[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

Definitely Tears of the Kingdom. I stayed up too long playing that. I played all night. Thank God it was the weekend.

[@kodytiffany5686]

I really do not like how overratted Mask is. Personally I feel Tears of the Kingdom or Wind Waker were better stories to me. Tho of the games I have completed I think Link to the Past was the best story. I like the story of Mask but not this much Top 5 still.

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

@@kodytiffany5686 Isn't it Ocarina of Time that is overrated?

[@ILoveMisty1985]

I always felt that Twilight Princess is the most cinematic of the Zelda games, as Nintendo used many techniques commonly found in filmmaking to heighten the unfolding of the story. That in addition to Midna's tremendous narrative arc plus the unforgettable ending makes it the top Zelda story for me.

[@AlchemyLOZ]

Midna will always have the best character development in any of the games

I love Link’s Awakening but it’s WAY too high on this list. The game ultimately asks a great question about what’s real but the story itself is incredibly straightforward and simple.

[@beezar113]

As straight forward as it is I think the question about what’s real is poignant enough, and its ultimate message is just about how hard it is to let go, with Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, and Wind Waker all having their own takes on that topic as well

[@CarlyC1219]

Majora’s Mask being number 1 makes my heart so happy 🥹🫶🏻

Skyward sword for me has the best and most important story, too many people shun it just because of the controls at the time, when replaying it in the HD version, for me that game is perfect,

[@mattiasolsson1523]

Even the video had to mention the control, SS’s story is one of the best as well.

Id agree. I really enjoyed Skyward Sword. The controls on the HD version are a bit wonky but they're far from a deal breaker. Probably my second favorite story after Twilight Princess, though Ocarina will always be my favorite game.

[@fanoli_]

We respect your opinion.

[@cobracommander6522]

I agree it's one of my top favorite Zelda games.

[@beezar113]

I think Twilight Princess has the best story, thanks to Midna’s character development, and how it relates to what the game has to say about power. How it motivates Zant and Ganondorf, even how it motivates Link, and by extension, you, the player. It even tackles systemic oppression and economic disparity and the outcomes of abusing power. I think it’s so genuinely well thought out and as the video already put it, one of the greatest pieces of fantasy fiction ever made

[@simplyhomosapien]

Man i gotta defend Windwaker!! What an apocalyptic water world kind of situation! I think Ganondorf’s character is one of the most compelling villains in all of Zelda, Tetra being the most subversive and playful Zelda in the series, this zero to hero version of link absolutely embodies the spirit of a courageous young kid who literally takes on the world, and just such a rich painting of this post-apocalyptic hyruke both in gameplay, map design, and in characterization. It’s only beat out by the absolutely unbelievable complexity of majora’s mask, never seen a game where the full story takes so much patience and true dedication to living out the real life of this 3 day repeat. Ridiculous creativity

[@sharkgam3z592]

Wind waker ganon is still the best ganon in the series

[@gandalfandchill549]

Not just that, but Link isn't descended from the Hero! He's just some kid that EARNS it. Really amazing storytelling.

@@chrislevack405this is a bad take. It’s a story about the leader of a broken kingdom attempting to, out of desperation, steal the equivalent of another kingdom’s sun, essentially. This plot involves kidnapping, deception, and even killing. A Link to the Past does nothing like that at all.

There is no greater Zelda story than Skyward sword. You have romance, great characters, the origin of the master sword, the origin of Hylia and the reason why Link,Zelda, and Ganondorf always exist in different games. You even have the TRIFORCE pieces collected in THE SACRED REALM and made manifest into the full triforce and used by Link. Not to mention you have connections to OOT, Link to the past and Twilight Princess. It's the ultimate Zelda story.

Happy to see Twilight Princess nearly at the top. Maybe I should see if I can get my hands on Majora’s Mask.

[@ragingsavage9059]

If you got NSO expansion pack you can play the N64 version. Is definitely a must play.

