[QUOTE="rogelio22"][QUOTE="bobcheeseball"]

I'm confused what made you think you were in the 90's??

bobcheeseball

zelda tp felt like i was playing oot for some reason nothing new about tp

Odd. I forgot you could turn into a wolf in Ocarina of Time. I must have missed that in my eight playthroughs. I also must have not found the spinner, ball and chain, hawkeye, bomb arrows, and the double clawshot.

And I didnt find any of the hidden skills.

I could do this all day...

the wolf parts are really dull and annoying but like i said i havent beaten it yet so i cant pass full judgement. just feels kinda dull after playing infamous though?? ill try and beat it by next weekend since i got the weekend off who knows i might post my first review on here

Well I do understand where you are coming from. The beginning like around the first three temples are pretty dull. After that it gets really really fun.

BTW the things name is Fyrus and it has to be the most disappointing boss ever lol

I don't think any game series will ever beat Zelda to me. Each game is an amazing new adventure that you can play over and over. Metroid is the closest series to Zelda for me, as it provides awesome experiences in a similar way to Zelda.

Who are the contenders?

Final Fantasy

Half Life
Mario
Metal Gear Solid
Unreal

Star Wars
Halo
Grand Theft Auto
.. and many more...

Nintendo fans will choose mario or zelda.
Sony fans will choose mgs or ff
Microsoft fans will choose Halo or the next best thing.

Thats all there is... Unless you own all consoles and play a lot of games, then your like me.

And id say, the one that you PLAY ON THE MOST and THINK OF, is your best series of all time.

No.

Loved the first Zelda, liked OOT but meh, the rest was rubbish.

Give me Fallout 1&2 over them anyday. Fallout 3 doesn't count and can burn in the fiery pits of hell.

Why can't people stop this hate towards Fallout 3? It's a Great Game in general (It's even a bigger sucess than the first two). Live with it.

There are countless games that have a higher production quality than Zelda.

Well, Nintendo IP wise I think Star Fox, Pokemonand F-Zero are better series and I like 2D Mario games more than 3D ones. From other developers, I think Star Wars and the Lego movie based games are better.

Nintendogs is a greater sucess than the majority of console games. It isn't an indication of quality.

Fallout 3 is hateful because it is a worse RPG than the originals. They just turned it into a tactical shooter with no consequences and a single, rubbish ending. Glad you enjoyed it but it still sucks compared.

I would have to say all of Mario's games. Really, no series probably has as much appeal to such a wide audience as Mario does. :)

:lol: you really think those are better than the zelda series? I know you hate TP but c'mon. The series includes link to the past, ocarina of time, majora's mask, wind waker, the portable games, etc.

And the starfox series isn't even allthat good. The only good ones were the the first one on the SNES and the SF64. After that it was downhill.

I think Nintendo can claim three spots of One of the Bests spots. Being those Mario and Metroid, as well as Zelda what you said. I think there is no "The" tho.

Which Metroid games are good? The only ones i can think of are the Prime series which i havent played.

I don't hate TP, it was a good game. The only thing is that it wasn't great like it was supposed to be. I loved Phantom Hourglass, but to me that didn't treat the scar of dissapointment TP gave me.

Great:

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii)

Good:

[QUOTE="sonicthemegaman"][QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"]far from it. :|

of course in the eyes of band-wagoners every latest zelda is "the worst zelda by far", regardless of the actual quality of the game

Shinobishyguy

I never understood that. I liked TP more than WW.

for once I agree. It's funny how people forgot the long ass sailing segments and the tirforce fetchquest. Not even the wolf sections were as bad as that bullcrap.

So true. I almost quit at the triforce fetchquest. The final boss was also a letdown. Ganon is much more epic in TP than WW.

Nope. I love Zelda. I think it's one of the all-time greatest. But I think the games feel too similar to one another. It's why I love Wind Waker the most, it's so unique when compared to the other Zelda games. Still though, I can't see it as the greatest since I think Mario is a better series than Zelda, but then again, Mario is also not my favorite series, so go figure. Though I'd say Mario has a better shot than Zelda at earning that title.

The Legend of Zelda, ALTTP, and oot - those three games helped define gaming. The other games are really good too, TP is actually my favorite.

I almost agree with your list other than Corruption being "Great." That game is a ridiculous slander to all things Metroid might just be the worst Metroid game ever made. I myself wouldn't count Pinball or Hunters in the canon though.

No.. Its too general of a catagory and based upon a opinion.. It certainly can be considered one of the best.. But THE best, idk.. There are just too many great series out there some with multiple games some with 2 or 3 games that I just can't count out..

10 years ago, I would have said yes it was (wow, just realized that Majora's Mask is a 10 year old game this month, ahh memories) but now, it (for me) just isn't.

I never said I hated it from the start. I've always said it's the lowest in my opinion and has so much wrong with the game of why I didn't like it as much as I hoped.

200th post. This means that Zelda is definitely worthy to have such a big thread.
