ZI: Whenever someone says the words "Zelda" and "mask" in the same sentence, it's needless to say that the first thing that pops into most people's minds is Majora's Mask. While it's true the game's central theme heavily revolves around the usage of masks, it's definitely not the only one in the series to have them. In fact, the first game to feature masks was none other than Ocarina of Time. Later entries in the series, such as Oracle of Ages, The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, also make use of them, though nowhere near as much as the N64 classics.
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.
You sir, have good taste in games :)
I also love all of the Zelda games but I adore Windwaker (Specifically the HD version on WiiU) most of all. It is a close run thing with Breath of the Wild though.
Special mention to Cadence of Hyrule too, what an awesome spin off title that was!
Cheers Spuds, yep i love Windwaker too, beautiful artstyle, and i loved sailing and finding all the secrets out there.
Agreed. For me top 3 of all time is.
1. ocarina of time
2. Final fantasy Vll
3. MGS1
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.
I think it really depends on what you're looking for. If you want a traditional Zelda game then OoT or WW would be better to you. But if you want a Zelda game that really leans into adventure and exploration, and if you want intelligent systems/logic, BotW would be the better game.
I enjoy both. I understand why some people aren't fond of it but for me it was a breath of fresh air that I really needed. I'd become so burnt out on unimaginative games and BotW sort of made me appreciate games again, as weird as that may sound.
Right...so let's pretend ocarina of time didnt have exploration, secret dungeons and other secrets. Complex boss mechanics and exploration rewards. At least a traditional Zelda has dungeons.
What point are you attempting to make? At no point did I say that OoT didn't have any of that. However, the level of exploration and sense of adventure are vastly different between OoT and BotW.
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."
Personally, I feel the ability to take on the personas of the different races would be very awesome to have as opposed to bringing the masks back altogether. Majora's Mask is special because of the masks. However, certain elements (such as being a Deku, Goron, or Zora) were introduced by this and would make future games awesome, as we now have a taste of what being each of these races would be like now.
Instead of masks, I think it would be pretty neat to have the choice to be of one of these races at the beginning. Having this as an option would change the story a bit at have the Link of that game definitely different that the other Links in other stories. As a fan of character creation, I just find this as a great opportunity to include customized Links while keeping to the spirit of The Legend of Zelda.
Now, If that wouldn't be possible, It would be nice to have at least those three masks make a return. That was definitely my favorite thing about Majora's Mask.
