[@CouchSpud91]

Despite being born in the early 90's, Twilight Princess was actually my first forray into playing any Zelda game. It has since been my absolute favorite zelda game, even moreso than even Breath of the Wild. Because in my opinion Twilight Princess has by far the best story in the franchise, only rivaled by the lore revelations at the end of Skyward Sword. That said, I acknowledge the downfalls of the game so I completely agree with Wood's placement of it as only being S tier.

[@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.

[@KevinAccetta]

Don't worry, you're not the only one who likes ST (and Phantom Hourglass). I love those games. Idk why the hate towards them 😅

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.

Phantom hourglass was my first Zelda game and I loved it

[@frishdaw]

First tier list that’s more or less spot on for my preferences, echoing what other people said our age definitely plays a part in this. Ocarina was my first Zelda and it’s hard to not consider that the golden standard!

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@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

[@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?

[@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!

[@SRTPOWER392]

Hey Wood. I’ve never played any Zelda games but between BOTW and TOTK I’m really interested and I’m thinking about picking up a switch to play them. Do you have any videos explaining the story up until those games or any videos on the best way to play BOTW and TOTK for a first time player in the series?

[@kris4905]

7:56 I'am literally playing that part of the game at this moment... and for a solide minute I was like: "why is he dancing" the background music of the game and the video were the same and I didn't realize😂

[@RetroGhetto]

A LINK TO THE PAST is SSS!

[@TheAlibabatree]

This is a really solid list. And it confirms for me that Botw, Oot, WW are the top 3 Zelda games.

[@pixelvapour1960]

BotW isn't even in my top 5. Replace that with LttP and you'll have my exact top 3

[@hist150project5]

More like MM, WW, and TP

[@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.

[@jjwhy321y3]

Adventure of Link "it's so far removed from any other zelda game". Unlike BOTW where dungeons are replaced w minecraft/lego puzzles, slow jog stamina bar, broken weapons, and repetitive climbing.

[@Legofromthelowerlands020]

Indeed! Great sum up and I agree with you sir! Beatemups is a joke though

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@n_logan2350]

This VIDEO WAS a very good and I ENJOYED it THOROUGHLY

[@DavisComicFinds]

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

[@coltforceplayer]

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

[@ExSpectre]

When you were talking about a link between worlds, what song was playing? I know I've heard it but I can't place it and it's driving me crazy.

[@StoakedYakapo]

Your tier list is from an obvious zelda fan... and I love it! ❤️ 🗡🪃🏹🛡

[@matthewallen1957]

Not bad. PH and ST should be higher up. And the only game that belongs in “F” is Triforce Heroes. I get Zelda II is different but it’s also the most challenging, and that is something admirable about 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".

[@kevinflubacker6825]

You put OOT, BOTW, MM, TP, WW among the best. I'm happy about that !

[@michaelcalabrese8677]

Much better than Bob's list for sure!!! I couldn't have yelled at my phone more than I did watching that podcast lol

[@Lexyvil]

I enjoyed Spirit Tracks a lot more than Phantom Hourglass. The latter I lost interest in finishing it.

[@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)

[@williamperez4393]

MY Podcast?! xD lmao i love you Wood

[@SonGoku-uu4cm]

My exact thoughts about Wind Waker. First time seeing Ganon’s death shock & awe

[@menswear2112]

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

[@Gustavofring1958]

You need to get off that zaza. Only a high person could say that TLOZ II is the bomb.

[@dominikabukova3685]

I will probably never get tired of watching you Wood🤣

It didn't age that well. You could only move in 4 directions and it sometimes lags.

You’re video always makes me laugh. That song with you in a green breath of the wild suits.
