I am now, however, rather intrigued by The Legend of Zelda, due to the massive hype this series gets. What pushed my interest in this series over the edge is how beautiful the upcoming game looks. So, I have a couple questions. 1. Bc there appears to be so many offshoot Zelda games, what are the staple games in the series--the games I absolutely must play in order to enjoy and understand playing thru the upcoming/new Zelda game for Wii U? The less games the better, here. I already have such a big games backlog:/ 2. If I were to buy a Wii U, am I able to play all the staple games in the Zelda series on the Wii U? If not, what are my options? (Also, is Wii U BC with the Wii?) 3. Is there any other controller I can use to play on the Wii U? That effing thing seems so awful. 4. Are the Zelda games really so long???? I looked up some of the games on howlongtobeat.com, and they typically range from 15-30hrs! Is this accurate?? If so, it would be quite overwhelming to hop into this series at this point:( |
1. Best Zelda games for start are Ocarina of Time 3D or Zelda Wind Waker HD.

In the Wii U, you can play: - The Legend of Zelda - Adventure of Link - A Link to the Past - Ocarina of Time (via Wii VC) - Majora's Mask (via Wii VC) - The Wind Waker (Remade for Wii U) - Twilight Princess ( via backwards compability) - Skyward Sword ( via backwards compability) Half of the series is currently available on the Wii U, the only that are not available are the handheld ones that may change when the DS virtual console hits the Wii U, and the possiblity of Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks appearing there. |
3. Maybe "That effing thing seems so awful" but it pretty comfortable and have good use in Zelda Wind Waker HD.
4. Depends of your play style, I beat last 3 Zelda game that I played in around 40 hours, Twihilight Princess, Skward Sword and Wind Waker HD, I hope that will for Zelda U need at least 50 hours. :)
