Sex & Shenanigans

I was already a D&D nerd playing Ultima and Wizardry and Bard’s Tale when the first came out. Just felt like a poor imitation of the rpg experience I wanted. Was a Genesis and PlayStation and Xbox teenager and young adult. I played a bit of Skyward Sword on the Wii but was underwhelmed. Watched my son play a bit of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom but I ain’t got time for that.
So you HAVE played one! And even got your sprout to play some! You're excused then 🥰
I spent all time trying to make mopeds, motorcycles and cars go faster instead of playing computer games when I grew up.
I tried to play games but I enjoyed the real deal much more.
Spoken like a true moppepojke 😁 Epa goes vroom!
 
I can't come to think of a single good reason to never having played a Zelda game.
I'm sad for you. :(
Because I've been playing table top since 1978, and Zelda (and most computer simulations) seemed a less rich option. (Still play online with some of my friends from highschool in a campaign that has been going on for forty fucking years.) The only computer games (other than Zork, Rogue, and other way old text-based games) were Planescape Torment and Vtm: Bloodlines, both very different from most computer games. Though the next game I play will probably be the one you recommend, the name of which escapes me, but I have saved.

Good enough reasons, or still sad?:)
 
seeing this crop up the second time cracked me up! 😂

You make the time for those games. I have finished every single Zelda game and still return to them.

Hmm. HMMMM. The game I recommended was Disco Elysium, which is in my opinion one of the greatest stories ever told. I do hope you get around to it! But yes, still a bit sad that you feel that c-rpgs are lesser than tabletop. There are some truly fantastic games out there. Maybe @SherlockianMan will make a Top 5 Video Games one of these weeks 😁

Every single one? Well you have me beat. I haven't played any of them to completion since Majoras Mask. As the medium advanced, so did their story telling, and while Zelda games are fun and arcade'y I much prefer story heavy games nowadays. The latest two Zelda games look cool, but if all a game has to offer is gameplay, then it's not really for me anymore..

DE is fucking fantastic. Haven’t finished it but don’t care I just keep restarting it and doing crazier and crazier things.

Every one of them. There is significant story telling in both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom but I admit there is significant grind time to get proper armour and weaponry to defeat the tougher and tougher foes, as well as the bosses.
