Rank the Zelda series

[HandsomeDead]

I hate to drag on Wind Waker.  It's a super charming game but I'm sick to the back teeth of seeing it regarded as a top tier Zelda game despite it having the idiotic dungeons.

 

Out of 3D Zelda they're easily the worst.

 

Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword have have so, so much better dungeons going on.  And have more going on with characters.  Yes, WW has the graphics but the dungeons it has in that game sucks.  Nothing cool happens.

I'm surprised to see Phantom Hourglass so low (and low on other people's lists too), I thought that was well regarded, it's certainly one of the few I can say I've enjoyed

 

Wind Waker is probably the one I've most enjoyed, then the first Musu game is probably the next best

I have a habit of giving up on a lot of Zelda games (same with 2D Mario games actually) before finishing them. Before BOTW I don’t think I finished one since OoT.

I think Wind Waker and Links Awakening might be the only ones I've finished. I put about 100 or so hours into BotW and love it, but never went and beat Gandolf (that was a brain fart but I'm keeping it). BotW would probably be my fa
vourite, @one-armed dwarf

did a good job of explaining why. I never really spent much time with OoT, but did watch a friend complete it back in the day. I think I got about 90% of the way through Link to the Past but never actually beat it. I find the Zelda franchise odd in that if you asked me I would say I like them, but if I think about it, I'm actually pretty indifferent about them really.

Here’s an alternative list:

Out of the two lists, I definitely prefer the Guardians's.

Can’t argue with that guardian list (I haven’t looked at the others because they’re lists) personally except as to swap 16 and 17.

 

I think I’ve put about half an hour into Zelda 2 over the years. It’s just so confusing ? and the only Zelda I haven’t finished.

LTTP is my number two by quite a wide margin.

 

Not to derail the other topic any further: you should absolutely play A Link between Worlds. One of the few or possibly to only case where a really late sequel actually managed to surpass the original by very cleverly letting you experience a decades old world in a new and unique way.

I was looking at that. I'll keep an eye out for it, should it pop up on Nintendo store.
