This might be weird but the original Legend of Zelda (1986) is my favorite. I played it a LOT as a kid since my mom had a GameCube I could use. It was a game I could enjoy at any age and I still do now. Sometimes me and my mom still play. :)

[@fatalwaffle1715]

Awesome Video!

[@SumitKumar-rz7tb]

The forest's music fron ocarina of time is in my heart ❤️

Ocarina of Time is definitely the best Game i think due to the Gerudo Valley theme

[@hectorrocker3789]

Que saga para mas legendaria, como no amarla💓

[@Venomous_s1k]

This is how ill choose my favorite one. Quite a few i like

[@evelynbustos7313]

You included The faces of Evil, The Wand of Gamelon, and Tingle games but not Triforce Heroes?? It's also missing some gameplay for Four Swords GBA. Also Hyrule Warriors Wii U, 3DS, and Switch versions by separate would make this video perfect. Also Breath of the Wild should say Wii U instead of Nintendo Switch because it was originally for the Wii U. Everything else looks perfect I think. 👍

[@enddylcn7141]

It is WiiU and Switch original as they were released on the same day, month and year for both consoles

[@OmniversalOrca]

Breath of the Wild was not a later port. It was actually a Switch launch title. It was released for both consoles at the same time.

[@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwm]

5:19 that game looks so goofy ahh yet so fun

[@hendrickxavier9489]

melhor franquia dos video games ai.

[@rogerstephenroth8073]

Believe or not the best Legend of Zelda graphics isn't Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, it is done by fans with the unreal engine 5 remakes. But it is amazing how this legendary RPG video game franchise has gone as one of the greatest video games of all time. Link is a video game super hero among great video game hero characters in the history of video games.

[@mkjjoe]

I wouldn't call that the "best", it's like people don't know the "Nintendo hire this man!" meme... It's nice to see fan projects with some technical competence, but putting classics in modern engines with generic assets does not equal artistic quality.

[@rogerstephenroth8073]

I would have to strongly disagree with your analysis there. Given what fans world wide have shown there is some incredible talent by fans who actually doing some incredible work that is even better then Nintendo official designers and artists themselves. I could not believe my eyes what some of these genius fans where doing with hacked games and redesigns@@mkjjoe

[@douglassheridan8497]

I seriously like Link in his Green Tunic better. I’m upset he didn’t wear it in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom (Upcoming), Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Do you all like him in the Green Tunic too? Also, there has to be a way to resurrect the Master Sword. Without it, Link can’t destroy Ganondorf.

[@skylerfink9983]

Same I think it kinda ruins the game cause that's a big part of the zelda games it's so dumb

[@skylerfink9983]

I was starting to think I was the only one can't believe people are just accepting them taking away his iconic tunics I was expecting a riot when I first heard that they were wanting to get rid of it

[@skylerfink9983]

I hate that they wanna take it out of the story but I would literally pay money for his tunics so that they would keep them in

[@jacquijaurena7915]

The developers said it was because for BOTW there was so much green on the map and they wanted his character design to stand out more against the grass and trees in the scenery so they just started drawing him in blue and stuck with it

[@skylerfink9983]

Phantom hourglass, and spirit tracks, ocorina of time 3d (i know its not the old one) and link between worlds. Me and my dad would play ocorina of time for hours tryna beat the water temple. We eventually did and managed to beat the game... i miss those days

Nice summary, though some of these clips barely showed anything about the game, just walking from one screen to the next but nothing happening. For Zelda II it didn't even show an actual level. I guess that would make the video half an hour.

[@thedancingpipestuffer]

Great summary but what's the point of putting some games 2 or even 3 times, for every new re-release?!

[@zaciorfida-costanzo706]

Cause they had made changes to the game, visually and all. They weren’t just re-releases, they were Remakes\Remasters

Link is too much of a little girl in botw and totk. Twilight princess link is the best version bc hes manly and he doesnt sound like micheal jackson. The TP version of link is almost identical in skyward sword and 2 smash games bc he is the embodiment of a courageous hero and everyone loved it. The new link is too feminine and doesnt have enough meat on his bones.
