Is zelda's story supposed to be good?

[QUOTE="DaViD_99"]A little off topic, but did you play Majoras yet? foxhound_fox

The story has become common knowledge to most gamers, even those who haven't played them.

I'm no sure if they "intend" for it to be good, but merely fill the gap where a good story should be. The Zelda world is rife with material that cries out for a complex and deep story... but it shamefully is hardly ever given one (except for possibly Majora's Mask).

if you are into timeline and all that.. zeldas story is really complicated as it is a story told through many games.. if you just look at each individual game it is pretty standard stuff

You're honestly asking this question?

I'd rather have fewer but more challenging and difficult dungeons (Maybe not WW but MM for sure) than a lot of underwhelming and easy as pie dungeons. Stone Temple in MM was PURE hell, almost as bad as Water Temple in OoT.Arbiterisl33t69

you can say that again. I hated the Stone Temple. I had to bust out my Guide book it was horrible.

but other than that most of the dungeons in Majora's Mask were easy!! (the Goron Ice Temple place as hard too but the Stone Temple was the hardest.)

Besides, Twilight Princess had the best Dungeons.

You may find one story or another to be somewhat weak but to be honest there's no questionning the fact that Zelda has got to have the most interesting universe in all of video games history (or at least one of the best). Every stories connect to each others to form a timeline which gets so many people to debate about. I haven't seen many game series having that effect on gamers.

I thought WindWaker had a pretty decent story by Zelda standards, especially when you visit places underwater. Haven't played Majora's Mask yet, but its next on my list

Zelda games were never really about the plot.

Zelda games are often chock full of moments of subtle poetry, and sublime beauty that no other series in gaming has ever managed to top, or even to come close to topping. Even some of the least introspective and spiritual Zelda games (OoT, for instance) are very satisfying on a artistic level, and when you take the cream of the crop (Majora's Mask, easily) and compare it with, well, any video game ever made, you'll start to see what I'm talking about.

Case in point:

Agreed.

And I'd also like to add OoT's ending, where Link places the Master Sword back into it's pedestal and walks away as the bells chime. I felt it was an awesome and powerful way of saying that "your long journey is now over."

The story in Zelda games normally aren't all that great, although not bad by any means and their gold compared to the stories of other Nintendo games. But yeah in short all Nintendo games aren't big on story and Zelda is no exception, its the game we love, not the average story.

It has better characters.
