Best ZELDA game

[GreatCrippler]

I've so many good memories with Link's Awakening. God I love this game.

That one would be second on my list for sure.

 

[celeron53]

Link's Awakening was the first LoZ game that I finished. It will always be a first in my heart...

 

[KingdomBlade]

I liked Majora's Mask the most, but my opinion is purely subjective.

 

[TheDarkSeed]

I haven't played many zelda games, but majoras mask is tops. The game itself was just so vast. what I liked about it was that you could play at your own pace(by resetting time^^)

 

[ShadowSoldier]

For me, Ocarina of Time, mainly not for the game itself (though it is the best game) but because of how I got that game.

For my second place, it would definitely have to be Wind Waker. Then Majora's Mask.

Surprised nobody has said Twilight Princess yet, god that game is bad.

 

[Ritsuki]

Hmm... Tough question. The GB/GBC episodes were really good. Nothing to say about Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Wind Waker was clearly one of the mosdt entertaining episode IMHO. GBA and DS episodes were TOO easy. And I've been really disappointed by Twilight Princess... So, I'll vote fot OoT, but because it's the first Zelda game I played and it transformed me into a Zelda fan

Next would be Wind Waker and Link's Awakening in 2nd, Majora in 3rd and all the GB/GBC episodes in 4th.

I enjoyed Minish Cap very much.

 

[coolness]

there isno best but Windwaker is my favorite i really love the game nice adventure
but phantom houre glass could be better not such nice second part of the on sea story

also link can swim in windwaker but not in phantom hourglass that was really boring -_-

In first would be OoT (for nostalgic reasons partiallty), second would be Wind Waker and tied with that would be Majora's Mask.
After that, A Link to the Past, then the Oracles, then Link's Awakening.

A Link to the Past hands down.
Too bad OoT always wins thanks to how many people played it as their first Zelda game (Mine was the original LoZ when it was still new).

 

[machomuu]

A Link to the Past hands down.

Yeah, it's a sad fact. However my first Zelda game was Link's Awakening, and maybe right after that A Link To The Past. OoT, however, is my favorite game for a more personal (but not secret) reason than just nostalgia and how fun it is (well it ties in with both, but it's bigger than those two)

 

[JoostinOnline]

I say Ocarina of Time hands down. It's my favorite game, I've played it dozens of times. It's the only reason I'm buying a 3DS, lol. A Link to the Past comes next, but it doesn't match OoT.

I've never played the CD-i Zelda games, but from what I've seen they hardly count. I've played all the others, and the only one I didn't like was Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.

 

[Hells Malice]

Ocarina of time is my favorite.
I liked them all, but there's something about the N64 Zelda's that are just absolutely epic. Majora's mask was good, but it didn't carry the same charm.

ALTTP was great too, but it didn't draw me in quite as well.

EDIT: Now that I think about it. It was the music, the scenery, and the atmosphere. Dodongo's Cavern comes to mind. I LOVE that place.
Makes me wanna play Ocarina of Time again.

 

[Hielkenator]

i think this is more of an age question. people my age started with the original zelda and when a link to the past came out we saw what zelda wanted to be but didn't have the technology for at the time. everything after that has been fun but a link to the past is by far the best.

-another world

Hate to agree, but couldn't have put it better myself. A Link to the Past was hands down the best.

Agreed, I remember hearing the trumpets and cymbals in the overworld theme for the first time....it is/was a very atmospheric game at that time.
I still play it once in a while, it's easy to get into and finish. The later games of Zelda are a bit more time consuming to get you started and to finish them.
I love to get 100% out off the game without dying. Most of the Items from that game have been present or evolved in later zelda's. ( like the bottle, spin attack, hookshot, master sword on a pedestool )

Second in place would be Zelda II : The adventure of Link.
I recently bought an original NES copy of this game. It's different but in a good way to me. There's a lot of intense action and it's unforgivingly hard. It was very satisfying when I finished this game. After I finished it for the first time the second time around it was a lot easier. The way you had to fence and fight as well as spell/ magic management and the exp. points made this game very revolutionary for it's time and a big achievement. ( the magic in later zelda game derives from this game ).

3rd is the original: if you played it and finished it you know what a great game this was/is ( i'm getting old...)
It's possible to get all upgrades (except for the magic sword and dugeon items ) before even entering the first dungeon.
I voted third because this game really involves beating the dungeons, the overworld is big but it really comes down to the dungeons if you can finish the game.
After you have all upgrades possible in the overworld, the game becomes very easy ( this is before entering the first dungeon! )
After that you will only use the overworld to get from dungeon to dungeon.

All later 3d zelda's it think are good, but only OOT made a real impact on me, because of the fact it was possible to pull a game off, the scale that Oot is, in 3D.
MM and TP are more the same to me.

my favorite is oot since it was my first zelda game

I'm the only one who voted for the original?

I also voted for the original Legend of Zelda. To this day it remains my all time favorite game.

A lot of people choose Ocarina of Time as their favorite because it was the first that they played in the series. I have to admit I am a bit biased with the first game since i grew up with it, but I like all of the games in the series excluding the crappy CD-I games of course.

 

[Forstride]

Tie between Majora's Mask and OoT for me. Both are two amazing to judge. However, if I had to pick one, I'd say MM. Wind Waker is second (Or third if I don't count both games as one), and LTTP is third (Or fourth, yadda yadda yadda).
