Rank your favorite Zelda games!

[S.Peelman]

Ah yes. Another opportunity to tell you guys what the only true ranking of Zelda games is. Zelda, factually the greatest gaming franchise of all time. Gaming? Maybe even all of media. Could very well be. I’ve shoved the following list down people’s throats here on VGC so many times now, that some of you may actually know it.

Anyway, I have all the games including the spinoffs in their original form and all their rereleases (except the CDi games, but someday, those’ll be mine as well), and completed all of them in their original form except for Four Swords Adventures, which I’ll leave off. I also won’t include the spinoffs;

1. Ocarina of Time
2. Link’s Awakening
3. Breath of the Wild
4. Twilight Princess
5. Majora’s Mask
6. A Link to the Past
7. Skyward Sword
8. The Wind Waker
9. A Link Between Worlds
10. Spirit Tracks
11. The Legend of Zelda NES
12. Oracle of Ages
13. Oracle of Seasons
14. Adventure of Link
15. Phantom Hourglass
16. The Minish Cap
17. Four Swords
18. Triforce Heroes

I assume Four Swords Adventures falls between The Minish Cap and Four Swords, I need to play it soon.

Ocarina of Time remains the greatest; the original was perfect, the remake is as well. Breath of the Wild rekindled the hope that new games can in fact again be good, it’s absolutely excellent. Th Wind Waker is the weakest of the 3D Zelda games, but still okay. It’s remaster actually made me look upon it more favorably, before it I ranked it below Spirit Tracks. The original NES game still holds up, and it and the other classic styled 2D games besides the exceptional A Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening are similarly good. From Phantom Hourglass down things become more sketchy. The Minish Cap is a mediocre Zelda game, multiplayer Zelda doesn’t work and Triforce Heroes is, even when not comparing to other Zelda games, is terrible.
