The Legend of Zelda Series Thread (Twilight Princess SPOILER ALERT)

I think that this'll be a great addition to the Orange Belt! Because Zelda Comic has so many fans, there must be a ton of Zelda fans here as well. I thought we could use this thread to help each other out on games, talk about upcoming games, remember old games, post Zelda fanart....etc., etc. Good idea, no?

    Good thread. I've wanted to replay The Legend of Zelda since my mom talked about starting it up again last week. I should take a break from Silent Hill 3 to do that. I still can't remember where anything is, so it's got infinite replayability!

    I feel that while Ocarina of Time was a good game, it's easily the single most overrated game in existance. Good game? Yes. Best game ever material? Lord no.

    Who ever called it the best game ever? Maybe best Zelda game ever. Personally, I like Link to the Past or Link's Awakening the best.

    Correction, Final Fantasy 7 is the most overrated game of all time.

    My favorite LoZ would have to be Link to the Past.

    I guess you're right. FF7 has to be more overrated. Why? Because where as OoT was good, FF7 was garbage.

    I've seen it named the best game ever in a few magazines (not just Nintendo Power either).

    But I agree, A Link to the Past is probably the best Zelda game ever. Four Swords (not to be confused with the far inferior Four Swords Adventures) takes second in my book, followed by Link's Awakening.

    Let's stop talking about Ocarina of Time. While it's a pretty good game, it would be nice to have a Zelda thread where we could talk about the other games.

    I like how the original is still the only game where you could permanently lose a heart container: you could choose the red potion instead and you could give one up instead of the 50 rupees in the dungeons.

    ... I was pretty sure I was talking about LttP, FS, and LA, but whatever.

    Unlike Minish Cap where they can screw you out of a few items if you didn't do the right kinstone fusions before a certain point in the game.

    WAND OF GAMELON!!1

    But seriously, Zelda 2 is my all time favorite.

    I actually find LttP to be somewhat over-rated. The gameplay didn't have any glaring flaws, but seemed fairly generic, and the story and setting utterly failed to grip me like OoT's did.

    Link's Awakening, however, was made of awesome.

    I seem to have a much harder time with the 2d zelda games than the 3d ones. They just feel easier to me.

    I still havn't beaten ALTTP, and my Link's Awakening cartige won't save, so I can't get too far in that one.

    I feel the same way as DI, but exactly in reverse.

    Me too, minus the part where Link's Awakening would not be made of awesome. That was the first Game Boy game I ever owned, and it's still one of my favorites. Ah, the memories...

    Oh, wait, I misspoke. Link's Awakening is indeed packed with flavor.

    My list of favorites:

    1.Ocarina of Time (Pretty damn awesome game.)

    2.Wind Waker (awesome fighting styles!)

    3.The Legend of Zelda (can't beat the originals.)

    Although I haven't played: Link's Awakening,Oracle of Ages, Majora's mask (not too much, anyway)

    So I could be missing out.

    So my roommate and I have just decided to play every Zelda game from the original to Majora's Mask to the Minish Cap. I just beat level 3 of the original.


    Which reminds me, has anyone here actually beaten the 2nd quest in the original game?

    It occurs to me that the GameCube (combined with a Game Boy Player and the Zelda Collector's Edition) can play every game in the Zelda series. That will include the dual-release Twilight Princess (and Game & Watch Zelda too, since it's on Game & Watch Gallery 4 for GBA). So you can marathon the whole series on one convenient system. DOOOO IT.

    No, I never beat second quest on Zelda I. But I was more of a Zelda II guy meself. Nice to hear that Hamelin is also of the Zelda II persuasion! That makes exactly two awesome people on this forum.

    I never played through Zelda II until I had an emulator and could fast save. The save flaw was just too much for me, I never made it past level 3 on the NES version cause it would erase after that.

    Amoeba, of course I've beaten the second quest. It just lets you start the second quest again and again and again. No actual reward of any sort.

    Yeah, they already pointed that out in the disc that let you play Majora's Mask and Zelda 2 so as to toot their own horn. :p

    I'm starting to see that I might be the only one here who wasn't all that impressed with Majora's Mask.

    I never got an expantion pack for my N64, so I still haven't played it. I do own it, just never played it.

    I don't remember actually. I think I may very well have done so. I had a pretty wicked Zelda kick a little while back.

    Hmmm, the bow and arrow is a lot more worthless than I remember it being. But I think the boomerang is awesome enough to make up for it.

    I'm actually working on the second quest in Zelda I !! I hate how you lose all your cool junk and start over though....

    Ah, but half the fun is the maddening search for all your items that you vaguely think you know where they are but are now in slightly different places and out of order!
