Favorite game: Wind Waker
Favorite Dungeon: City in the Sky
Favorite Boss: Stallord

Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda (Twilight Princess as a close second) but it's probably the least replayable. I loved it on the first run because everything was new and I like the sense of adventure in sailing, but it doesn't hold up on replays, sadly. They should have added more warp points or something.

Yeah, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are hard to replay for me because of how slow they start out. Ocarina and Majora were great in this regard though, and hopefully Skyward Sword's intro isn't too plodding.

If I had said 12, I would've added that one. My favourite BGM in Oracle of Seasons. ;)

I'll add the Spirit Tracks title theme and Spirit Tracks Overworld theme.

I am sad to say that I haven't played Ages, though. I've played all the games, even the CD-i ones (on my cousin's CD-i, the controllers were the worst things ever, and I would recommend that no one play these ever), but I haven't played that one.

omg I keep forgetting how good of a soundtrack Spirit Tracks has. <3

Phantom Hourglass was a huge letdown for me in every way possible and since my expectations were so low for the sequel Spirit Tracks kinda blew me away, not gonna lie.

You should listen to the IGN podcast from two days ago and the Evolution of Storytelling article from yesterday, they talk a good deal about the opening hours in terms of pacing and directly compare it to TP and how its basically the best opening hours in a 3D Zelda doing everything right which TP got wrong.

That's because PH's music was pretty bad for the most part with a little bit of themes that stood out. Like... "I put on another soundtrack while playing it" bad.

Actually, this wouldn't be a bad idea. You can experience the soundtrack and beautiful background art! :D

The Wind Waker, silly. Unless you're all Zelda'd out.

I approve. I should really continue my 3-heart run of Master Quest in OoT 3D...

BUT IT'S SO HARRRRRRD

I don't think so. ALttP just comes after Twilight Princess. All Nintendo has to do is make a game in between them explaining how Ganon was re-sealed back in the Sacred Realm, or you could just assume his "death" at the end of Twilight Princess forced his spirit back there.

Link's Awakening is already officially stated by NCL on the LA DX website it is a direct sequel to ALttP, so that's never been an issue (though people saying games happen between ALttP and LA has been a hot topic).

Zelda 1 is just many, many years after ALttP/LA, when magic isn't as common place, and the realm where ancient Hyrule was is in ruins (people moved away to other areas, as indicated in the Zelda II map). Zelda II is a sequel. The backstory of Zelda II is an event that happened post ALttP/LA, but pre-LoZ. I never understood why that "Legend of Zelda" tale had to be the "original" Zelda. Some princesses born in Hyrule before this event probably were not called Zelda. Only those destined to become the guardians of the Triforce of Wisdom took up that name, or at least, took that name in ceremonial fashion. After the Zelda II backstory event, all of them were named Zelda, regardless of if they were destined for that role.

TMC still boggles my mind. If anything, the CAPCOM games are poison. Oracles can sort of be said to happen either after ALttP or after Zelda II (Triforce is unified and in Hyrule proper and not the Sacred Realm, which only could have happened in the ending of ALttP or Zelda II). FSA is also a weird one. So visually connected to ALttP and OoT, but so many issues.

Zelda I and II could follow after Wind Waker which would explain why Hyrule is so empty because it was washed away, and why everything has moved North of the old area. Ganondorf is still encased in stone, so could become free, and go after the Triforce once more. However it had already been split into three by the Prince who cursed Zelda to sleep. So this explains why he got the Triforce of Power, and so went after Wisdom, but the Prince had hidden Courage away.

Zelda Oracles follows Zelda II - The Triforce is united, in a palace in Hyrule. Ganon is ashes and his followers are trying to revive him with Zelda's blood.

Link's Awakening follows Zelda Oracles, as you see him sail off on a boat, "In search for more troubles arising from Ganon's ashes"

AHAHAH Thanks for sharing this!

I'd love to take a seat and enjoy the party, but I'm on a SS blackout and I already saw too much in the first page :(

but part of this thread's creation was because of us SS black-outers who want to talk zelda without being spoiled.

Ok, I figure this is the right place for this. Playing through LoZ on my 3DS. I'm stuck in the 4th level. I think I'm missing something but I'm not sure.

Can someone give me a hint, tip, advice?

I should really give Seasons/Ages another chance. Never even got past the third dungeon in Seasons.

Also, if you're not doing the sidequests first in MM before hitting up Woodfall, you're doing it wrong. :mad:
