Favorite Zelda game outside of BoTW/ToTK/Ocarina

I’m going with Windwaker! I liked how different it was, especially the sea traversal and the cell-shaded grqphics! How about you, SW? Your favorite Zelda game out of Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom/Ocarina?

Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda game, so that one.

A Link to the Past

Apart from the Wind Waker I felt Phantom hourglass was a great follow up.

The touch controls could be seen as gimmicky, but to me it was the exact opposite: such a great use of the stylus to for example guide the boomerang or fix puzzles.

You excluded the three best games 🤣

So with that

Twilight Princess

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the SNES.

Four Swords adventures!

I had the most incredible experience when it came out: 4 GBAs, 4 friends and 4 GBA link cables. It was absolutely incredible and the best zelda experience I've had.

Honorable mentions to the other top tier zeldas: majoras mask, link between worlds, link to the past

I could also go with Twilight Princess as well.

Okami. Its the best "Zelda" game ever made even better than zelda games.

I may be the only person that does not like BOTW I think its extremely overated I consider OOT the best game ever made

A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds

Majora's Mask - Mainly the 64 and the GCN version despite THAT version being rough. Don't bother with MM3D...

Twilight Princess. I'm embarrassed to admit this, but it's the only Zelda game that I've completed. The Minish Cap was really good too. 🙂

Oracle of Seasons, It was the first one i got, i played before OoT but didn't get the full experience of a zelda game until Seasons, i played it several times, and got oracle of ages to continue the adventure, but ages was not that good, after that i played all of them with th exemption of the CDi ones, and while Oracle of Seasons is my favorite i consider a Link to the past the best one, and like many other i think Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are way overrated.

@kemar7856: You're not alone, I agree completely BotW and TotK are overrated. They're up there with my least favourite Zelda's. Just not my style.

As for my favourite, my heart says Wind Waker. But I also love Link's Awakening and Twilight Princess.

I don't know if its really the best, but Wind Waker is the one I have the most fond memories of.

Skyward Sword isn't my favorite Zelda, but it gets more hate than it deserves. Has a few of my favorite dungeons in the whole series.

A Link to the Past is a flawless game. Seriously, what could be seen as wrong or bad in that game? I can think of nothing right now. Gameplay, graphics, soundtrack, atmosphere, all great. I suppose the gameplay and story are on the simple side, but that's not a negative to me.

I love Wind Waker, definitely one of my favorite Zeldas. But that game had the fetch quests, and it was a bit too easy.

Twilight Princess, while good, it has the slowest most boring start of a Zelda ever. It takes like 3 hours to get going. It's also full of annoying to do sidequests. Tried replaying the game recently, because it's highlights are pretty awesome, but I just couldn't plough through all the slow and boring parts. Kinda wish I had a save starting at the sand temple or something.

Majora's Mask is cool, but too much back and forth. Tried playing it like three times and always feel like stopping after a while.

Majora's Mask, easily.

Twilight Princess and A Link a Between Worlds.

Remember really enjoying Zelda dx on Gameboy colour. Hated the Wii ones because motion controls.

Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess where always my favorites, just because they where far more darker than the others.

Da goat:

Only the N64 version is the superior version I replay from time to time. The 3DS version was shit!

Twilight Princess

@davillain: *cough. Outside of BotW / TotK / Ocarina.

3DS version shit? I thought it was awesome. Neat controls, other QOL stuff, new great looking graphics, 3D effect. Was a treat to replay OoT in that way, imo.

Celda. :P

Twilight Princess.

@Litchie: 😄

Majora's Mask is the best Zelda ever and here is why:

• Most Unique and Original in franchise
• Amazing atmosphere
• Easily the darkest Zelda ever
• Great World Building/Lore
• Termina is a great world
• Incredible Music
• Clock Town is best town ever
• Best Side Quests ever
• Best Characters and Dialogue
• Great Dungeons and Bosses
• Best Gameplay Variety
• Only Zelda where you play as Deku/Goron/Zora/Fierce Deity Link which is just awesome
• Collecting Masks and wearing them is fun
• 3 Day Time adds significant depth to the game and makes the characters and world feel alive
• Very non-linear and replayable
• Great Villain and The Moon slowly coming closer to Termina is awesome

@Fairmonkey: I feel like both Majora’s Mask and Tears of the Kingdom were overshadowed just because they were direct sequels

A Link to the Past was always the sweet spot for me .. it's sequel a Link Between Worlds was also incredible .

Majora's Mask, just about to start Breath of the Wild, don't have high expectations.

That’s some really good patience to wait 8 years to play a game lol

The excluded ones are not in my best Zelda games. Link Between Worlds and Wind Waker comes to mind. I have yet to play the legendary Majora's Mask.

@SolidGame_basic: That's nothing, I still have shrink wrapped games on the Dreamcast lol.
