Somehow I dont see SS being called magnificent when the next one comes out the only game that has grown over the years and is now starting to get appreciated is Majoras Mask because how Unorthodox it is compared to other Zelda's.It won Game of the decade at Gamefaqs and top Zelda games at IGN it came second to OOT.Wind waker still gets hate, Twilight Princess still gets hate and Skyward Sword will as well.

True, Majora's Mask was truly one of a kind. It went beyond gaming script and went into a much deeper level of storyline with many hidden meanings and drew many parallels to real life. It was a much darker entry without forcing the note, so it's something that at first we didn't notice, but ultimately we understood and that's why MM was lifted up. We'll see if there's something about SS we're not perceiving and will at a later date, but I truly doubt it.

The Zelda series has pretty much had a fixed FanBase for awhile now. Sure, there are some Zelda games that pop out of that mold due to it being extremely popularized (i.e. OoT and TP.) but the sales make sense in my opinion. 

On that topic, didn't people hate TP for awhile? Now people love TP (or at least like it) and hate on SS. Odd in my opinion.


They did?  O.o

That's odd. That games was epic throughout in my opinion.

Yes. I'm pretty sure it was largely hated on after the first few weeks. Possibly because it was so hyped? Maybe that is why people felt down about SS? Because it was so hyped?

And why they were bothered with Wind Waker, because despite the changes, it too was pretty hyped.

The Zelda cycle is more enduring than the Sonic Cycle.

The only real thing that was annoying IMHO was that the world was so NOT CONNECTED it was separate places and I HATE STUFF like this.

Nintendo somehow changes the good things and makes them stupid.In all of their series. I mean Mario 64 and Sunshine had this awesome world where you can walk around and jump into the levels. Mario Galaxy made a small change and made it rooms with a galaxy and you can choose between several levels.

Galaxy 2 messed it up and made it the TOTALLY BORING 2D MARIO LINES you can just move on Lines and chose between the levels BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.


Metroid Prime had an awesome world everything was connected and later in the series Prime 3 Corruption again had this boring system of everything being separate.

Zelda untill Skyward Sword was always an awesome world full of stuff to discover. And they again MESSED IT UP with creating several areas that in no way are connected to each other.

 THIS IMHO is destroying the games because its removing the Illusion of being a WORLD and makes it stupid levels.
 Plus Skyward Sword had no variety  i mean FIRE SAND AND FOREST?  

If your hating a game solely cause a game is not connected then your an idiot and in a small minority. Most people rate SMG2 over SMG because of how easy it is to access levels(I am also in this statistic).I also admire Nintendo for taking risks and trying news things here and there even though it doesnt always pan out Id rather they do that than being like CoD and releasing the same game over and over and over. It sounds to me like your just being a hater because all your critiscims have nothing really to do with the gameplay and rather just the level design.Just sayin

First of all thank you very much for insulting me.  

2.LEARN TO READ. I like Skyward Sword,Metroid Prime and the Mario Galaxy games.   I NEVER SAID I HATE THE GAMES.  I just hate this stupid  system of choosing levels that destroys the illusion of a world and unneccesarily pauses the game.   I dont care if its easier to chose levels if they are in a borring line or not. I want progress not regress. I dont want former good stuff to move away end of story.

Seriously IF i cant find a level in SMG 1 and need  lines  then I should visit school again  instead of playing video games as hard as SMG. I clearly lack the cognitive ability to FIND something without help. Are these people SAVANTs? You know they can beat hard levels but cant even do simple stuff like chosing a level  LOL?

 And what the hell does this have to do with  being risky and especially WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH COD??????? Mario Bros3 had those lines.  This has nothing to do with being risky its more like the other way around.   They have no time money or interest to make a world so they make lines. 

3. All people I KNOW dislike the lack of a connected world  in Metroid Mario and Zelda. 
No person I have ever spoken to besides YOU like that the worlds are not connected. So how the hell 
 do "Most people rate SMG2 over SMG" BECAUSE of the simple design?  And what STATISTICS show that I'm part of the minority? 
 
4. What the hell is wrong with you are you 12?  
All you did was you took my PERSONAL and also HUMBLE OPINION that I successfully substantiated with several examples and turned it into a "NINTENDO IS RISKY  ITS NOT LIKE COD  YOU ARE AN IDIOT BECAUSE I DONT SHARE YOUR OPINION  MESS OF A  COMMENT".

P.S. I ALSO LIKE NINTENDO FOR GIVING ZELDA AWESOME CUTSCENES (this was a risky change) but not for making games simpler which destroy the GAMEPLAY.

Dear community I am really sorry that my comment created such an Frankenstein reply that wastes your precious time  sorry for that.

You sounded like a troll thats why I insulted you.my bad. Im just trying to wrap my head around your bizarre method of thinking. One of the major critiscims of the first SMG by fans is the hub world making you take to long to enter a level some crtics said this as well. Look on other forums you will see what I mean. One of the cool things about SMG2 is it reverting to an overworld similiar to SMB3 and SMW cause I start the game BAM go straight to the level I dont have to dilly dally around in a hubworld not to say that I hate that and thats another thing you talk about immersion. Who in the hell plays a Mario game for immersion? Metroid & Zelda yip I can see but Mario man. Mario games are just suppose to be fun period! thats it. If your looking for immersion in a Mario game I think your playing the wrong game dude. I dont think a connected world necessarily makes or breaks a game thats all Im sayin I prefer Prime 3 over Prime 2 and Prime 2 has a connected world but it is a lesser game than Prime 3.All Im saying if a world is connected or not it shouldnt make a game bad or good.

Zelda Oot is by far the worst 3D Zelda
