We actually had the Barcode Battler growing up - though I didn't know there was a Zelda set in Japan! Most of the fun of it was that ANY barcode worked as long as you could swipe it through the scanner. Fruit Loops vs Cheerios? Cookies vs a bag of chips? Barbie vs Hot Wheels? All doable! The packaging for everything else we received that Christmas morning didn't see it coming.
I think the tingle games are fascinating. They take all the weirdest parts of zelda and mash them with Mother's 3 writing and world design. Massive respect for nintendo for never being afraid to be as weird as they are.
Hi, owner of the zelda wrist watch here It's, uh, not the best. My watch is kinda busted slightly but even if it wasn't, it'd be like a 4/10 experience at best. The original Zelda G&W slader tho, how dare you good sir. It's fun! :p Edit: I also own an unopened zelda barcode battler lol.
Link's Crossbow Training was surprisingly fun game and imo best "Duck Hunt" successors that Nintendo has done imo. Me and one of my friend used to try get beat our high scores few years. :D
Amazing video! really well paced and facsniating. I am a massive zelda fan and i knew all of theses except for Zelda's adventure but was enratptured none the less. I assume it was way to late to comment on it but the bit in that section where you were talking about how much people want a game where yopu play as zelda is very funny given recent news.
the BS zelda games aren’t really spin-offs, third quest and fourth quest are like remixes almost and ancient stone tablets I would even consider them “mainline” games before I call them spin-offs. Also tetra trackers is not it’s own game, it’s on the Japanese flour swords adventures disc, that’s like calling master mode a “spinoff game”
I don't know that I'd consider them mainline, as they canonically star the Satellaview mascot characters instead of Link, but they ARE games that everyone should play.
Next maybe a look at ever Mario, Pokémon or other game spin off or at all Nintendo cameos or AR every kind of Mario coin? Maybe a look at comics, manga and cartoons? Or adds.
Wait. You're complimenting the gameplay of the original Hyrule Warriors. So that whole issue of telling the characters you aren't controlling where to go, only for them to walk in the opposite direction and staying there isn't a thing for other people? Wtf. ... Having to scroll through that endlessly long list of items whenever you have to switch to another one is also quite frustrating. Especially when you need to switch every five seconds while on a restrictive timer. (Hello, final level of the Wind Waker arc. I'm still not over you.) I like that game. But you can definitely tell that the developers had a couple more years of experience when making AoC.
I think the Sonic Lost World Hyrule DLC deserves an honorable mention here. Although it's not a Zelda game it does have Sonic traveling to Hyrule where he does meet Link. I've found that not a lot of people actually know that this crossover exists.
@@StabilizeYTwell it would seem the algo is taking an interest as you were in my recommendations this morning, which is great. To be fair your channel is right in my wheelhouse, but still. Easy sub.
Can't believe this only has 12k views a week after it was posted, this video was great and told me about a ton of games I had no idea existed, great video!
I have watched let's plays of these two Tingle games and of course they have their flaws but they also have a certain charme and I will always fondly remember them. I think the boss fight in Tingle's Rosey-Rupee Land is pretty darn funny and I like the story and characters in Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love.
If you like Hyrule Warriors, its definitely worth playing the Switch version. All the dlc, plus all the stuff added for the portable version. New charcters, maps, story levels, etc, its great! Im nowhere near 100%, but regularly pick it up and play for a bit. Best way to play that game, again, if you like the gameplay style
80s/90s kid here. The Game & Watch and LCD Watch games weren't great, even back then.Given a choice, I'd probably have just brought the manual along to read it.
I would only count Nintendo and cdi games, not fan games. No hacks or mods either. Only real games made by paid labor for products Nintendo can't take to court.
You could actually scan different bar codes off of different things, not just the carss.. i had a barcode battler. Got it as a Christmas gift from my uncle..
Whenever I see the CD-i I just get nostalgic for the TH-cam poop era xD "Mah boi, this peace is what all true warriors strrrrive for." "My ship sails in the morning." "Oh boy! I'm so hungry, I could eat an octorock!" "You've got to be kidding." "You dare bring light to my lair? YOU MUST DIE!" "Mmm. Lamp oil, ropes, bombs. You want it? It's yours, my friend; as long as you have enough rubies." Brb, going to go look up some YTPs
