Favorite Zelda Game

OrR · Aug 9, 2008

Not enough love for the Game Boy Zeldas... I'm in love with the Oracle games, they are my favourite Zelda games. After that comes LttP which I played at my friends when I was young for many many hours. And of course Link's Awakening which also has great childhood memories attached to it.
Minish Cap didn't feel like a full Zelda game to me. Twilight Princess was my first 3D Zelda and it didn't live up to the 2D games. Phantom Hourglass is awesome in it's own way but not quite at the level of the classic 2D games. I really need to play Wind Waker and the N64 games. I want to know if there really is a worthy 3D Zelda or if it's all just nostalgia.

I'd have to say Twilight Princess for the same reason the other user that posted above did, because I haven't played any other Zeldas (except the one on the DS, but that wasn't too great). I've only recently started playing for the first time Ocarina of Time, so I hope it'll be good.

ocarina of time, link to the past then twilight princess followed by windwaker then four swords.

Amazing game series, aparently it follows a timelime but i cant see it.

I've always appreciated the fans like you.
I love the 2D zelda games. A Link to the Past is my favorite Zelda game out of them all.
It was the first game I've ever played, out of the series, on my SNES. Later I bought a gameboy, and the first game I got was Link's Awakening (original), I loved that game immediately and thought it was my favorite game on gameboy, until I got Pokemon Blue.
The next christmas, I got the, life changing, N64. I got OoT a couple of months after it's release and I was very impressed and surprised. I played it for hours, beat it numerous times, along with Majora's Mask, (which was cool, but it not as impressive) within the next 6 months. .After that I never went back to the N64 games. Instead I went back to the 2D Zeldas. The Oracle games were great, I bought them both, but I ended up liking Oracle of Ages more.
I never got a gamecube, I was so close to buying one because of how cheap it was, but I never did. I got a Ps2 instead, and I enjoyed all the great games on there. But I later bought Windwaker and played it on my Wii. It was fun and very unique to the series, but I only played it once. TP was alright, I beat it a couple of times, and it made me buy OoT on Virtual Console and play that some more. PH was fun for the first time I played it. And that's about it. Overall I enjoyed the 2D games a lot more.

I don't care what anybody tghinks,. I like Twilight princess the best. Sure, Oot was epic, and I still play it, but TP, IMO had all the things that made Oot great plus more. those are my two favorites. Aside from that, (Just found this out when I voted) I have every zelda game, originals, except minish cap.

Edit: This is the timeline I follow.

I don't blame you for not liking TP as much as the 2D Zeldas, TP in retrospect was great in storyline, but not so great in execution. You seem like a guy who's willing to go against the grain as far as most Zelda fans go, so I'd personally reccomend Majora's Mask. It's definitely the most unique 3D Zelda out there, and for fans who have yet to try out any 3D Zelda (yet who have played the other 2D Zeldas), it's definitely worth trying out. After that, I'm not sure whether to recommend Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker first.

Wind Waker is a really great game, but it does feel a bit unpolished in a couple of areas (especially in this one part of the game...

The part where Jabun just hands you Nayru's Pearl, It's like wtf, no temple? Shame on you! Why aren't you infected or in trouble or something, lol. That pathetic excuse for a trial was so poor.

...like that

). Apart from that, and this bit near the end, all in all it's a great game.

Ocarina of Time, amazing game, one of my personal favourite games of all time. Seen as you've already played through LTTP, I've heard quite a lot of people talk about about how the storyline is a bit too much like LTTP, but I wouldn't really say that to be honest. I'd probably recommend you go play Ocarina of Time after Majora's Mask, and then Wind Waker. I've never really met someone in your position who's played all of the 2D Zeldas, but has never played any of the 3D ones until now, so I don't entirely know if you're going to like them or not

I would say nostalgia does make it a bit better, but they're still great games in their own right.

Everyone knows Link's awakening is the best zelda game ever.

Unfortunately they don't, but they should *shakes fist*

*self-proclaimed biggest Zelda fan ever*
wait.. I don't even own the CDI games!? meh!

My top-5
1) Wind Waker: lengthy, original, beautiful game. Probably one of my fave games ever.
2) Oracle of A./S.: awesome games, I've recently beaten those two again on the DS via Lameboy.
3) Link's Awakening: first Zelda game I ever played! I was really young back then so I found it extremely challenging. Took me ages to finish it.
4) Majora's Mask: a lot better than OOT imo. The storyline is much deeper and there's a weird feeling over the game in general... I loved it.
5) Ocarina of Time: good game but not the best Zelda game I've played.

I also liked TFS Adventures and TFS (beat the games w/ sj66

) but they didn't really feel like Zelda games.

My most disappointing Zelda games:
1) Phantom Hourglass

horrible controls. Never beaten the game either. I actually never passed the first couple of levels.
2) Zelda TP

good game but not nearly as good as I expected. Never beaten the game.
3) Minish cap: a good game but the whole minish thing was meh. I think I've only beaten it once or twice.

psycoblaster · Sep 4, 2008

i agree with your disappointment.
I quit PH when I got on a ship. only if the release a good oracles of seasons/ages like game for the DS... those games were epic. And I still have my real oracles of seasons for the gbc

Minish cap was bleh.
Twilight Princess - I have the wii version, and controls were fun to experiment with. But I think the developers took too much time on the "frosting" that the "cake" part sucked.
I don't know why, but these new games have impressive graphics, but then the depth of the story is killed.

Naka · Sep 4, 2008

Being a huge zelda fan and owning real copies of every game(only missing the zelda 1 remake for gba)
its hard to pick just one favorite
but a link to the past has warm fuzzy place in my heart

This man, he speaks the truth!!!!!

R2DJ · Sep 5, 2008

I really like Link to the Past and Minish Cap. I have to re-do Minish Cap again as my save file got deleted. I'm about to defeat Vaati.

I think the games follow a storyline but it's variable and some are just not related to others.

4urentertainment · Sep 9, 2008

well I've only played one zelda game ever and that's Twilight Princes. And It's the second best game I have ever played. Graphics, Control, Story, Atmosphere, Epicness. What more could you ask for? However seeing as many people say OoT and MM are better, I'm gonna play them soon. but so far, TP is the best for me.

Midna · Sep 23, 2008

Just one thing to say. All the Zelda games rocked, even though some lacked a little special something. If you like the game formula, play them all.

To those that say TP sucked, I say Blasphemy!!!

Bryce · Sep 23, 2008

Oracle of Seasons is my favorite. Game was sooooo great.

Joe88 · Sep 23, 2008

well that was the thing
you saw something in TP and your like oh shi-
I remember that from OoT

Sstew · Sep 23, 2008

Hmm... Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess, Both great games... Windwaker wasn't to bad either just different look and feel.
