On the bright side of the worst Zelda games (which is the CD-I duology, or trilogy, I’d counting ZA), if there’s one thing Link: The Faces of Evil & Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon has that Zelda’s Adventure doesn’t which makes it 33rd place at the very highest (which is less than 4% close to the top from a literal standpoint), otherwise, it’s dead last at #34 on my list (if not everyone else’s because I think this game is actually underhated, even for a poorly received game) because of its existence alone as the only CD-I Zelda game and that even on its own, it has nothing good to offer (like I said, I hate LTFOE/ZTWOG, but as unfinished as they are, at least their cheap cutscenes are KZbin Poop material!) makes the rest look as good as any other Zelda game (especially the remakes)!

It never ceases to make me sad to see how few other people love Skyward Sword. It had some glaring flaws, I concede that fully. But it also had some of the most compelling character writing in the entire series. SS had one of if not the strongest Zelda-Link relationships in the series, an exceedingly memorable Impa rendition, and Groose, who had an incredible character arc. Beyond that the art style was stunning, had my favorite Zelda soundtrack to date, and what I found to be one of Zelda's strongest narratives. The narrative driven stories found in entries such as Ocarina and Twilight Princess are what makes LoZ so special to me and SS had that in spades. I remember finishing my first playthrough of Breath of the Wild and feeling thoroughly unfulfilled as a game that was a marvel in game and world design served as a vessel for a hollow and disconnected story delivered in small bursts that never met the potential I believed it held. Shortly after finishing BotW I booted up my Wii and played through Skyward Sword to get the fix of Zelda storytelling I was craving and fell right back into Skyward Swords story. And ever since has solidified itself in the rotation of classic Zelda titles such as OoT, TP, WW, and MM that I revisit when I'm feeling nostalgic. I recognize that the ship has sailed at this point, but I sincerely hope the many quality of life improvements provided by the Switch remaster compels people to give SS the second chance it deserves. Because it has more than earned it.

I did give it a chance and although i enjoyed it, i wasn‘t blown away by it and the more 3D-Zeldas i‘ve played, the more i‘ve realised how out of breath the devs where when they made it. People disappointed with Botw often say that they wish the traditional Zeldas back, not realising that, at some point, they just cannot reinvent the wheel anymore and in no game is that as apparent as on SS. While the game had one of the more interesting narratives, it felt like most of the creative effort went into that, at the cost of everything else. None of the dungeons felt really creative except for the pirate ship and the ancient cistern. I think the fact that you fight the forbidden one *3* (!) times speaks volumes about the whole game. The fight itself is quite boring and doing it 3 times is 3 times as boring, even if it slightly changes every time.

@cmstr16 Жыл бұрын
@Fräntschou There can be no doubt that the classic Zelda formula had been stretched to it's limits by the time SS came around and it suffered from a race against the death clock of the Wii itself. It has glaring weaknesses and you are right, The Imprisoned is a personification of those weaknesses. All that being said I don't feel as though Ancient Cistern and the ship were the only enjoyable dungeons. Most of the others lacked a level of originality that anyone would look for, but overall I think most were passable Zelda dungeons. And the story was compelling enough that I personally never felt like putting it down, even when I was bored fighting The Imprisoned for the second and third time. I absolutely agree that the Zelda series needed a lot of change, change that Breath of the Wild brought. I simply wish that it hadn't come at the cost of a driving narrative that felt like it served as a through line for the experience. BOTW is a game I love, a game I have put many many hours into, but it's not a game without flaws of it's own. Beyond the subjective matter of whether or not any one person believes the environmental storytelling and short bursts of flashbacks formed a compelling Zelda story, I also look at dungeon design. As much as we could sit here and criticize SS' dungeons I think BOTW is even worse in this area. The divine beasts are monotone, extremely short, and exceptionally easy. By the time I was walking into the fourth divine beast, it felt like a chore that I had to tick before getting back to the parts of the game I enjoyed so much. People often excuse this because of the shrine system, but honestly the vast majority of the shrines, with some glaring exceptions, felt tried and boring. By the time I was even halfway done most of the shrines felt rehashed if they weren't simply another combat trial. SS has it's problems and I in no way believe that Zelda should have stayed linear. BOTW brought innovative, exciting, and necessary change to the series, but it also came at the cost of much of what made me fall in love with Zelda in the first place. At the end of the day it's all subjective, I just happen to believe SS has more than enough strengths to make up for it's weaknesses.