Fantastic overview video. I can proudly say, that I own every single one of these games and the systems required to play them. The only exceptions are the Satellaview games. Also, I had to use unofficial means to get the ‘too much tingle pack’ running on my non-japanese DSi. I can’t be bothered with generic Zelda merchandise, art books, special editions. For me, everything that counts is having a playable version of EVERY Zelda game, including spin-offs. I also have beaten most of them by this point. Still working on 100%ing the Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition, and at some point, I will need to take some time to learn properly how the Barcode Battler works, and how I can ‘beat’ the Zelda deck of cards. Some others I like to include in my count of spin-offs are the two Nintendo Adventure Books that feature the Legend of Zelda. Sure, they are not video games but some kind of game nevertheless. Finally, I would really love the get my hands on the Zelda board games by Milton Bradley (1988) and Bandai (1986). Maybe one day…
We had the Game Watch growing up. *Takes Geritol* It was actually pretty cool. We also had the hand held Aladdin and Lion King. Of COURSE the controls were shit. Did we care? Nope. Now, get off my lawn, you whippersnappers.
This was refreshing. Didn’t know about Nintendo cutting ties with Philips, then Philips putting out those horrific discs called games. Thought they still had a partnership when those were released. Let Nintendo be Nintendo. Peace!-)
The only version of the original Hyrule Warriors I have is the 3DS one, Legends, and to be honest I did once consider picking up the Wii U version long ago, but after looking into it I learned just how comparatively barebones the Wii U version was compared to Legends that I lost all interest in the Wii U version as better graphics and animations wasn't worth how little there was to do in it and how many fewer characters there were unless I wanted to pay extra for DLC in order to get them. Later on, of course the Switch version was announced some years later, but by that point I had gotten so far into Legends and still had more to do with the adventure maps that I decided to pass on the Switch port, also because the Switch version also lacked the really neat My Fairy feature that was a part of Legends that made the game flow a bit better I felt.
@43:52 Uhh bro age of calamity IS cannon according to the devs of zelda! regardless of how the gameplay says otherwise if the offical zelda team says its cannon. you can't just ignore that man! the other Hyrule warriors sure but not AOC. give it the justice it deserves smh.
i remember playing bs the legend of zelda ancient stone tablets one time on accident, as a kid i got like those game consoles that where pirated hardware and one of those games was that one i played and suddenly when i was like 16 i remember that weird game i tried to play as a kid since i did just beat the legend of zelda a link to the past i search high and low for it until i found it and with my limited at the time english just played the absolute crap out of the game is pretty good not as good as a link to the past, but still a fun game
I've thought about making a video like this myself! I'm actually impressed at the thoroughness of this video! I was sure some of the more obscure stuff like the Game Watch and Barcade Battler would be absent, so props for including them! I'm not actually through with the video yet, so I could be wrong, but it does look like you've missed at least 1 game, The Legend of Zelda Battle Quest, a game from Nintendoland on Wii U, though I suppose you could argue it doesn't count since it's not a stand-alone game.
Thats a mainline game. Same with the four swords stuff. It having the traditional top down gameplay and that its on the timeline aside. If it has The Legend of Zelda in its title, its a mainline game.
@@UltraIceMan275I'm gonna be honest, if someone is crazy enough to investigate about Zelda barcodes from 34 years ago, they are probably way in too deep to not know about new releases
14:30 Adding a little info to that: Sony found out that Nintendo was working with Philips at the 1991 CES when, while they were in the showfloor, Nintendo announced to the world that Philips was creating a CD addon for the SNES. Sony unveiled their SNES CD addon the day before, at the same showfloor, and now they were watching Nintendo shove all their work to the side. It's not just that Sony and Nintendo didn't see eye-to-eye... Nintendo wanted to join forces with Philips just to say F-you to Sony and nothing more.
Crazy how you mentioned playing as zelda the day a game where you play as zelda would be announced
Hi, old man here. I had the Zelda Game and Watch handheld when I was a kid, and I played the heck out of it. I loved that thing.
We actually had the Barcode Battler growing up - though I didn't know there was a Zelda set in Japan!

