General Zelda Discussion (and Best Zelda Poll)

Actually how old is Tetra as she is captaining a pirate ship.

Tetra's actually 52. Collagen is rife on the high seas of Hyrule.

So this has just been posted on GT.

I kinda want to hate that list but the main man behind it is a huge Zelda fan but does hate (he's said it his self) a Zelda of certain style. So I'm not happy where they put a certain title and it might because of his hate but as all Zelda's are very very good, it's hard to place any above any.

I don't care much about any individual's list of Zelda games. They're good enough and (no matter what other console fanboys may say) sufficiently different enough that my order is very unlikely to match anyone else's, and that I don't care much.

You control a fairy in the two DS games.

You might of seen but NL has posted the results of the Top 10 Zelda games vote in a nice video.

They want a HD remake of one title all ready.

WOW! Asking for that HD remake (sorry if any of you's want it) is beyond dumb, this is why devs/publishers are so eager to give us the same games multiple times because most of us lap it up.

As for the list I'd have the likes of Link's awakening & ALBW a lot higher than they were.

Yeah I don't get the need for Skyward Sword, as Wii U is BC.

Twilight Princess maybe on the next system or something  as that has aged a bit.

I don't know how many people voted jas but I think top 2 is right.

Of course you would, you 2D-Zelda-crazed loony.  That said, which do you prefer, Jas? LttP or ALBW?

Oohh that's a real tough one, I've not played through LttP in years (probably more than 10 in fact) so its not fresh in my mind like ALBW is, now this might be all nostalgia here but I'd have to pick LttP.

I thought you'd say that! I can't agree - LttP felt old when I played it on the GBA, and it's certainly not going to feel fresher now. But it's certainly the more challenging of the two, and I imagine that you rate that more highly than I do.

I had a weird thought last night there's the live action Zelda coming and I've got weird thoughts that it could look like Twilight Princess. On Twilight Princess it will be 10 years old next year and seeing the Zelda Universe series seems to be annualised now.

Would a 10th Anniversary Version of TP make sense maybe for New 3DS and gives us a Zelda for 2016.

Also ages ago when the timeline was announced two of my friends and me planned to play the timeline in order, we kinda needed a 4th person so they can play the pre split.

Pre-Split Skyward Sword, The Minish Cap, Four Swords and Ocarina of Time
Hero Defeated A Link to the Past, Oracle of Ages/Seasons, Links Awakening, A Link Between Worlds, Zelda and Adventure of Link
Child Era Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, Four Swords Hyrule Adventure
Adult Era Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks

I think I was doing Child Era even though I've never really played MM but looking at them I would kinda like to play the Pre-Split, what about you guys if you had to go for 1 of the 4, I know which one Jas will go for.

TP is my favourite Zelda, and one of my favourite games of all time, as well as (due to looking ugly as sin) a game that could do with prettying up. That said, my answer is still "no". More new games please!

Without a doubt it'd need to be the games under the hero defeated section, however my second favourite Zelda game (The Minish cap) is under pre-split.

I am ashamed to admit this, but I have in one way or another, every Zelda game (some in multiple formats) and I have never ever finished a single game. I haven't even gone close. I keep promising to complete one, start it then stop. Wind Waker is the longest I have gone at about 5 hours. In a lot of respects, if I am honest with myself, I want to like it more than I actually do, but I do like it, so I must really want to like it.

I'd go adult era as Wind Waker is my favorite game in the series

Wind Waker is my fav but I wouldn't want to play the two DS games.

@Balla new games would be good but a new Zelda 2016 unlikely maybe Hyrule Warriors 2, but just seems so easy to get the port team that are doing Xenoblade port on New 3DS to port the GameCube (Proper version) of Twilight Across. It surely would be easy money for Nintendo.

Yeah the DS games overly great but I'd still go through them

Surprisingly, it's the Child Era for me: I want to beat Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess, and replaying any Four Swords is always worthwhile.

It's a tough choice for me, since one of my favourite Zeldas is in every era (OoT, ALBW, TP, WWHD). I think pre-split is my choice, just: OoT and Minish Cap outweight the mediocrity (in Zelda terms) of Skyward and Four Swords. Although TP is my favourite Zelda evar, I didn't get on with MM.

I wouldn't mind a year without a Zelda, and with the team that otherwise would be working on the port working on something else. I can't imagine it would be as little work as you say to port it across, since the visuals would need a significant overhaul.

But there a port team that's what they do also xenoblade hasn't had a visual overall and last time I played Twilight Princess in Cube it didn't look as bad as I think you think.