[@trippietoadie1296]

Both WW and TP have excellent story narratives. We are introduced to people Link actual cares about (family, close friends), a conflict in the over world affects them early in the game. And that allows us to grow more of an emotional attachment to the characters and the story. Both have great overarching stories that put an interesting spin on Hyrule and how players traverse the over-world. Both have heartwarming conclusions that leave us feeling happy and satisfied.

[@trippietoadie1296]

PS: I’m not saying any of the others don’t. I just remember these two the best.

[@a.jthomas6132]

WW to me I like the most not because I enjoyed the open water exploration in traveling from island to island. But this version of Ganondorf had more in depth to his character (since he was coveted the wind and green field of Hyrule since the Gerudo Desert carried nothing but suffering and ruin). I wish OG Japanese original text are being kept since it shows more of Ganondorf's motivation than the English localization (since he wanted to bring back the land that's roamed by demons and despise anyone who lacks a fighting spirit).

[@McWickyyyy]

Majoras mask is my all time favorite. I never realized how cool the story of links awakening seems. I might check that one out :)

Wind Waker and Skyward Sword are easily the best stories, hands down. Should've been the top 2 imo. I agree that Midna's arc in Twilight Princess is incredible, however, most elements of the plot outside of hers fall short... hence I'd bump it down a few. Four Swords Adventures has more plot and lore than you gave credit for in the video. Spirit Tracks and A Link Between Worlds deserved to be a bit higher. Tears of the Kingdom deserves to be over Breath of the Wild, although I do agree that Wild had better environmental story telling. Very mixed list for me lol.

[@a.jthomas6132]

Breath of the Wild and Ocraina of Time to me are the best narrative stories of the Legend of Zelda franchises while Skyward Sword serves at the perfect origin story of how everything had started it all.

Majora's Mask is honestly the Zelda game I hesitate replaying the most. Outside Stone Tower Temple the dungeons honestly kinda suck. Great Bay Temple in particular is a slog to get through.

[@johnrisner1347]

Ranking TOTK below BOTW is crazy. BOTW’s story was an afterthought. Prime example of letting bias to a game introducing you to a world impact your rating. They’re both phenomenal games - and though TOTK did have some issues with repetition in its four boss cutscenes - its story is much more compelling with more complex characterization. WW needs to be pushed up too - while following a similar formula as most Zelda games, it was much easier to feel more personally involved with the stakes.

Still think if they remade ocarina of times entire story in the BOTW engine, or made a hyrule in that engine that reflected the hyrule from ocarina, and redid that story in a different way but with all the same characters and places being depicted in a fresh way, would be the greatest Zelda ever even without a new story. The story would seem new from being presented in a different visual style and setting. Obviously a lot of the puzzles in the dungeons might have to change with the climbing mechanic, or it could be like in the shrines how you can’t climb walls. Doubt they ever do this, but a man can dream, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who would enjoy that premise

[@LunaKai01]

I thought the thumbnail was Iron Maiden art for a moment lmao

[@DanTheMan12121212]

Some thoughts: 1. The Oracles and BOTW are some of my favorite Zeldas and they are WAY too high on this list imo. Even together the Oracles are very bare-bones on plot- substantially worse in that department than Minish Cap which has incredible lore about Hyrule, and worse that ALBTW, which has a twist ending and villains with very compelling motives. 2. Wind Waker is at least better than OOT. The King of Red Lions, Ganon, Makar, Medli, and Tetra all have substantially more depth and flush out the story more than any side character other than maybe Nabooru in OOT. 3. Skyward Sword and TOTK are easily top 5 if not too 3. Replay these games and tell me again that LA and OOT have better stories. I know everyone’s opinions and perspectives are valid, but don’t think the video creators here really put enough thought into this list to justify their (to me) bizarre placements. Still a fun watch.

[@popculturepausescreen1522]

A game being on the NES doesn't make it impossible to make a complex story. Telling stories through games just hadn't evolved enough back then.

#2 YES!!! It remains my FAVORITE Zelda Game to date!!!

[@andrewmcvay6412]

Twilight Princess absolutely belonds in the #2 spot. My only issue is the placement of BOTW and TOTK. I was far more investing in the TOTK story than BOTW. BOTW was good solely for the fact that it told the story of the heroes defeat but TOTK was far more compelling in my humble opinion.

