- Remind me to never do a countdown again.
After waiting for 4 years, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is finally here! In honor of this momentous occasion, I've decided to rank the 5 games that have left such a huge impact on my life over the years, and determining once and for all which Zelda reigns supreme. Enjoy this countdown 5 years in the making! - บันเทิง
Why have so many people just randomly got this recommended this now?

krishnugget I honestly thought it was just me.
Yup
Same reason that I get it now
Bruh, try March
Honestly, Nintendo has always listened to the fans when it comes to Zelda.
Zelda II wasn’t praised like Zelda I, so Zelda III (or Link to the Past) is basically a return to form.
Since people wanted Ocarina of Time 2 (and the backlash against WW’s style), they made Twilight Princess (and with a more realistic style).
EVERYONE complained about the linearity of Skyward Sword, so they made Breath of the Wild an open-world sand box.
Exactly. Nintendo listen to fans more than they are given credit for. I feel fans tend to overlook that and all it does is just make the fanbase look entitled. Besides, not every fan idea will work as well as they think, or are even good.
holy shit

But even still, I'm focusing on Zelda right now since, unfortunately, each Nintendo franchise has had a different treatment.

You mean the correct type

@@colby7703 I think it's great, but the story and characters aren't that great.
I mean PBG’s two favorite Zelda games are Majora’s Mask and Wind Waker.
I can’t believe he forgot Link’s Crossbow Training.
Also, how dare he call Skyward Sword’s Zelda the best when Spirit Tracks exists.
Agreed
truth
For me playing skyward sword is Like throwing Up ever and ever again, sry ist my opinion and im a really big Zelda Fan since i was 3-4
*_GOT DEM TRAINS, CHOO CHOO!_*
SS Zelda is a bitch, a pussy, and a crybaby. I stan stoic Zelda.
I once fought the Imprisoned, smacked his toes off, and he fell backwards with his head clipped through the wall. Obviously I couldn’t hit his weak point, so I waited for the insane amount of time the developers set before he decided to get back up, and start walking... In place. So he was invincible.
You know, from a certain point of view, the Imprisoned really does its job of being the manifestation of all evil if you hate it that much.
oh shut up obi-wan 💀
Regardless of the games themselves, the twilight princess link has remained my favourite link for a long time.
He’s the most knightly. He relies less on magic and more on his physical prowess and skills. He just feels like a definitive Knight.
And Midna is best waifu
I wish I could say the same about the Zelda in that game. Midna overshadowed her by FAR. Maybe even link himself
Yeah. Although I like Wind Waker Link's "expressions" better, TP's Link is the one incarnation I love the best. He is the "Big Brother" to all the children in the village, considering how much they want to hang around him all the time.
Yeah
Twilight Princess is SO underrated, it's arguably one of the most cinematic Zelda games out there.
OoT fans when you don’t rank OoT at number 1 because it’s the “best game ever” even though way better games exist such as basically any Rockstar GTA from the HD era, both Red Dead Redemptions, and Fallout: New Vegas, etc, not to mention Twilight Princess and Majora’s Mask are still better.
@@AlqhemyA saying GTA is better than OoT is definitely…a take
@@AlqhemyA bro, the original comment says that Twilight Princess is the best, what shit did u smoke?
TP feels like a natural evolution so far (haven't finished it) From OOT. I'm not sure it'll rank higher in my list.. but I'm loving it so far. Let's see if it hits OOT's heights..
Skyward sword
also why is everyone here suddenly getting this recommended
Jayden C dunno man it's like TH-cam read my mind that I like Zelda
schaffrillas posted it to his community tab
... I don't know
Idk
@@Littleton3513 haha
0/10 didn’t include Link’s crossbow training
I actually unironically enjoyed that game
Its so hard to pick a favorite Zelda game with the radical evolution the series has gone through over the years, each generation is practically a different genre. When I want to sit down and experience an *_Epic_* I load up Twilight Princess. When I don't have much time to play, I like to pick up majoras mask anywhere, see what I can do in a day or two in my bombers notebook. And now with Breath of The wild I can just roam and explore freely, climbing the monster food-chain until I hit the peak with powerful weapons and armor... And stare at Kass too.
"Stare at Kass" same
i appreciate what you're trying to say but id argue that each game is the same genre, very different tonally. Zelda's specific 3D genre can be best described as "Adventure" and we rarely use that term these days i think specifically because few games replicate the Zelda experience.

Phantom Hourglass is so underrated.
