@emma @Weeble tears of the kingdom is such a massive improvement over botw. i'm so sunk into it.
my first zelda game was wind waker. it's my favorite because i fucking love toon link lol he's just hilarious. if it didn't have the damn triforce quest i'd love it a lot more, honestly i always skip it with cheats when i replay it. tears of the kingdom might have a similar problem to breath of the wild, where the first run through was absolutely amazing but when i tried to play it again i just couldn't bring myself to keep playing after the great plateau sucked all of the life out of me. wind waker has enough charm to carry it completely, i love that game and have replayed it several times. i realize that it's probably not as good of a game as breath of the wild though, not anywhere close. just has higher replay value for me.
vinny vinesauce's favorite zelda game is unironically zelda 2 lol, he plays it every year on thanksgiving.
twilight princess fans just hating wind waker and that's why it is their favorite game is really fucking accurate lol. i've tried to play twilight princess so many times but the intro drags on forever and you have to herd those fucking goats... then you're ripped away from playing as link and have to play as a wolf. just not fun imo. it does have some great level design later on and the music is awesome as well (not as good as WW but no zelda is).
honestly, i hated minish cap. it felt chock full of bullshit and the whole fusing mechanic was really annoying. i can get why some people do like it but i was not a fan.
never played the oracle games. i own link's awakening DX and have picked it up several times and just never really gotten into it, so i always assumed that would be the same thing for the oracles.
