The Zelda Franchise has been hailed as one if not the greatest adventure series of all time, but is that still the case VGchartz? Megaman.2. Investigates. This thread is based on the peformance of this gen, not looking at previous installment. The focus is on this Generation
This gen Zelda faces very stiff competition indeed, Uncharted series has been hailed as the greatest adventure series of all time. With Uncharted 2 being cited as one of the greatest games by gamers and critics alike. Uncharted 2 has raised considerably for all action/adventure games as Insomniac said it perfectly "Naughty Dog raised the game development bar with Uncharted 2". Uncharted Series is set to go from strength to strenght, yet this Generation there has been only one Zelda game which was port of a Gamecube game. With Naughty Dog able to release The Uncharted series on 2-year basis, one must wonder why there has been so little Zelda Wii this Gen.
With the release of the Last Guardian in 2010, Im not sure if you recall but I made a comparison thread not so long ago between Zelda and Team Ico Games. These games are always battling for the 'Title' of greatest adventure game, and this battle is sure to continue in 2010. Hopefully in 2010 we will see the release of the new Zelda game on the Wii console.
I just played 5 chapters of Uncharted 2 and let me tell you this game has raised to bar so high, its dangerous even to try and match what Naughty Dog have achieved. Truly a game on another level, however I hope the New ZeldaGame is a match for Uncharted 2. Whether that is the case only time will tell!

I dont know the specifics, but i'm, pretty sure nintendo is a bigger company then Naughty Dog so they work on alot more then just one game.
Also i'm sure uncharted and uncharted 2 are fantastic games, if i had a ps3 i would definatley get them. Unfortunatley i have a xbox and i'm stuck with the brownoverload that is gears of war.
But still greatest adventure game "of all time" is going a bit overboard. I mean the franchise has been out for what 2-3 years next thing you know Epic Games releases Gears of Wars Chronicles: The Story of Cole Train. An Adventure game that spans several interconnected storys and bla bla bla you have whatever you want in an andventure game and bam, "Best Adventure game of all time"..."bu-but just 2 months ago uncharted was the best..."
Seems like every game above 90% is "Truly a game on another level". Didnt people praise Batman Arkham Asylum, for raising the bar and being on another level?
