So I finally started it.

It's a fine game.

I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

I'm old. I'm patient.

Please, please don't mention spoilers if possible. I love to crack nuts the old fashioned way. ๐Ÿ™‚

There might be someone one here who has played through all of them, though if I had to bet, I'd guess not. That's a pretty large library.

I've played most of them, and minish cap is definitely the best imo. The music, story, world, and nostalgia were all there for me. I also think LOZ was at its peak in the 2D era.

Also special mention, crossbow training for wii is C tier and LOZ CD-i is definitely A tier because Morshu

My first Zelda was... the original Zelda. Man I'm old. :)

So far I've played: 1-5 (Link's Awakening on Switch), 9, 12, 16 (Switch), 19. So I've played almost half. I thought BotW was meh, so I'm thinking of going back and playing some of the games I've missed (I bought Skyward Sword and Link's Awakening after TotK released). I never had an N64 (played Ocarina of time on a friend's N64), Game Cube, Wii, or Wii U, so I skipped those (I switched to XBox around that time).

I'm thinking Majora's Mask and Wind Waker next. Any thoughts?

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