Skyward Sword walked so BoTW could run. The stamina bar (no more rolling or side hops everywhere), crafting, and the art style (cell shaded but less cartoonish than Wind Waker) were really innovative for the series at the time, and their inclusion in BoTW helped to make that game into such a masterpiece. Not to mention that Skyward has some of the coolest dungeons and boss fights in the series (except for the Imprisoned, those fights can get in the bin).

If BotW 2 is able to make a few changes like weapon durability (many different options other than 99.99% break), some quality of life changes for crafting, and if we're really lucky some dungeons, it could possibly top Ocarina of Time for me. For now, OoT is still by far #1 for me.

@ianphillips103

I think what makes it so frustrating to me is that OoT should have been surpassed years ago but there is always something holding the games back. Wind Waker was too easy and the Triforce hunt....don't get me started, Twilight Princess had some cool dungeons on initial playthrough but the bosses I always felt lacked any challenge, Skyward Sword has the best dungeons and the worst everything else, and BoTW is everything I wanted exploration wise, but the actual meat of any Zelda game is the dungeons and the items and both are lacking outside of the weapon variety, which I appreciate but unfortunately every weapon breaks after like 15 hits. Majora's Mask is obviously an outlier in a lot of ways when it comes to 3D Zelda and I love the fact that it didn't try to copy Ocarina's story threads which every 3D Zelda game tried to emulate. So I think I love Ocarina and Majora's equally, but I agree with both of your points that if BoTW 2 is able to fix things that makes BoTW fall behind to me then yes absolutely we are looking at the best 3D Zelda game ever made.

Whoa there's so much I disagree with this list. Skyward Sword WAY too low. I literally never had any problems with the controls (plus the HD version has an option for button controls) and Fi very rarely solves puzzles for you. I get liking it the least of the 3D Zeldas, but putting it number 22 and below Four Swords and a bizarre Tingle spinoff? Definitely not. Same thing with Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and Zelda 2. They're not the best in the series but they're certainly better than a side mode added to a GBA port of A Link to the Past (which is far more Bowser's Minions than Bowser's Fury). Twilight Princess is also way too low and putting it below Four Swords Adventures is a crime. IMO Twilight Princess is easily better (or at least as good) as Ocarina of Time. Lastly, I disagree with putting Breath of the Wild at number 1. It's a really great open world game, but it's missing a ton of things that I love the Zelda series for.

The dungeons were neat, but they all looked the same, and didn't come with any sick music. Same with the bosses. I know the point of BOTW is to be open and calm, but I miss the grand musical scores. I had to turn up my volume on my tv and my switch (handheld mode) just to BARELY HEAR the Zora Domain music. Like what?? The shrines also got repetitive af. I've managed to get all 100 gold skulltulas. I've gotten every heart piece in every other zelda game I've played. But BOTW? No. Heck no. I have no motivation to do so, aside from needing a butt load of health because 1 hit in the beginning of the game will KO ur azz. Might be more realistic but it actually made me NOT want to explore, cuz I knew damn well I'd be dying every few minutes.

I always say that BotW is a decent open world game (not the best, for that I find the World too empty), but it's not a good Zelda game. I'm not against trying out new things. But the story was so weak, considering that Zelda games are often heavily story based. And since you don't have to follow one bit of the story (you can skip all memories, all divine beasts etc) shows how much the game is lacking in story. Also, change the names of the characters and locations and it could have been any other adventure game. No one would have noticed. TP, even though not the first Zelda I played, is by far my favourite game. Placing BotW on Number 1 and TP this low left me feeling no respect for the video creator because he jsut sounds like a basic fan boy of the BotW generation.

