With a series like The Legend of Zelda, you are bound to get a variety of opinions regarding which games are the best. For most, the usual suspects will find a place somewhere around the top, but some titles get lost in the mix. For that reason, Mini Fortress wanted to rank the series from the worst (Number 16) to the best (Number 1), and partly because gamers won’t get their hands on another Zelda game for quite some time.
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.
Screen Rant, "The return of one controversial character could have an incredible effect on The Legend of Zelda, prompting the introduction of new features."
Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her
Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.
Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."
Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before
As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.
BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..
Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.
Great list. I would personally place Skyward Sword at number 2. A Link to The Past would be 3. I'm one of the few who loved the art that Skyward Sword had. The paintbrush style is really fitting for the franchise, and the story was fantastic(even better the OoT story) but other things like not being completely open held it from number 1.
I would love to see the upgrade system return in the next game as well.
i dont agree with the order but its hard to argue as they were all fantastic games.. Zelda 2 shouldnt be that low on the list.. If u give it a shot n keep at it, its a REALLY good game.. Challenging too
A good read! I too thought A Link to the Past was the best Zelda...but I pretty much like every one of the games in the series. I love the variety and life that the games bring...and its always exciting to see a new release.
I agree with this order, game is great
Great read!
