Super good video, switching to shorts?

@RealHud Very Nice Video!!! 👍👍👍

I do have to preface that I grew up with these games and knew them as Zelda was as a series before OoT existed. But I think all three, while not the pinnacle of Zelda, they do represent the core of what Zelda is all about: adventure, fighting monsters, and Link getting stronger throughout. The games are harder than anything that has come out since, and I guess that's a product of the time and not necessarily of what Zelda is about. Most games are made to be easy because most people don't have time to sit around all day getting good at video games. And I can relate. But I did enjoy the challenge of the earliest Zelda games, made completing them more gratifying; even if it took me years to beat each one because I was a little kid who also played outside more than I played video games.

Alttp is timeless

😀 - Nicely done!

Glad you spoke about the use of guides in these games. A guide was NECESSARY and honestly was a form of DLC. Games used to have their play time artificially extended by unreasonable puzzles or cryptic difficulty. Zelda II temple theme is banging too. Good vid!

I AM ERROR.

I played a little of a link to the past on the Snes classic, and i really enjoyed what i played

Super good vid, I haven't played any of the old games but if I do I'll start with a link to the past

Haven't played Zelda 2. Zelda 1 is fun for about 3 hours then it's not and the final boss is bull***t. It's probably the worst Zelda I've played. It aged poorly for the most part. ALTTP is great on so many levels BUT has 2 major flaws (which are basically 1 flaw) that kind of ruin the game for me. The game just sends way too much stuff at you for no reason and it makes most sections of the game tedious. Endless enemies in and outside dungeons and lots of traps/turrets that shoot at you in dungeons. The worst thing about that is that it's not fun navigating the map because of these unnecessary obstacles. It's really really annoying. The combat system is good, but it's not good enough to make me want to constantly be fighting these enemies. If I want endless enemies, I'll play Diablo 2 or something.

first two are aged, and alttp is goated. also zelda 2 is better than the original, because it isnt as cryptic

Oh and being able to skip text AND cutscenes is a total game changer too.

I've come back 2 weeks later to say : Skyward Sword HD is AMAZING!!!!!! I definitely remember how it used to be, the duo joycon is where its at for this game man. All it needed was this. Its great I can't wait to get off Skyloft but man... crazy that for once, motion controls are actually the optimal way to play.

With zelda the answer is always your first one. Not which one.

Totk feels better to me.

me waiting for super mario maker 2

BotW is above Tears for me personally, but you already know that lol

My issue with Wind Waker is the ocean. I love oceans in real world. But replacing Hyrule Fields into flat repetive sea is not a smart move. If anything, it feels like a compromise to connect disconnected levels together. I feel that Zelda -games should have optional ocean though, that player could find, but not required to do anything with it.

I respect and appreciate Wind Waker's strengths, but it is my least favorite 3D Zelda.

Windbombs > all of totk

07. Breath Of The Wild: The one where the ambition is appreciated, but things are getting too big and becomes daunting to replay. 06. Tears Of The Kingdom: The one that's even bigger (somehow), but it is still objectively an improvement over the former. 05. Majora's Mask: The weird one you need to be in the mood to play, that focused less on dungeons, and more on the characters and side activities. 04. Skyward Sword: The one that attempted to simulate actual sword fighting, and turned exploration into mini dungeons, also gifting us an excellent new villain in the form of the flamboyant Ghirahim. 03. Wind Waker: The one that everyone sighed over because sailing was boring, but then years later praise BOTW for adding countless hours of exploring vast empty spaces, while somehow ignoring the charming art style and characters until it became cool to do so again. 02. Ocarina Of Time: The absolute classic that sent gamers on a true journey and showed just how impressive old games can be when they still manage to outshine 90 percent of the cash grab swill that modern games push out regularly. 01. Twilight Princess: The best one that was genuinely dark in both tone and story, gave us the best dungeons overall in any zelda game, as well as the best companion in Midna, and the best villain since Ganondorf with Zant.

