What's your favorite Zelda game?

by **cannonfodder64** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 11:46 pm

I thought about it, and it's decided. I'm going to find out what the fans think is the best Zelda game. I know I don't have Four Swords, Ocarina of Time 3D, Link's Crossbow Training or those awful CD-i games, so I added an "Other" option.

If you can't decide between two different games, you may pick two games.

Happy voting!

Wind Waker for me

by **Noobish Hat** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 1:52 pm

Lol, how on earth is Wind Waker in the lead? It's a great game to be sure, but more popular than Ocarina of Time and Link to the Past? I'm surprised. I went for Ocarina and Link's Awakening which for me are the best by some distance.

It's so hard to choose if I'm honest. I went for Zelda 2 Links Adventure in the end though. A strange choice some might say, but that and Link to the Past brings back so many childhood memories for me.

Ocarina of Time is great too, defo the best 3D Zelda to date in my opinion.

Link to the Past for me, but it's a close call with a few others such as Majora's Mask and Skyward Sword.

Personally went for the DS games because it's the only Zelda games i have completed :oops:

Maybe because it's more fun than Ocarina in nearly every regard? It's also timeless with a non-aging graphical style.

Definitely Kamigami no Triforce.

I love them all, so it's hard to choose! XD
So I just picked OoT & SS, since they're the ones I've played the most of lately.

A link to the past.

by **jsb** » Sat May 12, 2012 3:16 pm

I picked "A link to the past" as well as "Minish Cap".

I haven't had any of the nintendo systems when I was a kid, and started my love for Zelda with Minish Cap. From there on I started collecting the older games. Now I have a pretty neat collection, missing only the extremely rare and pricey items, like the Oracle of Ages / Seasons collectors box.

I was never a huge fan of Zelda, not even the seminal OoT. But then I played Skyward Sword, and that missing X-factor just clicked into place.

I realise I'll probably be lynched for such a suggestion, but it's my favourite of the series. And I'm not sure why!

Another vote for Wind Waker. It's just an incredible game all round I think

2nd choice would be OoT.

by **Lord_Santa** » Mon May 21, 2012 3:10 am

in my opinion, Link to the Past, has the most replay-value and hence is the one I favor the most
also, it has most of the key-elements, which make for a successful Zelda title (the items, characters, world, etc.)

apart from that, oddly enough I found Twilight Princess (Gamecube) to be the second favorite

don't get me wrong, I own a lot of Zelda games and I love them all in their own way(s)

but since I figured I'd go with one 3D and one 2D and in all honesty, however much I love Majora's Mask (yes, I like Ocarina of Time as well), there's just something about Twilight Princess that struck me

Wind Waker is definitively a great choice as well, not only in art-style, but in characters and world, etc.

the Seasons game(s) also have some nifty elements and from what I've read (hardcore gaming 101), the CD-I Zelda's are not as bad as everyone thinks they are

gotta say though, the Zelda's I like the least are the one's for NDS... I'm not sure why, but they just don't fit with me

also, Skyward Sword, great as it is, has one major draw-back which prevents me from playing for extended periods of time - the Sword that feel compelled to give you advice/direction every five minutes and in general all the simplification of the game, to cater to "new fans"

it all started in Ocarina of Time with the fairy, but over time it has really gone out of control - at least give us an option to completely turn off these annoyances - I prefer finding everything out by myself, without having a constant nuisance trying to tell me what to do, when to do it

I chose 'A Link to The Past'.

It was really nice to see enhanced graphics in a Zelda game from the usual 8 bit. Over the years, I realise that it is more than just the graphics that makes this game special. It has a nice storyline. The developers seem to have invested a lot of time in this game to make it, and that really reflects in the music and the gameplay. The enemies, the mice in the caves, the bats, the dungeon music, the overworld music, the items, the puzzles. It just feels so Zelda-ish. It's amazing really, no game comes closer to this one, in my personal opinion.

A Link to The Past, forever.

I do love the zelda games, but its usual ninty cash cowing - same game, slightly tweaky gimmick. But Windwaker wasn't just a gimmick with the sea travel, it opened up the world and really made the isolation of being seabound a thrill. Then you find a new island to explore and it all starts again.

Definitely my favourite zelda game.

by **SteHitch** » Sun Jun 10, 2012 4:03 pm

For me it's Wind Waker by far. It's timeless, accessible to all ages and just an unbelievably fun game.

I haven't played Skyward Sword but I have heard good things. I would love a HD version of Wind Waker even though it holds up perfectly as it is, even today. Imo, it was the best game of the last generation.

by **CrazyControllerGuy** » Sun Jun 10, 2012 9:23 pm

My favorite is tied between "A Link To The Past" and "Majora's Mask"

Windwaker is by far my favourite even my mum has completed it several times lol