Calamitous Enigma indeed
Calamitous Enigma you ain’t lying. Best I honestly love Phantom Hour Glass more than Wind Waker (mostly cause I didn’t play it). Still though Phantom Hour glass was one of the best DS games. Love to see a remake soon
@@calamitousenigma9052 EXACTLY!
OK BUT YES
Linebeck is VERY underrated and I actually really like Phantom Hourglass... Despite the pain of certain temple
I'm the only person in the world who enjoyed the flying in Skyward Sword.
Yes
No
I remember being so frustrated with the mechanics at the beginning of the game but a little past the halfway point I got used to the controls. From then on, flying was a blast! It's so satisfying to pull the controller down and shoot up in the air, plus the epic music and beautiful art design of the sky itself.
A lot of people call the sky "barren" but it's actually filled with a lot of cool stuff to discover. If it was any bigger I might agree.
No
I enjoyed it way too much
I think Majora's Mask isn't about growing up. Link is already an adult for all intents and purposes at the end of Ocarina of Time. His experiences made him into one, regardless whether he has now the body of a child again (which is quite ironic; it's the opposite of his situation at the end of the first part of Ocarina)
Majora's central theme is grief, loss, and how to cope with it. Termina literally comes from terminal, the end, the final.
The different stages of grief are all on display one way or another. The skull kid kickstarts the plot partially because he is angry at the giants because they won't spend time with him anymore. The townsfolk are initially deeply in denial over their impending moon doom.
You impersonate the dead friends of other characters, by playing songs and helping them let go of their pain, their deaths, and move on. The Deku King is angry because his daughter was stolen, and is taking it out on innocent people. The gorons mourn their fallen leader Darani, and he in turn tries to bargain for the player character to bring him back to life. Lulu shows depression after losing her eggs. Anju lost her lover, and vice versa.
Acceptance comes in many forms. Some people have argued that Ikana Valley, its theme of death, and Link's confrontation with his own mortality is a form of acceptance, as well as Link's cleansing of the place. The townsfolk accept their fate in the final day (even as it is averted by you). The skull kid realizes his mistakes and understands that partings are a part of life. And finally, this is just a theory, but it is speculated that Link's reason for being in the lost woods to begin with was to find his lost friend, Navi. If that's the case, perhaps his adventure in Termina allowed him to get some closure.
Good analysis!!
"This is easily the most likable Zelda has ever been"
*sad spirit tracks noises*
I know, right!?!??! :(
YES. Also Zelda's ghost theme in Spirit tracks is painfully underated.
My first Zelda was Twilight Princess, and so far remains my favorite. Tho Botw 2 might overtake it if the story and dungeons are good.
God please let’s there be actually good creative dungeons this time...
Majora's Mask in my opinion was not only the best zelda, but one of the best games period.
My first was ALBW but my favorite is EASILY Link's Awakening.
Same here. I’m still slogging through OOT and MM... I definitely enjoy them, but I don’t care for them as much as others. In fact, I’m kind of the reverse to Schafrilla, as the reason I love Twilight Princess so much (and Skyward Sword just behind it) is because I really care for those games and the characters in them feel like real people to me. OoT just hasn’t lit that spark in me, and I keep getting frustrated with Majora’s Mask because I keep getting stuck behind some convoluted puzzle... even more so than usual in a Zelda game. This had made it hard for me to enjoy it as much, despite it’s great characters.
@@fihyrulesmonado7659 I'm at the end of MM, but I refuse to beat it until I collect every mask. I'd probably have more fun the other way, but I hate missing out. Because of that, I've been sitting on the safe file for months.
Despite being subscribed for over a year, now, I had no idea that you already ranked your favorite Zelda games. Not only did I enjoy this list, and hold an almost identical ranking save for numbers 1 and 2, but I really appreciate you going back, taking this original material and giving Ocarina and (eventually) Majora it's due credit in a full video. Thank you for the entertainment!
0:48 "I'm only gonna be taking into account the remakes of these games, because I consider them the definitive versions"
Majora's Mask 3D is considered to be inferior to the original for several reasons.
I mean the improvements are more important than the drawbacks imo, you can’t make blanket statements about people’s opinions lmao
I didn't intend to write a blanket statement. Sorry. I just meant most fans consider it the weaker version. Not all.
Kaell Steers yeah np, I’ve played them both and the drawbacks are there, but the changes to the notebook and the song of double time are too important for me to not play the remake. But then again, that’s just me
Deku hopping and Zora swimming, anyone?
