      Despite being born in the early 90's, Twilight Princess was actually my first forray into playing any Zelda game. It has since been my absolute favorite zelda game, even moreso than even Breath of the Wild. Because in my opinion Twilight Princess has by far the best story in the franchise, only rivaled by the lore revelations at the end of Skyward Sword. That said, I acknowledge the downfalls of the game so I completely agree with Wood's placement of it as only being S tier.

      I really loved Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks too! Growing up I couldn't play the 3D Zelda games on TV consoles. I had a coordination problem that was helped if I could see my hands in my peripheral vision, so the GameBoy games I could play and love, but I could only watch my siblings play Ocarina of Time, Windwaker, etc. When I was in my twenties, I received a second hand DS lite and Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. For the first time ever, I was able to play in an expansive, 3D adventure too. It was so thrilling! Sometimes I wonder if people's experience of Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks differs because of what games they played before those two titles and were able to compare them to. Comparing Phantom Hourglass to Windwaker versus comparing it to the Minish Cap and Oracles games probably gives one a very different perspective.

    Windwaker definitely deserves to be in one of the S tiers, It is my favourite game too and the music, dungeons and story in this are amazing. Whenever I go to my dads house I always load it up on his Wii and sit there for hours on it. Honestly I think windwaker has aged amazingly as even looking at it now compared to our latest Zelda games it isn't grainy or anything, just colourful and fun.

    I probably had the most immersive fun on a handheld device with phantom hourglass when it comes to zelda. All the others i’d put down for a week maybe only to pick them up and wander round aimlessly trying to figure out what i was last doing 😅 phantom hourglass was simple fun that let you draw on the map to keep track of what or where you were last thinking of and that really helped to pick it back up at any given time 👌

      Yeah, same. And the whole “what if Z2 had been the first game?” argument - Hollow Knight devs said they took inspiration from Z2. I think you can see it in the combat. So there were definitely great ideas to come out of this game.
      I’m not saying I wanted it to be the Zelda template, but it’s cool to series try bold new directions. It wasn’t just a lame attempt to cash in on Mario-style like this guy seems to think. Not the best in the series, but in no way a F tier game. I’d give it a solid B.

    Zelda 2 is severely underrated and actually is the blueprint for the modern games. Open world, towns, with NPCs, multiple quest, and somewhat strategic combat with the use of spells. Just because its a side scroller doesn't make it a black sheep. Once you get past the initial grind and beginning the game gets better and you can actually see how it influenced the other games.
