I'm a big fan of all the Zelda games from the Gamecube onward, but my favorite was actually TLoZ: A Link to the Past because it was my first Zelda game. I don't think there are any titles in the series that I actually hate, but ones that I kind of disdained were Phantom Hourglass and the 3DS EShop re-release of Link's Awakening.
Phantom Hourglass was seriously flawed. The gameplay was exceedingly difficult on the DS's touch screen, since you basically had to swipe your stylus against it painfully hard just to get your sword to slash (It was the same in Spirit Tracks too, but the issue wasn't as bad as Phatom Hourglass). That alone made this game very hard to play through because you also had tap the touch screen for everything else and sometimes you'd activate the wrong actions, which got really annoying (especially in boss fights).
Link's Awakening kind of annoyed me because it seemed like the only point of the game was that you had to fight your way through a really bad Zelda/Mario crossover. Normally, I don't mind references to other Nintendo games, but this was bad to the point where I almost stopped playing (I beat it once through, but having played it since. Note: I downloaded the DX version from EShop, so I don't know what the original was like for the GBC if there are any differences at all).
Did you ever calibrate your ds? I calibrated my ds often and I had grown into the habit of holding with one hand and the other with a stylus. The hand with the stylus had the pinky holding the R button to open up the item and use it. Very complicated to learn but cut the time of frustration. When I calibrated I barely touched the screen so tjat it was
sensitive.


My favorite tool was the arrow in OoT. I was a boss with the arrows especially in twilight princess with the new setup for shooting arrows. I also have Link's crossbow training and that is really fun.

Hmm... This one's a toughie.

If masks count, I'd say the Stone mask from Majora's mask. It makes you invisible to most enemies in the game, allowing you to either stroll by unnoticed or attack without being seen. It also every stealth 'mission' into an absolute joke.

If not, then I'd probably have to say the Spinner from Twilight Princess. So what if its nearly useless outside of the dungeon you get it from? The Spinner is ridiculous and I love it.

I've played plenty of Zelda games before, but Skyward Sword would have to be my personal favorite. Its graphics were extremely bright and colorful, and the story wasn't hard to get sucked into—it was pretty interesting. Plus, most of the time, you had to swing your arms around with Wiimote to control the player (not just mash random buttons)—this helped you feel as if you were actually in the game, and not someone who was just viewing things from the outside. Along with Skyward Sword, another of my favorites is Twilight Princess.

My favorite characters from the series are definitely Zelda and Link. These are the main, though, so aside from them, I also like Navi (some may find her to be a bit annoying, but I still like her), Demise, Ganon, and Epona. Epona, especially, since she's such a friendly horse. (: You were able to ride her wherever and whenever, and she'd always come running to you as soon as you blew your whistle. Wish I had a pet horse like this in real life.
My words exactly!

I loved Skyward Sword's cartoony design. That game appealed to me more than any other of the Zelda franchise! The story line was also good and not too complicated. The graphics were simply great and I loved flying. <3 I also think Zelda just so cute, cheery and up-beat, which I found much better than the somber Twilight Princess Zelda, even if you don't see her often. The dungeons are also fun, though trying to use the bow can be a pain.

My second favourite would be Twilight Princess. This game's graphics were simply amazing for it's time and Epona is the best! The riding mechanics were so well done. The dark story is much different to Skyward Sword's, but I still enjoyed it. There's also a lot to do in that game and it never gets boring. <3
I forget how emotions dance when they aren't inside of me
I forget how the sun feels when she isn't around me
And my dreams become sweeter when something is missing
I'm in love with the hunt itself
It makes me feel alive

For the item discussion, my favorite item in the Zelda world is probably the Bow&Arrow. As much fun as the melee combat is, sometimes I just wanna snipe foes. And having a variety of weapons (you get a sword, bow, bombs, slingshot, iron ball, etc) is fun. The nice thing is that, for whatever reason, I'm a decent shot with the bow in the Zelda games, for the most part, unlike most other games, where my shooting skills are so-so (particularly with sniping, I'm a terrible sniper, which is sad because sniping is so fun).

My favorite Zelda games are Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time. The only one I wasn't too fond of was Four Swords. And the last bit of Wind Waker (collecting the pieces of the Triforce of Courage was ****ing awful).

