The Legend of Zelda Series

Tier 1: ALttP, ALBW, OoS, OoA, WW
Tier 2: OoT, MM, LA, MC
Tier 3: LoZ, TP, AoL
Tier 4: FSA, FS, SS, ST
Tier 5: PH, CDi monstrosities

My personal opinion, but as the only one on this site who prefers overhead Zelda to 3D Zelda, it isn't that surprising.

You put PH on the same level as the CDi games? Even as a hater of the game, isn't that a little rough?

Also, I'm surprised you put AoL on tier 3.

I just plain don't like those games. Mostly everything under tier 2 is thrown about without much care, honestly.

I like 2D Zelda more than 3D. :<

Only including games I've actually played. Yes, I know my taste is bad.

While I prefer the concept of 3D Zelda, most of the best entries in the series are 2D IMO.

Duck for cover! EK is on the way!

I make no apologies for my love of weird games. Is it legitimately better than LttP and OoT? Eh, probably not. Is it one of my favorite games of all time? Hell yeah.

Spark Of Spirit · April 21, 2015, 08:14:24 PM

It is a great game, yeah. It's my favorite Zelda game to play when I just want a quick one to breeze through.

Yeah! I think my list is more dependent on how much I enjoy playing each game. Wasn't really trying to be objective.

Hate that term.

Only cause you're purposely avoiding TP.

Link's Awakening is my favorite.

I've never beaten OoT or any 3D Zelda more. I love the top down format but something about the 3D Zeldas (or at least Ocarina Of Time, I've only played that and MM and barely any of MM.) makes it feel like greatest of time material. So I actually do prefer 3D Zelda overall.

talonmalon333 · April 22, 2015, 02:15:24 PM

Zelda might be the only franchise I can think of where you can make an argument for "best in the series" for the majority of the games. ALttP, LA, OoT, MM, OoA, OoS, WW, TP, ALBW. That's 9/17 games.

Even with Mario, one of the most legendary series of all time, you'd have a difficult time arguing for anything beyond SMB3, SMW, SMG, or SMG2.
