What is your favorite Zelda?
 

It's that time again boys and girls. With Twilight Princess settled in everyone's mind now, possibly your opinions have changed, or perhaps you don't give two charred dodango corpses about it. That's cool too. Vote for your favorite Zelda game and tell the world where you stand....or just the people on this forum....I'll shut up now.

Nothing can ever play like Ocarina of Time. I could play that game forever. I've played it so many times, I don't even have to think about playing the game anymore. I just let my hand patterns play the game for me. It's just the most memorable game for me.

I guess you kinda saw my decision coming a mile away, but I stand by it. Best Zelda ever.

I'm not at all familliar with TP yet (or half of the GB games), so my vote goes to A Link To The Past (SNES version cuz I don't approve of playing a 6-button game on a 4-button system).

Dit to the tizzo.8)

My problem is I like different elements from each Zelda. I like the epic feel and story of OoT, love the style of Wind Waker, and enjoy the more complex puzzles in Twilight Princess.

If I had to choose, though. The Wind Waker.

Poll added.

I go with Twilight, because it honors my former favorite, Ocarina for reference, in subtle (and not so subtle) ways, yet it kicks it's ass in every department I could ever want. It offers a cinematic feel, plot twists, amazing music, and character endearment previously unknown to the series, all the while preserving the original feel and maxing it out in every possible aspect. I can't possibly think of anything I could ever want from a game that Twilight doesn't offer, which is why if the game is indeed the last of it's style, I'm glad it went out on this one.

And Midina is the best sidekick ever, bar none.

It was a toss up between OoT, and TP...

Thats not to say I didn't love the **** out of WW, cause I did, it's easily in my top 15 games of all time.

But I voted TP.

Voted Link to the Past. No other Zelda game even comes close to how great it was IMO.

I've retracted my dislike of the Wind Waker and have come to this thread with a good answer.

I liked OOT and Link To The Past the best. I didn't play Zelda for too long, but I enjoyed OOT alot. The fight with Ganondorf, the challenge in the Temples, and that Master Quest thats out on Gamecube. Makes for some challenging gaming.

It was so hard to pick 1.. There was soo many excellent games on the list however OOT is the one I picked. Despite the graphics now, the game is still a masterpiece. Link to the past was my 2nd pick. Twilight princess is good but it didn't feel like the "best" zelda game ever.. It is excellent but it was overhyped thinking it was going to be the best...

For me it's a tie between LttP and WW but I voted for WW.

I firmly believe every game on this list is a true example that good gameplay and good story will always outlive graphics. LttP and OoT prove this now, and I believe TP will join them.

My Favo Zelda is:
Zelda XI: Twilight Princess
So I'm voted that :P

Link's awakening all the way, baby. It's one of those three Gameboy Games I just couldn't stop playing (The others are Tetris and Mario 2). But this Zelda is just godly. And it gets even more fun when you have the L2-sword.

Too bad I don't have a Gameboy anymore.

Link's Awakening was actually the first Zelda I ever played so it will always have a dear place in my heart.

I have so many memories tied to playing the original Legend of Zelda its hard not to pick it...its still a game I play from time to time...

WW is a very close second...I LOVED the style and gameplay of the game like no other...

I love both NES ones, but Zelda II will always be my favourite. I really don't know why, probably because it took me forever to actually finish... but screw that maze palace and those damn Moas. I don't know why so many people dislike this game.

I think everyone knows my favorite is The Wind Waker. Yeah it has its flaws, but the sheer love that went into this game is just amazing. Games like this one are why I play video games.

Second is Ocarina of Time. It hasn't aged too greatly, but it was a masterpiece for its time.

I always thought the game has aged very well (especially in comparison to, let's say Mario 64). The controls feel a bit clunky compared to WW and some of the graphics are just horrible but overall it's still a lot fun to play.

As much as I love Twilight Princess, I'm going with ALttP. I still remember the sense of awe I had after I killed Agahnim for the first time and got tossed in to the Dark World. Come Ocarina, I expected something like that.

And the items! Christ, the first time around I must have spent days trying to find the Staff of Bryna... or digging up the Flute and calling the chicken.

This was also the first Zelda that I dug everything out of. Every heart, every bottle, every item, every upgrade... I sunk months into the game with no help aside from a quick glance from a little black book it came with.
