I like how much effort some people put into this. I'll just say why each game is on my list and what I liked about it.
#50: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
This is the second Zelda game for the Nintendo DS from 2009. Back when it released I was just 7 years old. It was like Phantom Hourglass but with some things better and others worse.
I have massive nostalgia for this game. While looking back it looks like total shit, back in the day it looked great for the little boy who had never seen an HD game yet. I spend countless hours 100%ing the game over and over again. Catching every rabbit, completing all train tracks on the map and getting all train parts. The demon trains and the huge monsters chasing me in the tunnels were nightmare fuel. The game never got boring nor repetetive. It always threw something new at me. Like the section where you need to protect the guy from the pirates.
The villains and story were great and it had the third best iteration of Zelda after Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild. The final boss fight with the dark world section before that is the best part of the game. The soundtrack is phenomenal with some really great track (no pun intended), especially when driving the train. I always liked how it changed with the speed of the train. The only part I didn't like was playing the flute with the Lokomo, I constantly messed it up and had to restart.
It's a great game and an important part of my childhood. |
Spirit Tracks is great, a very underrated game. I think it suffered from the lukewarm reception Phantom Hourglass got back then, but it's actually leagues apart. I liked Spirit Tracks's world, which was pretty big with lots of secrets actually, the game's dungeons, control scheme and the soundtrack. |
Yeah, it sadly sold alot worse than Phantom Hourglass. Although I liked Phantom Hourglass more (yes, it's also in my top 50), Spirit Tracks is very special to me.