@@hardarmorff hope you enjoy them! there's a big reason these games are so highly regarded today. maybe they don't come with a lot of the QoL things we expect today or any of the showmanship, but they are "gameplay first" with expert execution and that is why we love them i think. Link's Awakening and Link to the Past have some of the best dungeon design ever made. Ocarina of Time is right there with them as well. we never wanted an "open world" from this series. Hyrule is open enough in any of these games. You CAN explore all the way to the boundaries in any of these games. The world IS open. IDK why they dissolved the original ideas into Ubisoft sensibilities. It feels so cheap

Even from a subjective standpoint, you guys did TP dirty (and at least flush if you're going to). How is it fair to harshly criticize this game's graphics while praising WW's, yet showcase the original version of TP and the HD version of WW (especially since these two were released AND rereleased on the same consoles)? If anything it should've been the other way around to illustrate your point about WW's art style. TP had very arguably the best dungeons in the franchise along w/ OoT, best supporting characters, best story development along w/ SS (also fairly underappreciated), best OST, etc. Besides that nothing outlandish, although I do hold the Oracles are the best of the GB Zeldas, not the worst, but it's undeniable they're all exceptional so I can't fault anyone's preference in that debate.

I feel like this got way too carried away and into detail and I put way more of my general frustration about the discourse around Zelda games into this than your comment warranted. So sorry about that in advance. I read your comment with less good faith than was warranted, so please don't see this as a personal criticism. But I put way too much time into writing it, too not post it anyways. I still stand by these things in general regardless. Tone and context just aren't really warranted without this disclaimer. The choice of showing the HD graphics is misleading and feels really weird to do considering how little if at all the models and textures were changed for the HD version of WW, but I feel like the point wasn't even made strong enough. WW looks so much better on GC the comparison feels almost insulting to me. There is a reason for WW basically just getting higher resolution and different lighting for the remaster, while a lot more had to be changed for TP. The characters in TP feel so uncanny and the world looks so unappealing, especially on GC. It's the style of graphics that made so many games look so bland and samey ever since 3D graphics came up. In general stylized graphics often look more unique and tend to age a lot better. It feels like we're slowly reaching a point where graphics are becoming close enough to real life for this to matter less, but I wouldn't be surprised if a few years from now most people would look back at games now and laugh at the thought. I think for example the choice of art style for the LA remake was brilliant. It's heavily stylized and it fits the game's story and theme perfectly. To me Mario 64 looks way better than OoT and MM, even though Nintendo knew the hardware better when they were made. At least that's how I feel about the graphics and I know I'm neither alone with that feeling, nor is it a universal one. What dungeon design you like is subjective too. In Zelda games it will for example heavily depend on how you like what GMTK in Boss Keys (which I highly recommend if you haven't seen it, to me a must if you're into Zelda) calls "follow the path dungeons" and "find the path dungeons". If you like more challenging dungeons will depend on things like your age, your familiarity with Zelda games or games in general and if you're playing to be challenged. And even more specific, do you prefer to be challenged in combat skills, puzzle solving or both. While I agree with TP having a great OST, even that is subjective. I feel like the best example for that is BotW. So many fans of the series were really disappointed with it, while I feel like it is absolutely perfect for the game. The most impact of a piece of music in a game on me was when I visited Rito Village the first time and just stood still for a while to listen to the music. As I feel like I've made clear already, a lot about all of these games is just subjective, but especially when it comes to story. I for example loved what they did with Age of Calamity and a lot of people were really pissed, while I would have been really disappointed with what most of them said should have happened instead. I love the stories in BotW, MM, WW and SS, but don't really like them in OoT and TP, which is definitely controversial from the comments I've gotten when saying these things. But that won't change my opinion. I know most Zelda fans would disagree with me saying MC is better than ALttP, but that's just my opinion, not doing it dirty.

The real fun in the first Legend of Zelda is repeat playthroughs. The game allows the player to go where they want from the start. It allows the player to take on more dangerous foes and get upgrades early, by knowing your way around and the movement/timing/place of each enemy(type). It is pretty easy to go into the first few dungeons destroying everything in your path contrary to the first time you play through it, dying in the first dungeon a few times.

Twilight Princess has the unique distinction of making me emotionally tense as I have to, with motion controls, physically confront giant spiders. I played this on a giant screen before those were as commonplace. The crossbow game plays really well on a giant screen also, great for parties...I should know. Age of Calamity was fun but a very different game from Breath of the Wild...I guess Link was a Jedi Master before he (almost?) got killed by Ganon, because wow, his fighting ability is crazy. ;) Finally in my opinion, Breath of the Wild is the one game that makes the Switch worth it, even if you don't buy any other game.

