No but seriously, if you want to get started now, your best bet would be to get a Wii U. You should try out A Link to the Past and if you like its style, you're ready for more 2D action.

I also recommend Wind Waker (HD).If you get the hang of that game and also like/love it, you won't be let down by other entries of the series.

Try every 3D Zelda game.............except Twilight Princess! That one was lackluster!

Zelda has lost its charm. It was innovative game at past (ocarina of time). But time has passed. There are much better games now. Recent entries are showing degrading quality. Example, skyward sword. That game was very linear, villages were almost empty, no voice acting and tiring controls made it clear zelda series is out of focus. Play n64 versions (those are masterpiece) and you wont need to play any zelda after that. This game series is quite overrated now a days.

but Skyward sword was so much like link to the past... linear, easy...


Whoa buddy, you're treading dangerous ground there. 

linke to the past wasnt such a good game. sure it was cool to have zelda on the snes. but it had so big problems.. zelda is about exploring the world. the first one did that great and WW did that realy great, the n64 did that good too.  and even the (early)handheld zeldas did that okay

Yeah, especially since you can literally explore everywhere you want from the moment you step outside your house right?

The Wind Waker did come bundled with my Wii U but I haven't touched it yet...should I actually try to play it?


Yes! Yes you absolutely should!!!

You don't sound all that sure about that :)

Ok. I'll start it up and start playing sometime tomorrow and see if it's any good. I have watched people play tons of Zelda's (ALTTP, OOT, MM, TWW, TP, and SS) in the past but like I said never actually played any myself. (but those 20 minutes of OOT)

I'm gonna be honest though. I'm not the best at non-simple games. I will likely get lost and quit just like when I attempted M Prime 3...

You have a 3DS. First play A Link Between Worlds, then Ocarina of Time 3D. If you decide to get a Wii U instead, Wind Waker is the greatest Zelda ever created, and everything else will feel like a let down after that.

Umm NOPE. It's a very good one but OoT, Majora's Mask, Link to the Past, Oracle games, and TP are all better Zelda games. I'm still deciding on where ALBW stands. Some people overrate Wind Waker way too high. 

OT - Virtual Console is your friend at this point. On 3DS, you can find both NES games and all GameBoy games, plus the newest Zelda game. If you have an older DS model, you can play Minish Cap on that. Getting a Wii will allow you to play A Link to the Past, OoT, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword right out of the box.

So in short, I would get a used Wii for really cheap.

Thanks for the replies. I'll probably get a WiiU then, but I'll wait fot another price drop, I think.

Also, there's no "compilation disk" where I live.

I'll buy OoT 3DS to begin with.


dude get Link's awakening for 3ds vitural console it is the best to start with.

Get a 3DS XL with Ocarina of Time 3D. Great place to start.
