Zelda - The Game that Reinvented Gaming

I didn't see a Zelda thread, so I'd make my own. This is the thread for everything Zelda, especially the new game coming out.


Sorry, but this isn't really the forum for it.

 

I have the very old Legend of Link for the old gameboy. Great game, and I've been meaning to pick it up and play it sometime. I think that it was probably my first real fantasy experience.

 

Will this thread have lengthy discussions on the Zelda games for the Phillips CD-I?

 

Zelda is purty cool. I like Zelda II the best. Subscribed to Nintendo Power to get the Zelda collector's edition disc. I beat Zelda II twice so far on the gamecube, don't know how many times I beat it on original Nintendo.

I have Windwaker but I've yet to play it.

 

Wind Waker was a good game, beating it was excellent. The Phillips games are never to be mentioned in this thread. Never.

What about the new Zelda coming?

 

I have loved every Zelda game. My rankings:

Ocarina of Time
A Link to the Past
Windwaker
The Adventure of Link
Link's Awakening
Majora's Mask
Four Swords Adventure
The Legend of Zelda



The new one is scheduled for release on March 16th.

 

This is the thread for everything Zelda


And then you ban the CD-I games from being mentioned?


To the post before me:

That's like saying that all AU Gundams aside from Turn-A aren't really Gundam because Tomino had no part in making them. Phillips acquired the license to make those games from Nintendo and are thus actual Zelda games.

 

The Philips CD-i Zelda's are not true Zeldas, since Shigeru Miyamoto had nothing to do with them. I agree, they are not worthy of mention.

My rankings (of the ones I've played):

1. A Link to the Past- Perfect balance of action, awesome and numerous dungeons, tough bosses, great puzzle solving, going back and forth between light and dark worlds! Can't gush enough!!

2. Ocarina of Time- Beautiful Zelda in 3-D. Incredible dungeons. The Forest and Spirit Temples are the best. The Water Temple hurt my brain, but somehow I figured it out. For all your cool fighting abilities, there was not enough enemies for me.

3. The original- for obvious reasons. "Go North, West, South, West through the Forest of Maze" and "Digdogger hates loud noise"

4. The Adventure of Link- Fun, action oriented and sidescrolling. Link's shadow as final boss was memorable.

5.Link's Awakening- Almost beat this one. But I had to give back the Game Boy I was borrowing.

Currently working on Wind Waker. Only problem I have so far is all the sailing, too much scavenger hunting and not enough dungeons. I love the animation, though.

Haven't played:

Majora's Mask, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, Four Swords.
