Look at the first 10 full games in the series: LOZ, AOL, ALTTP, LA, OOT, MM, OOA, OOS, FS, TWW. 8 widely acclaimed highly influential titles and only 2 duds. Since then, the series has gotten inconsistent (some really good, and some not so good) and none of the later Zelda games had the same...

It's not a bad game, but it's certainly not in my top 10 either. To best summarize it, I think TFH is the best of the worst Zelda games. I don't think TFH even touches LOZ, ALTTP, LA, OOT, OOA, OOS, MM, TWW, TMC, TP, SS, and ALBW. At the bottom: Four Swords was a sandwich short of a picnic...

Just a wishlist. Choose your background/items design between 1 or 3 games: Legend of Zelda (NES) -- You can pick from a variety of colors to change the dungeon color.. A Link to the Past (SNES) - Choose from "Skull Woods", "Ice Palace", "Tower of Hera", "Desert", "Swamp Palace", "Turtle Rock"...

IMO, No. But of course, I personally do not like Skyrim (even though I can objectively say it's a good game for the majority of gamers). The attention to detail, immersion, emphasis on player freedom and ambition are all things that are praiseworthy, and as principles should be emulated in...

Displayed in 1080p on Nintendo's next gen console. All blurry/low-poly textures are redone Characters and cutscenes are entirely re-animated Soundtrack is redone with a live orchestra Save/checkpoint statues available throughout the overworld A save statue will be available near the mini-boss...

2011 was a competitive year with so many acclaimed games: Portal 2, LA Noire, Uncharted 3, Gears of War 3, Dark Souls, Skyrim, Batman and so on. 2012, however, was a much less eventful year. If Skyward Sword had been delayed 2 months, it would have won dozens of game of the year awards and the...

Graphics - SS SS's abstract art ages better and is more unique for the series. TP's art is a rehash of OOT and MM. Sound - SS SS's sound gets the full orchestral treatment whereas TP's is mostly poorly synthesized sound loops. Overworld - SS SS's ground world may be small but each area is...

We talk about all games in terms of what they could have done differently, but with Zelda 1 you can only look in terms of what technology they had at the time. Particularly, one thing that could have bettered the game was adding more secret passages of practical value. Map (for reference)...

Open world is the big new thing now that the technology is available. It feels like almost every franchise is trying to do it. And I think, in a couple years, we're going to be sick of them (just as we were last gen, with realistic shooters). Open worlds aren't bad on their own, but it's not...

I meant to say E3 2015. Mods, please change it. :) It looks good and it's flashy. It looks like it's going the open world route. It's the colorful game of a nostalgic franchise that we've been waiting a decade for. As far as the gameplay goes, it looks good. It does feel like more of...

Was thinking about it for a while but E3 confirmed that I want to sell my Wii U and 3DS. If Zelda U and/or Advance Wars 5 come out, I can always re-buy, but by then I might not be that into gaming. I'm already fading toward the casual side of gaming now, with exception to E3 which was a nerd...

Milking Assassin Creed sore Excessive cut content DLC's Weak storywriting. Douchey dudebro protagonists. Overworlds with little to do. Games follow the same formula. Rushed games with glitches.

I can see why some may be excited. The more the merrier. There will be some people who love this game, and more choices for the consumer is a good thing. But from an artistic point of view, I'm a minimalist. And I see quality over quantity. In a series of 17 games, we don't need a bushel of...

Four Swords and Four Sword Adventures have their fans, but typically they haven't aged well in the long term. Four Swords has no multiplayer unless you have a friend and 2 GBA's. Four Sword Adventures requires 3 friends and 4 GBA's, which is even less feasible. Online play does make Tri...

Last gen, it felt like every other game was a shooter. This gen, so many series' (like Uncharted, Need For Speed and so many more) are incorporating open world elements. Zelda did practically invent the overworld but right now Zelda U, from what I've seen, feels like just another contender in...