Although its not exactly a useful item, I loved the hint glasses in LBW, simply because its so hilarious to walk around in a pair of Groucho Marx glasses. I say this in complete honesty that I wish you could play through the game with them on the entire time without the blue tint. Alas though, you can't.

So yeah, I finally played Link between Worlds(actually played a lot of 3DS games lately, but this is the LoZ thread). Mostly happy, except for some things.
1. I am extremely glad how the plot played out. Nothing related to other games, and even though its a retread of of LttP's plot, the way they planned things did bring enough twists. I liked how they started the quest with the first dungeon not being the beginning of a fetch quest, and then later on letting you do things at your own pace. Most importantly with the plot, the choices of the sages was perfect. Everyone and anyone that was important to you thanks to plot exposition and exploration needed saving, and it gave the game a greater sense of personal satisfaction then the series has ever employed.
2. The music. Nothing more needs to be said. Everything fits, everything works. The different levels of grandiose used for Hyrule/Lorule was an amazing surprise, as was Lorule Castle's slow build up to the final moments. When the lyrics finally hit you towards the end, you just wanna stand there and let the soundtrack play. Although, to be honest, I wouldn't have minded an option to have the acoustic version of every track play instead of the normal versions during hero mode.
3. The most important part however, is how different yet how same the game feels to LttP. Its the same OW, but its not the same world. Especially lorule. Only thing I would have liked is if Hyrule was a bit more fleshed out, cause too much focus is given to Lorule.
4. This game does leave you a bitter taste in one aspect though. It makes you realize what a misstep the last 4 games have been. Not saying they aren't excellent mind you(I hold Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword in the highest regard, and I think Spirit Tracks is still the most underrated title in the series despite its flaws) but after this game, the standards bar has been raised to a height the series hasn't achieved since Majora's Mask. I still don't know if its good though, cause the expectations I now have for Zelda U are astronomically high. Too high for my own good I say.

Everyone and anyone that was important to you thanks to plot exposition and exploration needed saving, and it gave the game a greater sense of personal satisfaction then the series has ever employed.
I felt kind of disappointed but the plot. What was there was fantastic, but because of the whole non linearity thing there were large gaps in the game that have very little plot advancement. If you play through other Zelda games there's usually quite a bit of content between dungeons that introduces new characters and sometimes expands on other ones. ALBW felt kind of... lonely, because once you get to Lorule you don't really meet any important characters after Hilda (I guess you can kind of count some of the people in Thieve's Town, but they're pretty irrelevant) so it's pretty much just Link doing his thing until the end of the game.

4. This game does leave you a bitter taste in one aspect though. It makes you realize what a misstep the last 4 games have been. Not saying they aren't excellent mind you(I hold Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword in the highest regard, and I think Spirit Tracks is still the most underrated title in the series despite its flaws) but after this game, the standards bar has been raised to a height the series hasn't achieved since Majora's Mask. I still don't know if its good though, cause the expectations I now have for Zelda U are astronomically high. Too high for my own good I say.
The dungeons in the game set an incredibly high standard for me and I hope Zelda U delivers in that regard. Playing through Wind Waker again I realised how many of the older puzzles were more frustrating than anything, and had an abundance of repetition. The dungeons and puzzles in ALBW were pretty ingenious and never felt bland or irritating. Hopefully future games can keep this up.


Also, re: items, I'd probably put the Beetle from SS as my favourite. I was using it constantly from the beginning to scout out places and what not.

My first Zelda experience was Link to the Past. Didn't know much English at the time but thanks to games like Zelda I had a better motivation to learn than just studying it in school "because". Loved every bit of it then, and it might because of nostalgia goggles, but I do think it's one of the better games in the series. However, taken as a whole, Ocarina of Time just provided an overall better experience and I have so many memories of running around during school breaks, pretending to be characters from the game :3c ....

I did have a period of absence from the series for a while though. I never owned a Gamecube and almost never touched any of the portable games. I did enjoy Twilight Princess when it came out but felt that there was something lacking - can't really pinpoint what but I never did finish that game....

Bought a Wii U partly because Windaker HD looked so gorgeous (and the special remote as well): the game was very enjoyable even if it was a bit too easy on normal. Will probably pick up "A Link Between Worlds" as my traditional summer holiday purchase ;)

Windwaker and Twilight Princess have been my favorite. I LIKE Ocarina of Time but not as much as those two. However after using a Windwaker texture pack on OOT, I think I've fallen in love once again.

