How Do You Prefer to Complete Zelda Games?

[Norm]

I just ger 'em over with, I try for 100% after I've beaten 'em once.

I usually jus go through, collecting what I come across. But when I replay them I go for 100% completion

Normally, my first run is for playing causally, finding secrets and trying to complete the game as fully as possible on my own. My next gamr is normally with a walkthrough and aiming for a 100%walkthrough. The final game is normally for a challenge. I'm currently doing a Rupee challenge in Ocarina of Time in which I must purchase all my supplie, except recovery hearts.

On my first play through I'll almost always try to see and do everything available. On subsequent plays however I usually just go from dungeon to dungeon to see the story again. I've done a few 3 Heart Challenges as well.

seems i am with the majoity, I play it through for fun without using a guide.

I have never tried three heart challenge. I think its because I end up accidently getting a piece of heart (which leads to at least 4) then I get an extra heart and so I just gave up on trying to do that.

I do several of the things you mentioned. I generally try for 100% on my first playthrough then just play the parts I enjoy on the second playthrough (for instance in Majora's Mask my second playthrough was still a 100% run but for Skyward Sword I neglected the Goddess Cubes on my second playthrough). After I become too familar with a game I start trying for minimalist runs if there's enough to skip to make it worthwhile. Then if I really am desperate for a challenge I'll speed run a game.

I complete them by just going through the game, and doing a little extra things on the way, if i wanna get everything i go back through and find stuff. but other then that i casually play.

I mainly just play a Zelda game casualy. I just can't be bothered to 100% a Zelda Game unless I'm really bored. I only go a bit extra if there is a sidequest Item that I really like to have (e.g. Biggoron Sword in Ocarina of Time, etc.).

 

[Vanessa28]

The first time I go for the game itself and explore things but don't try to beat it 100%. I first want to beat the game. The times after I usually do all sidequests etc and try to beat it 100%

 

[Mrflamexd3]

I like going through the game and beating the story first, but as you can see by my signature, after that I beat it 100%

 

[nsanesk8er16]

depends on which game im playing. most of them i like to do a complete 100% of the game however some im just satisfied with completing the game

 

[n3rdatheart]

My first run through, I like to just play. Explore what I can, get what I find, do things my own way, get distracted by random sidequests if I feel like it.
The second time, I like to use walkthroughs if I have to in order to 100% it.
The third time, I like to see how fast I can do it in. No sidequests, do what I HAVE to, and beat it in the smallest amount of time over the fewest number of days possible.
Any time after that, I play however I feel like, a lot of times with nostalgia and with forgetting that I have to talk to certain people to make them let me do things XD
I've yet to do a 3 heart challenge, but I feel like I should...I kinda also wanna do the OoT Uber Challenge<3

 

[Tadpole]

I like to try for the 100% but if a part annoys me and is unneeded I tend to cut it out and move on. So I am more of a 80% person. I really do try for that 100 though. It's just not achievable sometimes.

 

[IamDazed]

I used a walkthrough with Oot and MM because I R noob
But I plan on trying to go 100% on TP and SS on my own

Scandalous, I have NEVER used a walkthrough or an instruction manual of any kind!

I go for 100%

 

[Link12]

Nooooo i don't 1OO % the game
