Save Files

[A Link In Time]

I have few gripes with the current save system although I was a bit frustrated like you with having to return to the bottom of the Tower of Spirits after saving and returning to play the game another time when the system was powered on. I've seen some complaints here regarding Ocarina of Time's save systems and I must say those are completely null and avoid for that game is absolute videogame bliss but then again, I am a bit biased towards it. The only save system which particularly irked me was the one in Majora's Mask. My memories with that are terrible and having to halt certain sidequests and return in time was truly painful.

The most equitable save function in recent Zelda games is that of Skyward Sword. The Bird Statues were not only liberally spread around but also allowed the player to start off from their exact last save point. I was initially cynical of this decision on Nintendo's part after playing Majora's Mask but am glad to admit after the fact that I was proved grossly incorrect.

I can relate to the not-return-to-the-exact-point thing. That's why I always make sure that I have enough time to play Zelda before I play it.

SS solved this problem. There was no shortage of statues so you could start up exactly where you left.

I totally agree. Once I was playing tp for the first time and I didn't know you go back and,just my luck,I had to save OUTSIDE of the forest temple so I started over,forgot how to fish and it wouldn't work for me so I ended up not touching the game for a few MONTHS!!!

Well, common save systems can be annoying. SS worked very well here with the Goddess Statues, but for future games, some things should be changed.

The starting at the last major cut-scene still happens, right? I think it does. Anyway, you should spawn in the last major room, simple as that. No going from room to room or making your way somewhere. Unless there's a cutscene.
