Since I have found no topics for this series, (I'm suprised a bit actually) I decided to make a topic about the Legend of Zelda. Not to sure if this is going to be popular, or even responded, but I thought it deserved a topic of its own. You may talk about the games, memories, and the like.
Thanks for listening to me babble on and go right ahead! ;D

Might be a good idea for the topic starter to give some kind of start point for a discussion, otherwise this is going nowhere.

I always loved the legend of zelda, the first one I played was Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. That sure had some good memories... :3
-
The best LOZ game imo is definitely Links Awakening/Four Sword for the GBA. Yes, I recognize it was originally on the SNES, but the GBA version had multiplayer, and the hurricane spin.
Also, there is a Legend of Zelda forum...though it is kinda...'different'....
...
here, let me link you to it

Yeah, good luck reading that.
-
Oh yeah, I still need to read that... >.>!
-
I am currently playing Twilight Princess for Wii.
-
So am I... :3!
Well... My friend is saving my game on her Wii... >.>

I found that Twilight princess was overrated for what everyone says it is. Don't get me wrong, its a good game, I beat it 6 times, its just not as good as the N64 versions in my opinion.
I'm even one of the people who like Majora's Mask more than Ocarina of Time.
-
I have been a huge LoZ fan for a long time. I started with the Ocarina of Time on the N64 and then went on to play Majora's Mask (my favorite) and then Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. I also played a couple of the handheld titles: Minish Cap, Phantom Hourglass. I also have A Link to the Past on the Virtual Console for my Wii.
I honestly think that TP was not as strong as its predecessors. I didnt dislike it at all, I just thought it wasn't as good.
The new one that was announced at E3 the other day (Skyward Sword) doesn't really catch my interest all that much. I think it looks cliche with a lot of gimmicky weapons the way the recent handheld titles had. I might just have some major nostalgia goggles but I'm way more excited about the re-release of Ocarina of Time on the 3DS than I am about the new console Zelda.

time for a new zelda game, looks like a cross between twilight princess and windwaker, not sure if this is good or bad yet, I guess we'll have to see
-
I've always been a huge fan of the LoZ series; ever since the first game and continuing on up until the latest game. I'm actually considering buying a Wii for Skyward Sword. (Not the only reason, but a big one mind you.) I own near all of them, except for Twilight Princess on the Wii, but I have it on the Gamecube. Better there, if you ask me, as Link is left handed in that version.

Oh Mr_Dark your so helpful. :D
@Tealize: Yeah I agree Skyward Sword seems ok (the graphics are unique and pretty!) there was nothing to grasp on yet, but I'm sure it will be good, after all, how can their be a bad zelda game?
I remember playing Ocarina of Time, my favorite zelda game yet. I would stay up for hours playing it. It was a new thing at the time and I'm still amazed at the detail and length of the game. For those who played Majoras Mask, is it good and what is it about?

Majora's Mask is my personal favorite. It's a lot more dark themed than Ocarina of Time as it deals a lot with death and destruction of this place called Termina (which Link stumbled into when he was chasing the Skull Kid (main antagonist) who stole his horse). The Skull Kid changes Link into a Deku Scrub and leaves him alone inside a clocktower with this creepy Mask Salesman. The salesman tells you that if you can get back the mask that the Skull Kid was wearing, he will help you change back into a kid.
That's the intro anyway. The game itself has you on a 72-hour time limit (3 in-game days) which you can reset at anytime by playing the Song of Time (you can also slow down time, effectively doubling it, by playing a secret song). There are four temples in all, each having its own theme. You can change into a total of 4 characters-- deku, zora, goron and another secret one --each with their own abilities. NPCs will react to you differently depending on which form you take as well. Also, there are 20 extra masks you can collect by completing side quests involving the NPCs lives. The side quests are actually my favorite part as they go into such detail on the lives and labors of these people who haveu to relive everything every three days, over and over again until you come along and save them.
Anyway, sorry it got kind of long, but I hope you get the general idea of what this epic game is about. It is DEFINITELY worth a play-through (or two :D).
Let me know if you do decide to play it! It's an absolutely enthralling game :)
-
So far, I've played Minish Cap on GBA, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks... I loved them all!
The only problems are the little things spread around the regions that you have to collect..
-
My favorites are Links Awakening and Ocarina of Time. After that I really got hooked on Zelda and the main reason I bought a Wii, for Twilight Princess.
Although Twilight Princess let me down (compared to OOT), Nintendo made me a happy panda by announcing a new Zelda game for Wii (Skyward Sword) on the E3.

