Favourite handheld Zelda?

[Deleted User]

Lol, read first, then post. Sorry!

There are 2 versions, b&w and color. The DX (color) one has an extra dungeon, but afaik it also had different version which propably contain some minor bug-fixes. You should get the highest version possible.

 

[OSW]

Why so many versions?!?!

And which one do i choose?!
lol

If possible, use one with [!] in the filename. Those are confirmed good dumps.

Dang if only i had known that earlier with snes roms

Aye, I've had some dodgy SNES Roms in the past, obviously there wasn't a scene back there, like there is now?
Loadsa people dumped the games, instead of racing and only one group dumping it?

My fav handheld one

which i got from the airport when i went india when i was about 8.(BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THE PAPER IS PEELING)

loved this one as well not as much as links awakening

I have to say Links Awakening... It has this magic glow all over itself..
winning a yoshi-doll, and start to trade away...
seasons and ages had something similiear (can't spell) but they lacked the magic....

Minish Cap, was... rather dull... Sure I think the graphics are overly cute... but I don't like the feeling with something telling you what to do next.. as in... a fairy, or a hat.. i want to go to the telephone-houses if I want to know more!

and last but not least:
I think that seasons and ages got to "advanced" when you should travel in time back and forth at several places, and change seasons ever so often.
It feels too much like a maze game, or something....

Conclusion:
Links awakening!!!!

 

[MaHe]

First Zelda game I ever played was Oracle of Ages, so I am going to have to go with that. Without it I would have not ever discovered how great these games are!

Haha, same for me!

Ditto.

Actually could I change my response to Links Awakening: link gets laid. That was a fine hack for when I am feeling completely immature.

Link gets laid!?

Link gets laid!?

Yeah, It's really immature. Link goes around with.. I think it's a dildo... to whack the enemies, and some enemies are boobies, and.. yeah, I don't know so much more.. it's disturbing....

@Digeman, it was just an immature hack where everything is a crude sex joke (of the sort a 13 year old may find funny).

People of sensitive disposition turn away now, hide/spoiler tags do not seem to work for me:

The oracle games were my favorite. Its was two great Zelda games released at the same time. I voted Oracle of Seasons because time traveling in games was done before unlike season (to my knowledge anyways!)

Season changing is a very important task in Click Clock Wood in Banjo-Kazooie...

Link's Awakening.

That game REALLY needs to be remade in Wind Waker Style 3D or even Pokemon DS Style 3D. It's one of the most under-rated zeldas of all time in my opinion.

@Everyone who fears PH -- Don't worry. This is the first time since LA that a handheld Zelda has been internally developed at Nintendo. All the other Zeldas have been made by some other 3rd party developer or another division of Nintendo. PH is being developed @ Nintendo EAD, the same team that developed Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess.

Plus PH has been in development for a year and a half so far and isnt out until December, so I'm sure Nintendo are putting a lot of time and effort in this game, especially seeing it'll have a bigger audience on DS than TP has on Wii.

Good to see most of us loved "Link's Awakening" so much and even dare to put the "best handheld Zelda game" sticker on it.

Can't wait for "Phantom Of Hourglass" @_@

 

[wohoo]

Link's Awekening! no doubt!

 

[frostfire]

Link's Awakening for sure! It was the first zelda ever I finished, such a great game

.

 

[jelbo]

Link's Awakening by far! Apart from OoT my favorite Zelda game. Link's Awakening is an amazing game, great music, challenging dungeons, good story and fantastic gameplay.

Link's Awakening, holy crap, what a classic. My brother and I once tried to play through the entire game without getting the sword (using the press select as you walk to another area trick) and I think we got all the way to the end, but we couldn't actually beat it because you have to have a sword to do damage to the last boss.

and the overworld music was always the same music it plays at the begining of the game before you get your sword.

 

[ShadowXP]

Link's Awakening was pure epicness with awesome music!

have to agree here, so very true.

 

[Covarr]

I've never understood what people see as so great about Link's Awakening. The game focuses far too much on talking to people, and the world map is poorly designed. Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons both have this problem too, but not to as great an extent. Four Swords would be my favorite if it didn't require multiplayer, leaving Minish Cap as the obvious best.

Actually, I prefer A Link to the Past, on the same cartridge as Four Swords, but I guess since it was first released on the SNES that it doesn't really count as a Handheld Zelda game.

Links Awakening without a doubt. Easily my faveorite handheld game of all time

 

[mr_blonde_88]

bahhhhhhhhhh, why won't Ages/Seasons work on the G6? I thought it had a GBC emulator?
I keep getting the 'THIS GAME CAN ONLY BE PLAYED ON A GBC' screen
