The best Zelda game of all time is...?

[QUOTE="lbjkurono23"] Sorry, but 8.9 doesn't cut it :] lbjkurono23

Cool story bro.

not sure if srs, besides, my version of TP got an 8.8, and you know what? I'm taking that 8.8, I'm taking Wii GotY, I'm taking 95 average metascore, I'm taking 2006 GotY nominee on GS and I'm taking my two playthroughs with me. Now THAT'S a cool story. 8)

Twilight Princess.

Sure, nostalgia may tell you to pick an older game, but this is the real sequel to Ocarina of Time. And it's better. Deal with it.

NeonNinja

lacks:

instruments/songs

lovable characters

good towns (the city sucked, and it wasn't very open)

and the vibe that Zelda needs to have

Great game, but it felt somewhat empty. It does however have arguably the best dungeons and is obviously the longest compaign.

True, it doesn't have instruments or songs. But I didn't miss that feature. I was too busy howling into the night sky.

As far as lovable characters, Midna is more lovable, moreso than most Zelda casts as a whole.

In regards to good towns, I'll give that one to you.

I don't know what you mean by vibe. It was certainly darker than most Zelda games, so maybe you want more of that free-spirited adventure feel from Wind Waker? I love that feel too, but I felt that Twilight Princess nailed its mood very well.

Add in some of the best level design in a videogame, a 60 hour game that is just as fun the second time around you have what I would argue is the best Zelda game. I will say that Ocarina of Time is the most important and I enjoyed it very much, and that Wind Waker is my favorite based on the themes. But Twilight Princess is the best. It's a solid refinement of the series that improves almost every facet that should be improved upon.

But is your cart gold? THAT is the question.

Ocarina, but Majoras Mask in a close second.

That plus I had no issues with the motion controls. They worked fine for me.

I do have one major critcism against Twilight Princess, but that criticism will likely help prove my point of why it's the best.

[spoiler] [/spoiler]

Just saying. The game is damn awesome if I can look past those flat, sharp breasts and still enjoy it, right? If that doesn't make a solid case for why it's the best than I don't know what does.

[QUOTE="timmy00"]

[QUOTE="spookykid143"]Sure if you like tacked on motion controls and horrible wolf sections.

[QUOTE="VendettaRed07"]

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"] It is like trying to win against FFVII fanboys/fangirls in a "best FF" poll. Its impossible to counter massive nostalgia.DJ-Lafleur

All these games are super old. If the other games are so much better than why is it that people have so much nostalgia for OoT and FFVII but not as much for FFVIII, or MM and Alttp?.... I think the games quality plays into the nostalgia, it can't be just time of release alone because they all came out pretty much in the same time frame.. the games are more popular for a reason

Foxhound probably just doesn't like that people think OoT is better than LttP and is just using nolstalgia as an excuse to say people liking OoT the most are wrong.

I don't think he has even finished OOT, from reading another thread, so his opinion isn't exactly the best one of the bunch.

Personally, I like OOT the best followed by MM. LTTP, I played for the first time on the GBA, and while I liked it a lot, I don't prefer it over those two.

Zelda CD-I: Wand of Gamelon? :D

Ilikemyname420

Aw, ya beat me to it :P

All are amazing, but i consider OoT the best game ever made so i think i'll go with that one.

Agree, TP is an amazing game, very underrated IMO.

Aw, hell, Ocarina is winning. Ocarina is NOT supposed to be winning! It's a great game, but I like every other game I listed up there more than I like Ocarina! Argh! Well, at least it's still a really great and competent title that's beating out my personal favorite :cry:charizard1605

You had to know Ocarina would pull ahead. Even though you directly asked what is the best Zelda, most people will just vote for their favorite and not which one they actually think is the best game (though often times people cant make that distinction.)

As I said before, My fav is a tie between OoT and LttP, but I voted WW as I consider it the most well made game in the series.

OoT is immensely popular though, I'm surprised it isn't winning by an even greater margin.

• ALTTP
• Wind Waker
• Majoras Mask

One of them. Theyre all fantastic.

I often lean more towards MM though. Best sequel Ive ever played.

[QUOTE="Arach666"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] I actually hoped that The Wind Waker... Majora's Mask... A Link to the Past... heck, ANY of the other games I listed... would beat Ocarina. Don't get me wrong, I love Ocarina. A lot. But I still feel that it is the most overrated game in the series.charizard1605

Again, Ocarina is great and all, but...

*sigh*

Looks like I overestimated the objectivity on this forum :(

What's *your* favorite, anarchist?

My favourite? Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon.

Arach666

Exactly. I'm not usually the type to throw the term overrated around, but OoT and FFVII are two of the most grossly overrated games of all time. I loved both games, but the amount of praise they get is extremely disproportional to how great any game could possibly be.

They are on a level of popularity that cannot be contended with.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="Arach666"] It´s the most popular Zelda,´twas pretty obvious that was going to win the poll.

Seriously though,probably AlttP,it´s the only one I´ve finished anyway,I´m not fond of the 3D ones at all,though I find the artstyle of WW nice,especially with that nice AA and at 1080p. :P

I had a hard time between choosing Twilight Princess, Majoras Mask, and Ocarina of Time so it came down to the moment I first played OOT.

There will never be a moment like that in gaming for me ever again. It was like going from watching black in white t.v to Avatar in 3d, like eating dirt in bugs, to eating steak and caviar. It marked the turning point from playing games to kill time to actively looking for games, saving money for games, and avidly playing games. People say its overrated but thats to be expected for the greatest game of all time, it was ahead of its time and action adventure games still cant compete, they can merely try and copy.

Can't say which is the best, but by far my favorite is AlttP. Maybe Nostalgia has something to do with it, but it's still as enjoyable today as I remember it back then, so not much.

Majoras Mask fer sure

Best Zelda Game = one that came out before the current one. SilverChimera

So... Phantom Hourglass is your fav.

Wouldn't it have just been easier to say that?

Twilight Princess' combat, environments, artstyle, puzzles and music stood out for me. So yeah, I'm going with every one's favourite hate target and saying Twilight Princess won it over for me.

OOT>WW=TP=MM>LTTP>Link's awakening

Only ones I have played.

[QUOTE="SilverChimera"]Best Zelda Game = one that came out before the current one. moistsandwich

1. A Link to the PAst
2. Wind Waker
3. OoT
4. Majora's Mask
5. Twilight Princess

For it's time, OOT is the best one. The best one without time on it's back is WW, then MM, then OOT, then LTTP.
