Well now, when it comes to the games, what are my favourites? After looking at some of the other user pages on the Zelda Wiki, I suddenly feel obliged to state my favourites. So, here they are!
Contents |
1. Ocarina of Time
After much consideration, I conclude that Twilight Princess is awesome in every aspect, but I grew up with Ocarina of Time, and it's the one I've played above almost every other Zelda game. It is THE story I grew up loving, and to date I've finished it over and over well past 40 times. Other games have better features, but the love I have for this game nets it spot number one.
Favourite Moment: Opening the Door of Time as a child. The music there is EPIC.
Least Favourite Moment: Water Temple...ugh. Dark Link is the only redeeming factor. Morpha...too annoying, after such a hard temple. To my credit, I've never gotten stuck in it.
Extra Comments: The Redeads in this game...I was SO scared of them when I first saw them. They are at their all-time scariest in OoT, and somehow even MM failed to capture my fear the same way OoT did. Perhaps it's because they can die in one hit on MM...
2. Twilight Princess
The very best in terms of what you can do. Beautifully detailed, I could never get sick of this game. It was a very close battle with Ocarina of Time, but eventually I was forced to stick this into slot number 2. In fact, this was almost beaten by number 4! More on that soon.
Favourite Moment: Battle with Zant. An amusing battle that reminded me very much of the battle against Majora's Mask. I loved the music that played during the battle, particularly in phases 1, 3 and 4.
Least Favourite Moment: Anything involving Sumo wrestling. Again, ugh. This is the only moment of the game which made me groan. Good thing it wasn't a huge part of the story.
Extra Comments: The Twilight Realm threw me off at first, but I got used to it quickly. Horseback battle is nothing short of awesome, and the bosses in this game are so awesome...I could go on for ages. But, the next.
3: The Wind Waker
I did NOT think this game would reach anything above place 6, when I first turned it on. I was one of the people who was groaning in disgust at the cel-shading, and I actually swore when I first heard of it that I would NEVER play it. However, after a long time, I finally decided to buy it, after I saw it on Ebay along with Master Quest, after reading about how good it was. At first, I was afraid I was right, but I quickly found ALL my suspicions to be misplaced. I hated nothing in this game. The sailing, said to become tedious by all reviews, never became tedious. Even Tingle, said to be incredibly annoying, wasn't as annoying as I thought he'd be. Somehow, this game captured my heart, and earned itself bronze prize.
Favourite Moment: How Link first enters the Forsaken Fortress. Read a little lower for more info.
Least Favourite Moment: Carlov and Manny. They're too damn creepy. Also, any moment that ends with a heart in speech. Ugh.
Extra Comments: Princess Zelda may be the only character who has a cel-shaded form which I like even better than her "real" form. I am a big fan of her appearance in this game. I also love Medli in this game.
4. Majora's Mask
I love the lives the NPC's have in this game. They're not just souless suppliers of information as they are in so many other games, they actually have things to do, which they do try and accomplish, instead of just talking about it. The dark, surreal attitude of this game is engaging, and the fact that Link is, apart from Tatl, truly alone is what seperates it from the rest. Until the end, not even the friends he makes remember him with the playing of the Song of Time. Wow.
Favourite Moment: The entire Ranch side-quest. I love Romani and Cremia. They're my favourite characters in MM.
Least Favourite Moment: When the moon crashes into Termina. Insane...
Extra Comments: Extra points for the ability to redo anything you might complete without making a new file. Everyone I know finds this annoying...but I don't.
Not much to say about the 2-D games, but...
5. Oracle of Seasons: A very unappreciated game on this Wiki, equally as much as the below game. Very sad, very sad. This was a very fun game, especially when linked. The ability to change seasons is unique to this game, and I love the abilities that come with it.
6. Oracle of Ages: Again, very unappreciated. The ability to travel through time is very fun in this game.
7. Link's Awakening: The second Zelda game I ever played, this game kept me playing it for a very long time.
Least Favourite Moment: Eagle's Tower. This took me three months to solve the first time XP
8. A Link to the Past: ...hmmm...got nothing to say on this one besides it was a fun play.
Least favourite moment: Helmasaur King. This is the hardest boss I've ever seen in any game. It kills me at least nine times each time I play. I HATE it!
