Around the Network

No poll? Anyways, my favorite handheld Zelda is OoT:3D :p

EDIT: nvm the poll, is there now



Hmm depends.. remakes wise I love the new OOT 3D... it is awesome... as far as originals.. I don't know why.. but Link's Awakening has always been my favorite.. maybe it's because it feels more like a classic Zelda . then the others.. I am not saying the others are bad.. but Link's Awakening just had that charm.. you love from Zelda.. that.. spark that made it magic when you played it..there is only one Zelda I liked better and that was/is OOT,.



Nintendo Wii by generations...

1. Wii

2. Wii U

3. Wii O U

Predictions made by gamers concerning the current Nintendo line up of games.

Pikmen 3= Little Bump to nothing. (Got Little Bump)

Wind Waker HD= Won't sell anything (The explosion happened here and at one time 4 Wii U games was in the Amazon top 100)

Super Mario 3D World= Won't help at all looks cheap. (Currently the most sought after Wii U game and continuing the Wii U increase.)

Also +1 for Link's Awakaning for the chomp chomp^^



Oracle of Seasons is definately my favorite handheld Zelda games. I have had quite some memories with the game. Even if we count the handheld titles including the remakes, Oracle of Seasons still remain as my favorite of them.
However the wrst in my opinion is Oracle of Ages.

Easily Link's Awakening.

The game is amazing. It beats it's console brother of the time (and all but one after that). The only other handheld game I hold to a higher regard than a console game is Spirit Tracks. A lot of people do not seem to realize this, but Link's Awakening introduced many elements in the Zelda series that are now the standard. Also, it has the deepest story of any Zelda game. Everyone should play Link's Awakening.
I'm indifferent towards the Oracle games but like them more than Phantom Hourglass. I do not think highly of Minish Cap and Four Swords (as Zelda games).

Exactly .



Link's Awakening DX. Still to this day, my very most favourite game ever. :)
The game is literally just perfect in every way, considering the time and system it was released on.
The graphics and music are fantastic. So many memorable tunes (in fact I VASTLY prefer LA's music over SS's).
The storyline is incredibly deep, sweet and sad. The game does a perfect job of making the player really feel like they're alone, stranded on an alien island with strange mysteries to uncover and solve. Great puzzles, fantastic dungeons, and clever fights and bossfights. Also, very memorable characters!
Also, the controls are very, very comfy!

To me, it easily beats LTTP, as well as the 3D Zeldas. Let alone its handheld brethren.

Home consoles only by far.



This is a hard one, Link's Awakening was my first Zelda game ever and has an unique feel very different from other Zelda games but the others are just as great... I think the best is LA or PH.



Link's Awakening is definitely my favorite, but I liked the Oracle games and Minish Cap too.

The DS games weren't as good, but it was the mandatory touch controls that I HATED.

And while not an original handheld Zelda, the Ocarina of time remake is superb.
