Which is why Link's Awakening is my favorite Zelda.


Nah, Links Awakening was easy bash, imo...or my gaming skills got better over time. I played ALTTP in elementary school, LA in grammar school/junior high.

See, I first played Link's Awakening when I was seven, so maybe that made the difference.

My very first Zelda game was Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, which is why it's got a soft spot in my heart. Got halfway through that game at 5 years old.

Then came the original Zelda, which I just didn't understand. A Link To The Past was around 7 or 8.

Then Zelda: OoT when I was in Middle School. LA and MM came around High School. Wind Waker was my senior year. Twilight Princess was maybe a year or two ago, and I haven't beaten it yet.

Never played Oracle of Ages, Seasons, Minish Cap or Phantom Hourglass. Or the CD-i games... but then I'm missing nothing.

I swear, if you don't stop talking about the CD-i games like they're part of the series, I'm gonna reach through the internet and slap you Laughing

I played the first three around the same time (around 6-7) and then got Link's Awakening a year later. Every other Zelda I played on or shortly after it's US release.

EDIT: You should play the Oracles, but pass on MC and PH. Neither were that noteworthy. Plus, the Oracles were made by Capcom (and were challenging)

Who the hell am I talking to? Confused

The guy who tells me I absolutely must get a Nintendo DS tells me I should pass on the one Zelda game for the DS? Laughing

So I've heard. I'm just not a huge fan of the DS controls honestly. Tried playing Call of Duty on the DS... Epic Fail.

Actually, that was the only thing that made it remotely good.

@Jason: Well, the DS is amazing, but for good games. You know...

Games that aren't titled Zelda: Craptastic Hourglass: Now With More Hand-Holding!

Refer to the new thread I am about to make on this very subject. (In General Gaming, of course)

The controls had nothing to do with it. PH's only real failing was that it was easy. Short dungeons and such (most could be done in an hour).
