Best Zelda game every produced, I'm glad to hear it's holding up well for more recent Zelda fans.

 

More recent Zelda fans? Did you miss the "Adventures of Link" part?



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

a Link to the Past, Street Fighter II and Super Mario World were the top games in the early Snes era. aLttP is perhaps the best classic to be released in the action-rpg genre. Mainly because of the openended nature of the game. '2D sandbox light'. It beats the crap out of Secret of Mana and ChronoTrigger (try'em out!). If you keep on playing all the Zelda games, you will end up having some sort of Zelda fatique. Good Luck though.

Interesting. So far the only Zelda games I've liked are Majora's Mask and Oracle of Seasons/Ages.

Really? You liked the most obscure Zelda titles the most? Interesting...

I'm playing it right now on a GBA rerelease. This game is just perfect! I'm so sucked in. I just rescued the second maiden and I'm trying to find a way back to the forest in the dark world. Just about everything in this game nails it. You'll be so damn confused about what to do, but just before you're ready to quit and check a walkthrough, it hits you what to do.

 

This will be the third Zelda game I'll have beaten after Ocarina and Adventures of Link. And so far I love it just as uch as the other two versions.

 

Zelda rules...

 


Most definitely. It's funny, though, to hear you talk about needing a walkthrough and getting lsot in places. LttP was the first Zelda game I owned, and my favorite game (at the time--Suprer Metroid holds up a little better for me these days) for the SNES. I beat it something like 30 times--doing both the thing of going for 100% completion and getting 000 "games" at the end (I don't think I'm giving anything away to tell you it keeps track of both how many times you die and how many times you quit the game, and adds those up at the end to give you a number of "games" you played). The thought of not having the entire game memorized seems strange and very distant to me--I envy your ability to experience the game for the first time.

This is the first time you play the game? And loving it after playing Ocarina? Wow, that's really cool to hear. Give me high hopes Chrono will be very well received even after all this years and many other RPG follow the Chrono's formula. =)

Have you played all of them, or is that the only Zelda games you've liked of a small subset you've played?

Majora's Mask might be my favorite Zelda as well--that or Ocarina. I think the time mechanic of Majora is brillaintly executed, and makes the game feel fresh and different from the standard model even to this day. I might change my mind again, because as much as I liked Twilight Princess, the lingering disappointment of how similar it is to Ocarina gave me an renewed appreciation of how different MM and Windwaker are while still being, at their hearts, Zelda games.

Yea, best game on the SNES and probably the best game ever created along side with Ocarina of Time.

I just can't explain the level of perfection achieved in both games, I didn't find any other game ever that inmersed me into the story and the characters that well. Enjoy this masterpiece.

@GamingChartzFTW: I agree 100% with you; ALttP, SF2 and SMW were the best games on the SNES.

I just got it on the VC. It's the only console Zelda I haven't played, and I will be starting it shortly.

And how can you profess to be a gamer, proclaim that Zelda rules, and yet only have played three Zelda games!?!

oot is the best game!!!!
