That golden page puzzle in Tunic is such galaxy brain, ascended levels of game design. It sounds like something you'd hear on the school playground and you feel like this massive conspiracy theorist trying to solve it. It's the kind of puzzle that only a game like Tunic could have made.

I will never forget how excited I felt when I was scrawling all the runes in my notebook and finally related a picture to a word and realized how the structure was set up. My little fox just sat there for two hours while I flipped through the guide for two hours until I reverse engineered the entire language. Once in a lifetime game experience for sure. Still listen to the soundtrack during work.

Tunic honestly is worth playing for how cute a Link-cosplaying fox is on its own

Tunic blew my mind. In a time when games are force feeding you the answers, it was an extremely satisfying experience solving every puzzle and each discovery you find was amazing.

I remember the night my dad brought home the NES Zelda. He pulled this gold box out of a brown paper bag and it was unlike anything I'd seen yet. When the cartridge was taken from it's box I felt like Indiana Jones when he found the Ark of the Covenant. There was something sacred about this game unlike the rest. Every time I finished playing it I put it right back into it's box and to this day I still have all the original material, box, manual, papers, bag, sleeve and game. My NES Zelda is as shiny golden as the day my dad brought it home. It took me a year to beat that game as an 8 yr old child and I still remember many of my adventures in it. The Zelda series became one of my favorite game series of all time and I even shared future Zelda experiences with my wife as we played together.

This video brought me back to being around 9 years old with my dad showing me how to play Legend of Zelda for the first time. I have never cried more watching something. Tunic is my favorite game of all time, and it brought me almost as many tears as this video did. I want to thank you for making such an inspiring retrospective on something not many people care to watch. You are amazing Liam, thank you

That golden path puzzle is what made Tunic my GOTY last year. I didnt use pen and paper to solve it, but I did do a digital equivalent. The fact that a game had me taking screenshots and assembling them like a virtual craft project in Photoshop was just so unique and cool I knew no other gaming moment of the year could top it. More of that in games please

A much-needed video. It makes me very sad when people say the original Zelda is impossible to figure out and not worth playing. It's a wonderful experience and much more intuitive than people give it credit for.