Woodfall Swamp - The first impression. Being a small deku in a dark corrupted swamp. Ikana Valley - Some really creepy stuff. Definitely adds that dark vibe to the game. Great Bay - Cool atmosphere. Lots of storytelling in there. Collecting eggs sucks though. Snowhead - Yuck. Pain in the...

Intro It's a game I have mixed feelings on, compared to the other Zelda games, but overall, it's one of the best games on the GBA and still a pretty damn good game in its own right. After making the Oracle games, Nintendo enlisted Capcom's help again for The Minish Cap (the last time Nintendo...

Jay-Z ranked his albums not too long ago. This is probably what it would be like if he ranked the Zelda games. 1. Ocarina of Time (Classic) 2. A Link to the Past (Classic) 3. Legend of Zelda (Classic) 4. The Wind Waker (Classic) 5. Link's Awakening (4 1/2, cohesive) 6. Twilight Princess...

Hard to rank because each dungeon has its own unique strengths. All of them could've been a bit better in some way but it's a good set of dungeons overall. #6 Fortress of Winds It's a wind temple with no wind. Not much atmosphere. Looks and sounds generic. Easy to get lost in, which I...

Overall, PH's dungeons are very simplistic and linear compared to the majority of games in the series. They're still fun though. #8 - Temple of Wind I liked the sand worm room and that's it. Not much combat, weak boss, wind puzzles were dull. Felt generic overall. #7 - Temple of Fire...

Eastern Palace (ALBW) With the introduction of 3D concepts such as wall-merging, ALBW's wins. Desert Palace (ALBW) Definitely more a of challenge in ALBW, and less redundant rooms. But nostalgia of ALTTP tho. Tower of Hera (ALBW) ALTTP's version was bigger and more complex, but ALBW's has the...

The first time I played the game, I liked it but found it too frustrating to rank high amongst the Zelda games. Then, later on, I sort of went through this hipstery phase where I had Majora's Mask in my top 3. I wanted to prove video games were artful and that Ocarina of Time wasn't the only...

His launch of Tidal was considered to be a failure. With Spotify providing an excellent service, his program was facing stiff competition out the gate. I wouldn't count out Tidal all the way yet, but with a business, you have to think of a customer's want - not just the employees wants.

Only the platforming games in the series count. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) - Strong level design, color and diversity. Innovates with the anti-gravity. Super Mario World (SNES) - Excellent atmosphere. Quality title all around. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii) - More of that same great gameplay...

insensitive.

I can certainly feel a difference. My love toward gaming has been waning down during the past few years. Been getting into new interests & hobbies. I feel like games profoundly impacted me as a kid but now they've become more of a "like" and less of a "love". I don't mean to trivialize any...

I think when the game comes out, we'll probably have 100 posts on here about why the game failed to live up to the hype, despite it being a near-perfect title. I.e. "The ice in the ice dungeon is too slippery. The hookshot is ugly looking. Epona's voice isn't as good as it was in Twilight...

To start out with, if you're relatively new to action games: The Wind Waker - An easy accessible (and fun) 3D Zelda game (GCN, 2003) The Minish Cap - An easy accessible (and fun) 2D Zelda game (GBA, 2005) To start out with, if you're well experienced with action games: A Link to the Past -...

I'm strongly considering selling my Wii U. I'm growing out of gaming, it's taking up space, I'm moving soon, I want to declutter and I find the system's library lacking in original titles. So, here are my options: Sell my games. Keep my Wii U boxed up. Take it with me when I move. And then...

Pretty much the same order I always had them. Stone Tower Temple - The mach daddy of temples. It's big, long, has puzzles for each mask, flips upside down for an entirely new perspective, spooky atmosphere, and Link turns into the hulk. Great Bay Temple - This dungeon is more than just a...

99% of the discussions I've seen were purely on how to beat the quest. But not what the quest means or why it's worth playing. So, I'll start here. With a critical eye, of course: Is Anju technically a pedophile? Or who cares because everyone's gonna die? Kafei was going to potentially...

