| pitzy272 said: Okay, so I've never been a Nintendo gamer. Even back to the Sega Genesis vs. NES days, I owned the Genesis. 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. As many have said, each game stands along. So it doesn't matter where you start. Since it my favorite franchise I say play them all.
2. There are several games available for the U. Man I can't wait for the U version in November.
3. Many options here. Although the pad is the best option for me with what it offers. Plus it's way more comfortable than given credit for. Far more than the awful PlayStation controllers. The DS4 is an improvement over past Sony controllers. The U pad is criticized more by people who haven't used it than people who have.
4. I guess it mostly depends on how familiar you are with Zelda games. But you get your money's worth.
