[@zeldakasumi]

I really loved Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks too! Growing up I couldn't play the 3D Zelda games on TV consoles. I had a coordination problem that was helped if I could see my hands in my peripheral vision, so the GameBoy games I could play and love, but I could only watch my siblings play Ocarina of Time, Windwaker, etc. When I was in my twenties, I received a second hand DS lite and Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. For the first time ever, I was able to play in an expansive, 3D adventure too. It was so thrilling! Sometimes I wonder if people's experience of Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks differs because of what games they played before those two titles and were able to compare them to. Comparing Phantom Hourglass to Windwaker versus comparing it to the Minish Cap and Oracles games probably gives one a very different perspective.

Zelda 2 is severely underrated and actually is the blueprint for the modern games. Open world, towns, with NPCs, multiple quest, and somewhat strategic combat with the use of spells. Just because its a side scroller doesn't make it a black sheep. Once you get past the initial grind and beginning the game gets better and you can actually see how it influenced the other games.

That sux, have high hopes for TOTK, BOTW was a let down for me. Got all the way to Ganon and lost all interest. Didn't even fight him, simply lost enthusiasm for it. I've heard mixed reviews on TOTK, mostly due to the added mechanics. Wish devs understood what made LOZ so great, and it was mostly the adventure(story, the "heros journey" immersion)/characters/weapons (i.e mechanics vs NPCs and environments) all of which added life and soul to the game. Loved all the games up to Skyward Sword excluding BOTW. Def have my favs but they all showed that beautiful lively LOZ soul many of us OGs love. Haven't played Skyward Sword yet but it looks pretty neat. It's a toss up of that or TOTK.

I became a Zelda fan when botw came out, so I haven't played all the games, but this is my tier list based on which ones I've played: SS: Botw (Love the atmosphere, the music, the cutscenes the gameplay, everything, even the divine beasts) S: Totk (Amazing game, but WAY too similar to botw. It's basically the same as botw but they added a few things. Plus, they got rid of the master cycle and 60 damage master sword) A: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity (Very underrated game, I loved the story, I don't care if it's not canon, it can still be a good story) A Link to the Past (So fun, music is great, just a little repetitive gameplay wise) Skyward Sword (People hate motion controls too much, I was fine with them. Story and music are great, the only thing is there could be more places to go other than Faron, Death Mountain, and Lanayru) B: Link's awakening (Felt like a Zelda game, but there's nothing too special about it) C: Ocarina of Time (Very overrated for me, it was a fine game, and it has a good story, but it is sometimes very janky and hard to play. Also, I got confused as to where I was supposed to go a lot in the game. For example, how was I supposed to know that I needed to hit a random rolling goron with a bomb to progress in the game? It just felt a little vague to me) The Legend of Zelda (Same reasons as OoT, just worse because it's not 3D and doesn't have much of a story) D: The Legend of Zelda II (Same reasons as OoT and The Legend of Zelda, but even worse because it is WAY too hard) I know a lot of you are going to be pissed with that OoT ranking, but remember, it's just my opinion. I don't think it's a bad game I just don't think it's the best game of all time like people say it is. I respect your opinion If it's your favorite game in the series, I'm happy for you, it's just not my personal cup of tea.

[@BronxAF]

I grew up on NES Zelda and got ocarina of time for Christmas one year and I was obsessed with that game. It’s my fav game ever made. Sure, I was stuck on the water temple for almost a year. But I enjoyed finally figuring it out and beating the game 😂

[@blueeyedblondguy7947]

Four swords adventure for gamecube was ahead of its time. Amazing game with beautiful soundtrack. Recommend giving it a try

[@BrianFo]

I will always stand by this game :)

[@ricardomatta15]

I love the Adventures of Link. I've spent so much time on that game over the years. Sad to see it get so much hate.

[@blarghblargh]

yeah, it's a really good game. play the recent PC port. it rules!