Sorry. I meant to post this in Gaming Forum. Can a mod please move this to the correct forum? Lifelong Nintendo fan. Had most of the consoles and handhelds they made and loved them, but it's been going downhill lately. The Wii was really fun at first but got old fast and suffered droughts...

The Early Era Legend of Zelda - practically invented the adventure genre Adventure of Link - was a slip-up but in relative terms, one of the best games of the year A Link to the Past - defining game ; expanded on the original in every way with great magnitude. Link's Awakening - totally new...

IMO, SM64 was much more influential but SMG is an overall better game. 64 has the exploration elements and sense of discovery I love but Galaxy is just significantly better in visuals, sound, level design, bosses, creativity, concepts, sheer amount of content, pacing, flow in combat. SM64 just...

Any writer will understand where Aunoma is coming from. It takes three times as long to edit and proofread than it takes to write.

In the original version, any items and attacks worked on Odolwa, but using the Deku Flower to sneak behind him was recommended. In the 3DS version, it was the only way to defeat him. And by making only the damage toward his newly added eye count toward winning the fight, it abandoned the...

Two years later, now that the hype has passed, we can look at it objectively. And to be fair, there's less overrating and over-hating going on than there was before. The core gameplay feels like a generic though entertaining stock shooter. The individual mechanics such as shields (which were...

Despite being one of the most highly praised titles of it's generation, I didn't personally feel like it was a good game. The voice acting, animation and visuals are superb but that is where my adoration of the game begins and ends. The gameplay was repetitive and formulaic. Ride your horse...

HL1 transformed the first-person shooter genre HL2 wasn't quite as transforming, but still stood as one of the best games of its gen. HL1 used its environment to naturally tell a story. Show - not tell, as they say in literature. HL2 told it's story mostly through real-time cutscenes you...

Both have their merit. Portal 2 succeeds as a video game, by far. It has more content, more lore, more jokes, more puzzles and level editor. It took what we loved about Portal and expanded it, in spades. Portal 1, however, is more of an art. It's minimalist, pure and focused. Opts for...

These ratings are relative to all other games released in that year and all the games on that platform. Legend of Zelda (1986) - 10/10 II: Adventure of Link (1987) - 8/10 A Link to the Past (1990) - 10/10 Link's Awakening (1993) - 10/10 Ocarina of Time (1998) - 10/10 Majora's Mask (2000) - 9/10...

I'll write my brief history here, and I'd like to hear your stories. Again, this is more about our individual experiences and where we were in our life. So me being more satisfied with X console doesn't mean it's necessarily better than Y console. Playstation - 2/5 My mom bought it for me out...

I believe that the gaming medium is getting stronger with stories and has potential, but at the same time, games are still entertainment. I agree that some storytelling is necessary. There needs to be a purpose for doing what you're doing. But at the same time, I wouldn't consider it just as...

I originally wanted to convince myself that this was better than PH because it seemed to have topped it in nearly every single way, but in the end, Spirit Tracks, just wasn't, at least to me, very fun. I think about Miyamoto's design processes of games, like Mario 64 for example which started...

When it came out, I did feel like it was underrated. In recent years, it got a big jump of approval but I also think it received so much hype that it now has crazy-high expectations. I understand that emphasis on storytelling has been more of an issue over the past few years, but that...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E05cIHNKNE Surprised this game never got it's own thread on here before. Was always interested in this game since I like turn-based strategy games and this game felt like a new twist on it. I finally got around to playing it this week. I beat it and I loved...

Although I said I was going to get it at launch, I don't want to. During January I beat ALTTP, ALBW and LA so I need a bit of a rest. So right now I'm catching up on some games I missed in 2014. I've played nothing but Nintendo games for the past few months so I want to branch out. I'll...

With Mario Maker announced, game that allows you to create you own Super Mario levels, I thought this would be perfect with Zelda, since you'd be able to create your own dungeons. You can spawn enemies wherever you want and such. For puzzles, I'd look in terms of what Portal 2 did. You can...
