What's your favorite Zelda game ?

[Jman]

I'm the only one that likes Skyward Sword? ;.;

I liked it because it just seemed a lot more challenging than the other games in terms of combat. The puzzles were a bit creative too. It fully utilized the Wii Motion Plus, and made it very interesting to play. True, the controls locked up a few times, but once I got past it, I really enjoyed the game. Not to mention the best character in all of Zelda, GROOSE.

Skyward Sword had the best dungeons in the entire series. However the filler between the dungeons and the crappy sky overworld really killed the rest of the game for me.

to be perfectly honest

the only times I've played Skyward Sword was: The first time, only a few minutes into the game. The second time, a friend's house.

And it's been sitting on the shelf for 1-2 years or what was it.

I'm considering playing it for real soon. Probably when I beat Superstar Saga which I don't expect to happen for a while. The music is honestly sort of bad.

I guess I'm not the only one who thought Skyward Sword got boring fast, I at least made it to near the end of the game, but I don't care enough to continue. I think the best games in the series were ALTTP,MM,and the Oracle of Ages/Seasons.

Don't know how many of you saw that screenshot I posted of the Hexen Mage doing the Capcom hand. It's the reason I was surprised when I got to the dungeon 4 mid boss in Oracle of Seasons. It's the spitting image of said mage.

And then, it all came to a full circle.

I think A Link Between Worlds is now vying for my top spot against Wind Waker. Interestingly, many of the people I know who have always liked WInd Waker the most are among the biggest fans of A Link Between Worlds.

Technically speaking the game is amazing, at least to my unprofessional eyes and ears. Even with the slider down the visuals are appealing enough to make me not want to warp everywhere. The music is absolutely fantastic everywhere. Especially in a couple of the dungeons - which are, by the way, some of the best handheld dungeons I've played.

Link's Awakening for me. I grew up with that game, so it has a special place in my heart.

...I could never actually get through a Zelda game legitimately. I always got bored halfway through. Except for Link's Awakening, of course.

[Jman]

I beat oracle of seasons the other day, and I must say, I was really impressed with it. I'm changing my vote :3

[Chme]

Yep, I don't know why the Oracles games aren't well-known. They are amazing games, with a lot of good ideas, and an amazing soundtrack too.
And the Subrosian are the best characters I've ever seen.

Edit: Damn, the add of Between Worlds in the pool have reseted it.
Can you re-vote ?

[Geno]

I assume you can, due to the fact that the older results have been lost.

So, I re-voted for LTTP.

Hijacking thread for lack of a proper General Legend of Zeldo Discussion thread. Also, for this:

Watch video. Discuss.

EDIT: To kinda stay on (hopefully previous) topic, I prefer the original Legend of Zelda on the NES.

[Jman]

I would've been fine if Arin kept Skyward Sword out of that video's discussion... wow, Arin is quite fond of strawman...

I really don't get the fuss over skyward sword, though. My only complaints with it are:
-Fi stating the obvious
-Grinding
-Dousing

I like:
-The motion controls that everyone hates for some reason
-The dungeons
-Zelda being relevant for once and not being a plot device you see only one or two times total
-Groose
-The upgradable item system
-Bomb Bowling (weird echo). Fuck you it was cool
-Everything about the desert section, especially the time anomaly system
-ROBOT PIRATES
-Every boss fight (except the damn giant squid that should've looked a lot more intimidating than that)
-Dynamic combat system
-The story actually got me this time. It was almost as good as Twilight Princess's.

BOOP. On the side note: I changed my favorite to Oracle of Seasons. I really love the way that game improved on Link's Awakening's design.

[Doctor Jughu]

I think arin is kinda right about the bats(keese) but make it 3D brings more logic in it

First in place
Throw bombs boomerangs and shoot hookshots and arrows In all directions!
With Keese which has to be locked on it Arin was kinda being shitty on that windwaker on he said you had to lock on them en take them out one from one if he just swiped the normal use of the boomerang he could lock on multiple things which also was done in phantom hourglass and spirit tracks
and maybe other... zelda games... that i dont know

[Yuri Sakazaki]

I loved Skyward Sword, myself. Won't go into details though.

My true love lies in Majora's Mask for the amazing atmosphere.

[Jman]

Don't get me wrong. I always did think that OoT was overrated, but wow, I never thought someone, especially someone like Arin, to say something like, "THERE'S TOO MUCH WAITING AAAA". Hold on, let me just look back at his tragic wind waker lp, where every time he skips important dialogue, he runs in circles for 3 episodes.
Just a silly opinion, but I lost a lot of respect for Arin after some of his Game Grumps moments

He could have instead talked about other underlying problems with the game, where the overall design is just poor. Such as the water temple or lost woods 2nd visit. Or maybe he could've talked about how hyrule field is just a big empty level hub with nothing that important on it. But no. He just channels his own impatience and complains about chest opening, switch hunting, and defensive enemies.

THEN he goes a step forward and implies that OoT took the series in a negative direction, with skyward sword being the epitome of all bad things zelda. All I can say is: Majora's Mask. That game was a direct improvement from OoT. Yes, the time system turns some people off, but it makes the world feel truly alive. It's the kind of exploration someone like Arin would want, because the world's changes over the 3 days, rewarding you for completing optional objectives that can be solved only through initiative and  searching. But no. Arin hates waiting.