Lol nice video bro

I loved it on release

Good list! I specifically like your rating of Wind Waker, the most overrated video game of all time imo. ;)

I agree with all of these. Midna is best companion btw, though I think Fi deserves more love. The dungeons are most definitely lacking. For example, in my playthrough of Tears Of The Kingdom, I chose to do every single shrine before tackling any of the four main dungeons...because I'm weird like that. And let me tell ya, having a full stamina gauge absolutely breaks the Fire Temple! There's this whole mine cart gimmick as a means of traversal, but who needs that when I can just skip everything by climbing? Don't even get me started on the Water Temple...they tried harder with literally every other shrine! They also removed collecting a map and compass from the dungeons, which is frankly criminal! How do I know I collected every chest when there's no way to check them off? That was part of the fun of older Zelda dungeons, and in some cases, going out of your way for optional chests led to other sections of the dungeon. Doesn't matter though cause it's gone now. I also agree about items. Another big part of what made those dungeons fun was beating the mini boss and getting a brand new item. It was always interesting to see how the dungeon would utilize said item as a means of progression. Too bad, cause that's gone as well! I understand Zelda had to go in the open world direction at some point because so many people like those types of games, but now that everyone has gotten it out of their system, I'd like to see Zelda return to the formula that made me fall in love in the first place. Besides, Tears Of The Kingdom took Link below ground and into the sky. Where's left to go at this point? Link in space!? I say it's time to dial things back a bit...

Imo, the fandom is completely split down the middle between two groups. One side dislikes the new sandbox/ open-world Zelda and prefers the more linear story progression, whereas one side loves and embraces the new iteration of the saga. One thing I really hate about all this is that the ones that love BOTW and TOTK often despise those that that prefer the older style Zelda games when they (The ones that prefer the older style) have legitimate criticisms of BOTW and TOTK.

Finally, someone with good taste

I think you haven't played this game on the Wii, as Fi is much more annoying than on the Switch to the point where it's a real problem. It was most people's criticism at launch, and yeah motion controls were divisive to say the least but even then they weren't really that bad

While I still prefer mostly all other Zelda games, I do love Skyward Sword. I think that's mostly because I've only played the switch port. I think it gets a lot of hate due to the motion controls

This is the Zelda game that I grew up on and replayed countless times. My dad, who got me into Zelda, was the same but for Twilight princess. Im also a huge lore guy so finding out that demise was the start of the whole curse that plays out through the series blew my mind. I cannot put into words how amazing I felt when I heard the master sword in TOTK make the same noises Fi makes as it communicates with Zelda. It actually made my eyes water bc I was so happy. I loved every single part of this game and it is defiantly over hated.

Skyward Sword is absolutely amazing! The Imprisoned One is annoying though....

Squidward sword love giving me life

Skyward Sword is so great! Almost better than the masterpiece that is Majora's Mask (as you would agree).

Wait how have I missed that you've been making videos!! nice werk

I love this game and i atill get a lot of hate in personal life when I say that skyward sword is better imo

Twilight Princess imo is the best Zelda game oat (of all time)

I played it first time on switch and while I understand why many would have their judgement clouded by the Wii version, the game is SO GOOD! Some of the best elements of Zelda games, one of the best stories, side quests, dungeons, characters and bosses. 3rd fav Zelda behind TOTK and OoT

The final fight at the end with Ghirahim and Demise was one of the best in the whole series. Impa and Fi are some of the most important characters of all time and it arguably has the best version of Zelda. The relationship between Link and Zelda make it a lot more meaningful and I also think it has some of the best dungeons and music in the whole series. It doesn’t feel like a traditional Zelda game because instead of riding around on a horse you are riding around on a loft wing while living up in the sky. Collecting treasure was also really fun in this game and I particularly enjoyed visiting places such as Bamboo Island, Fun Fun Island, Pumpkin Patch Landing, and Thrill Digger. The Silent Realms were also pretty interesting and fun to speed run through. Overall I had a really good experience with Skyward Sword and I think more people should give it a chance especially because of the dungeons, music, characters, and story.

Didn't care for Girahim at all but Demise bro, THAT guy might honestly surpass Ganondorf as a threat for me. He steals the show it's too bad he's only around for one game, definitely a guy who is scary but you definitely respect the guy.

My opinions on it since it originally released haven't changed at all. It's definitely not bad or even my least favorite Zelda. My main gripe is definitely the motion controls. And hey, Twilight Princess on the Wii and Metroid Prime Trilogy are similarly plauged with them too so it's not an isolated incident with just SS. Anyway, the motion controls just aren't fun for me, just unresponsive and shoved in everywhere. Say what you will about older Zelda Z targeting combat but it was always engaging compared to this where it just feels gimmicky. Haven't played the Switch version yet though so who knows maybe it's better. I'm open minded about it. But on all other points i agree. Music, atmosphere, world building, dungeon design, yeah. I'd definitely say it's better than BotW and TotK from a fun factor.

I love skiward swan

NOT EVEN JOKING, I JUST BEAT THE GAME A FEW HOURS AGO AFTER MONTHS OF PLAYING IT. the timing is crazy 😭 but yes IT IS SO UNDERRATED! the story is just SO GOOD!

Been waiting for this one. Still playing through it again
