Favourite Zelda Game

Ocarina of Time hands down is the best. No other Zelda game sparked such a big reaction in the fan base. And it was the first lock-on game system setup.

Also named the best game in the world

I find it kind of interesting, in the OOT vs MM topic, MM is ahead. But in this topic, OOT is way ahead of every game.

I'm torn between Twilight Princess and OoT. But I decided to go with Twilight Princess...

My profile should say it, but to save you time, I'll say that I dont really have a favorite Zelda game, due solely to the fact that the series has too many games and have gone for so long by the same general formula that's shown to still be pretty successful to this day. As far as refinement goes, TP, though the least innovative, is from a technical point of view, the most refined, polished, and presentationally powerful Zelda to date with the most expressive characters and one of the more heavily executed plots. From an innovative point of view, OOT brought the series into 3D, but that would've been done eventually anyway--not to say it's a fact to be overlooked just for the sake of that, but the real fact is that it's more of an evolutionary step than anything else. I'd have to say MM is probably the most unique LoZ amongst at least the 3D Zeldas; the only other major game to have anywhere as close a focus on the supporting cast after it was TP, and that game involved the supporting cast in the main plot more than for the sake of sidequests to benefit the main plot as was the case with MM. PH probably had some of my favorite characterization with the likes of Linebeck and how they dealt with him as a semi-sidekick and the relation between he and Link was a good one IMO.

While I don't have a favorite, I try to see what the most major ones have the best of. ALTTP for example, was the first to truly delve into the plot of the series, LA was the first to give Link a truly deep connection to a character in the supporting cast, and WW was the first to have Link become a much more expressive, personable character, which was emphasized even further in TP (hence why TP Link is probably my favorite Link). From a plot-based point of view, these qualities among others are what made the games unique in their own rights.

Twilight Princess! Kudos to its awesome graphics. No contest on it. It's the only game that looks like that, right? And I'm hoping for a new one like it! On Wii, I hope.

twillight princess.good graphics.nice music.

Oot was definitely one of the best games ever to be released in the history of video games

I loved Wind Waker for it's graphics, gameplay, and storyline.

But Oot was okay too!

Nearly every game has something good to be said about it.

- The first few games set up the series and introduced most of the main chracters.
- Ocarina of Time had great graphics, music, gameplay, story, and was very well-received
- Majora's Mask was very much like OoT.
- Wind Waker had a new interesting graphics scheme and the Great Sea and boat travel was fun too.
- Twilight Princess had amazing graphics and gameplay as well as a story comparable to Ocarina of Time in magnitude.
- The GBC/GBA games were simply fun to play.

Having said that, however, I'd have to say that Ocarina of Time is my favorite game of the series (and favorite game period). It was the second or third game I got for my N64 and has been my favorite since. I've played pretty much every other Zelda game since then (except maybe the very obscure ones such as the one for Virtual Boy) and none have captured me as much. Don't get me wrong, almost all the other games are also amazing, but OoT takes the cake in my book.

that would beocarina of time!!!!!!!!!!

You know, OoT was my personal favorite.

But TP was a serious happy moment in my life.
...I was seeing the Link I've always thought he was. Graphic and AWESOME!!!

The only thing about WW, was I am not a HUGE fan of Toon Link... Or Tetra...

MAJORA'S MASK!!!!!!

I've forgotten about A Link to the Past... That was epic!
