Worst story

[Midna666]

Which Zelda game do you think has the weakest plot.

[MrMosley]

The Legend of Zelda has the weakest story because it has no depth at all.

*There is a thing called the Triforce. It is powerful. Princess of Hyrule Zelda breaks the Triforce of Wisdom into 8 pieces to keep Ganon from getting it. Ganon steals the Triforce of Power and kidnaps Zelda. Link has to find the 8 pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom and rescue Zelda.* (no mention of the Triforce of Courage)

Being the first in the series, Miyamoto didn't have to really create a full-fledged awesome storyline. The people who create new games never know if they are going to be a success or not, so a second or third part to a game is never promised, so a lot of the older games like for the NES didn't have very elaborate stories.

Other than that I might say Minish Cap because it absolutely cannot hold my attention. I have tried and tried to play that game and never can finish it.

[Midna666]

I think that Zelda 2 has the weakest plot.
The bad guy in the game dies in the games backstory,so he has pretty much no impact in the game.
And the sleeping Zelda in this game is said to be the first Princess Zelda,which makes no sense.

I havn 't played AoL.

So judging by the zelda titles i played, i would go say TMC.

The storyline is a little too simple compared to other zelda titles (that i played).
Its just to strait foreward and liniar! the only unexpected thing is that zelda has the light force! (well i kinda guessed that before i actually knew it)

Of course it's going to be the First Legend of Zelda. It didn't really have much to it other than you need to get the 8 pieces of Triforce so you can save Zelda and kill Ganon.

Can't get much more not detailed then that.

The Legend of Zelda was the first of an incredible series, and quite frankly - I think there storyline was rather advanced compared to a majority of the games released for the NES. So for the time, and comparing it to other games - the story to me isn't very weak at all.

I cannot say which story would appear to be the weakest to me, because they all have flaws in the stories, but I cannot think of one that I could say have the worst storyline for a game in the time period that it was created.

Loz for sure, there was no real story, just saving Zelda and killing Ganon. Also, Aol was pretty weak, it just had no real plot.

Loz. it has that super mario style story. ganon prisons zelda and link must save him

[owenshev]

You can't really blame LoZ for not having a good story. It wasn't meant to be something like Twilight Princess straight away. The series had gradually evolved, thus making people think LoZ has a weak story. I'll admit, it's the same usual save-the-girl-beat the bad-guy, but back in the day, it was a massive game. It was actually one of the NES games that used the most memory to store.

Weakest story for me (based on the games I've played) I'd say TMC. I never really got into it that much. There are good concepts in it but the storyline dosen't really hold up. That said, it's one of my favourites

[Master Link]

The one with the weakest story would have to be TMC. It didn't have enought plot twists. It is very Straight forward like Onilink stated.

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

The Original was fun, but it had absolutely NO plot whatsoever.

[Skull_Kid]

It had a plot, but, like pople said before, it was as game that was realesed more than 20 years ago, so, for the time it was released, it had a great story... The weakest plot i have to say that is probably AoL... I just don't like the sleepign beauty style of it

[Dark Link '98]

I agree. LoZ is a pain in the ***. I don't even know why I even bother trying to write a story of it.

[Dragon Tamer]

I didn't really think the first game had a good plot.

[Bluelink6]

Worst ? probably loz. Best ? Ocarina of time, imo.
