Finally, YOU will help decide which game is the best Zelda of All Time at The Nintendo Enthusiast. After three previous rounds, the competition has been whittled down to the remaining three: Ocarina of Time, Skyward Sword, and.... Wind Waker?
Don’t ask me how it happened but somehow Wind Waker has snuck into the final round! I’m not kidding. We received 262 votes and Skyward Sword and Wind Waker are tied in a dead heat. I honestly didn’t see Wind Waker pulling off a win against Twilight Princess and then a tie with Skyward Sword. Is it really so beloved?
BLG writes, "There are many fantastic and iconic weapons in game history, but some are significantly more memorable than others. When we think of iconic game weapons, these are the top 20 that come to mind."
You forgot one and it's a doozy. The weapon is kindness in undertale. :) defeats countless enemies.
Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."
The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..
I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.
I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.
but still considered the best of the seties.
i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.
25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.
Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time debuted 25 years ago, forever changing the face of video games and becoming a legend of its own.
I used a guide to beat part of it but some of the rest myself, still enjoyed it regardless. Too bad they didn't stick with this kind of gameplay for the rest of the series as I would prefer it over what they're doing now.
A definitive moment in video game history. Played it countless times, and Zelda was the best reason to own an N64.
I played through OoT so many times on the 64, then I bought it on the 3DS before the Eshop shut down. I wish we could have a Zelda collection like we did for Mario, I still can't believe that never happened.
Does it really matter to anyone what others think the best Zelda game is?
Out of the two, The Windwaker.
Of all time? Tied between Windwaker/Majoras Mask and A Link to the Past.
Zelda 2 and Zelda Ocarina Of Time.
I happened to have liked Twilight Princess better than Wind Waker although Wind Waker had an awesome style that felt like I was playing a cartoon. I haven't finished Skyward Sword to say whether I like it better than Ocarina of Time or not but I'll finish soon and then I'll vote.
I liked Majora's Mask and I'm a big fan of its creepiness and darkness, but overall I though Ocarina of Time was a better game.
The original zelda is still the best to me. I remember seeing that gold cart when i was a kid. It made me feel like i was about to play something special (and it was). No other zelda game has given me that feeling.
