The Five Worst Zelda Games

ZI writes: Talking about what game is your personal favorite in the series is a rather popular talking point. We all have various opinions and enjoy several different facets of the Zelda kingdom that at any given point we could prefer one game over another. What we don't talk about are the games that are arguably at the bottom end of the spectrum. In the end, none of the Zelda games are bad. I don't even know if Nintendo knows how to make a bad Zelda game, but in my humble opinion I believe I have compiled a list of five games that are probably at the bottom of my list of Zelda titles. Games I will probably not be replaying anytime soon.

all the phillips ones, it was such a bad move by nintendo sell the rights to Zelda and other classics at the time.

FriedGoat4387d ago

I wonder what's for dinner?

FriedGoat4387d ago (Edited 4387d ago )

But on a serious note, Ocarina is in either the number 1/2 spot (being the best) with majoras mask for me.
Skyword Sword is definitely the worst console zelda, the only one I and several other friends who have played all of the zeldas couldn't bring ourselves to finish due to its repetition of areas, lack of exploring and just plain linear boringness.
Best handheld version is Links Awakening, mainly for nostalgia purposes.

TheFirstClassic4387d ago

@FriedGoat Skyward Sword is definitely the worst. Very disapointing game, still a good game, but no where near the usual Zelda quality. Despite those cel shaded graphics I felt like the whole world and all the characters lacked soul. I feel like I'm in the minority of this but my favorite 3d zelda is Twilight Princess. Loved how big it was and the dark moody atmosphere. Ocarina of Time is probably right next to it tho, haven't played MM but I plan to by the end of summer.

Also I loved playing through the original, thought it was a masterpiece. The dungeon layout was somewhat repetitive but the gameplay was excellent and the whole exploration aspects were awesome.

Nintendo didn't sell the rights. They gave Phillips permission to create 2 Mario and 2 Zelda games for developing the CD-ROM attachment to the SNES for very little funding from Nintendo...

Oh_Yeah4387d ago (Edited 4387d ago )

The zeldas I didnt really like were wind waker, and all the top down view ones, probably due to me starting with ocarina of time. Going back to the snes/nes/gameboy ones and expecting wind waker to be like ocarina of time was just setting myself up for a disappointment.

yeahokchief4387d ago (Edited 4387d ago )

who has time to write up stupid garbage like this?

bad zelda games? really? i dont think so. NO CLICK FOR U. COME BACK 1 YEAR.

TheFirstClassic4387d ago

Well the author himself says there are no bad zelda games. Assuming the cdi games don't count I suppose.

eferreira4387d ago

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

djl34859d ago

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_9210d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil9d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

Link Should Talk, but Choose His Words Carefully in The Legend of Zelda Movie

Link should have a voice in The Legend of Zelda Movie. While he mostly stays quiet in the games, he canonically does speak but usually holds back on expressing his thoughts. In a movie format, it is better for the character and the story itself that Link speaks.

I just hope it's not a bunch MCU Snarky McJokeface dialog. Started playing veilguard free on PSN (would not recommend) and it's a perfect example of how dialog in contemporary entertainment is garbage.

Babadook775d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Yeah. That’s the first I’ve seen it anywhere near #1.

Mario 64 is great but I wouldn’t put it over Mario World.

CUnit12312375d ago

Appreciate you checking out the article

CUnit12312375d ago

Thanks for checking out the article

slate9175d ago

Top 10 were bangers till they threw the #1 spot away lol

CUnit12312375d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Thanks for checking out the article

Zeldafan6474d ago

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list is a crime.

CUnit12312374d ago

Sorry lol. I wrote the article but 5 of us voted for many different games and majority went on the list then we worked on the list. If it were just my personal top favorite we'd seen some xenoblade and star ocean as well as some others. Thanks for checking out it!

RavenWolfx73d ago

Chrono Trigger at 31 makes my heart hurt.

Zeldafan6473d ago

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list at all is a crime.
