3 - The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask
4 - The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker
5 - The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening
6 - The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess
7 - The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword
8 - The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past
9 - The Legend Of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
10 - The Legend Of Zelda
11 - The Legend Of Zelda 2: Adventure of Link
12 - The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

The rest of the series i didn't played yet.

I didn't think it was fair to lump all the games together because the portable games obviously are shorter and were developed by smaller teams (not to say they are less good, the Oracle games are fantastic)

I do have to say if you didn't like Phantom Hourglass you should give Spirit Tracks a try. It fixed a lot of what I hated from PH and I thought the story and train mechanics were a pleasant change of pace.

is breath of the wild really that good? I've owned the game for a couple years, but I'm hesitant to play it after they removed a lot of the things that make zelda zelda. big dungeons being one of them.

yes it's a really good game, mainly for being good at being an open world game done right

I guess what I'm wondering is if it's a good zelda game. I mean would you place the game in that series if you didn't know what it was?

It's definately a Zelda game even if it's doing thing a bit differently this time around.
I't sort of comes down to prefference. I personally miss having longer and more unique dungeons.
But I really appreciate everything else the game has to offer

tbh its no zelda game. everyone loves it for being a skyrim zelda mod.
this game has no dungeons at all (those shrines suck and are finished in 1 minute... the "real dungeons" go like 20 - 30 minutes to finish)
it is just a big world to explore
it is way to easy
all your weapons are breaking except "a few"
your weapons are all nonsense and no namers. they have special abilitys sometimes but thats about it.. it has nothing to do with zelda
theres ... not really a story ... its so basic that you can ignore it :S

the nations and zelda + link + links "final weapon and armor" are the only things that remind me of zelda.
to me its a good game but its NOT a zelda game in my eyes. i hope that botw 2 will be a zelda game..

i guess i m alone with this opinion as this game gets a lot of good % everywhere. but to me its not really that good - i played all zelda games but this one is really on one of my lowest rankings :x and the only game of the series i didnt play at least twice.(even the cdi titles)

Open world is ok but please add dungeons next time.. i mean.. like real dungeons... not this crap...

there are some pro points but really.... if you like zelda (classic series with dungeons) and dont like open world games... dont play it..
but if you like open world and zelda.. give it a try but dont expect a zelda game

Too Easy? Well maybe it could be if your goal is only to see the end credits. Trial of the master-sword for instance is really not that easy. At least it wasn't for me :D

well those came long time after i played the game as dlc i guess? i didnt buy the dlc and i didnt want to replay that game tbh.. it was soo boring.. and .. well yea... i did rush through the game but finished all the things (including getting all those crappy shrines done) would have been a shame if this would be my only unfinished zelda game :x

The game is litterally one fuckin massively big dungeon TBH x).

Also, why so much hate toward Zelda 2 ? :( With savestates, it's a really enjoyable game !

Ok. Thank you by the suggestion. Yes, the portable games are shorter but Link's Awakening almost have the same quality as a console release.

The game is good, really good. But it's very diferrent from every Zelda game. This is the Zelda game that gives you the most liberty in the series. The same thing San Andreas is to GTA. The game is almost completely creative, with things you didn't know you could do in it. Totally worth it.

Actually the last levels of this DLC is hard as hell.

Zelda 2 it's not a bad game. But this is hard as hell. And also some parts are really frustating because of the difficulty. It was a struggle to me finish it in NES emulator for Wii even with savestates.

not even close op. NOT EVEN CLOSE!
What is op?

Oh yes I was unsure exactly where BOTW was gonna be placed so typed up a rough draft before posting and forgot to give it an official place lol. Go easy on me I earlier today slightly electrocuted myself fixing my cooker. Always remember to disconnect electrical goods before fixing them people :)

As for MM I have posted several times in other threads my issues with that game.

Now to go and renumber my bloody list lol
