Mine would be Occarina of Time because it introduced me to the series.

      Definitely one of my favorites! I’ve been playing Zelda games since the OG Legend of Zelda on NES, and Wind Waker, particularly the HD remake left me with that really great sense of big world adventure. It was this game that pushed me to get a full sleeve tattoo themed completely around Wind Waker! It’s currently in progress and almost complete. Maybe a few more sessions to get it done. Such a great game!

        Not publicly, but I will tell you we bought a pile of silk stargazer lillies and hand painted all of them to look like silent princesses. All of the floral was otherwise white, so it was very striking.

    a link to the past

    i never got into the 3d Zelda games. after playing so long in 2d it just fundamentally changed things into a different game to go 3d. it doesn’t scratch the same itch

    Tears of the Kingdom is my favorite, and before that it was BOTW. Third favorite goes to OOT or ALTTP.

    I played only Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, BotW and TotK. Among these, I must say TotK is my favorite.

    All games are memorable in their own way but I’m a sucker for open world and immersive sim and TotK scratches all my itches. There are somethings I liked more on BotW (story/characters and dungeons) but the new toys and much expanded map more than makes up for it.

    Majora’s Mask easily, followed closely by Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time, and Twilight Princess.

    The classic style Zelda formula (that was introduced in the OG Zelda and then refined to perfection in ALTTP and OoT) is perfect and didn’t need to be changed up.

    For nostalgic reasons, mine is also Ocarina of Time, for sure. Majora’s Mask is a close second.

    I think Tears of The Kingdom is my favorite gameplay-wise.

    The Link’s Awakening remake gets an honorable mention, cause that game is amazing.

    Ocarina of time was awesome, my first proper 3D Zelda. However they are all awesome. Windwaker was underrated in my opinion, and the new ones are awesome if in a different way.

    Ocarina was my first and absolutely loved it and MM

    I was always torn as to weather my fav was ocarina or breath of the wild - but now I’ll say confidently that my fav Zelda game is tears of the kingdom - I’m 90 hours in and feel like I haven’t gotten that far through the whole game but I’m having a blast ⚡⚡⚡

      Tears of the Kingdom does have a nasty habit of sucking all of your time in exchange for fun. I’m amazed at how fun it is to play this game.

        I finally finished the main story but still have SO much to do and every time I play, I look at the time and wonder how the hell it became 5am so quickly!

    Mine would be Links Awakening (the original one on Game Boy). It was the first one I played. As a portable Zelda game, it was awesome. The story was good and the game played really well. I also tried the DX version and that was great too.

      Did you play the one on the Switch ? If so, what did you think about it ? I only played the new one on the Switch and it played very well, but I wondered what someone who played the original would think.

        I never played the one on the switch. I played the game boy versions only. Even then, they were great.

    Growing up I played ALttP and OoT, then later I really got into TP, and then as an adult I did the same with BOTW. But then I played ALBW and that’s when Zelda finally clicked to me and I became a fan of the series. Went back to play and finish the other games with the newfound love of the series, but ALBW is still my favorite. I really love OoT, MM and TP now too, though.

    To avoid recency bias, I’m going to not say Tears of the Kingdom and say Breath of the Wild, which is my all-time favorite video game. Not counting the newest game, my top 5 are:

    1. Breath of the Wild
    2. Wind Waker HD
    3. A Link to the Past
    4. The Legend of Zelda
    5. Twilight Princess

    Either BotW or TotK. I believe those games are absolutely incredible. It’s designed so wonderfully! Everything in the game just makes sense.

    Though I never fully played through them, OoT and MM have big nostalgia for me from watching my friends play them as a kid.

    Ocarina was my introduction so it will always have a place in my heart but it has to be Wind Waker! Just, everything, the story, the aesthetic, the music, it’s all so perfect and gives me a warm happy place feeling. I wish so badly that it was more loved in the community (it received a lot of hate at the time) and I wish we could have seen the cut content and how different the story would have been.
