Favourite Zelda game and why?
| Wand of Gamelon
| Twilight princess and wind waker
| Wind waker and Minish Cap
| Zelda Link Solid: Survive
| Majora's Mask for the themes of death and healing
| Majora's mask for being less about the adventure and saving the world and more about the people you meet along the way and why you should want to save them. I wish more Zelda games focused on them like MM did.
| minish cap because it was my first zelda game, or at least the first one i can remember
| Definitely Link's Awakening, since it was my first one
| Link to the past (my first zelda)
| I'm surprised nobody mentioned Ocarina of Time.
| Wind Waker. Love sailing.
| Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Minish Cap
| Game grumps hehe
| Botw and Finish Cap

Ocarina of Time is not overrated if everyone says it is, also those who say it often never started on the N64 version or think Botw is the best Zelda game even though they didn't play any other game or just tried but "Omg puzzles are so boring and difficult" Anyhow you can't just pretend OOT is still the MP it was, its a game from the past, it aged, you cant just compare a 64 bit era game with
Games from now. It Oot were released with the knowing of today, we would lose it
| And now about my favourite:
Majora's Mask, Wind Waker or Minish cap, love so many people here love those too, lately I have only found people who says Botw and ALBW are the better than any Zelda game. Botw I don't say no (is my top 9 or something even though lower doesn't I don't like it, I really did like it xD) but please, ALBW, was it even a good game? It's the only game in my life I never replayed, and I gave a second chance to Sonic 06, imagine it.
| >>d869e8 OP here. I understand where you're coming from. It depends on which game you had a personal connection to rather than which game has the best mechanics etc etc. For me, Link's awakening was the first Zelda game I played and it had a proper impact on me. And you probably have your own reasons for preferring OoT and that's perfectly fine. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
| My favorite 2d is links awakening. My 3d choice is windwaker followed by majoras mask.

i think its just that OOT was considered this miracle best game of all time for so long that, now that people realized that its not perfect, there's still some stigma that everyone still thinks it is perfect so it gets called overrated just as often now.
| Twilight princess because (in my opinion) it has the best combat, the most interesting setting/world, and my favorite characters.
| >>241285
Yeah, Twilight Princess has the best combat system balanced between all techiques and between enemies and doesn't requires you to hit the button in just one frame like parries in Botw, and regardless it is Wii Motion or not, the controls are well balanced too, not like in Botw when sometimes you feel you have to press a lot of buttons just to attack in air in the right direction. In 2D Zelda games it would be Minish Cap who wins by combat, and it moves fast
| When you talk about anything super famous and hyped up it's bound to be overrated, not neccesaraly because it's not good, but because the rating is so high that it's impossible to meet.
Anyway. Hard to pick just one favourite, as a lot of them are good in different ways. So my favourites are: A link to the past, Majora's Mask, Oracle of Ages/Seasons, Breath of the Wild and A link between worlds.
| The only one I didn't enjoy was skyward sword, It had some solid dungeons, but rest of it was pretty awful in both small and large ways.
| I really like A link to the Past's overworlds, It's pretty nice and open for exploration, but still leaves a lot to be unlocked later. I also like that most bosses can be killed with a variety of weapons/ways rather than later zeldas where it was all about the "use dungeon item on the boss three times" pattern
Majora's Mask I think has the best story, characters and side quests. It only has four dungeons, but it's still a very content dense game with a ton of memorable moments.
| I like the use of the magic meter in a Link between worlds as I'm the sort of gamer who always hordes things like arrows/bombs/mega-ultra-death-cannons in case I'll need them, which is rarely. But since in that game it was all on the recharging magic meter I felt free to approach enemies in whatever way I wanted without worrying about it. I also loved the new 2D-painting ability which makes you think about the layout of any area in a fresh new way, much like games like portal does.
| Oracle of Ages/Seasons are just solid fun games, and it's a nice excuse to play them repeatedly since things change depending on the order you play them in.
I don't think I really need to explain why Breath of the Wild is good.
| Twilight Princess
| I really like the first Zelda, been playing a bunch of Rom hacks of it.
Speaking of alternate versions of Zelda games, I had a TON of fun playing the BS-Zelda games along with the radio-play thing they had going on. I reccomend everyone maybe give that a shot. It's pretty unique n interesting.
| I tried to hack Zelda Nes myself with new sprites but they coded the game so weird there are some pixels that doesn't work (you really have 14 pixels of character, the 15th and the 16th are "mixed" with another 17th pixel)
| Idunno, I like a lot of Zelda games. Minish Cap, Windwaker, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks (yes, even these two), A Link Between Worlds. I guess my absolute favourite would be ALBW though. It just FEELS amazing.
| >>243702 yeah I've done some mario bros hacking and it also has some unintuitive sprite weirdness here and there.
| Phantom Hourglass. The sailing and bosses are the best.

| Probably Link's awakening for me. It's bittersweet storyline is what got me. BotW is a close second though.
