Poll: What's your favourite Zelda game?

[Hazy]

Oh, Ocarina of Time is winning, what a surprise.

I'll say.

Last time one of these was done, A Link to the Past emerged victorious.
[sub]No, your sarcasm was not lost on me [/sub]

 

[plastic_window]

I have never played a Zelda game, i think they are fail games

Why isn't there a poll option for this?

Because the title of this is "Favourite Zelda Game". If you don't like or haven't played Zelda, you probably don't have a favourite.

To repeat what I've said in a similar thread, my favourite of the series is Wind Waker, followed closely by Link's Awakening.

I can't be bothered backing up why those are my favourites at the moment. These sour cream pretzels won't eat themselves.

majoras mask FTW

Indeed

I hold that hand in hand with OoT.

Darker sequels FTW!

 

[AvsJoe]

I haven't beaten a Zelda game other than A Link to the Past so that one would be my favourite I guess although I am itching to play Ocarina and Majora if I ever do dust off my N64 for something other than Banjo-Kazooie.

 

[Burnout54]

What about phantom hourglass and minish cap? I loved both of them!

 

[sam344443]

Ive only completed Twilight Princess and Phantom Hourglass. I've gotten up to the grass temple thing on OOT and i didn't get very far when i played Majoras Mask, but that looked to me as it could be very cool. I was playing it on an emulator but i can't play it anymore. ): It seemed very strange, which i enjoy.

I will have to say TP though.

 

[Urgh76]

Majora's mask.................. 'nuff said

 

[Ziltoid]

As much as I love Majoras Mask and Windwaker, OoT is the greatest game ever made.

 

[Kimarous]

It's a toss-up between Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, but I think I favour Majora's Mask more.

Reported. Please take your trolling elsewhere.

Ooooh aren't you brave. I gave an opinion and I even elaborated it lower down on the page, don't let your crushing love for Zelda make you think you have to defend it at all times. I'm not a bloody troll, grow up

Since you can't tell that you are, perhaps someone needs to educate you on what a troll is.

A troll is an idiot who tries to create conflict and flame wars by insulting or ranting about something online. They are generally stupid and use lame insults.

So in other words, YOU ARE A TROLL.

Firstly, you're the one starting arguments by calling people "trolls"

Secondly I never tried to create a conflict, I stated my obviously biased and invalid opinion as a clear joke which was supposed to be taken in jest

Lastly, I even said in that post "I have never played a Zelda game", so I don't know why you took it seriously.

Ocarina of time. It was a great game.
I bought a pack of zelda mints yesterday, made me want to play the game again. Unfortunately i no longer posses the capabilities to do so

 

[FinalHeart95]

The only ones I've played are Twilight Princess and the original. I preferred Twilight Princess, but we're comparing two games from totally different eras, so it's a hard comparison.

 

[malestrithe]

Twilight Princess.

I do not care of people think OoT is better. They are wrong. This game had a better story, better development and better puzzles. Midna is far better than Navi for no other reason that Midna did not fucking talk.

Twilight Princess.

No kidding. I wasn't a big fan of Minish Cap, but Phantom Hourglass might be my favourite top-down Zelda game ever.

I love both games, but for it's time, Twilight Princess was only a "pretty good" game, whereas Ocarina of Time was ground-breaking, breath-taking, and many other compound words. Basically, you have a game that revolutionized adventure games, had spectacular graphics, won multiple game of the year awards, and posed a fair challenge (my 12-year-old mind got stuck quite a few times trying to figure out the next step).

What's the point of comparing games if you don't compare them in context? The sad thing is, even comparing them out of context and ignoring the graphics, I still enjoy playing Ocarina of Time more than Twilight Princess. The general story is far more compelling (it's the sword-in-a-stone, where Arthur is a young orphan who helps an evil man take over the world), the game is more original (introduces, I think, Zoras, Gorons, Dekus), has better gameplay in some respects (switching between the past and present, the overall challenge and incredible dungeon design...

But perhaps what makes me most sad about Twilight Princess is the loss of certain Zelda staples. No magic bar? No unique magical spells? No impressive power-ups? No magical instrument to fool around with? Twilight Princess is more cinematic and has great combat that is as intuitive as you'd expect from a Zelda game, but that's close to the only thing it does right.

Oh, and no diving?! I still have no idea why the Zora Tunic doesn't make you swim like a Zora in Majora's Mask. So many little touches could have made Twilight Princess a true epic - instead, it's just a mildly original Zelda game that goes back to the basics. Pretty much the only thing that reminded me it was a Zelda game was when you randomly had to race a Yeti on a piece of ice (and that wasn't as fleshed out as it could be). Zelda is best when it switches between being dark and goofy.

More and more I wonder whether Nintendo (or maybe Miyamoto himself) has lost it's touch.

OOT. It was just a masterpiece, better then alot of current gen games.

In other words, Nintendo decided to make a different game that had a more mass appeal and not cater solely to fanboys of the series and it sucked for not other reason than that? So what that Twilight Princess had no magic in it. This Zelda game is more orientated to battles and is not really concerned with magic.

I have played all Zelda titles no matter how obscure they were and I can tell you that while I do have my favorites, (Wind Waker, A Link to the Past, and the original Legend of Zelda), I like them all.

So much nostalgia voting...
Probably Wind Waker. I would say TP, but it was a bit bland and Wind Waker had an excellent amount of exploration and character.
