I’m honestly surprised there isn’t more anger or disdain for Fire Emblem Heroes. The game is a scam that abuses its fanbase, or whatever is left of it anyway.

Fire Emblem Heroes outlives yet another mobile game.

I have a very unconventional one, one that I mentioned before. I don’t think anyone on the Internet talked about this either. Let me tell you the tale of Old Man Link in Melee.

What is your favorite gaming rumor or hoax? Did you believe any of them?

This rumor had a funny consequence, or coincidence rather. I played WarioWare Smooth Moves and I haven’t played Ocarina of Time yet. So I was pretty shocked when the Ocarina of Time microgame on its second difficulty had Old Man Link!

As a result of the rumor, the microgame, and not having played Ocarina of Time yet, I assumed that Old Man Link was real and a part of the original Ocarina of Time. Like he was Link aging from his quest to defeat Ganondorf and save Zelda for decades. I was a dumb kid though. Just a dumb little kid.

How do you unlock him? You go through Classic Mode very fast on Normal difficulty and you must not lose a single life as Young Link. This is a very tall order, as I was not super skilled at the game (I was a kid) and I thought Young Link sucked and was super weak.

So I humored it and tried to unlock Old Man Link, knowing it was possibly false. Alas I couldn’t do it, especially when the Metal Battle is kinda hard as Young Link. This false rumor is still stuck in my mind because I knew it was bullshit, but I had to try it, y’know?

In 2004 or 5, I played Melee and I unlocked every character. However, one friend of mine told me about a supposed character named Old Man Link, who is more powerful than regular Link and his sword had more range (probably the Biggoron Sword).

Creating a game for 18 years that’s a sequel to a niche game is, at this point, a lost cause. You’re not going to get a return on your investment at all. At some point you should pull the plug.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 reportedly still in development 18 years after being announced, now a "solo-first" adventure www.eurogamer.net/beyond-good-...

While I’m taking a break from Fortune’s Weave until my wife beats Trails to Reverie, I’m going to try to beat FE7. I’m not the best tactician, so I want to sharpen my skills and play a game that doesn’t have too many “easy win” buttons with units or mechanics.

Silver Will@thesilverwill.bsky.social

I played FE7 but I never beat it. Part of me wants to try again at it.

When I did Dietrich’s route, I realized that FE games since Awakening have been giving the players OP units and/or mechanics. While that can be fun in its own right, I don’t think I’m improving as a player. I mean, why use other units when you have a god on the battlefield?

I KNEW this was going to happen eventually, but it’s so sad to see a legendary studio like this be destroyed. Fuck EA and their greed.

Let me say that my job fucking sucks. I don’t get paid enough and they expect a lot out of me. It’s a sales position without saying it is one and the higher ups treat you like morons and numbers. Honestly getting fired would be a mercy, because I can’t stand this job.