@@Tonithealtwing yep those were awful changes. Plus the bosses are terrible now too.
Honestly, I thought the Imprisoned looked kinda menacing during the first part of the game, until I actually fought it and I realised it had legs. Just... the legs made it look stupid. It doesn't stop Skyward Sword for being my favourite (because for me story is more important than gameplay) but I completely understand the numerous flaws it has and that the Imprisoned is awful
Twilight princess and wind waker are just as if not more flawed than skyward sword but nobody is ready for that conversation.
Skyward Sword, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess are all equally good, but very different games. They all have their own incarnation of Link that is unique to them. Ocarina of Time is generic at this point and doesn't get to be at the top of the list just because it was the best when it came out. It's a good game, but I think the later games try more interesting things and are more fun to play. I do like the sort of classic fantasy feel, though. It feels kinda like a simplified Ghibli world, though maybe not. Majora's Mask is a weird one and it's really hard to say how I feel about it. I can't really vibe with how weird it is to manage all the tasks and everything. Really interesting concept with a high quality execution, but I fon't have then mental leeway to play it properly right now.
Just for fun and because it's also my favorite video game franchise, I'm gonna rank the entire canon since I've played them all.
19. Phantom Hourglass
18. Four Swords Adventures
17. Zelda II: The Adventure Of Link
16. Four Swords
15. Tri Force Heroes
14. The Legend Of Zelda
13. Twilight Princess
12. Oracle Of Seasons
11. Skyward Sword
10. The Minish Cap
9. Spirit Tracks
8. Ocarina Of Time
7. A Link Between Worlds
6. Oracle Of Ages
5. A Link To The Past
4. Link's Awakening
3. Breath Of The Wild
2. Majora's Mask
1. The Wind Waker (my favorite video game of all time)
Nels Danburg You’re entitled to your opinion but seeing TP that low (and also seeing it below Triforce Heroes) physically hurt me...
@@jaievans6655 Idk I always thought Twilight Princess was good as a whole, but almost every aspect of the game in terms of overworld, story, gameplay, and design has many small issues scattered throughout that at times completely halt qualities going for it that are almost amazing. It had the potential to be a phenomenal Zelda game, but for me, it feels like for every two steps forward Twilight Princess takes, somewhere down the road in the near future, it takes a step back along with them. Overall, a good and solid Zelda game that I really enjoy as a whole. But personally, just compared to its competition, it's my least-favorite of the 3D titles. And Tri Force Heroes I actually find to be quite underrated. For me, it's by a considerable amount, the best of the multiplayer Zelda games in terms of story and gameplay. Nothing outstanding, and not much more than clearly a side story as an appetizer of sorts before Breath of the Wild. But if you look at it for what it is and does, I had a lot of fun playing it. Both by myself (which actually surprised me), and even more so with friends. Does kinda have a filler feeling to it in regards to what it does for the franchise, but when judging the game on its own merits, Tri Force Heroes still has a lot going for it and is a ton of fun play. It's not a big separation for me in the ranking tho. Twilight Princess is like a B for me while Tri Force Heroes is just a B+.
MAN Phantom Hourglass and TriForce Heroes are low :'( (I mean, I'm biased cuz I LOVE Toon Link's games. Mainly find it interesting how PH and ST are so far apart)
@@sanuria1 Sorry, this list is outdated lol I just updated it though. And I actually find that I surprisingly rank Tri-force Heroes higher than most do. I do think some flaws brought up our valid, but I also think that if you take the game for what it is inside its limitations, it's a really enjoyable time killer with some clever puzzles that better utilize the multiplayer aspect than Four Swords did imo. And tbh I never understood why most people just automatically group the DS games together. I feel like most people who did that only do it because they didn't play enough of one or both of them to realize it's not the same game and/or didn't try to adapt to the different control scheme. I actually think it works really well for the most part. And tbh I was shocked to discover over the years how vastly different in quality they are. They have similar world design structures and transportation systems yes. But Spirit Tracks greatly fixed upon a lot of the shortcomings from Phatom Hourglass. Despite literally running on train tracks they somehow laid out the world in a way that felt less linear than PH which had an open sea, more complicated puzzles, even more polished control scheme, more compelling story with more fleshed out characters, increase in difficulty, more challenging dungeons, and an infinitely superior soundtrack that's super underrated. Phantom Hourglass does all of this so much worse and honestly I do not think it gets enough crap. I used to like it fine as a kid, but even then always was on the lower end for me compared to other Zelda games. And tbh each time I've revisited it as I got older it just gets worse and worse. If it wasn't a Zelda game, it would just be a forgettable, mediocre, barely passable adventure game that could kill a few hours for you serviceably. But the Zelda standard is far above that and as a Zelda game, it fails in most of the key areas that makes for an exceptional, even just solid, game in the series. No doubt in my mind that it's the absolute low point of the main series.
my first response to seeing Phantom Hourglass not only at the bottom, but below spirit tracks, triforce heroes, and four swords adventures was physical revulsion at you.

