For the record: no, this is not going to be a soapbox about how the New Hyrule in Spirit Tracks proves that ultimately the classic games will fall on the Adult Timeline after all. Neither will it be an exposé on how we now know for sure that the Deku Tree definitely connected all of the islands we saw from The Wind Waker to form said Hyrule. (Although do expect a follow-up to my original article about New Hyrule which suggested exactly that.)
In fact, this is not going to be a continuity theory at all. Instead, it is a reflection on how the expression of the series' continuity has evolved, from past to present, and taken on a completely new life in Spirit Tracks.
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.
good article.
i don't think there will ever be a definitive timeline, just speculation. It's fun to read peoples theories though, i love the avgn video on the zelda timeline.
it's opinions but the read was enjoyable.
i also do think that ST tried many things ..now will the fans loves this changes ? i'm not so sure.
SURE having people will help to set the zelda games "in order "
BUt ST is just part of the Wind waker arc ..remember the connexion between WW and PH ..it's the same thing
