Dear god, bloody casuals.
I'm playing this game on the new 'nightmare' difficulty setting and still think it's too damn easy.
You are actually complaining about slow health regen? For a start, regerating health is a really dumb game mechanic in the first place. It's one of the first thing developers impliment on the road to dumbing down (they call it 'streamlining') their games. But if your game is going to have it, at least do the way Larian have. That is, make the player have to invest in stats and gear to allow it.
Go by a Wii and play some Zelda noob. (I'm betting you already have a Wii and think Zelda's awesome).
Dumb down? This game already uses several of what you'd call dumbed down game mechanics. The unrealistic amount of gear and potions and whatnot the character is able to tote around for starters. Don't start talking about dumbed down. It isn't about realism you elitist twit, it's about playability. 99% (probably 100% but there may be an exception I am unaware of) of every RPG ever made is dumbed down for playability. Hit points/Health, Weapon Damage, Mana, you name it they are all mechanics that streamline game play. Simplification of a complex idea or process for the sake of entertainment.
Zelda is awesome. I bet I been playing Zelda before you were even born.
