The Legend of Zelda

[XERO]

It still amazes me to this day that Wind Waker finally got the praise it deserved after getting sh*tted on in the beginning because of the graphic change.

I blame that 2000 Space World demo.

Ah, I see. The whole reason I got a Wii was for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The Wii is my current favorite system since I can play pretty much any generation of Nintendo games on it, lol.

I've play both the Wii and Gamecube versions. I bought the Gamecube one because I didn't have a Wii at the time. I think overall I prefer the Gamecube one, just because it feels more comfortable to play it with a controller. I don't mind Motion controls, it just feels better to me with the GCN Controller.

As for the Sword. I have seen those, they are awesome. A friend of mine has one, he also has the Hylian Shield with it as well, lol.

I missed out on the whole Gameboy craze, so about a year ago, I picked up a GBA second hand with Pokemon Fire Red. I couldn't put it down. So I decided to get into Zelda. now i have a backlog of old games to get through.

I also own a Wii. So based on some of the recommendations here I may purchase a few Zelda games for it too.

Nice, I remember on my first run of A Link to the Past I was stuck on Turtle Rock for a LONG time. It was all because of the puzzle in the chain chomp room, lol.

I am going through the Minish Cap right now as well. The first time I ever ordered that game, the dude that sent it to me put it in an envelope, then cut the top part of the side of it, slipped the game out, and mailed it to me. so I got an empty letter..

I ended up ordering it again and it came the second time, but this copy bugs out sometimes and causes the game to freeze. It's really annoying, lol.

I'm actually still in the process of working on a "Top 16 Zelda Games" List. I'm actually not sure how I would rate the games right now, so I'm doing more runs in all the games to help me decide. I definitely know that Four Swords is my least favorite. Doesn't mean I don't like it though.

I'll admit, I was one of the many people who did exactly that. I remember picking this up in stores and looking at the back of the case and just thinking to myself "Wow, that looks absolutely retarded...". Of course that was when I was younger and I have grown up since. I actually like Cell Shaded Graphics now and have since before I did my first run of Wind Waker, lol. Makes me wish I would have given it a chance sooner.

Some of the best fighting mechanics and boss fights are in Wind Waker. And the ending of the final fight with Ganondorf? Loved it.

Actually, one of the things that I love about the Zelda series (as well as the Mario series) is that each game has something about it that it does better than the others in the series, they're all very similar but each one has something that makes it unique.

I think either Ocarina or Twilight Princess has my favorite boss fights.

THIS ^

I absolutely LOVE that final duel. One of my favorite boss battles in all video gamedom.

Looooove Zelda. I played the original back in '87 not long after it was released. My Dad was a huge video game fanatic when we were kids and always bought the latest Nintendo stuff. A Link To The Past is probably my favourite, followed by Wind Waker, and I have to say Skyward Sword was pre-TEEeeeee, pretty good

Phew! Finally got through Turtle Rock. Now on my way to Ganon's Tower.

I'm a casual who has played several of the games (the 2 NES games, Orcarina of Time which is the only Zelda game that I've played straight through and still one of the best games of all-time, Majora's Mask, and Oracle of Ages/Seasons). I may have seen a couple episodes of the cartoon, but can't really recall it that well. But there is so much material out there that I can't seem to have a chance to get to everything, just like how a public figure has so many supporters and loves them all but doesn't have the time to greet everyone.

Looking for some input.

Since Internet has been messing up at home lately, I can't continue uploading videos to my youtube because it keeps going out. So I decided to start recording some clips for a big Zelda video I am working on during the down time.

The video is going to be every Zelda Boss Battle in the series done No Damage. I've gotten Zelda 1 and 2 finished right now and I'm working on some others.

I am having trouble deciding what bosses to put in there from Four Swords Adventures because every stage has a boss and a lot of them are basically the same enemies, just with a different twist on them. Got any advice or suggestions on which ones I should include in the video?

I was planning on including all the "End of Area" Bosses, but there are some other bosses I feel like should be in the video as well.

Most of the end stage bosses are either Solider Genereals with a Few Minion Soliders, a Battle against Shadow Link, Ball & Chain Soliders, or Stalfos Knights. The bosses I have decided on doing so far are...

Phantom Ganon - Round 1 (Stage 1-3)
Stone Arrghus (Stage 2-3)
Helmarock King (Stage 3-2)
Jalhalla - Round 1 (Stage 4-2)
Jalhalla - Round 2 (Stage 4-3)
Phantom Ganon - Round 2 (Stage 5-3)
Giant Moldorm (Stage 6-3)
Frostare (Stage 7-3)
Dodongo's & King Dodongo (Stage 8-1)
Vaati (Stage 8-3)
Ganon (Stage 8-3)

The other bosses to choose from are...

Knight General (Stage 1-1 / 3-1 / 8-2)
Shadow Link (Stage 1-2 / 2-2 / 5-1 / 6-1 / 6-2 / 8-2)
Manhandla (Stage 2-1 / 7-1)
Ball & Chain Knight (4-1 / 7-2)
Stalfos Knight (4-1 / 5-2 / 6-1 / 7-1)

As you can see these guys make multiple appearences, which is why I am unsure about including them. I'm very sure I missed a level or two that they may have appeared in.

What do you guys think? You think the bosses I have chosen from this are fine? Do you think I should add some of the ones I didn't originally include?

I luv playing zelda! I'm trying 2 play four swords but I'm stuck in the begining link moves all by himself and walks up 2 zelda and then they talk and Vaati comes blah blah blah then link grabs the sword etc.. etc... then the music plays and the i get this thing that says "press start" and it flashes i have no idea what to do i think my gameboy is broken.

[wussy fuz bunny]

Quoted for Lens of Truth...

[Redmage1987]

Actually, if you're playing the original Four Swords, you only need 1 other person to play. You both have to have a cartridge of the game and a link cable though.

[tmnt transformer]

Well whatever......I'm currently playing the Oot MQ 3d on my zelda edition 3ds....MAN IS THAT GAME HARD!!!

[GK Punk]

My customized Master Sword Replica. I used it for cosplay and wanted it Purple like in the last couple of games. That was as close to the bluish purple as we could get, and the green ribbons need redone later too. But I still love it.

[Zulithe]

I've been playing Zelda since the original on NES and don't plan on ever stopping! I have completed every game 100% (found every item and heart piece... maybe not EVERY secret though)

recently ordered this... i will be so happy when it arrives from Japan

[XERO]

If we're talkin' about Zelda Boss Fights, my all time favorite is against Stallord from Twilight Princess.

[HeavyMetalCarebear]

Haven't played Zelda for a while. Favorite game is Ocarina of Time.

I was actually pretty late to the Zelda series even though I'm a die hard Nintendo fan boy. My first foray was with Twilight Princess on the Wii, which I loved. I FINALLY got to play Ocarina of Time with the 3DS re-release and couldn't believe I never played it before. Though, I was spoiled by Twilight Princess and hated that OoT didn't have that amazing kill move.

Can't really blame you. People who start off on series at the twilight (no pun intended) of its process tend to miss out on the earlier stuff that made it what it is now. It's a shame.