[@victorianicholls5739]

Phantom hourglass was my first Zelda game and I loved it

[@trench01]

if you dont count the 1st game, oddly zelda 2 (advetures of link) is the best selling zelda game in japan and maybe the world if you take into account population in % sales. some Zelda jokes Why did the Zelda game reviewer break up with the internet? Because they found someone with better links! Why did Link go to the bank? To get his chain links in order! What do you call a group of Links who are lost? A chain of confusion! What do you call a Goron who’s always late? A rock tardy! Why did the Octorok refuse to eat the Deku Tree? Because it was a little wooden! What do you call a Zora who’s always happy? A fishful thinker! Why did the Poe go to the party alone? Because he had no body to go with him! Why did the Goron go to the doctor? Because he was feeling a little boulder! What do you call a group of Bokoblins? A moblin! Why did the chicken cross the road in Termina? To get to the Majora side! What do you call a Gerudo who’s always angry? A thunderous! Why did the Deku Scrub go to the bank? To get his Deku nuts in order!

[@bretttheroux8040]

OoT came out when I was in 6th grade, I used to wake up an hour early than normal so i could play it before school. Flawless game. Also, you’re not wrong, earthbound is peak gaming

[@marlon8597]

Dude I used to do the same thing! Sometimes go fishing or run around hyrule. Even played Majoras Mask too.

[@DavisComicFinds]

I agree with pretty much everything. Only change would be to move Link to the Past to SS.

[@maze3285]

I think the blueprint for further games is a link to the past

[@almpertis]

I would really like to see a Zelda lore / timeline explained video from you

[@grimminatorXYZ]

Good list, I would now put tears of the kingdom in SS and move breath of the wild down into S. I also think that phantom hourglass is severely underrated, B tier absolute minimum, probably A tier IMO

[@pacobatracio]

I loved phantom hourglass. They tried something new, having two screen bosses were amazing, and the puzzles were very interesting. My 3DS broke and I could not play spirit track. Sad. Lol

[@RetroGhetto]

A LINK TO THE PAST is SSS!

[@ChrisReid-rn1cx]

I have never played it but I would love to hear why people love it so much.

[@JanPhilippEmanuelDaraio]

My List would be this S-Tier (in order) The legend of ZELDA - Majora's Mask The legend of ZELDA - Ocarina of Time The legend of ZELDA - The Wind Waker A-Tier (in order) The legend of ZELDA - Breath of the Wild The legend of ZELDA - Link's Awakening (DX) The legend of ZELDA - Twilight Princess The legend of ZELDA - Tears of the Kingdom The legend of ZELDA - A Link between Worlds B-Tier (in order) The legend of ZELDA - Oracle of Ages The legend of ZELDA - Oracle of Seasons The legend of ZELDA - A Link to the Past The legend of ZELDA - Skyward Sword The legend of ZELDA - Four Swords Adventures The legend of ZELDA - Hyrule Fantasy C-Tier (in order) The legend of ZELDA - The Minish Cap The legend of ZELDA - The Adventures of Link The legend of ZELDA - Four Swords (Anniversary Edition) D-Tier (in order) The legend of ZELDA - Spirit Tracks The legend of ZELDA - Phantom Hourglass E-Tier The legend of ZELDA - TriForce Heroes But each list is probably shaped a lot by when a game was played.

Honestly this list is amazing

@@zaristophanesThank you! =)

L, spirit tracks hater 🤓☝️

I’d switch oracle of seasons and ages around. Ages being slightly better. Probably would put skyward sword on A- as I hated all the bosses looking like they pulled from Monsters Inc. But love the list and would rank everything similar tbh.

How the f can you put Spirit Tracks in D tier, its such a good game!

As someone who’s first real Zelda game was Breath of The Wild, I feel like I’m gonna have a hard time getting used to the other games since there’s no climbing necessarily, open world and Blue Link

[@smasher2265]

Do not worry friend, theres no such thing as a zelda bad game, they are all flawless, just think of the time and technology at the moment, dont compare them to botw

[@coltforceplayer]

@@smasher2265 Majoras Mask and Ocarina are really good btw

[@luispedroruizgarcia15]

the adventure of Link an F! WTF!!! it was a gem of it’s time! and the soundtrack!!!💯👌🏼

[@drifblimdtr2500]

I agree, its more like an eldin ring than Zelda but for him throw it in F so fast and easily is like ... really?