Ah, yes. A fellow man of culture.

Ocarina is in my 5th right now. Not because it’s bad not at all. But because I vibed with the other games more.
@@Littleton3513 this comment is a year old
@@alexteuiielao7129 yeah, so.
@@Littleton3513 Wow I found this comment a day after it was posted
The only game that has matched majora for me was the original dark souls for it equally as detailed world and the fact that the entire game can be interpreted as a metaphor about depression and putting in the effort to get through it. Funny that two of my favorite games are about preserving hope in the face of death and incredible hardships respectively I’ve really made it through a lot because of those two
Twilight Princess was my first Zelda game.
My first was phantom hourglass
My first exposure to the Legend of Zelda was link to the past on the snes. My first full play through was OoT. Good times.
Mine wast[o!
Me too,technicaly,my dad played it,and i once guided link to the dungeon my father was trying to beat when he got up to pick the pizza,the first that i controlled was skywa....,nevermind,but the ACTUAL first zelda was OOT
Actually i started to get mad when you where about to announce the fourth place. You got me in the first half im not gonna lie.
Finally, someone else gets how amazing Majora’s mask is! People judge it too much from how it was developed and it’s mechanics
Wish SS had more attention given to it’s surface. Don’t like feeling forced to revisit an area the same way every time
Majora's mask 3d isn't the definitive version of Majora's Mask. It changed too much from the original unlike ocarina3d when they stayed as faithful as possible.
Locki_dos like what, I would actually want to know because I was going to buy it on my 3ds
GayLuigi69
Off the top of my head, they severely changed the timing of the deku’s floating (and completely removed spin dashing onto water), causing water skipping to be incredibly slow and hard. Zora swimming is also slower. The first dungeon boss was made incredibly dumb and the formula you’re forced to fight him with is using the tediously slow deku floating. Ice arrows can now only be used on glowing spots and in the fish boss’s room. The fight with Twinmold using the giant’s mask is changed horribly to the point where it’s incredibly hard to beat him due to how drastically the physics of the mask form was changed (including being limited to a punching/grabbing attack instead of being allowed to use your sword). The graphics are slightly less dark and toned. The camera is weird unless you have a New 3DS with the little c-stick.
I’m sure there’s more I’m missing, but that’s the gist I’ve gotten from videos.
And the only way to fix those problems is to use citra or a modded 3ds
I haven't played the N64 version, but from what I understand, a definitions version doesn't exist. MM 3D fixed problems while creating new ones. I don't think I'd like the N64 version as much simply because of just how god damn gorgeous MM 3D is.
@@souljacrankthat it changed quite a bit. If you want a detailed video and i new person to sub to, look up Nerrel's video on Majoras Mask.
"Every single time I replay it, I discover something new". Thank you. I never see anyone bring up how MM has the best replayability because every single time you do, you become and even greater master of time and the world around you. New ways to sequence side quests and dungeons. Every time I replay it I pick a cycle where I attempt to do as mu h as possible. Shit like upgrading your sword to gilded while using a deku stick to beat woodall temple in order to do the race against the butler and also somehow save the ranch. Try it for yourself. See how well you know to world to make the most of every second.
Man, I think that Skyward Sword dungeons are some of the best in the game.
You are correct
Fun fact: I used to look up playthroughs of random games. A lot of times I would get bored and stop watching. The only two I watched all the way were the first Mario and Luigi game and Majoras mask.
Amazing video. Love the fact that you actually played older games just to see what the praise was about. A+
I love this series so much
Here’s to all of the great games in this franchise and to many, many more!
The fact that he used footage from the Wii version of TP just makes me so happy.
The one thing that he likes more than Majora's Mask, In Song Form!
"Well Tomotoa hasn't always this glam, he was a drab little crab once."
I love how you have the Legend of Zelda, 25th anniversary (8th movement) Ballad of the Goddess with your intro. One of my favorite pieces of music ever.