Good thing about the Wii is that you can play OOT, TW and SS (Skyward Sword, the new game) on it :D that's 3 Zelda games on 1 console

That sounds nice, I might give it a try. Is it a sequel to OoT? Or a stand alone game?
Also, is it just me or is the Legend of Zelda time line confusing?
-

LoZ doesn't really have a timeline. But some fans made one http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline
The Timeline dictates the order of canonical games in the Legend of Zelda series. Its precise chronology of events is not confirmed and is hotly debated among fans. There are bits and pieces of definitive information to connect certain games to each other, but there is no definitive explanation for how every game relates to each other in a standardized timeline of events.

Yes, it is a direct sequel to OoT, but it takes place in an alternate universe (Termina). The timeline has been the subject of much debate for a long time :P There's no real canon timeline, just what you think is true :)
-
Wow, I'm suprised Zelda fans could piece this all together trying to make a timeline, I never knew it was so complicated O_o.
-
I could never really get into Zelda....the way I saw it way back when was that you were either into Zelda or Final Fantasy, action or strategy.
-
i played every zelda and every final fantasy game... love them both
-
I have beat/started to play everygame that included Link or Zelda... :3
Well... Not all~ of them. but most. They were really good! But I still didn't understand the entire time travelling thing...

What time traveling thing? (which game are you talking about)
-
Like Majoras Mask,
They said Link went into the future from the past back into the past, or something, so he is... Before? OoT, but I wouldn't understand that because he had Epona... Bleh~... :p
-
I love all of the zelda games aside from the first 2, my favorites are Twilight Princess and Ocarina of time. i cant decide between the two
-
I like zelda, but i've never been able to beat a single game, until recently when I finally managed to beat LoZ: Links awakening DX. I was so happy at that time.
-

Oh yeah, it's the OoT Link as a kid. When you beat OoT, he's an adult right? They put him back in the past so he can live those seven years that he lost before. So that's the "time travel" thing they talk about. Just think of it as Kid Link from OoT.
-
Ooooh~... Thank you very much for letting me understand... :3
-
Well I never played any Zelda games, but I play as Link or Toon link on Brawl, but i guess that doesn't count. But I might pick up a Zelda game in the future
-
OH MAH GOSHHH!! The Zelda series is AMAZINGG!!! Ive played and beaten every zelda game created. NES, N64, Wii, GC, GBA, GBC, etc. I LOVE IT :D You should play Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask on the N64
-

Its a great series and its a good time to start playing them because you can get quite a few with the Wii, you can get OoT, Twilight Princess, the first two zeldas, and the upcoming Zelda game all on one system. (Like Mr_Dark said) I REALLY recommend it if you want to try it out.
Also, nice job Azrial! Thats quite an accomplishment to do such a thing! (Considering the length and sheer number of games their on on a multitude of consoles)
-
I think I will get a Zelda Game in the future
-
you gotta love The Legend of Zelda for SNES one of my favs
-
It's a legendary series, that's for sure. Loved OoT way back and thought TP was even better to be honest. Extremely disappointed that SS is taking the graphical turn back to cel shading, but I'm hoping I'll get over it pretty soon. Guess I'm just upset that Metroid is the only epic series Nintendo seems to have as far as first impressions go.

I am sorry but I doubt you have beaten every game created. The phillips Cd-i (which was a totally bombshell with absolutely horribly games) had 3 Legend of Zelda games: Link-Faces of Evil, Zelda-Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure. Granted these games are pretty much non existent to the world so it is forgivable not to count them.
Also though you don't mention you have played any Gameboy (not advanced) games of zelda. That leaves out oracle of seasons, oracle of age, and Links awakening.
Assuming that you have played these and their was a typo I must say I congratulate you man, I am not trying to be a dick here. I played Legend of Zelda 2 (Adventure of Link) for the NES. That game is fricken hard. I couldn't get past death mountain as a kid. (haven't played since then) So you having beat the game shows great skill.
My personal favorite legend of zelda game has to be A link to the past. I prefer the old school games, but I like it classic so for me I prefer it on the SNES rather than GBA of Wii (if its on wii).
As a kid I would play this game at my babysitters and I loved this game, I played it as often as I could as a kid. Now I own the game and I play it all the time. I think I am in the double digits of times beating this game.
Tl;dr:
Their are a lot of games people haven't mentioned in the Legend of Zelda series. I think Azrial has crazy skill at video games. Legend of Zelda A link to the past is my favorite game.
