet at most but ultimately uplifting.

i grew up with it
the game was mostly weird fun but dungeon themes legit got spooky
the southern shrine where you learn the truth was the spookiest

>when he does Koholint will return
Maybe the land, but not its inhabitants. I doubt he'll have the exact same dream twice.

Link is left to die in the middle of the ocean at the end of the game. How much darker can you get?

>‘TO THE FINDER’ THE ISLE OF KOHOLINT, IS BUT AN ILLUSION’ HUMAN, MONSTER, SEA, SKY’ A SCENE ON THE LID OF A SLEEPER’S EYE’ AWAKE THE DREAMER, AND KOHOLINT WILL VANISH MUCH LIKE A BUBBLE ON A NEEDLE’ CASTAWAY, YOU SHOULD KNOW THE TRUTH!’
The game is, in its entirety, an ephemeral fabrication. Link does not interact with a single real person, including the one he has a pseudo romantic relationship with.

Except we know from ALBW that he lives.

try playing it on original gbc hardware you cant see shit bruh its dark as fuck

>the funniest Zelda
But it's not a Legend of Zelda game? It's clearly the Legend of Groose.

>It's not necessarily dark, but it's way more sad than the remake can hope to express with its art style
Seeing this idea conveyed with cute character models sounds pretty heartwrenching honestly

Men of taste

Nobody cares about comedy in Zelda, they want dark fantasy

It's just hard for me to take the remake seriously when it looks like literal toys are disappearing, why should I care at that point.

There's no reason not to have a little comedic relief in a dark game as long as it's done in good taste.

>it's hard for me to take this game seriously when it looks like pixel blocks are disappearing

You can tell what they were going for was at least as realistic as ALttP though, that's the difference.

Not true. He returns to Hyrule, and is the Link you play as in the Oracle games. He also has a descendant in ALBW.

>was at least as realistic as ALttP though
So not realistic at all

Still more than the remake by a huge margin, which is my point. Plus, the music that plays now ruins the mood with those high pitched chimes.

They're both impressionistic
