You have no childhood if you never played Zelda.

My favorite was by far Ocarina of Time. I completed it more times that I can remember, and I put so many hours into that game it's actually scary. I though the story was so awesome, and the atmosphere was so much better than any other game I have ever played. 10 out of 10 for me. However, I was a little disappointed with both majora's mask and the windwaker. Don't think phantom hourglass is too good either, but the twilight princess is quite okay. Can't match the good old though..

I heard that Ocarina of Time is spectacular, but I've never really played it that much, so I can't pass personal judgment on it. However, I have played the original, Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, Oracle of Ages, and a bit of both Oracle of Seaons and Minnish Cap. Out of all of those, I enjoy Link to the Past the most. I have never beaten it, but I've gotten far enough to really appreciate its complexity and depth (my last game stopped at Turtle Rock), especially considering the console limitations at the time.

The Ocarina of Time seemed to be spectacular in its days and even now. Playing it over and over never gets boring.

Right now, I'm not even sure if my N64 is working, I might need to check on it.

I'm guessing some of you people have a N64, yes?

Yeah, buried in a closet somewhere.

I don't have an N64 - never did - but I bought the Collector's Edition for the Gamecube, which contained both OoT and MM, and played OoT and MM for a couple hours. Really fun, but I never played them again for some odd reason. $:-\$

The only Zelda game that I've spent more than five hours on was Link to the Past. Excellent game.

I've never been able to really decide between Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. But I guess I can go with Seasons since it's more fighting oriented than Ages being more puzzle-solving and strategy oriented.

The first two for the NES. Especially A Link to the Past for the "RPG" elements, though Twilight Princess had the best fighting system.

IIRC, the first two for the NES were the original and some trippy side-scroller. Link to the Past was for the SNES.

My bad, ment The Adventure of Link

8th_account, your right. In Ocarina of Time, you couldn't slash your sword while riding on the horse until 3/4 of the way into the game. In Twighlight Princess you can do it anytime, and its pretty kick-ass.

You know I thought I read somewhere before Twilight Princess that the new Zelda would have multiplayer...

edit: eh mebbe it was confused with 4 Swords

Now lets talk about the chronological order. Heres some info, its been hotly debated for months, and maybe years.

The original way its was introduced was by its releases:

The Legend of Zelda
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Some people think that The Minish Cap should be first, because it introduces more to link, others think Link to the Past should be first because it has the word "Past" in it.Â Although I think that absurd, because you can't really judge by title, you have to judge by gameplay.Â What do you guys think?

I think the story isn't linear, the split timeline is correct where Ocarina of Time's two possible endings (Link as a child or as an adult) branch off into two directions. Majora's mask follows on from Ocarina of Time with link as a child whilst Twilight Princess follows on from Ocarina of Time with link as an adult.

Watch.

Well, it seems that Ocarina of Time would be the first of its series? Since it discusses Hyrule and how it was made by the 3 goddesses. And they don't talk about that until after 3 or 4 games.

Mangled* · « **Reply #33 on:** June 25, 2008, 04:34:04 pm »

It's the second game. It was originally the first but then The Minish cap preceded it.

Interesting. I'll do a little more research on this.

He just fucking told you, you don't need to research shit.

Although as long as nintendo doesn't make an official announcement about this they can fuck up that whole theory with a single game.

No they can't... it depends on various zelda games and controversies.

Mangled* · « **Reply #37 on:** June 25, 2008, 06:45:06 pm »

Controversies? What controversies?

Pick another word.

Personally I think the Legend of Zelda games never originally had and interlocking story. They made The Legend of Zelda 2 as a direct sequel, yes, but only based off of the success of the first game and thus began the milking of the franchise. I think then, the intention was to start from scratch with Ocarina of Time, replacing the original and depth-less story but then as they milked and milked the franchise they worked on creating sequels and prequels to link all the games together which was never the original intention.

Most of the games boil down to Defeat foe after long quest and save princess with the exceptional exception of Majora's Mask which I think had great time-based gameplay which no Zelda game since has managed to develop on.

Link's Awakening, that game was amazing.
