Sorry if it becomes a little cliché, but I just wanted to know what zelda game you like best. If there's already a discussion (dead or alive) 'bout this, please lemme know (in a subtle way, Gamer)

I voted for Wind Waker. If you wanna kill me I won't hinder you guys. Just find me. ;P

My reasons:

-I enjoy sailing on that vast ocean
-the graphics are kinda cool
-the soundtrack is beautiful
-epic boss battle (too easy though)

I' probably the only one voting that game.  8)

I actually like WW a lot too, but MM has a special place in my heart.

Not sure which is the best, but Majora's Mask must be my favorite. Its apocalyptic theme and wonderful soundtrack remain fresh in my mind after all those years.

For me it's prolly a tossup between Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

Squadalah, Swordomar

"The Legend of Zelda: Wand of Gamelon" is a Zelda game released for the Philips CD-i in 1993. It's one of those games that make most Zelda fans vomit in disgust at how it portrayed Link which was similar to how he was portrayed in the cartoons about him. It also made Nintendo pull the rights to making Zelda games from Philips because of the fans overall opinions of the games and the games were eliminated from the canon and fans try to deny it's existence. Believe it or not Nintendo was considering a deal with Sony at this time before the deal with Philips (Sony's Rival). That brief time that Nintedo and Sony spent together created the product which we all know as PlayStation.

If all of you are wondering what I choose...(processing)...Majora's Mask ≥ Ocarina of Time
I also don't like the CD-i games because I agree with other fans about the games (not the magazines' opinion). I've also seen the cartoons of The Legend of Zelda and its rather "cheesy" and its bad.

The(?) Twilight Princess.

Well, anyway. I voted for twilight princess because it was lengthy, fun, and it had a good soundtrack. I'm sure I would like OoT or MjM more if I had ever finished them.

OoT, since it's the first Zelda game I ever finished. And even after all those years, it's still awesome to beat the game again.

It really is, indeed.

On my blog, I covered some Zelda-games during the past few months. I rated them as following:
QuoteThe Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past (SNES, 1991) ~ 9/10
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (GB, 1993) ~ 9/10
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (NDS, 2007) ~ 6/10
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii, 2006) ~ 8/10

MM and OOT were good, but I like MM better, oh and WW takes a close third.

To be perfectly honest, I've never finished a Zelda game. For me, it's a toss-up between OoT and TP. Ocarina of Time is awesome in every way, but Twilight Princess can be a good time-killer when I time myself riding from Ordon Village to the Zora's Domain for no apparent reason. :P

Never played all that much of the others, though.  :-[

Twilight Princess was the 1st Zelda game that Ive dedicated my precious life to finish it. Excellent graphs, gameplay, story, soundtrack, missions. And the final was also good.
Ive also played many Zelda games, like OoT and Majora's Mask, but I never had patience to finish them...

I voted Ocarina of Time, but I think I have to go with Majora's Mask, to be honest.

Majora's Mask may have been a bit shorter than Ocarina of Time in terms of the main story and dungeons, but what it lacked there it made up for in side missions, minigames, and character depth.  I absolutely love the soundtrack too and really need to get around to learning more of the music on piano - since my book has been shipped and is coming in any day now, I'll have a lot of fun with that - and many times find myself just standing in an area to hear the music (the Clock Tower especially).  I just love everything about the game.  Getting the masks is still an incredibly fun thing and the effects many of them have are really cool.  I also love the gilded sword, such a cool weapon.

Basically, yea, everything is amazing in that game.  Zelda at its all-time best, in my opinion.

God, I need to play that game again, it's been far too long.

Try to find the Legend of Zelda cartoons. A piece of Zelda gaming history all must watch (even if you don't like it at the end).
