I just finished Ocarina of Time again for the first time in about 15 years. Man, I knew this game was good, but it still amazes me how good it is. The characters, the story, the music, everything is just dripping with quality.

When I was a kid, Ronald McDonald scared me to death. I had many nightmares about this effing clown. I used to collect spiders. I've had pet snakes. I'm not really afraid of anything. But I still would love to bash that guy's face in. I wouldn't even go to the play area at McDonalds as a...

Just had BBQ'd chicken and asparagus. Then I found some marshmallows, chocolate, and bananas. I mixed them together in some foil and threw it on the Q. The result was amazing. Here's a photo..

It has to be the Deku Nuts from Ocarina of Time. These things are so useless, for both child and adult Link. I mean, has anyone ever used these for any reason, ever?

I don't like this idea. I LOVE this idea. Nintendo: please, please do this. Ocarina of Time on the 3DS is an amazing experience, and the game is gorgeous. I think re-doing MM in the same fashion is a no-brainer.

Well, I am clearly older than most people here... I was about 9 years old (1988). I played a little bit of LoZ at a friend's house, but without knowing what to do, I didn't really like the game, and quickly went back to playing Super Mario Bros. A short time later, my mom gave me LoZ for a...

Since when does damsel in distress = sexist? Zelda does, at times, appear to be helpless when in the clutches of Ganon. Is this sexist? She is not portrayed as weak; just captured. Is it sexist that Link is male a Zelda is female? Zelda is so important that it causes Link to risk his life...

I think the next Zelda game needs to take some risks. The franchise is at risk of becoming stale. The great thing about The Legend of Zelda is that it is a legend. They should take this concept and do something they have never done before. I'm not sure exactly what they should do, but it...

LoZ is the shortest game. I just went through the first quest in less than 2 hours. However, if you don't know where all of the items are and hidden dungeons, it would take much, much longer. I think the easiest is Link's Awakening. I just went through this game as well for the first time...

Did anyone ever wonder why the first two Zelda games were made with gold-colored cartridges? I never really thought about it. I mean, it's not like gold is a theme in The Legend of Zelda. In fact, I don't believe gold is ever mentioned in any form. The currency is rupees. The only rings...

I have completed this game many times over the years. I think it's one of the better titles on the NES. There are a couple of tricks you must know in order to beat the game: 1. Save all of the extra lives for your final trip to the end palace. I honestly don't think the game is possible...

Tetris (Gameboy) - It came with the system, but I played the crap out of this game because it is a brilliant and addictive game. Super Mario Bros. - Not much to say about this. Pure classic and countless hours logged. Final Fantasy III (SNES) - My personal favorite all-time video game. I...

I would love to see a sequel to: Zelda 2 Link's Awakening OoT TP

I have been reading a book called The Happiness Advantage, by Shawn Achor. The theme of the book is this: Success does not create happiness. Happiness creates success.

Based on the number of quality hours I have spent playing these games, I rank my favorite series as follows: 1. Zelda 2. Mario 3. Final Fantasy 4. Metroid 5. Call of Duty 6. Guitar Hero 7. Super Mario Kart

I don't see a problem with this. Ask yourself, do you want every Zelda game to continue following the same formula forever? Technology changes. The way we play video games continues to change. The Zelda franchise needs to change with the times.

One thing that really puts OoT in a league of its own is how playable the game is today. Let's face it, we all grew up with some games that we loved, but have been ruined by much more advanced games in the same genre. For example, I spent a lot of time playing Shadows of the Empire and...

I couldn't agree more. Rupees: Who cares? Honestly. Music: This is one of the better sound tracks on the N64 and still holds up today. Have you ever been to the lost woods, the forest temple, or the temple of time? Sometimes, I will talk to the owl just to hear the music...

My thoughts exactly. This game shouldn't be Skyrim-long, but I'd like to see it in the neighborhood of 100 hours. Most importantly, I want a reason to buy a Wii U.

I really don't like fishing in any Zelda game. It just seems like a chore and I don't think it's fun. This is odd, because fishing and Zelda are two of my passions in life.

