Sorry about all the options, but I figured I shouldn't leave any out just to be fair. So, what is your favorite. Could it be Legend of Zelda, because your a sticler for nostalgia? Could it be OoT because of the sheer expanibility of the already wonderful franchise it brought? Or is it Majora, because of the introduction of that one weird moon? Or The Wind Walker because of its anime-type look? It's your choice.
-
I would have to go with Majora's Mask, or Ocarina of Time. They are both SO good! I just love the classic N64 style. But, I voted for Ocarina of Time, because it's still slightly better.
By the way, have you beaten Gyorg yet?
-
Yep! ;D
-
Oh, and mabey you should delete the Twilight Princess one, because of course it will be the best. Everyone will be voting for it.
-
It was a tie between OoT and WW. In the end, I choose by who came first alphabetically.
-
A Link to the Past is my favorite Zelda game. Though I really do have an affinity for each and every one of them. Something I share with very few other series.
-
Yeah, I don't think any Zelda game has been a "mistake" before. No wait, I lied. Four Swords Adventures was a mistake, but it was made by a different company mostly. The reason is that it's 2D. I mean, it's on the GameCube! Plus, they try to steal your money because you need at least two or more GameBoys JUST to play multiplayer. I mean, there's billions of other ways they could've done it! I hated that...

I found the 2-D style very reminiscent of A Link to the Past, and while a bit dull while playing single player, it was immensely fun while play with three other friends. Dare I say, too much fun.
I don't see why there's a feeling that there no place for 2-D games in our current generation. 2-D games are a style of their own, and my personal opinion is that they can often look better than a 3-D game. Truth be told, my favorite games are 2-D sprite-based games and while I can understand other people not caring for that style, I don't see a need to call a game utilizing it a mistake.
A little off topic, I apologize. The Zelda series is not without its flaws, certainly. I have no played them, but the general consensus is that the CDi Zelda games were very bad. Judging from what I have seen of them it seems an accurate description.
-
I voted the original. Why? Because I can.
Nah, seriously, it's the only one I've played. *Cries*
-
Nothing can beat the OoT for the N64.
In my opinion, it is EVEN better than SM64. It scared the bejesus outta me, since I am such a scaredy cat. I got scared with Pikmin 2 for goodness sakes!
-
OoT kicks all butt. I loved that game. There are no flaws, in my eyes... I've only played a couple Zelda games after all, and OoT is all I'll ever need. Twilight Princess included.
-
I'll vote Zelda 2!
...Such an underrated game...

I'm not saying 2D is bad, just that it would be better if it was on the GameBoy Advance or DS. Plus, it costs more than what it's worth. $50? Yeah right...
-
I liked Majora's Mask only because of Clock Town, but it was good all the way through. The real favorite Zelda game is the Wind Waker one of the reasons is because of the Tingle Tuner. The other reason is everything else that makde the game bright and beautiful.
-
As deep and involved as the later, 3D Link (Zelda gets WAY too much credit in these games, seriously) games are, I have a certain affinity for A Link to the Past, and I don't quite know why... It was just enjoyable, and fun. Hard to say. The 3D games never really got my interest, I don't know. I think the fact that I had to ask someone else to beat the part right at the beginning of OoT where you have to sneak past guards (because I failed several hundreds of times before even getting to the castle. Really.) discouraged me from really getting into the game. I don't know.
And I'd GLADLY pay $50 if Nintendo made a spiffy new classic-style 2D platform game for the Gamecube. Honestly. Nothing wrong with a new 2D game, at all.
-
Favorite: Ocareana of Time. Sadly, I've never played Majora's Mask.
Least Favorite out of those: Wind Waker. Sorry people, but out of all the Zelda games I've played, WW is the worst. I'm willing to give of reasons why I dislike it if you want me to say so.
-
As long as your reason isn't "Crappy graphics" I'm fine with your opinion.
I predict Twilight Princess shall be greater than all.
-
Link to the Past all the way! It's the greatest single-player game ever made YAY! Or at least, it's the best single player game I've ever played... Or maybe it's second to Metroid Prime.... um... IT'S GOOD!
OOT was good, but LTTP beats it for these reasons three:
-LTTP is longer
-LTTP is harder, combat-wise
-LTTP is harder, puzzle-wise.

Like I said, it's not because it's 2D, it's because it wasn't that good, also, it belongs on the GBA or DS.
-

Nerver played Majora's Mask? You don't know what you're missing! I've played and beaten it ten times, yet am still not tired of it! ;D
-
Ditto. Except I've only beat it 3 or 4 times. Shows how commited I am... :(
Oh, and great spelling of ocarina, Poop Dude.
-
I chose Majora's Mask, because it is always overshadowed by its predecessor, Ocarina of Time.
I actually like the three day system, and a lot of the characters have a bit more depth to them than in Ocarina, like Anju and Kafei.
That, and playing as a Zora is awesome.
-
Not as awesome as it is playing as Oni Link at the end.
-
Yeah, let's not say anymore about Fierce Deity. It's kind of spoiling. :P Or, you can do like what I did and make the font invisible.
-
Oops, sorry. Think of it this way; at least I'm not giving away secerts from Twilight Princess. I mean, this game has been out for like...5 years.
-
I voted the original. Why? Because I can.
Nah, seriously, it's the only one I've played. *Cries*
Don't cry. It pwns all because of its nostalgia. It rocks!! Those that voted OoT are n00bs. See. I said that. In your face!! the original pwns all.
-
Can I die yet?
-