What!! That makes it SO much cooler! I am now so jealous of Froot Loop battles
We unironically need Tingle back in the franchise. The Western market had no taste for hating him back then.
I think the tingle games are fascinating. They take all the weirdest parts of zelda and mash them with Mother's 3 writing and world design. Massive respect for nintendo for never being afraid to be as weird as they are.
Hi, owner of the zelda wrist watch here
It's, uh, not the best. My watch is kinda busted slightly but even if it wasn't, it'd be like a 4/10 experience at best.
The original Zelda G&W slader tho, how dare you good sir. It's fun! :p
Edit: I also own an unopened zelda barcode battler lol.
Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland is unironically an excellent and very charming game.
You didn’t mention The legend of Zelda: Battle quest
Link's Crossbow Training was surprisingly fun game and imo best "Duck Hunt" successors that Nintendo has done imo. Me and one of my friend used to try get beat our high scores few years. :D
17:05 oops, looks like someone couldn't change the script in time
fr
Or they were well aware and just wanted to comment farm.
i dont know what it says about me that i not only knew about every game but have watched most of these being played throughout the week
I was shocked you didn't even have 10,000 subscribers yet. Well, I'm now one of them.
Been waiting on this one…..
Great work as always!

I subbed cuz u asked so nicely. Very cool take on the zelda multi-verse. Thanks
Great video liked and subscribed
Well, if it wasn't for faces of evil we would never have morshu beatboxing, so I guess we can take something good out of this

🎉 that Dark world theme🎉
I am a sssimple sssnek. I sssee “Oah hah hah hah hah hah Mah Boi, Dinner” man, I clicc.
Next maybe a look at ever Mario, Pokémon or other game spin off or at all Nintendo cameos or AR every kind of Mario coin? Maybe a look at comics, manga and cartoons? Or adds.
Don't forget about the board games! Bandai Japan had a 1986 game, and Milton Bradley had a 1988 game!
I actually really liked the TP Picross Game on 3DS :(
Nintendolands had also an Zelda-game. Deserves at least an honorable mention.
Nice so many details !!!!
Underrated channel!

Zelda Picross is actually from 2016.
We get to play as Zelda in Wand of Gamelon which people still asking for to this day in a mainline game. Ignores Spirit Tracks and Echoes of Wisdom
So remasters and remakes are also spinoffs?
but what time line are these all on???
They're on the timeline where Link never woke the Windfish, and stayed asleep forever.
Not gonna lie. I would love that to be canon.
Missing two games, but close.
I was the one who originally got a lot of the information on these games.
Good Video.
Really cruel with that ancient stone tablets thumbnail in the vid
Im sorry but the cdi games were so bad there good situation for me
I think the Sonic Lost World Hyrule DLC deserves an honorable mention here. Although it's not a Zelda game it does have Sonic traveling to Hyrule where he does meet Link. I've found that not a lot of people actually know that this crossover exists.
I will check that out

I did not expect Bar Code Battler.
Ripened Tingle's Baloon Trip of Love is one of my favorite Zelda games, it's so wacky and I absolutely love wacky.

The inclusion of King Harkinian from the CD-i games in the thumbnail earned you a watch, like, and subscribe from me. L😂L
Dude I laughed way to hard at the tingle part loved the video
We are still working on Tetra's Trackers, the GBA texts will be ready in a few weeks.
But thanks for mentioning it, it's an unusual zelda game.😆
Thanks for your work and helping to make this video possible!

Picross 2016
Holy shit hes alive
He's been working on this video so hard that he didn't see that There's a new Legend of Zelda game, the Legend of Link
Bought picross right before the eshop was killed. I had the points so I figured I might as well get it
Thumbnail on point!
Isn't Zelda like... the main protagonist ?!!?!§,sdqdAdmsf
now imagen if all these games were on the official Zelda timeline
Mario may have ten times the number of spin-off games.
This channel is a go-to for information. It's the best!
WHO THINKS TINGLE SHOULD BE ADDED TO SMASH?
I want to play the cadance game so much!
no echoes?
Tingle is like the Wario of Zelda.
17:04 it's now finally happening
35:34 WHY IS THERE NO TEXT?

The CDi games recently ended up getting a spiritual successor called: Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore. And it's actually really good.
3:08 imagine insulting the gameboy that badly
Did he mean to leave out Triforce Heroes?
Thats a mainline game. Same with the four swords stuff. It having the traditional top down gameplay and that its on the timeline aside. If it has The Legend of Zelda in its title, its a mainline game.