Well, I do consider myself to be a pretty big Zelda fan....

My favorite game is Link: The Faces of Evil for the Phillips' CD-i. Never before has a game touched me inside, and artistically moved me.

jk, my favorite is Wind Waker. The cartoony design is just wonderful, and it's arguably the best looking Gamecube game. The sword mechanic took everything from Ocarina of Time, and injected steroids into it. You need to own this game if you have a gamecube or Wii U.

And the coolest Zelda item is the Pegasus Boots in BS The Legend of Zelda: The Ancient Stone Tablets (it's a Japanese-only game, distributed online to the Satellaview Super Famicom add-on). It works like it does in LTTP, but guess what? YOU CAN TURN!!

I've played Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker; always wanted to play Twilight Princess because of the different direction of art style and the darker themes, in comparison to others. Ocarina of Time has been one of my all-time favourite games because it was a childhood game and one of the very firsts I've played. It's one of those timeless video games that even though the graphics may not be high-end, it was definitely an excellent game for its time. Wind Waker was okay, memorable, but not my favourite.

Wind waker is my favorite. Loved the open map and the feeling that you could go anywhere. I also love the cel shaded graphics and the more lighthearted story. But many Zelda-games are great. I really like the oracle-games for the gameboy colors, especially oracle of ages. That game had some seriously hard puzzles.

What kinds of enemies from the Legend of Zelda stick out to the most, and enjoy fighting? Well, 'enjoy fighting' is one part of it - were there any memorable things you would like to share about the enemies from Zelda, like, what do you think of some of them?

Hm, for example, does anyone else hate fighting the Like Likes?



Well, it's not as if they're not hard to kill, but, aren't they like, really, really creepy? XD They way that they wiggle and try to gobble you up. Ugh. Honestly, I'd rather fight 1000 giant skulltulas then fight one of these things. Creepy.

I was never really creeped out by LikeLikes. But one enemy that stuck out to me was the Darknuts (was that how it was spelled? I don't remember) from Twlight Princess. Ya know, them heavily armored dudes with the sword skills. Those guys actually posed some challenge to fight, unlike most non-boss enemies I've encountered in Zelda.

And y'all remember these things, right?:

Yeah, Twilight Princess Darknuts are some of the best sword duels in the entire series. That layered armor, the battle music, and then having to deal with the non-armored faster attacks later on....just damn. Speaking of TP, aside from the 1st boss, all the bosses are amazing. Argorok really seals the deal for the game, I really wish we could get more dragons as bosses. Hell, give me a straight up dragon related plot, all these eye based bosses in LBW was boring.

Which game is the Like Likes from? o.o I've never seen them before...The only ones I've played are Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time, and between the both of them, giant skulltulas are the most horrendous looking creatures I've seen >< My absolute hatred towards spiders makes me cry like a baby and squirm whenever I encountered them XD

Oh please, what about these guys?



Not saying that the Skulltulas aren't scary, but the Floormaster hands from Ocarina of time were way scarier. I used to dread them all the time. Especially in Wind Waker when you're in the Earth Temple and they were hiding in the mist ;______;



And I believe the Like Likes were in Majoras Mask when you were in Jabu's belly? I could be wrong on that, but that's where I believe they're from!

Ah, never played Majora's Mask during the time I owned a Nintendo 64 so that probably explains why I'm not familiar with those enemies :P The Floormasters were creepy as well! I've never acquainted myself with the actual names so I'm learning something new :D Really want to get the Ocarina of Time 3D soon!

I love how I called them Wallmasters this whole time instead of Floormasters....

Oh my god Ocarina of Time for the 3DS, I definitely need to get that. Majora's Mask can definitely be a pain if you don't know the right songs to play on the Ocarina, but it's a really good game! It's also really cool how they used that same universe for the game and was able to put a fresh twist on it.

ALSO, just looked it up: I was off with the game too. Jabu's Belly level was actually in Ocarina of Time, so although they are in Majora's Mask supposedly they're in Ocarina of Time as well! (It's been awhile since I've played the game and it's late :3 )

LikeLikes have existed in several games, iirc. Don't remember which ones (besides Ocarina of Time), but I'm pretty sure they've appeared in more than one game.
