DC:
What is Nintendo's principal intellectual property? I'll forgive you if you say Mario, but it's actually Zelda. The Legend of Zelda is Nintendo's premiere franchise. It is by far the Nintendo series with the most releases. (Actually, it may have more releases than any videogame franchise, but I'm not quite enough of a gaming buff to know if that's true.) Nintendo has a lot of prominent franchises: Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Metroid, Yoshi. But Zelda is the only franchise whose games Nintendo consistently re-releases as more than just ports. Even Pokémon doesn't get re-released on the same scale as Zelda.
There is something classic about the respective adventures of Mario, Kirby, and Samus; but Nintendo clearly thinks about the adventures of Link on a different level. New Zelda games are more often than not accompanied with limited edition bundles and with entire limited edition consoles (also this one and this one). And in this instance, Majora's Mask 3D is a launch title for the poorly-named New 3DS.
The best Legend of Zelda games experiment and tackle new grounds for the industry. These are the essential titles in the series you need to play.
I am a huge Zelda fan and love them all, but for me Ocarina Of Time is the greatest and my second all time favourite game after Final Fantasy VII.
Oh gee can't imagine what Number 1 is
....
A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker etc is better than Breath of the Wild.
Majora's Mask still holds as my favorite to this day, despite being the black sheep of the series.
I love them all, but Wind Walker, Link to the Past and Minish Cap are my favorites
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is an intimate story about life after loss.
Half-Glass Gaming: "Production of the 3DS has been discontinued as of September of 2020, but there’s definitely an argument to be made for adopting the system in 2021, especially if you just really like playing awesome video games."