Here's my unwanted list
1.) Wind Waker
2.) Majora's Mask
3.) Skyward Sword
4.) Twilight Princess
5.) Ocarina of Time
1. Twilight Princess
2. Majora's Mask (Though it kinda overlaps with Twilight Princess as my favorite.)
3. Ocarina of Time
4. Wind Waker
5. Skyward Sword (I haven't even played this one yet.)
This is legit my exact opinion and I also haven't played sky Ward sword
I would switch Wind Waker and Skyward around because I haven't played Wind Waker. I like all of the ones I have played.
Have you played breath of the wild
If I were to give a take it would be
1. Twilight Princess
2. Windwaker
3. Skyward Sword
4. Ocarina of Time
5. Majora's Mask
Skyward Sword is AWESOME! BOTW is my favourite, but Skyward Sword is DEFINITELY a good game.
First off, I love all these games. That being said, my list goes:
1. Majora's Mask
2. Twilight Princess
3. Wind Waker
4. Ocarina of Time
5. Breath of the Wild
6. Skyward Sword
Again, I love them all and some of my picks are biased. (Ex. Wind Waker was my first Zelda).
if breath of the wild weren't so much more fun to play, id kinda agree but breath of the wild outranks them all by a fucking country mile.
From what I’ve played:
5. Skyward Sword
4. Botw
3. Twilight Princess
2. Majora’s Mask
1. Ocarina of Time
I think Majora’s Mask is by far the best in the entire series and possibly the greatest game of all time, but I prefer Ocarina of Time personally.
And no, I’ve never played Wind Waker ;-;
@@quinnmarchese6313 big big big cap. Breath of the wild is miles behind. Dungeons boring, boss fights boring most of the time . And half of the enemy’s are just those stupids robots, the other half are those Yigas .And atmosphere just doesn’t hit
@@quinnmarchese6313 and the Soundtracks aren’t that great . The only good one for me was kars theme
@@gurki2500 not an uncommon take, i've heard that opinion voiced by a lot of people. The dungeons are a bit boring, especially the four main ones, the shrines i happen to like because of their quickness. you never approach a shrine and say "ill save and quit, come back on the next session cuz this will take too long". I also happen to love the soundtrack. the ambient world songs are great at upholding the vibe that you're in a dead world, and the only life are the creatures you see and the monsters that stalk around. The town songs are brilliant in their reuse of the series previous soundtracks, obviously you got Dragon Roost Island being repurposed into Rito Village, you got Zora's Domain reused for Zora's Domain, and Lon Lon Ranch theme (Epona's theme) was tooled into the stable theme. i do think that the Gerudo and Goron music is lacking however. Plus you got Kass who has some great original tunes, The Sacred Forest has two great themes, one for exploration, and the other for the Korok Woods, and on top of that, i think the generic sounds used for collecting items and the repurposed chest themes are all nice too. Music is the most subjective thing about that game however. I also think the story is one of the best in the series, albeit entirely player driven. obviously you dont have to kind all of the memories and those aren't the entire story, but i think the nuanced depiction of Zelda herself as an overpressured heroine is awesome and the other Champions, while not deep characters, round out the cast nicely, because of the shared history between them and Link. Does it surpass Majora's Mask, the best written Zelda game? no, but it does enough elsewhere to still be a more playable game. Its very subjective but if there is a Zelda game im going to play in 2021 and beyond its BotW, not TP, not OoT, not MM, maybe WW but that one is my personal favorite.
Dude majoras mask is my favorite Zelda and video game of all time... words can not describe how much I love this game... the nostalgia and history I have is insane
Don't worry. Skyward Sword was my first Zelda too.

Mine was Wind waker
discovered this pearl 6 years later.
If Majora’s Mask never existed, I feel like OOT Link wouldn’t be half the tragic hero we see him as now. OOT had such a solid story, and of course at the end, Navi flies away and sets up Link’s journey at the beginning of MM. But if there was no MM bookending Link’s story, he wouldn’t be tragic. Just a thought.
Final Hours... One of the most Emotional and Tear Jerking Songs in Music History. Knowing that Doom is Upon the World of Termina, the People of the Land just Waiting in Absolute Fear as the Moon is falling, you get a Sense of Hopelessness, Dread, and Sadness as the Hours Pass and the Earth Quakes. There's another Feeling or More that I cannot Describe, but I, and you, can Feel them when we Hear this Song.
" There's only one thing on earth I like more!"

