Ogre Jungle takes a look back at the Legend of Zelda series and gives its opinion on the Top 10 greatest games in the renowned series. Join us as we rip this bombchu apart!
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
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 list is almost always different From Zelda Fan to Zelda Fan.
Majora's Mask is my personal favorite as well.
The tone and atmosphere of the game is unlike any other in the series.
Here is the list of Zelda games I have played: Zelda 1 and 2, LttP, Link’s Awakening DX, Minish Cap, OoT, MM, WW, TP, and SS. Out of all of them, my favorite was Ocarina of Time. My least favorite was Majora’s Mask. I beat Majora’s mask, but just didn’t enjoy it for some reason. I didn’t find it fun. But, I enjoy Zelda games quite a bit. I can’t wait to play the sequel to A Link to the Past on my 3DS, and I am ready for E3 so that I can see a new Zelda game on the Wii U.
Majora's Mask?!
Really?!
MM was a quick cash grab on the dying N64 system. I could have dealt with OoT, or WW getting #1, but MM?
Personally I love the original best, but then again, I've been gaming since the Atari/Amiga/Colecovision days.
That list is identical in the top five. Each of us has our own personal emotional ties to each Zelda game. We all reacted differently. Very nostalgic read!
