Legend of Zelda Discussion Thread

I'd have to say Twlight Princess takes it for my all time favorite Zelda title.

I've played Zelda and Zelda 2, Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, TP, Wind Waker and Skyward Sword most recently. OoT holds a special place in my heart as being the game that got me back into the series, and I had a blast with WW and its style change, but TP introduced Midna and the whole Twilight Realm mythos. Sure there were a few thing irritations along the way, but I definitely had the best time with TP, hands down.

 

Ocarina of Time, by far--cleared that game more times than I can count

 

To be honest, I haven't played much LoZ games, and I haven't finished any.. The ones I've played for a littkle abit are Phantom Hourglass, Majora's mask and a tiny bit of Spirit Tracks. I'm quite far in OoT, I'm at the Water Temple at the moment. I think that's my favourite so far.

 

Link is in the description

 

Majora's Mask. That imagery, the whole concept, the amazingly strange final boss fight. Being a big fan of Ocarina of Time as a kid back when it came out, I was super hyped when I heard about 'Zelda Gaiden' coming out, pouring over oldschool internet video game rumor sites and magazines. I don't think I've ever been so hyped for a video game before or since, and when I finally did get Majora's Mask and play it didn't disappoint me at all. The game seems short, but it's actually quite large and deep if you go and try to fill up your Bombers Notebook completely, and get every mask. There's a lot of content there, little side things that you can manipulate, you're just forced to do it in 3 game-day periods at a time. The whole system worked great.

Favorite part is the little side thing with the aliens/ghosts that come to steal the cows..and Romani, who gets mind-wiped like typical alleged alien abduction victims. The whole thing borrows heavily from UFO and alien culture (cattle mutilation, abduction, Flatwoods Monster) and I thought that was neat. Someone at Nintendo did some research into this kind of thing for certain.

Great Zelda game, 10/10 would play again.

 

Definitely Twilight Princess, I don't actually own it but I borrowed it and it was AWESOME. I've played Ocarina of Time, phantom hourglass, spirit tracks, skyward sword, minish cap, and 4 swords... Twilight Princess just had the best storyline, it was long, I really loved the characters, and going wolf... Its soundtrack was quite memorable as well.

 

If I had to choose I'd probably say Minish Cap. All the games are so different and each hold some value to me. OoT was the first Legend of Zelda game I ever played. Link Between Worlds is the first (and the only) I ever completed. Twilight Princess has the coolest dungeons and some of the best game mechanics (Mortal Draw for the win). I've also played Skyward Sword and Spirit Tracks, which I also enjoy for their individual playstyles.
But Minish Cap is so fun and cute while still being dark. Its play style is so fun and the puzzles are not too challenging but not to easy either. Also the dungeons in the Minish Cap are so fun. The Roc Cape and the Mole Mitts are such fun items to use, and their respective dungeons are some of the best in the game. Unfortunately, I could never beat Vaati, and I played on an emulator, so when my computer crashed last year, I lost all my progress and haven't really gone back to playing it..

 

I absolutely loved Twilight Princess. The story took a long time to play through but it kept my attention the entire time. The gameplay was just as amazing as the other LoZ games. The music was really good too, but I think OoT had better sounds. What made TP my favorite was the character of Midna. She was a character that you wanted to hate and believe that she was evil for quite some time at the beginning. As time went on, you began to see that she wasn't really as bad of a person as she tried to act. I got a lot of emotion out of her story, and when she left in the end I felt heartbroken. It is one of those games that really was quite touching and unforgettable to play.

 

The wind temple in wind waker. God, i got lost in this thing more times than necessary and also having to escort Makar through was a nightmare with how slow and tiny he is. I know I'm probably alone on this and wind waker is my fav game of the series. I wish I could put something else but ive never played Ocarina or Majora

 

Well, you don't actually get the Lens of Truth in the Shadow Temple. You get it in the Kakiriko Village Well. In fact, the Forest, Fire, and Water temple can even be done out of order after you get the bow from the Forest temple.

Anyway, I did the Spirit temple first. I read somewhere that the boss of the Shadow Temple was easier to beat if you had ice arrows, so I went to Gerudo Valley and completed the temple there anyway before attempting the ice arrows. Then I went to the Shadow Temple, got ice arrows, then back to Shadow Temple.

Plus, I tried to put off fighting the Dead Hand as long as possible. *shivers* Dead Hand.

 

I think my favourite song is either the Kokiri forest or the Gerudo Valley theme. There is something calming about the Kokiri Forest, but Gerudo Valley is pretty damn awesome, sort of like the Twilight Princess Hidden Village.

Favourite Song: Song of Storms

 

My favourite boss would be a tie between Koloktos from Skyward Sword and Stallord.
Koloktos was an awesome fight because you used the boss' swords against it. It was fun to turn the boss' strength back on it.
Stallord was fun because it is the one fight that my favourite LoZ item is extremely useful. I loved the Spinner and using it to attack this massive skeleton was quite amazing, because it seemed to do so much damage to the thing. And it is such a surprise when he comes back after you think you've killed him.

I just thought of something. Could Stallord be this guy from Skyward Sword?

Spoiler

 

My favourite dungeon is the Temple of Winds from the Minish Cap. The Roc cape is so fun to use and this place is the best place to use it. I know there have been a lot of dungeons set in the sky in Zelda games before, but this one is my favourite. The boss is pretty cool as well, seeing as how you are on its back during the fight, and you sort of fight two bosses at the same time.

My least favourite is also a sky dungeon, the City in the Sky from Twilight Princess. The miniboss and boss (who I have yet to fight) are pretty damn awesome, and you have seen the boss from the start and can see it while exploring the dungeon. The problem with the dungeon is that it is about as easy to find your way through as the water temple in OoT and the music is just disturbing. If there was a frustrating dungeon with awesome music I'd be happy, but this music sets me on edge. And then there are the Oocoos... I think I've said enough.

 

My favorite is probably Saria's Song. I don't pay much attention to video game music.