It isnt weird, in fact it is a very popular opinion in the latin world where building the entire game around time limit and time managment is the reason Majora's Mask rarely makes it anywhere near the top 5. Since english and japenese countries have way more monochronic cultures, the time limit tends to get way more praises than it does elsewhere goro

You’re absolutely right. MM is WAY too high on the list. MM is a good game but anyone who played both Ocarina and MM when they first came out would immediately understand MM is almost an expansion to Ocarina and while good, is not on the same level by any metric. It’s also much less replayable.

56:03 - I always liked the Triforce fragment hunt quest in Wind Waker - to me it's just a homage the the series roots in the original Legend of Zelda where the Triforce is a **literal** object you need to gather and find as opposed to being more of a spiritual metaphor that we see in most other games. I don't think we've had a game since where you hunt down fragments? It's a bit of a shame IMHO...

After seeing Twilight Princess at #16, I realized that these guys have no taste, that their opinions therefore no longer matter, and stopped the video there. Clearly if they have such a lack of sense to put TP anywhere other than *at least* the top 10 (especially in a list including fucking *Tingle* games), then they obviously cannot be trusted to put together a reliable ranking.

The disrespect to Skyward Sword and Spirit Tracks. I also find it interesting how often people either rank the Oracle games as one entry or put them back to back. I think Ages is significantly better because of its dungeons. My ranking of the main series would be: 19. Four Swords - D 18. The Adventure of Link - C 17. Tri-Force Heroes - C 16. Four Swords Adventures - C 15. Phantom Hourglass - B 14. The Legend of Zelda - B 13. Oracle of Seasons - B 12. Link's Awakening - B 11. Spirit Tracks - B 10. Oracle of Ages - A 9. A Link to the Past - A 8. Twilight Princess - A 7. The Minish Cap - A 6. Skyward Sword - A 5. A Link Between Worlds - S 4. The Wind Waker - S 3. Breath of the Wild - S 2. Ocarina of Time - S 1. Majora's Mask - X

BOTW is not a Zelda game; it's assassin's Creed meets fallout with hijacked Zelda species in it. End of story. No dungeons, no Zelda soundtrack, virtually zero storyline, no lasting personable characters, no boss fight variety (just different ganons) and did I mention NO DUNGEONS?!?!!... you know the thing that made Zelda games standout as a Zelda game... Great game, not a Zelda game. It's like when ppl say, "so-n-so at work is a great person, but they are a horrible, lazy, unreliable etc etc worker." Same thing: Great game, horrible Zelda game bc it has no Zelda qualities... You know how you can tell someone didn't get into Zelda until 2017? They vote BOTW as the best Zelda ever

MM has been my favorite since i was a little kid and i was always made to feel like i was wrong for thinking it was the better of the two.

I’ve noticed something kinda odd about Skyward Sword that no one seems to talk about: I’m willing to bet those who struggled with the motion controls were trying to play in a setup/environment that didn’t support the game. What I mean is the act of playing the game differs dramatically if you’re not a *specific* distance away from your TV. In my experience if you position yourself too close or too far from the TV, the game will simply fail to read the motions properly. When I first played the game in the comfort of my childhood home, this wasn’t an issue. But it definitely became an issue once I tried playing the game in my tiny, crowded, messy college apartment. Even Nintendo isn’t crazy enough to put out a broken game they developed in-house. I’m convinced this is a situation where they had a specific idea of how people would play the game, and the reality is many people simply played the game incorrectly. Not thinking their setup has anything to do with it

I gotta say, i mostly agreed with your ranking until Twilight Princess, i don't know if that's because of emotional value or something else. but i absolutely adore the game, to it's atmosphere, character development, world design, and so much more! i feel like this game is unfairly forgotten by most people, but it did took previously set boudaries and expanded upon them. combat variety is an example... although my favorite part about it has to be the Ocarina of Time paralels. i mean, hero of time quite litteraly trains his predecessor, and that's equally awsome as it is touching... So, here's my two cents on this subject. as you can see, i really love the game :P
