What's your favorite Zelda game ?

[Chme]

Unoriginaly, my prefered is A link to the past.
That's not my first Zelda, but I'd fallen in love for this game after played it, for a lot of reasons: Graphics, Soundtrack, Story, the parallels worlds...
Otherwise, I realy like the oracles, Awakening (that ballad of the wind fish is still stuck in my mind), Twilight Princess, Ocarina of time...

To be honest, Knux, I think she's saying that she didn't expect Nintendo to have such low quality music in her opinion. I'd be surprised if I found a Nintendo-made game that had terrible music.

[NemZ]

I found the original Zelda tedious.  Far too much time gets lost searching for where the hell to go, and just wandering around using candles on every bush everywhere is hell.  It's a game that is only tolerable at all with a guide.

[Knux]

To be honest, Knux, I think she's saying that she didn't expect Nintendo to have such low quality music in her opinion.

Even if that's the case, that's certainly not what it sounded like.

[Chme]

NemZ, the fact that you don't have anyone saying you where to go is why I like the first Zelda: like in Metroid games, you have to explore everywhere to find the palaces and items.
But I understand that can be tedious for players that prefer the phases more actives

[Koal]

The first.
Oh and Turtle Rock is the worst dungeon ever made.

SOMEONE hasn't seen the nightmare that is the Skull Dungeon in Oracle of Ages.

[Knux]

I thought Jabu Jabu's Belly in Ages was the worst dungeon ever. I actually breezed through Skull Dungeon, and I also thought it had the best dungeon music by when I got to the end of the game.

[Kapus]

Oh, thank you, Knux. "Worst dungeon" and "Oracle of Ages" are not complete in a sentence without "Jabu Jabu's Belly".

Heck, I would say that Jabu Jabu's Belly is the most annoying Zelda dungeon period if I had played all the games.

[Knux]

I know, right? I spent over a week trying to figure out where I messed up. I thought I had broken the game by the time I found out what to do next. I'm rather thankful for Restore Points, you know.  

[MusashiAA]

I just recently beat The Legend of Zelda. I loved it far more than any other Zelda games I've played (Z2, ALttP, OoT, MM, LA, and TMC, by the way): it surely was the Skyrim of its era.

[NemZ]

But it's MUCH faster to systematically check for secrets in Metroid than it is in Zelda, and for the most part the locations of such secrets are better signaled by suspicious stage designs.

In both cases the SNES versions of the games were the best incarnations thereof because it found the perfect balance in guiding the player without forcing, with many completely optional but fun things hidden in odd corners of the map and with sequence breaking a definite possibility in each.

[Koal]

Oh right, I had forgotten about Jabu Jabu's belly. The annoying water lower crap was enough to make you want to tear your hair out.
Ancient ruins in Oracle of Season's was pretty bad too... But Skull Dungeon for me was the hardest because if you died before you could reach the midpoint boss, you had to grind your way through the WHOLE DUNGEON all over again, thanks to how linear it was.

[Alpha X]

LTTP is good, indeed but i prefer ocarina of time because 1 thing:
Water Temple that is all

[Ceridran]

We never got a general Legend of Zelda discussion, can this become one? With a name like "Legend of Zelda Discussion" and the poll that stays there?

[Knux]

We are talking about every Zelda game in the first place, so I don't see why not.
