Koh -Vs- Ocarina of Time

[Koh]

You know, now that I've thought more on it, I pretty much agree with PrettyNier on everything, even regarding games of their time. If the developers actually took more time to get to know the system before trying to just pop something out, they would've realized the full potential (or at least close to it) before they even started development on the game. Let's use the NES as an example. The first Legend of Zelda, since this is a Zelda-based thread. It's plain for the most part; the only areas of interest really are the labyrinths, but even those are pretty bland. This time, I AM referring to the quality of the graphics. If you look at a game that came out a few years later on the same system, such as Crystalis (known as GodSlayer in Japan) or Batman, you can clearly see the NES was capable of making the worlds more colorful and detailed back then. If they had taken the time to actually experiment with the limits of the system, the first Zelda could have been just as beautiful as those games....but it's not, because there's hardly any ground detail. Hyrule looks like a giant desert with trees and rocks.