I happen to love this game. Yes, the game is difficult, but it's not unbeatable. If you know what you're doing, you can go through the game in a few hours. The key is to figure out the trick to defeating the hardest enemies. Even the Iron Knuckles are rather simple one you figure out how to...

When the game came out in 1993, it was fantastic. I think it still ranks as one of the top portable games of that decade. The level design is terrific; the music is top-notch. It really is a great game. I recently went through it (for the first time in at least 15 years) and my biggest...

Mario wins - no contest. The truly unbelievable thing about Mario games over the years is the quality and quantity. Much like Zelda in that respect. Even back in the 2D era, the depth involved in games like SMB3 and SMW is just mind boggling. Raccoon suits, capes, mini-games, countless...

I personally hated the way the stylus was used in PH/ST. While I think Nintendo has done some very innovative things in the past decade, they sometimes go too far. Nintendo needs to realize that just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD. This goes for the stylus in PH/ST...

For me it's the entire experience. It's the game play, the music, the characters, the story, the exploration, the beauty of the terrain, mountains & lakes. I love the dungeons and the puzzles in them. All of these come together to make a good Zelda game. With just one of the above...

Just for kicks, I looked up the actors who voiced Link and Zelda in the animated TV show from 1989. Jonathan Potts was the voice of Link. Here's the Link to IMDB page (puns are just so fun): Jonathan Potts - IMDb The voice of Zelda was Cynthia Preston. Cynthia Preston - IMDb I am not...

I agree. Definitely a creepy place. The music added a lot to the creepiness too. Such a great temple.

Maybe I was too hard on Link's Awakening. I really do like this game. My only complaints are that the levels are way too easy and therefore the game is pretty short. The music is fantastic, and the story is pretty good too. I am currently halfway through Seasons and I am yet to play Ages...

In my opinion, OoT and LTTP have both aged extremely well. The music never gets old. The level of fun combined with the epic story in each game will never get old. These games are timeless masterpieces. The Zelda games that have not aged well, IMO, are the game boy ones: Link's Awakening...

Samus / Metroid Joanna / Perfect Dark Chun Li / Street Fighter 2 Terra / Final Fantasy 3

I have never played: Oracle of Ages Four Swords I began a quest about a month ago to complete every Zelda game, so these games will be played soon!

I think it's the difficulty that turns most people away. There are so many areas in this game that can completely stump you to the point where you just stop playing it. For example: You have to randomly find a guy in the woods who gives you a note to show to the river man who will...

Ocarina of Time is a masterpiece. Everything about this game drips with quality. Memorable characters, an epic story, a superb soundtrack, depth, beautiful graphics... this game is as close to perfect as it gets. That being said, I voted 'too close to call,' because of one game: Final Fantasy...

I really feel like the final dungeon is the hardest part about this game. Just getting to this palace is a feat and will most likely cost you at least one life. The only way to do it is to save all of the extra lives throughout the game for this final trek into treachery and hell. Once you...

Well, I grew up in the 90s, so I'm a bit partial to SNES. Final Fantasy III (VI) is my single favorite game of all time. Anyone who hasn't played this masterpiece... stop reading this post and go play it. You can download in on the Wii for about ten bucks. Super Metroid is very high on...

I first played The Legend of Zelda at a friend's house and I didn't understand it. The next thing I knew, my mom bought me the game for my birthday. I quickly fell in love with it, and thanks to the first issue of Nintendo Power, I finally understood what to do.

The only reason I bought a Wii was Zelda. SMG 1 and 2 are also incredible games. DKC Returns was fantastic. Oh, and Skyward Sword is pretty good too. My point is, I continue to buy Nintendo 1st party games because they are f'ing amazing. I've questioned a lot of the decisions made by...

I enjoy just about all of the different terrains in the LoZ series. What I would really like to see in the next Zelda game is to have different islands / continents; something similar to Zelda II or the early Final Fantasy games. The thought of a huge, vast, unexplored land that you can see...

I would have to say WW and PH are my least favorites. To be fair, I have not completed either of these games, so perhaps I just missed something. My favorite element of The Legend of Zelda is exploration. Going from point A to point B while running into a countless number of enemies, caves...