[@varnakiel]

In Zelda (the original NES), after killing Ganon, you save the princess and she says thank you for saving hyrule As for Zelda 2, it is an hidden gem, but here is the logic..... we had zelda 1, then we had a vastly improved graphic and mechanics, RPG elements etc.... way more difficult than zelda 1, still an overhead map with random encounters, its a blend of Zelda, dragon warrior, Mario, music is great, fighting is better in every way than Zelda 1. And if you think it is much different than every other Zelda you are right because they went back and copy the original one, if they would have persue the 2nd style... the first one would have appeared to be different, but it's easier to make an overworld when making an adventure and also less complex to make only 1 style. Still i hold my position that Zelda 2 is a Gem and it takes way more than 2h to finish it!

[@interstellarlapisthecccp4946]

Majoras Mask is definitely my favorite Zelda. It is really hard choosing between Majoras and Ocarina, because they are both pretty much perfect games in my opinion. Some of the very few games I would give a perfect 100% score. The adventure aspect is definitely better in Ocarina; that is to say the main quest is longer, there are more unique dungeons and the dungeons are just better overall. A lot of people I know felt like Majoras Mask was way too short... like it was missing an act. I personally took my time playing this game and there was just so many side-quests, character story-lines, items to find and places to explore that it didn't feel shorter than Ocarina at all. Going back to Ocarina of Time after playing Majoras Mask kind of felt like... all the characters were really one dimensional. As a kid I just spent so much time getting all the masks and basically theorizing about all the weird people/creatures you encounter in the game and it was fascinating. A lot of them you can follow around and see them do different things depending on what day it is. It all just feels more meaningful. There isn't that much to do in Ocarina when you aren't following the main story line, which is why I spent way more time playing Majoras Mask as a kid.

[@Ray-hx5fu]

Im so shocked and surprised phantom of hourglass and spirit tracks in D Tier wtf. I didnt know i was driven by nostalgia this much. I had it as one of my best adventure growing up and i saw it as a S tier banger.

[@Littlefish1239]

It’s not nostalgia

[@stellar1463]

I love how you actually love link between worlds and put it on S tier since most people never talk abt this game and it's very fun. The only thing against it was it was pretty easy that i never even died lol. But i kinda feel attacked you put seasons on A and ages on B since imo, ages was far better than seasons but it's okay. It's your opinion and you said u haven't played it yet haha

[@Wobble2007]

BOTW doesn't deserve to be anywhere near OOT or MM, it's a brilliant classic yes, but no SS tier, the story was way too disjointed and broken, BOTW was actually so broken at its core you could miss 99% of the game and go straight to the end lol, that's not what LOZ is about imho.

[@puffin7285]

THE most important thing in a Zleda game imo are the dungeons and BotW has none, so as good as the rest of the game is it can't be higher than A at best. It drops one of the key comonents. Shrines do not make up for it and the Beasts were really just 1 "dungeon" split into 4 parts, they are too similar, lack their own personality and don't do anything memorable

[@linkgamez7022]

thanks for recognizing that LBW is actually good

[@cloudstrife8833]

Windwaker is by far the most underrated zelda game

[@kennethmarkwith4678]

A Link to the Past should definitely be at the top of this list, its at the top of my all-time video games list. Its a perfect game...a masterpiece!

[@bipolarmidget1558]

Link to the past is the goat.

[@delecti]

I think it's really interesting that you preferred SS on the Wii over the Switch, because I felt the opposite. The motion controls really kept me from engaging with the Wii version, but the more standard controls on Switch worked well enough that I could really enjoy the game for what it is (also they made Fi interrupt less).

[@tronlady1]

And it looks SOOOO MUCH BETTER (HD on wii U)

[@menswear2112]

You are off your meds. Take them daily because Zelda II is the bomb.