[@4dojo]

Majora's Mask And Ocarina both have very solid and original storylines. Granted Ocarina's story feels a little less original these days because so many other Zelda games have a similar storyline at this point. But I still hold that Ocarina has a very good story. Majora's Mask might be better though.

[@jgrsdmg]

Twilight Princess and Final Fantasy IX will always be my top 2 stories on a video game

Metal Gear Solid, Majoras Mask, and Final Fantasy X for me

[@jayb8934]

I think that Tears of the Kingdom should rank above Breath of the Wild. Almost nothing happens in the present of BotW. The entire story took place 100 years before the game.

[@Vampocrat]

Even crazier with Majora's Mask, when you do the hide & seek games inside the moon to give the four kids your masks to get the Fierce Deity's Mask, they start to ask you philosophical questions that not only are really hard to answer with the way they ask them, but also really destroy the Fourth Wall. And when you confront Majora's Mask, the kid wearing it acts like he wants to play with you, which begs the question we've all pondered over and over: who is Majora? And what's his connection to his four minions when you encounter those kids inside of the moon?

@@mattiasolsson1523 is because the story is not focused on the main line, the true story unfolds within the side quests, those NPC told you the true story, there's only 4 dungeons yes but there's a lot more in the side quests, put attention to the dialogues and you will understand more of the story. In Majora's mask Link is not the chosen hero of the goddesses, he became the hero of the people by helping them not because it was his destiny but because it was the right thing to do.

@@Peregrino-kj8fz Still the main quest is more important and to be honest i say OOT do it better.

[@Peregrino-kj8fz]

@@mattiasolsson1523 yeah but the point in Majora's mask is that knowing all NPC's quests they feel more attached to link giving him a bigger reason to save them and protect them not just because he got tangled in their mess but because it was what a hero must do to protect those who has become his friends. Think about it, Link got a mask every time he helped someone from clock town, in every action Link became a sort of hero or friend who helped them when they needed him the most and as a token of friendship he carries those masks and in the end those masks gave Link access to the Fierce Deity mask and was able to eradicate the evil within the Majora's mask, so the story has more meaning than just the main quest.

TOTK at #8 is criminal!

[@dpackerman4203]

No it isn’t. Botw and Totk, being open world games, struggle at telling good stories because the plot isn’t allowed to progress. That’s why Skyward Sword’s story is high.

So glad there isn’t any recency bias here, and making BoTW or ToTK number one. MM definitely deserves the number one spot.

TWILIGHT PRINCESS GANG! BEST ZELDA EVER!

[@arnaul_de_lapras5853]

there's no way a link between worlds is that low

[@noahmayfield3410]

Skyward Sword was #4 and it was STILL too low 😑

[@ZeldaRooster]

Gonna garner some hate here, but Tears and Breath are too high on the list. When you actually get into storyline, those two games are rather lacking. Tears at least gives some story, but Breath doesn't give much at all.

[@classiccomicarcs]

TotK had a way better story than BotW in my opinion. Also, kind of crazy that Skyward Sword is above OoT and Windwaker... but glad to see MM at #1 where it belongs!

[@dpackerman4203]

I’m not surprised SS is that high. It’s the most linear game so the plot had the most potential because it could easily progress, unlike the open world titles’ stories. But yeah, Botw is way too high.

[@virgilvincentlam]

Twilight Princess and Majora's Mask are indeed the best. The darkest too.

[@dpackerman4203]

Remember when Aonuma said the next Zelda game, Totk, was going to be even darker than Majora’s Mask? Yeah, that was a lie lol

[@YoutubeBuam]

Majoras Mask: best video game of all time.

[@majincaveman2709]

Love to see the majoras mask love

[@michaelaxmann9428]

Spirit tracks is my fav

[@Leopez02]

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Spirit Track, The Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have The Best Stories so far, defienitily Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild are The 5 Best Zelda games just because their stories are awesome!
