well i would have to say i really like Link, he is quiet but he has something special about him that parts him from other heros, maybe its the green suit.next i would have to say i love the dungeons/temples, They can be challenging at times and sometimes they are really clever.IT also takes place in a nice enjoyable fantasy world that is usually bright and colorful. I find most zelda games to be very immersive. That is why i like zelda games.Nerveux said:
Playing Twilight Princess on my Gamecube without any guides whatsoever was the best time of my life in any Zelda ever. Better than Ocarina actually
Hooray for Finding food for Yetis, singing as a Wolf, Doing ice puzzles, reuniting lost loves, killing dead dragons, becoming a human beyblade, having a hot imp on your back, destroying shadows to bring light and finally distracting Ganon with a fishing pole.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Ok, I'll admit the first one I've never played, assuming you're talking about the one with the dinosaurs and stuff, not the vehicle based 3rd person shooter
Paper mario was a turn based rpg with a few timing challenges almost along the vein of final fantasy
Banjo Kazooie was a like a super mario 64 type thing
Zelda was around me since its time on the NES, but I never really paid attention till Ocarina of Time saw the light of day and I played it when I was 8 years old. It's gameplay, graphics (for its time), story and characters made me explore this mysterious world of gaming which was just a once in awhile thing for me at that age. Here I am, 10 years later and the Zelda series is still my all time favorites from Nintendo, I loved Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Majora's Mask, OoT, Four Swords Adventures, I still play these games after all these years, when my day was crap, I turn to my nostalgia to cheer me up. All the fun memories of my childhood come back to me in a single press of the A button on my good old N64 controller.
Basically, if you didn't grow up with Zelda or find the gameplay fun, you just aren't the type to enjoy it, plain and simple.

Ah, it's so fun going around the land of Hyrule and slashing monsters as Link screams, "hyah".
The dungenons are fun to explore.
And the Phantom Hourglass was a bad game because of the damn temple. Going in it and out of it repeadetly... ugh.

What Nintendo lacks in storytelling they make up for in Game play.Zekksta said:
Besides, most of these games are continuations of NES/SNES games... and back then, story wasn't a big deal.
If you played Zelda and didn't find it fun, well Zelda's not for you. What you might find tedious isn't found tedious by other people. (though I really kind of disliked the DS titles, to the point that I reluctantly acknowledged them as part of the series).
Now, from the list you told me, it sounds like you've only barely scratched the surface of the good zelda games.
These are the core "classics" from the game series.
Ocarina of Time (N64) (1998)
Link to the Past (SNES) (1992)
Original Legend of Zelda (NES) (1986)

ersonally the Zelda games are some of my favourite. I've collected a version of almost all of them, except for the 2 gamecube ones and the handhelds.
Zelda is like star wars (original series)
the parts that make it are flawed and simple
but the whole product is much greater than the sum of its parts.
For a main character that cant speak, you just get so emotionally invested in it.
he's always the underdog, hes always being pushed and pulled by forces he can't quite understand.
It's the emotional ties to Link (who's personality is purposely blank, and even his name refers to the 'link' between the character and the player) and his struggle are what makes Zelda...a legend (haha cheesy as hell, but i couldn't resist)
But again, at the end of the day, if your not feeling that connection, then its just not going to happen, if you want me to explain why others feel so strongly about it, well thats it.