Skyward Sword is still my favourite Zelda. I think you put it well when you said it has its flaws (what game doesn’t?) but it’s highs are just so damn higher than any other Zelda.
Clicked on this video 6 years later and I find it funny because now Breath of the Wild's sequel is out and thats the hype
Skyward Sword is my favorite Zelda game of all time because it was my first Zelda game, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. I love the gameplay, the characters, and basically everything that was mentioned in the video. I do agree that the Imprisoned royally sucks, but it's a little easier to beat him if you jump off of the tier above him and hit the seal that way, instead of trying to knock him down first.
As _games?_ 5) Skyward Sword, 4) Wind Waker, 3) Majora's Mask, 2) Twilight Princess, 1) Ocarina of Time. OoT and TP's dungeon and boss design is still dang solid years later. But TP's story loses steam four dungeons in and OoT's is pretty simple by modern standards.
As _stories?_ 5) Skyward Sword, 4) Twilight Princess, 3) Ocarina of Time, 2) Wind Waker, 1) Majora's Mask. MM transcends video games to be a compelling story _period,_ while WW tells a simple but beautiful tale of regret and hope. (It'd make an excellent animated film.)
One problem I would say about Twilight Princess is that the bosses make their weak point more obvious than every other 3D Zelda game. (Besides Majoras Mask on the 3DS) if you know the Zelda dungeon formula, you already know u have to use the dungeon item to defeat the boss but part of the puzzle was figuring out how to get to his weak spot. Twilight princess was a good game besides that tho
That's a big oof for skyward sword
@@doelroarpa3489 Nah that's a big yay for skyward sword
Majora's Mask is one of my favorites as well, and as such I'm still mad at nintendo for not basing Young Link more off of MM in Smash when there is literally a Great Bay stage and the bunny hood
I was really hoping we’d get Majora as one of the DLC!
When he revealed Windwaker my heart got shattered in a thousand pieces!
But in general, its a damn good video
This is my list but I like twilight princess more than majoras mask
Majora's Mask is honestly a god-tier game. I remember playing it on the wii virtual console almost a decade ago. It left such an impression on me.
Twilight Princess was my first Zelda game. I don't know too much about the others (I'm playing Majora's Mask for the first time atm) but Twilight Princess's atmosphere and even soundtrack is so great to me. Running through Hyrule Field is fine because of how adventurous it feels, and even the sidequests aren't too agonizing! I don't really play video games often so I like how more straightforward it is, and the dungeons were easy enough while still being creatively awesome. Majora's Mask awesome too, but TP is my top!
The soundtrack of TP is absolute gold
nonexistent ghost you should try ocarina of time
@@priesty1234 Oot got overhyped for me because of this video/comment section.
It was not all that by todays standards. I ended up just slogging through it.
Its not bad but I dont think it should be hyped up so much as a amazing timeless masterpiece when it aged.
Cuz it will just get people hyped up for s 30 year old buggy janky N64 game.

BEST. TWIST. EVER.
I’m not nostalgia blind either. Beaten it like 6 times. Love it.
OoT's twist gives me the very idea of what I believe a modern Zelda game is, and even Link to the Past is. What a Zelda story does is, it takes the very same artstyle that is used to provide a lighthearted, simple atmosphere in the beginning, and uses the story to give the style a much more sinister turn. OoT never changes its artstyle, instead allowing it to show both moods; Twilight Princess' artstyle can be both dark and moody and peaceful and relaxed; Breath of the Wild uses the same painting-style cel shading for both light and dark elements; and, notably, a Link to the Past and Between Worlds both use their bright, colorful ambiance for both a cheerful mood with a happy, populated world, and for a much more grim setting in the Dark World and Lorule.
Literally hate myself for spoiling the twist for myself before my first playthrough
@@timeland8343 What twist?
nettik123 Sheik
Charlie Kahn you’re so right!
I didn't own the n64 version of majora's mask but it's still my favorite Zelda as well. Twilight second ww third ss fourth and ocarina fifth
And majora's mask is my favorite final boss in the series
Bro you almost me got with putting OoT on the number 4 spot lmao very slick
He had us in the first half ngl
"The owl who eats your Tootsie Pop" is probably my favorite joke in one of your vids!

*Immediately turns off video out of protest*
Twilight princess is always gonna be my favourite
my first Zelda game was twilight princess, and it took me more than five years to come back and finally figure out how to fight the shadow beasts again after completing the forest temple, and now I'm on my way to complete the cave of ordeals and Hyrule castle
majoras mask (specifically the masks) gave me nightmares when i was 3. i thoughtd he was trapped in there and would never come out. also i was afraid of dying. and that's why i only played windwaker and i only went to outset island, dragon roost island, forest haven, and windfall island.
