im playing the 3ds version, the camera feels waay off, when you have to aim that slingshot it feels awkward, and the combat doesnt feel right. im not too far only just finshed the first dungeon with those spiders. but its left such a poor impression i dunno if i can go back. those 2d zeldas look more my thing.


Yeah...that makes sense. I only played the 3DS version because I loved the original so much. That version isn't a good entry point. You may want to try Link to the Past or Wind Waker. Or the N64 OoT.

I dont like the word overrated all that much because of the implication that other person's opinions are less valid because of the opinions of someone else. Thoguh I do know that there are times when the word is indeed valid. I dunno ifthis is one of those times though.


I do. I think that since OoT, there have been so many improvements to the franchise that OoT feels like a relic today. Something like Wind Waker HD, for all it's flaws, doesn't feel like an old game. OoT 3D, for all it's improvements, still does. I think that OoT is an extremely important game and nothing can take that away from it, but I have a feeling that most people who consider OoT the best in the series experienced it as one of the first games they'd ever played, and there for it was a more nostalgic experience, combined with it's immense quality, that doesn't allow them to see that it's gotten better.

It's like when people say that Pokemon Red and Blue are the best Pokemon games. They aren't even close. If someone new to the franchise where to play every game (in their most recent form) in order today, most of them would have Firered and Leafgreen at the bottom, and most of them would have OoT3D near the bottom. Games have gotten better since the ninty's.

Even I, who feels like TP is the least original and is my least favorite Zelda, think it's structurally better than OoT in almost every imaginable way. It controls better. It looks b-... It has a larger and more interesting selection of items. It has a better Link. It has a better companion. It has a larger world. It has better dungeons. It has better bosses. It has less heart, but if it was the first Zelda game I played, I couldn't imagine playing OoT and liking it better. It's just more modern. TP will age much better than OoT ever could.



Did anyone vote for Links Crossbow Training? A classic



I had to vote for the original LoZ, too little love is given this game! I hope the new one is very much like the first game, that could make it THE best Zelda game yet.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

A Link to the Past, not only the best Zelda game ;)

My favourite 3D Zelda is Wind Waker (HD), but tastes are different, lol.

My first Zelda game, before I new that it was considered "hard." I have a special fondness for it, and none have quite yet recaptured it's magic.

So what you've been saying, is that you didn't get the chills when Ganon came out of the rubble? 



Okami!
Erm I mean Wind waker, followed by Oot.



Link: Faces of Evil is definitely up there.

Yeah while I was playing it I felt it'd have alot more fun playing it with a controller.
