The Legend of Zelda remains one of the most important video game series in history. Without question, the story of the green-clad elf boy named Link saving the princess has been, well, legendary. Despite being in the title of the series, however, Zelda has stayed in the background, sticking to a damsel role. As we’ve seen in various spinoffs, though, Zelda has skills. She can fight, she can plan, so why not give another princess a chance to star in her own game? There are so many Zeldas to choose from in the series’ library, but if there’s one Zelda that has the skills and world to really benefit from her own game, it’s Ocarina of Time’s.
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 Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time debuted 25 years ago, forever changing the face of video games and becoming a legend of its own.
I used a guide to beat part of it but some of the rest myself, still enjoyed it regardless. Too bad they didn't stick with this kind of gameplay for the rest of the series as I would prefer it over what they're doing now.
A definitive moment in video game history. Played it countless times, and Zelda was the best reason to own an N64.
I played through OoT so many times on the 64, then I bought it on the 3DS before the Eshop shut down. I wish we could have a Zelda collection like we did for Mario, I still can't believe that never happened.
I'd play a Zelda game if she was the lead she had her own game once. But it tanked so badly on the CD-I and the game mechanics were so broken. Plus the CD-I was basically a useless piece of plastic. I picked one up last year at a garage sale and it had the Zelda game.
If Peach can have her on game I guess Zelda could to. Done right of course.
I'd go for one where we can play as Tetra, personally.
Sheik is all well and good, but Ninjas are a little more overdone than kickass female pirates are, in games, these days.
Or just go with Zelda's rapier a la Hyrule Warriors.
Either or, but give Sheik a rest and let some other forms of Zelda have their chance.
As long as it's Zelda and not some femimazi'd gender swap of Link, I'd give it a chance.
Legend of Hilda is more suited for that.