My subjective list and the subjective reasons why I adore each game:
1)twilight princess (feels Tolkien af, strong linear progression, alot of detail in the small things, it's variety )
2)breath of the wild (amazing world building, great character progression, non linearity executed well.)
3)wind waker (ganondorf, the story in general and how easy going the game is)
4)majoras mask (it's tone, impressive game design and ability to do alot with a little)
5)skyward sword (satisfying af combat, very creative dungeon design, groose)
6)ocarina of time (it's amazingly executed themes, great 2nd half and climax, how easy it is to pick up)
Me: How did I get here
TH-cam: Don't worry about it
Six years later I got this in my recommended feed. I was sure I had watched all the Zelda content from Schaffrillas so this is a pleasant surprise.
Same lmao
Twilight princess was my first Zelda and I remember playing it with my older cousin and at the time we also got the game Okami so we both spent a few weeks of our summer sitting on the couch in my grandparents basement at their cabin playing these two games and it’s one of my best childhood memories
You need to do one of these for metroid when prime 4 comes out.
*If
Also, here's mine if you are interested:
1)Prime 2
2)Prime
3)Zero mission
4)Fusion

7)Metroid NES
Those are all I played.

My two favourites being the bottom two was hurtful, but I understand your reasoning 😭 well wind waker hurt I was expecting skyward sword to be there, as much as I love it
My list is

"I consider the remakes to be the definitive versions" he says, with Majora's Mask 3D on the screen
The bosses are trash sure, but you barely use Deku hoping later and, at least for me, the Zora swimming wasn't that slow. Bomber's is better, Dual Song is better, graphics are improved... And yes, I saw a video showing the differences between the original and the 3D version.
@@StarWritterSW But have you ever played the original? Because with some things, you can't really tell unless you see it for yourself. (Though I haven't actually played 3D, so I wouldn't know either, so I guess it would be best to get an opinion from someone who's played both. (Which I have.)) And even if it's not that much worse, it's still worse, so you can't really call it the definitive edition.
@@0rangepel378 I intend to play it on my cellphone once I get a controller Ipega but what I saw on the videos the biggest issue would totally be the boss changes
@@StarWritterSW I wasn't even aware of any changes to boss fights and I already hated it, this is just giving me more reasons not to play it.
@@0rangepel378 believe me, the few changes don't kill the experience like the Silent Hill HD Collection
The character and emotion put into the world of Majoras Mask is unmatched in any game I've seen since, I really do find it hard to put into words how well the story and atmospheric elements of this game work together. The groundhog day esque 3-day cycle, combined with terrible events and circumstances allow the writers to just plain bring the characters to life in a way that any media can rarely do. Something about that 3 day cycle is deeply oppressive, it snuffs out the hope of a future and a course towards progress and fixing the world. All you have is every characters possible paths through that short period in exquisite detail- their last three days on earth, and most of them know it before the end. This is betrayed by some harrowing lines that you can seek out by exploring the nearly to be annihilated world. You can only provide temporary relief, solve some problems then see your work undone when you are forced to revert to the first day. It takes the formula of gradually fixing the world and beating back evil one step at a time (perfected in OOT) and shoots it in the head. You don't fix anything in this game for good, you just use the rewards to increase your own power until you can eventually fight back. The world doesn't get better, it remains unfixed and deeply pained. Even in final victory much of the damage wrought by the Skull Kid is outside of your power to fix. You can't bring back the Deku Butler's dead son as he was killed before the 3 day cycle started, neither can you make Kafei turn back into an adult for his wedding day, all you can do is reunite the pair for a bittersweet wedding ceremony hours before a death they know is coming. The intensely bleak themes of the game and the 'realness' of the characters however makes your interventions just feel so much more meaningful, reuniting the couple, healing Pamela's father, saving the ranch, and eventually, stopping the end of the world.
It's one of the only games (perhaps THE only) that I would class as a legitimate work of art, due to it's depth, emotional impact and uniqueness.
