MyDs writes: "The Zelda universe is a confusing and confused world. Each game begins with a new Link that somehow gets caught up in a diabolical mess involving a rather unlucky princess named Zelda. WindWaker made it worse by being set 100 years after its predecessor, and then Phantom Hourglass gave off the vibe that it's meant to be kept separate to the events of the console's Twilight Prince and its upcoming sequel. Once you've gotten past, or rather ignored all that, we can move on to The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. It's rare that two Zelda games are released on one platform within two years, so we were over the moon when the game was announced at E3 this year; then were shocked by the revelation that it would arrive in Australia this year, in the very year that it was announced! Now, forwards as we check out The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks."
Tears of the Kingdom may be about to become everyone's new favorite, but there's one DS game that deserves more shine.
KeenGamer: "Nothing says gaming royalty like the iconic duo of Link and Zelda. Let's discuss which version of the duo is best, spanning the entire franchise. There are some versions of the characters that are more memorable and recognisable than others."
For me...
Wind Waker
Twilight Princess
Skyward Sword
BotW
These are the best Link's in that order IMO based on their backstory and general percieved personality in my eyes. Since he is silent in the eyes of the player, gotta rely on hidden backstory, motivations, and interactions with other characters to define the personality part.
Definitely Wind Waker, up until Tetra turned into Zelda which magically stripped her of her spunkyness. But once she's back to being Tetra she's definitely the most badass of the incarnations. This wasn't Link and because of that we got a character that earned the triforce and rised up to be a hero.
OoT. Link's most masculine physique plus just look at how hard that version of Zelda pwns in Super Smash Bros Melee.
The future could be filled with revived Nintendo DS classics. Hopefully it happens!
My kid yesterday proclaimed he liked the DS more than the Switch because the controls work on the go. Then I asked if he would rather have Monster Hunter Stories 2 on Steam or Switch and he chose Steam. So proud!
