Thoughts on the Zelda franchise?
>>12706985>Zelda 1good game, fun exploration, lots of cool romhacks and overall a comfy experience. Wizzrobes can go fuck themselves though.>zelda 2ok, fun if you view it in a castlevania style, combat can be a bit offputting and boring/repetitive >ALTTP (Zelda 3)good, if a little slow, but sets the groundwork for the rest of the series, secrets are fun and the bosses are good>LABest Zelda game, comfy yet ominous, fun characters, fourth-wall breaking not taking itself too seriously, with some of the most fun dungeons in the series>OOTGood, pretty much ALTTP 3D, story a bit too grandiose, but fun for the most part. Forest Temple is excellent. Minigames suck. >MMThe gay retarded cousin of OTT. It's fine for what it is but it is massivley overatted. The mask transformations are cool, but most of the themes and 'gloom' were done better in LA.>Oracle gamesExcellent, Capcom should have done more Zelda games. Jabu-Jabu in Ages is cancer though. >WWUnfinished, but fun for what it is. Islands and sailing are comfy, but the dungeons suck.>MCGood, but no where near as good as the Oracle games. Way too easy and very short, and the kinstone trading quests are pretty AIDS and make it easy to miss out on 100%.>TPEdgy OOT. Pretty shit and probably the worst 3d zelda until TP came along.
>>12707018You're correct on everything but Majora Mask, MM destroys Overrated of Time
i only like the original and the snes game.
>>12706985It's a series that gives every generation an entry, and where you stand whether what game is best depends on when you were born and what you grew up on.
>>12708159What if I don't like any of them?
>>12708162You grew up on something else entirely.
>>12708159Bullshit cope, ocarina was my first and it's far from my favorite
>>12706985Zelda is pretty dank FR Zelda II is my favorite no cap.
>>12706985lmfao what is this retarded rubric? Zelda 1/2 doesn't need a compelling narrative, it just needs to give you a sword and let you fuck off. And what makes Oracles/Minish less "long-lived"(?) than TP?
>the legend of zeldatoo much hidden shit. there are hints but even those are hidden behind walls you have to know can be bombed or shit like that.despite that is not a bad game if you know what you are doing.>the adventure of linknot as hard as memers think, but i can see why they think so because of the change in perspective and emphasis in combat. it's grindy, though. there are still secrets, but it's mostly optional things, so you don't get stuck wondering what the fuck you need to do to progress, some external help may still be necessary. overall an underapressiated good game.>a link to the pastfirst zelda game that can be played without a guide. going back to a top-down view makes it easier but also kind of necessary to make it puzzle centered again. solid but maybe too easy.>link's awakeningthe best 2d zelda game. good variety, puzzles are fun, exploring the island is fun, combat is not overly easy as alttp.>ocarina of timeoverrated hot garbage. instead of continuing the intuitiveness of alttp and la we go back to having secrets that encourage using a guide to progress, at least is not as bad as zelda 1, but still. side quests are unfun, dungeons are a mixed bag, combat can be frustrating against certain enemies but you have lots of hearts and ways to defend so you are not dying, just getting walled. not a bad game per-se, but not as great as every nintendo fan makes it seem.>majora's maskmost of the same as oot but now on a time limit and on a tight schedule, so you better hurry the fuck up and don't forget to grab a guide because many things are hidden. at least dungeons are more fun this time around and have better ways to deal with annoying enemies. its good and bad qualities leave the score the same as oot.>oracleshaven't played them.1/2
>>12708242>wind wakerthis is more or less what oot should have been in terms of mechanics. everything is more polished and feels better to perform. dungeons are fun even if maybe too easy. its only blemish is the overworld being a big and vast nothing. good game.>minish capoverhated. it's a nice entry but too easy. can't remember it being too short, but it certainly isn't long, maybe because it's a portable game they didn't want to make it longer, idk. it's up there with alttp in terms of quality and polish.>twilight pricessthis is what oot wishes it was. maybe too easy? but at this point with every new game they become easier and easier. dungeons are generally fun and puzzles get harder as the game progresses. combat gained some needed dept, even if enemies die too fast to take much advantage of the new techs. great game and my favorite 3d zelda.2/2
Every Zelda before Wind Waker is good. Wind Waker was the first bad one. A few since then have been good, mostly bad.>>12708197It's something some autist is trying to force lately