Majoras mask was really good BECAUSE of the 1 year production. If they had longer, they would have "nintendo-ified" it. We see the results of that in the 3ds version.
my ranking of all the zelda games ive played:
1. twilight princess
2. skyward sword (dont kill me)
3. breath of the wild
4. majoras mask
5. wind waker
6. ocarina of time
7. a link between worlds
8. spirit tracks
9. minish cap
10. phantom hourglass
11. links awakening
12. four swords adventures
I'm more mad about Phantom Hourglass being higher than Link's Awakening
Why is Link's Awakening so low?
TheAbsol idk i couldnt really get into it as much as the other games, but its bot that i disliked it i still loved it and its still a really good game
i dont own a switch myself but if i ever will play the remake thats coming out, maybe itll change my mind
@@KingsBard Hello? Phantom Hourglass is an absolutely misunderstood masterpiece and I'm ready to fi... I'm definitely not going to fight you on that because it really isn't but I still love it.
@@KingsBard call me a fag but im mad about FSA being 12. that game is such a blast in multiplayer
Twilight Princess is by far my personal favorite, despite the lack of added overworld features and side quests
I came here after watching AVGN's Majora review. It's nice to see a good, correct opinion on this game. Thanks Schaffrillas.
I was lucky to grow up with OOT and MM when they got released! for sure MM is the nr 1
Dude Ik this is three years old but I’m gonna do my ranking!
5. Ocarina of time (don’t @ me)
4. Windwaker
3. Skyward sword (again don’t @ me)
2. Majors mask
1. Twilight princess
You are very brave
Polkadotpearl273 heck yea I am
iam more brave my favorite is skyward then windwaker
You're so brave lol, well you can like whatever you want...
Ocarina and majora are very over rated
he pronounces ocarina like macarena
As it should be.
I went into this going "yeah he might of been influenced by pbg"
Then the wind waker clip came up and I was pleasantly surprised to see one of his clips.
Only now did I notice that Majora's Mask uses the Link to the Past theme as an integral part of the music, which further cements my theory that Termina is, in fact, Hyrule, but in the far future.
Majora’s Mask gives me ptsd flashbacks to the horrors of the game
Me to, but I love it OvQ
1. Wind Waker
2. Twilight Princess
3. Majora’s Mask
4. Ocarina of Time (fight me)
5. Skyward Sword
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
wut?
Can't blame ya. I never understood why Ocarina of Time is considered better than Wind Waker or Twilight Princess. It didn't age well at all, including the fact that it was the first 3D zelda game. Among the 3D games, OoT would definitely the most forgettable one for me if it wasn't for it being the first Zelda game I played.
@@sinisterstork9055 I find OOT's dungeons, side quest and overall environments to be much more interesting than TW's ones.
Currently I like OOT way more than TP, but it took me a long time to appreciate it that much. I understand its status as a classic masterpiece, but its fans often fail to mention that is also has a barrage of small issues and that it had aged very poorly.
TP is much more coherent as a game, at the cost of being a bit more stream-lined (also apparently I'm the only one who think that way but to me TP has the worst pacing of any Zelda game, and pacing is already my number 1 issue with most zelda titles).
All of this to say that imo OOT brings more to enjoy overall than TP, but it's also a much more unequal experience, so it's completly understandable to prefer a game like TP.
Haven't played WW yet but I really want to.
Agreed
Majoras mask is the best of them all.
Now I'm very curious about your thoughts on A Link to the Past.
1. Ocarina of Time 10/10
2. Majora's Mask 10/10
3. Tears of the Kingdom 10/10
4. Breath of the Wild 10/10
5. Wind Waker 10/10
6. Skyward Sword 10/10
7. Twilight Princess 10/10
At one point in his playthrough of Skyward Sword, chuggaaconroy sums up his opinion on Fi as:
_"I like Fi the character, I don't like Fi the helper."_
Which I think describes the game itself rather well: Its negatives are gameplay related; its positives are story/character/'overall feel' related.
(I legit cried more than once playing through it)
Why does this only have 510 views?
Because it wasn't August of 2019 when TH-cam finally let this video into people's recommended lists lol.
Hehehhe wait until Breath of the Wild 2 (or whatever it’s gonna be called) is released
My hype is real
Twilight Princesscess is my favorite Zelda game just because of how gritty it looks, and that's just my type of genre
I completely agree with your list :D loved it
literally every one has had a remake except skyward sword.
One year later...
Hi from 2021!
@@aikikaname6508 LOL
don't do another countdown
unless me or chris are there too
People really over explain the motion controls in Skyward Sword. It's very responsive, and I also found it to be such a magical getaway.
I've Never been able to get in to Majora's mask for some reason the time limit makes it kind of unfun for me
