>for 2d, oracle of ages, link's awakening, and link between worlds are all pretty close. for 3d, majora's mask and botw/totk.
>I just like link
>I don't. it's arbitrary.

disagree with everyone who ever said botw/totk don't feel like real zeldos. the games have their issues but I still loved them through and through, made me get super sentimental about this series I've been in love with since I was like 9.

>Majora's Mask
>Lonk
>fake and gay
I like every Zelda, even the ones that I think are dated or weak.

Ages is woefully underrated, good 2D choice anon!

Personally not a fan of BoTW's open worldness since I prefer dungeon-focus, but I like that it's a good entry point for people and creating new fans. Definitely real Zelda games, the series has tried so many different styles seems insane to suggest otherwise. Especially given Adventures of Link lol. >>32044 got the right idea.

Opinions on Zelink?

>>32046
Cute ship.
I feel there is varying degrees of canonicity to it. In some games it seems like a cute childhood crush scenario whereas in others it comes off more like Link is just doing a noble task out of the goodness of his heart. I also feel like the two are directly correlated with how much screentime Zelda the character gets. lol

Regardless it's usually cute.

OP here. Started Zelda 2 tonight and beat the first temple. It's… not fun in the slightest. There was a brief sense of joy when I learned how to beat Stalfos and Iron Knuckles and saw the large EXP drop, but the scaling of leveling is really steep. Oh well, it's short I bet.

>>32059
I thought the dark sections of that game were pretty unfair and cheap, maybe you get a way to deal with it later but at the beginning it's really dismaying

>Ocarina of Time
>OoT Link
>It was better when there wasn't an official version and people were just throwing things at the wall trying to place all the games together, BotW and TotK didn't help by disregarding everything entirely

>>32046
pretty overrated considering the two of them rarely display any kind of emotion towards each other between games

>>32062
>pretty overrated
Even though they live in the same house and sleep on the same bed in TOTK?

>>32063
everyone's talking about them living together but ngl I thought she just took his house and, I dunno, left him homeless or living wherever he was before BOTW (the castle?) since it's referred to as "Zelda's House" and all his stuff was replaced with hers. I completely missed that implication if that's what they intended

>>32064
What do you mean "She just took his house". You can't just take someone's house. They live together.

>>32063
Considering all of it is only implied, yes. TotK's story blows ass btw but people keep dismissing that to focus on lame shipping shit

>>32046
It's cute but out of all of "them" I'm really only into Wind Waker Zelink and am accepting of Skyward Sword because duh. I went into to TotK blind and was looking forward to chilling with Zelda for once. When I put together what had happened after the opening I was so butthurt on her behalf. I think she's cool, let us hang for once.

>>32064
I just took it as him offering her use of the house because he's still faffling about helping Hyrule and she's more dedicated to education/research (cute lair in the well!!!). They probably team up a lot despite this, but I still don't buy it as mutually romantic.

>>32063
if they live in the same house why did link have to go get a different house? it's just her house

>>32066
and this, super fun game but worst story in any zelda I've played. I have nothing positive to say about the main plot. side quests and odd npc dialog were fine at least.

>Favorite Game
2D: Link's Awakening and the Oracles games. I like that they have a perfect grid map. Oracle of Seasons sort of messes that up with the dungeons though.

3D: Wind Waker. Feels. I prefer BotW to TotK because I love the more personal lore dispersal from the memories. I also like parrying guardians.

>Favorite Character
Medli. I also have a soft spot for Mastro. I smile everytime I see him and whenever I'm at a stable I just

>What do you think of the Timeline?

I don't know anymore. I was pretty invested in the timeline before TotK because the Zonai were still mysterious and I had my own theories. But… TotK kind of ruined a lot of that for me.

I miss the Kokiri.

>>32071
i fucking hate that ugly ass auto generated mii looking goblin ass bitch
ugly mother fucking pig ass manlet

>I miss the Kokiri.

Saaaame. It really bothers me that they are supposed to be early ancestors of the korok, but they are only ever mentioned again in Wind Waker. There is so much you could do with a seemingly ageless race across multiple games. Twilight Princess takes place only 100 years after OOT and I don't think they're brought up once.

The way Ocarina of time utilizes them to show how awful things have gotten in only the short amount of time Link is gone is awesome, and I can only hope we someday get to see them in a different game. Maybe pre-Hero of Time would be interesting?

>>32072
Rood most of the staple "ugly" Zelda characters are funny and charming, I appreciate that the series doesn't just have conventually attractive anime-inspired designs.

>>32072
>mii looking
NPCs use an evolved version of Miis, using basically the same parameters, which the game's internal files called "UMii"s. It's not a 100% one-to-one match as some features (such as moles and certain hairstyles) don't fit but it's very similar.

>>32075
Didn't actually know this, pretty neat to see how the features like the glasses translate.

Beat Adventures of Link tonight and boy was it an exhausting experience.

>>32061
You kind of do? The middle dungeons are better as you have more life and helpful spells, but the last 3 are so long and miserable you just end up getting more and more frustrated. I'd say the worst part for me personally was the area up to the final palace, there are invisible enemies flying around and I didn't realize till I game-overed that I was in the wrong place and missed the 7th dungeon which would have granted me an item to see them. After I beat that dungeon and returned the area was still incredibly aggravating as the formerly invisible enemies still have an erratic pattern that makes platforming a chore. The NPCs just aren't as helpful and it feels more dated than the original.

Not a good game, though I respect the choice to try something completely different.
I'll be glad to get back to overhead with Link to the Past.

>Playing through all of TLoZ in order
I did this when I was younger and it was a lot of fun. I'm assuming you used a guide for 1? I had to use cheats for 2 as it was too hard for me :(

>What do you think of the Timeline?
It's so messy, confusing and dumb. As someone who thinks OoT is overrated I do love making the joke that it was so shit it created multiple timelines.