Dude this guy is actually amazing with this tier list. He’s honest with it no matter what. I just gotta sub bro

[@stephaneducroquet2617]

What I really love with the Zelda games is how they keep pushing innovative gameplay, and consequently how rich the whole Zelda collection is. I don't have any other "franchise" in mind coming close to it.

[@JustinKobus]

I always got stressed out by the timer/moon in Majora's Mask as a kid. I do remember getting all 3 masks without beating a temple and feeling like I "tricked the game".

[@NormansWorldMovies]

Second edit: Aonuma confirmed in an interview that link is Ambidextrous, meaning he is neither left-handed or right-handed. First edit: Link used to be left-handed. Ever since Twilight princess on the Wii, he's been right-handed, so I think it's fair to assume that he's neither left-handed or right-handed. Twilight Princess is the only game where Link is left-handed. In every other game, he's right-handed.

[@charliefen]

No, Wood's right. Aonuma may have made up an excuse later on, but all Link's up until that point (and some directly following - Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, probably to provide consistency with Wind Waker) were left-handed. Just look at Ocarina, Majora's, Wind Waker etc. All left-handed. They have only kept to right-handed since they had to switch it with Twilight Princess, which argues against him being ambidextrous, especially as they kept the DS ones following Wind Waker consistent.

[@NormansWorldMovies]

@@charliefen there have been some New games where link is left-handed, like in echoes of wisdom.

[@Aaron_LH]

The chasm between ocarina of time and everything else is such that if OOT is SS, everything else is an F. Fight me.

[@ShiroKage009]

Every single action game that has a lock-on feature owes this to Ocarina of Time. Nintendo basically wrote the bible of 3D game world navigation basics with Mario 64 and OoT.

[@fbomb7184]

BeatEmUps guy - I’m a huuuuuge Zelda fan Also BEU guy - I don’t know if LoZ is in Hyrule, I actually don’t know the story. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@goodmanwiseman303]

Theres no way BOTW is better than OOT. BOTW has amazing mechanics and the world is fun to explore. The characters are mediocre, the story is bad, the dungeons are trash, collecting mushrooms and making meals gets tedious after the 3rd or 4th time. Awesome tech improvement for the franchise, but its A at best.

[@Ls-zb4pt]

i think i might be the odd man out here.....i could not get into the breath of the wild games

[@ozzyhassan949]

Link to the Past and Orcania of Time are a must but everything else is optional. Nuff said.

[@Pat43489]

BotW was the first Zelda I played, and I was disappointed. With the premise being that this game is an exploration game at the forefront, the world was boring... (at least for 2023). "Wo a huge maze!!! Let's see what's there... oh it's a shrine..., Oh look a huge mountain!... oh there's only a korok seed there..." Yeah, some shrines are fun, but being awarded a weapon part of 1 of 3 weapon classes, (so there's only 3 different weapons really, and a bunch of reskins with different stats), that will break very soon if you use it... this year it is the only game of my backlog I couldn't justify the time investment to complete it. If it was 10 hours long, maybe, but the divine beasts arguably similar to each other were not enough for me to stay hooked. I understand its impact for its time, (despite Witcher 3 coming out 3 years earlier and being way more compelling), but I think if it released in 2023 it would be a B at the very most. For 2023, I rated it a 6/10. In contrast, I actually preferred Link's Awakening, because it achieved its goal, (while being less ambitious), much better than BotW. I really hope I don't get disappointed with Tears, as it's a 2023 game rather than 2017.

[@rhindlethered]

Re: The Oracle games. They are completely different games. Much more than, say, the Pokemon titles, they should not be considered one title. So, it makes perfect sense for them to potentially be on different places on a tier list. (They should have separate sales numbers as well, tbh.)

[@Morgothik]

Majora's mask NOT in SS tier? No credibility, unsubbed, blocked, and undergoing electroshock therapy to forget you exist.

Breath of the wild before ocarina? what ? Bruh

[@cedrics7374]

14:27 i would argue a link to the past is SS, I might be biased but even more than 20 years after it’s release I replayed the original and it stands the test of time. Due to it’s simple style it even looks newer than ocarina of time. It’s a masterpiece.
