The Legend of Twin Peaks

Reminder that Mark Frost confirmed that he gathered with Nintendo staff and gave them ideas for Link's Awakening, effectively making it the closest to an official Twin Peaks game.

      What's so special about this one? Why should I play it over, eg, Link to the Past?

      Play it and find out. It's a great game. It's sort of like a sequel to ALTTP, development started as a GB port of it and then evolved into an original game. You can play both games.

      its a bit quicker, being a handheld game
      i like the pacing a lot more than LttP
      that games back half drags like crazy
      with LA youre pretty much always unlocking new bits of the map at a consistent rate.
      some fun items that, for whatever reason, didnt make it off of the GB(C), like rocs feather

      theres a ton of really cool music too
      everyone goes gaga over the switch remakes re-orchestration. and while they did a great job not over-arranging it, the OG is just very well done given how limiting the GB was
      clever use of the GBs echo/reverb to try and make it sound more full

      i wish the swordless music had more time to shine

          tbf you have to then design the entire games map and all its dungeons around it
          its also kinda OP, especially when combined with other items, like the boomerang for ex
          as a kid id always stop using my shield after dungeon 1 and just use rocs feather defensively instead

    Mizzurna Falls is actually the closest we have to a Twin Peaks game. Just because one guy helped with some ideas, doesn't mean LA has anything to do with Twin Peaks story wise or input wise. You're grasping at straws so hard you went and pulled a tendon, tendie.

      tbh im pretty sure opie is just entirely full of shit and wanted to start a LA thread

      iirc the guy who was making LA originally said in an interview that he was a big fan of twin peaks and its what inspired the overall weirdness/dreaminess of the game. thats all.
      like another anon said, he was initially supposed to be doing a LttP remake for GB, but kept adding things afterhours and eventually some higher up saw how good it was and gave him the resources/time he would need to make an original game

        There's definitely more than just the "it was all a dream" aspect. Also it is actually part of TP, although it happened 25 years later.

      Just thought this was an interesting fact.
      Also read again, I said closest to an OFFICIAL TP game, because of Frost's involvement. Also LA has actually a lot in common with TP, which makes sense because the staff working on it were huge TP fans (as was a lot of people in Japan at the time), and Frost confirming he actually gave them ideas all makes sense.
      Read better before replying with your co sole war shit from Ganker.

        No, I read through the article it's 5th grade writing and logic trying to make LA look like it's super inspired by twin peaks, but it's superfluous and doesn't shine through the game as inspired by twin peaks. Where as mizzurna Falls actually feels like twin peaks the videogame. I love LA, I own both og and dx versions... and the switch remake, but this is the most soulless rewriting of history. Just because quintin terantino gives you some pointers, doesn't mean you're making the next pulp fiction or that it's even inspired by pulp fiction. Frost said himsef in his tweet that he gave the ideas, but he doesn't directly say he gave twin peaks inspired ideas at all. He even said he never played it so he wouldnt know if they even used his ideas. You're a stupid double homosexual triple Black person. Get butt fricked up the dick, nintendrone.

          I'm a bit confused by your anger.
          First, again, I never said this is a TP game or even the closest to a TP game. Just said it's the closest to an official TP game because of Frost's involvement.
          Second, I don't care about some internet random's own judgement about something being shallow or not. Your opinion is uninportant over the fact that Mark Frost straight gave out ideas to the LA devs (who were TP fans)
          Third, you claim to be a LA fan and owning every version, but use Ganker console war language... I say some dude doing console wars is more like the 5th grade logic than anything else here, no offense.

          lol im that other guy whos calling him a gay too

          but tbf it IS by far the most surreal feeling zelda game. i agree on that 100%
          not the least of which because the island and everyone on it literally ISNT real
          most zelda games are incredibly straightforward save-the-princess type affairs. nothing wrong with that, but LA adds that subtle layer of confusion that lynch and other surrealist artists of various mediums are fond of. the whole game does have a very hazy, dream-deferred kinda feel imo. especially so if you were playing this as a small child (i did)

          not that the "twist" was particularly clever, well-prepared, or even executed that well in terms of its reveal. iirc it literally tells you directly in that mini-dungeon before the 4th or 5th main dungeon. barely halfway through.
          an odd choice, but maybe accidentally brilliant. i definitely remember getting to that point as a kid and stopping and thinking but what if i dont wanna leave the island?
          it gives you a lot of time to then go around and have that second glance at everything/everyone, to where you start to notice the cracks and seams in the illusion

    OP, you've been making this thread every month for like 2 years. I spew a bunch of autistic shit on this board so I get the mindset, but why shitpost about this instead of anything else?

      When I was a child, I was playing link to the past on my Gameboy while my parents were watching twin peaks. I don't remember what started the argument but it was the first and last time I ever saw my dad hit my mom. She took me and her sister and left my dad a few months later.

      All the similarities are purely coincidental. I mean, the first game in the series came out before Twin Peaks and had already established that vibe. Plus Itoi only watched Twin Peaks sometime between Earthbound and Mother 3

    Why did Twin Peaks resonate so well with Japanese audiences compared to the states? It had a cult following here but in Japan it seemed like it was as big as The X-Files, arguably even moreso.