Nostalgia isn't a good enough reason to make a game better than others.
and would you please stop calling people who don't agree with your opinions n00bs?
-
I agree. If your going to make fun of people, then at least spell newb correctly.
-
N00b is another type of newb from what I hear, n00b is a bad new guy that does all sorts of spam, not a fan of new games!!
-
No, Noob is a character from Mortal Kombat who's last name is Saibot. He was the original Sub-Zero. If you say his name backwards, you get tobiaS (as in co-creator John Tobias) and booN ( as in other co-creator Ed Boon).
-
Wow! That's an awesome easteregg! I can't believe nobody noticed that before.
-
Though, seeing as Mr. Tobias didn't take part in one of their recent projects, the character was named "Noob Smoke".
I'd like to think of newbies being people who just registered to a place, who might have a little trouble adjusting to a couple of the rules, but quickly get used to things afterward.
n00bs are people who constantly break rules, insult others, post constantly, make 5-10 new threads a day, and just don't get why they're disliked, when all they simply have to do is OBEY THE RULES.
-
Actually, I think n00bs are people who aren't good at anythng.
ex. I beat this n00b at Halo! He had 0 kills!
-
"n00b" is a leet term of "noob", and "noob" is a misspell of "newb", and "newb" is short for newbie. A newbie is a person that is new to a certain activity or group.
-
n00b is just another way of saying Troll. Though I prefer calling people trolls than n00bs because I always picture them as the Trollz from those toy commercials.
-
Though, seeing as Mr. Tobias didn't take part in one of their recent projects, the character was named "Noob Smoke".
No, actually, he's technicly still called Noob Saibot. If you look on one of the characters ending on Deception, you will see that he is called Noob Saibot, which he is also called on Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. Noob-Smoke was just a combination between Noob and Cyborg Smoke.
-
I've only ever seen Noob Saibot. What game is this Noob Smoke in?
-
Eh, I forget the title. It was one of the recent ones.
-
Mortal Kombat Deception, i think
-
For me it's a tie between "A Link to the Past" and "Ocarina of Time"
-
My top five:
1 Ocarina of Time
2 A Link to the Past
3 Four Swords
4 Link's Awakening
5 The Minish Cap
-
I've only played Adventure of Link. And I'm not very good, either. So I won't vote yet... but judging form the trophies in SSBM, I should download MM and OoT when I get a REV. Or look for them at GameStop.
Edit, if anyone cares: I did get OoT. I'm such an idiot, I should have waited for my birthday and gotten my parents to get me the Collector's Edition.
-
Tie between Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past
-
In Wind Waker I thought it was really cool that when you went into the chamber where you get the master sword, there are all these stained glass windows where you can see characters from OoT:
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geocities.com%2Fnkeklund%2Fthewindwakerpic3.jpg&hash=d03db74bc60ab29a791f41be37083c70)
See, the green window on the left is the Saria one, and the orangish one to the right has gorons from OoT, while the one in the middle has a picture of Ganon being vanquished, but can't really see it from this angle.
-
Your pic is expired, LZR. I know you're Hyrulian, but I just like to call you LZR. :D
I just now got Zelda: Collector's Edition. ;D ;D ;D I haven't played OoT since the beginning of 2005! I just now got out of Kokiri Forest, but I was mostly just messing around. But, why in the world did Saria put glitter on my ocarina? When she gave it to me, it was all glittery...
-
Hey, I was wondering if the graphics were any better on the collector's edition. Just wondering.
Hyrulian, I can't see the pic. Is there a... Link... to it?
-
Graphics are the same.

Hmm...that's weird, because I can see it. But I'll make a "link" to it later. Hey, and Khold, I was also thinking of getting the collector's edition since I lost my N64 version, so is it pretty good?
-
I read that since the ROM is different, the 64 games skip at parts... or something like that, loss of save files... I really should get the collector's edition, since I'll be putting my 64 in a box when I get a Revolution... Dang amazon ones are $50 though.

I thought it was really cool that throughout that scene they played music from Link to the Past.
I loved the graphics style of Wind Waker and the fighting system had a ton of potential, but Nintendo completely ruined the game by making the combat WAY too easy. The enemies all gave out ridiculous numbers of hearts when they died. I didn't need 15 hearts to refill my life gauge after killing an enemy in three hits. I found the easy combat to be both boring and insulting, especially the boss fights.
Metroid Prime didn't have this problem at all. Its dificulty level was pretty much perfect. That was a great game...
-
I find all the non-NES Zeldas to be just about perfect gaming experiences, so I can't vote for a favorite.
I just beat Metroid Prime on Hard last night. 100% items and scans. Now I finally have all four picture galleries. :)
Graphics are the same.
Actually I think they're higher resolution.
-
If so the resolution must be only a tad higher because I just played OoT on N64 last night after playing OoT on the CE not long before that and didn't notice a difference.
-
The gold OoT carts are different from the GCN versions and most grey carts. There's a cool chanting in the gold cart's Fire Temple, and Ganondorf coughs out blood! On most grey carts and the GCN versions, Ganondorf coughs out a sickly green goop. I prefer the blood cause it looks more natural.
-
I have the grey cartrage. Ganondorf coughs up blood. There is also the "cool" chanting.
-
That's why I said most grey carts.
-
"Most". One of the greatest backpeddling words of our language.
-
Woah, blood? Cool, I'm about to enter Ganon's Castle anyway.
-
The back of the case says "faithfully reproduced and displayed in high resolution".
Also, it has the Progressive Scan Compatible icon so maybe that's what it's talking about.
-
Zelda:OOT is just freaking awesome!!!!!!!! NOTE:On a google OOT time attack I saw Ganondorf puke Blood and it was small, probaly because they used to try to get only E games and the Green Puke was WAY bigger!
