Why ‘The Legend of Zelda’ is the greatest video game series of all time

Marek Makowski writes:
I know, I know. That headline up there must make you think I’m a maniac. How can somebody take such a successful commercial enterprise as the video game industry, where nearly-perfect games are released constantly, and name the best of the best?

Well, I will.

Yes, you have the “Mario,” “Metroid Prime,” “Final Fantasy,” “Resident Evil,” and even “Call of Duty” series. But, “The Legend of Zelda” series is leaps and bounds ahead of the others.

I don't like using the phrase "greatest/best of all time," but I will say that I really do like the Legend of Zelda series and it is one of my personal favorite video game series.

Jirachi4886d ago

I feel the same. If there's one thing i can't stand is there's the fanbase they complain about really stupid things sometimes if you don't like a game fine but the reaon you don't like it shouldn't be something stupid(like people disliking tp because of the fact every time you play the game it tells you how much money ruppes are worth)

AWBrawler4886d ago (Edited 4886d ago )

best is very subjective, so i just say favorite

Tewi-Inaba4886d ago

It's not quite just the series itself but it's gameplay formula

a world makes a game but mechanics, smooth gameplay , amazing polish and enjoyable formula defines it

rezzah4886d ago

An opinion is an opinion, not a fact.

Example...

"CoD is the greatest video game series of all time"

Reasons:

1,2,3, etc.

therefore i reject your ideas/opinions as i hold mine to be greater than yours.

Basically saying anything is greater than the other is universally wrong. So rather than making an article out of it, you (author) can simple put: "because it is my opinion".

stragomccloud4886d ago

Well... I don't know about the Skyrim bit... but I agree. Zelda is perhaps the greatest and most evolving series of all time.

Hicken4886d ago

Nope. No such thing. It's all well and good to hold the franchise in such high esteem, but it still winds up being simply your opinion.

A game starring a young Ganondorf... That would be kinda interesting

OtterX340d ago

Yea, maybe a story arc about how he becomes evil, but make him start out good/morally ambiguous.

Michiel1989340d ago

nintendo and morally ambiguous is a dumpsterfire I'd like to watch.

DefaultComment341d ago

He already was playable in original Hyrule Warriors ... just saying.

Inverno340d ago

WW's Ganon would probably be the most interesting of the bunch. It'd be a good way to not only return to WW but also Ocarina. We could see more of his upbringing, his motivations for trying to find the sacred realm, the fallen timeline, the flood, and how he survived. Tho I don't think he'd work well game wise unless they're willing to let us kill Link. Otherwise it'd be a really good concept for an animated film.

SubtilizZer340d ago (Edited 340d ago )

Omg if they could literally make him follow Links path similarly like maybe he had to deliver the items Link had to recover in the legend of Zelda in hopes to save a loved one or maybe for some political gain or maybe his father is betrayed by Hyrule omg my brain so many ways to do this very thing and it would work so well.

Like his family is left in possession of powerful artifacts that can shape or deal with issues plaguing different parts of their world. Through politics they agree to part with these but then when they part with them they are betrayed or setup. I don’t know but this shit would slap.

It could star a relative and Ganon could be a child that he stops to visit on his journey who looks up to his like a Shanks and Luffy kind of deal. Seeing Ganon as a young kid with no hate wow. Nintendo sleeping on this for real

Kneetos340d ago

He was my MVP in the hyrule warriors game
Probably the most fun character to play as

So, Which Zelda Games Aren't On Switch Yet?

"Thanks to the wonders of the Nintendo Switch Online retro games libraries (and some pretty top-notch remasters along the way), the Switch is now home to a whopping 16 different Zelda titles by our count, covering everything from Link's first outing to his latest adventures, plus remakes, remasters and spin-offs." -Jim Norman of Nintendolife

Still odd Twilight Princess and Wind Waker HDs still haven't been ported yet unless they're doing GC for NSO.

closed_account692d ago (Edited 692d ago )

Yea, currently Windwaker HD is my only huge regret left of not owning a WiiU. Seeing as how they brought most everything else major, I'm confident they will. The Starfox game is another missing game, but it never looked that good to me compared to the rest of the series.

-Foxtrot692d ago

I really can't believe they haven't done a remake of Ocarina of Time, or at least use the 3DS version as a jumping off point.

closed_account692d ago (Edited 692d ago )

Yes!! An Ocarina remake would sell like hotcakes, and once it's proven sales, a Majora's mask remake would be a shoe-in bc of the nature of its many shared assets.

FinalFantasyFanatic690d ago

Seems like a sure seller to me, I'm surprised that Zelda's anniversary was so bare bones, I was really hyped for some sort of HD collection that had may/may not include OoT, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess and Wind Waker.

-Foxtrot690d ago

Yeah it was super lacklustre for the anniversary

Even some kind of old school collection I’d have liked to see

Links Awakening
A Link to the Past
The Minish Cap
Oracle of Seasons / Ages
