Best ZELDA game

[DarkShinigami]

well i honestly cant pick it cause i pick the first one i played because if i didnt play it i never wouldda played any zelda game and im talkin bout oot

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.

dont get me wrong i love the first game and play it frequently but thanks to oot i love the zlda games and tryy to play every one that i can

A Link to the Past. All other opinions are incorrect.

I had to give it up for Twilight Princess.

I played every 3D zelda about 6-8 years ago, first one being wind waker, what is normally my choice, but I also love twilight princess a lot, it really has refinement after years, and it was bold zelda in new look that was quite welcome.

Twilight Princess gets a huge load of illogical hate, and most of reasons people give for hating it can be applied to their own favorite game.


I think Ocarina of Time is Brilliant, no doubt, but some people give it a bit too much credit, especially if they go "Oh, OoT is greatest and TP is complete crap" - I just can't get behind that reasoning.

Also agree, TP was absolutely a masterpiece, especially since it's actually a CG game.
The only downside it has, that you are constantly taken by the hand.
This gets anoying by the point, you figure things out by yourself ,before the game tells you it's hints.
Too easy for die hard Zelda fans, perfect for newcomers.
Also, I hope LINK never speaks.

Yeah - I thought that every zelda I've played has been tad easy - and I dunno about taking by hand. Sure you get told what your next objective is but I though that is pretty standard stuff, as same thing is in Ocarina of Time. - Also, midna never tells anything in dungeon that would break the ice and make you go "RIGHT" - pretty much every time I missed something in TP dungeon and was bit stuck, midna would not help.

Well, I think EVERY zelda game is a amazing game, and I love wind waker REALLY much for it being my first zelda game, I am not a person to say people cannot love Ocarina of Time, but damn some people who say that TP outright SUCKS - when TP is huge nod to the ocarina of time, with classic races, adultish link and so on, it even has majora nod with the zora outfit.

Also, it is great that while Link still doesn't speak, he shows a character in games with his reactions and facial expressions, really much this in Wind Waker, and subtly in Twilight Princess.

Ocarina of Time.. Or WindWaker.

 

[jan777]

I've only played TP, WW, PH and a bit of OoT on an emulator (I stopped to wait for the 3DS version).

TP was my first Zelda game, but WW was the best I have played.

PH was fun, but the Time temple or whatever, the one you keep returning to, made me quit the game on the last return.

and ST.. i dunno lol.

I also played a bit of MM, it was fun. but I didnt finish because i thought you need to play Oot first.

 

[Master Mo]

A Link to the Past. I also think it is the best game of all time...

 

[Y05h1]

This topic comes up over and over, only for me to be torn between choices...

So I finally resorted to settling for my golden trio of games:

A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and Twilight Princess. The best 3 Zelda games.

(Honorable mentions go to Majora's Mask and Wind Waker).

But I voted for TP. Just because I think that not enough people realize just how brilliant the game really was.

 

[SinHarvest24]

ocarina of time, enjoyed that one the most.

 

[Selim873]

Ocarina of Time, with no doubt!

 

[BobTheJoeBob]

I personally like Twilight Princess the most.

 

[luigirulze]

Majora's Mask.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for dark storylines. Not to mention you can freaking blow a dude up

...Oh, and all that expanding and whatnot on the already legendary Ocarina of Time engine.

 

[Delta517]

I think Majora's Mask too

 

[tijntje_7]

I played OoT, MM, altp, four swords (altp), oracle of seasons/ages, link's awakening, minish cap, phantom hourglass and spirit tracks.

Majora's mask > Oracle of seasons/ages (also link's awakening, I don't want it to be behind OoT, but I like OoT a lot as well

) > Ocarina of time > a link to the past > spirit tracks > minish cap > phantom hourglass.

best game is majora's mask. By far. Greatest music, best atmosphere, best storyline BY FAR. Greater graphics than OoT, deeper game. I still play this game :/ Not yet completed 100%

I might be considered a zelda fan

I want to play wind waker + twilight princess on dolphin.
I don't really care about the first two.
Phantom hourglass was the worst of all. I don't like the graphics, the bosses are WAY too easy, no super cool new items. But worst of all, completed in 2 days. :/
100% after a week or two, it was WAY too easy and obvious were to go

 

[Defiance]

Wind Waker is my favorite, but then again, it's the first one I played. I like the openness of the islands without any loading time. I also enjoyed TP and OoT.

 

[fishykipper]

OoT of course.
but The Minish Cap was very very good too!!!

 

[InuYasha]

Ah the memories of stress playing zelda 2...

 

[Zorua]

Oot is the best game ever so it is also the best Zelda game.
Anyway, thats public opinion.
I'm a graphics freak so I liked Wind Waker the best.

 

[JoostinOnline]

I think that 3D and 2D should really be considered in two categories on this. They have different styles.
