@@henori_ Majora's Mask is my favorite. The side quests and the schedules of each person bring so much life to the game. It also has a darker tone than other LoZ games, which makes it stand out still to this day. The 3 day cycle can add some extra stress (as you experienced) but in a good way. It makes you think before taking on a task, "can I complete this before I run out of time?". Twilight Princess is a close second (and the game I think deserves to sit in the #1 spot). Midna is the best companion, the dungeons are great, and the gameplay feels amazing. It's the Pinnacle of what a LoZ should be
You playing totk before breath of the wild made so much sense because you just beat botw with like nothing. The guardians are supposed to be these frightening things, but you just started parrying things before the game taught you
I actually never parried anything until botw but yeah the guardians were really annoying. the clips of them in the video are only a fraction of what happened (died many many times)😅
Fun Fact about Wind Waker. In The Japanese version, there were only 7 Triforce charts. You may think, "This is great! 398 less rupees spent on Tingle!" Think again. At Needle Rock Isle you normally get a Triforce chart from the golden gunboat. In the Japanese version you get a treasure chart. This treasure chart leads to a treasure chart, which leads to a treasure chart, which leads to a treasure chart, which leads to a treasure chart, which leads to the Triforce shard. Please take my money Tingle.
I'm personally not a fan of open world games so Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were unfortunately not for me. I prefer the formula for the older 3D Zelda games. Majora's Mask, Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess being my personal favorite Zelda games.
I like open zone games a lot more personally. I feel like open world trading away the structure of a linear game makes it so that you can't have any sort of legitimate progression, so the gameplay and difficulty of everything are the same the entire way through. I think the next Zelda would be so much better if you went through a series of large areas rather than one giant map, since then you could get new items throughout the game and the puzzles and enemies could actually get more challenging and complex as the game goes on.
Personally, I don’t think one is necessarily better than the other, as long as it’s well executed. For example, I didn’t really like skyward sword because I felt it was leaning too much on the linear aspect, but I loved OoT and TP because even with a linear progression, the overworld was open enough to feel almost like some 3d kind of metroidvania (both of their water temples can go to hell though. However, even if they have their problems, I also loved BotW and TotK for how well they used their world in their own separate ways , the former by making you want to explore every nook and cranny and the second by expanding said world and giving you the tools to truly transform it into your personal playground.
@AnaverdGaiden That's fair, and while I wasn't too crazy about Breath of the Wild, I've been putting a lot of thought into maybe giving open world games another chance, though maybe just try Tears of the Kingdom in particular.
Yes, with BOTW game release two Zelda fandoms have formed: classic Zelda fans, interested in dungeons, puzzles and story-based design, and new Zelda fans, interested in empty open world, no plot and breakable weapons. The bad thing is that now Nintendo only follows that formula as seen in TOTK or EOW, so either they make remakes like what happened with Link's Awakening or we classic style fans will be left high and dry.
im so used to people being hyper critical of the zelda franchise and this was an incredibly good change of pace, its nice to see some actually rational takes.
@@henori_ I grew up with Wind Waker and the Zelda series as a whole. Wind Waker went from my least favorite 3D Zelda on the gamecube to being my second favorite Zelda with the HD version, right behind Majora's Mask. I really do hope you get to experience it that way sometime. Also, the HD version is just beautiful.
@@henori_ you seriously have earned major Internet respect. Even though this game was ranked really low in this video you're still willing to give the HD remake a chance and that says something about a person. You just got a sub
I feel seen. MM and TP are my absolute favourites 😂 One thing that bothers me about WW, as much as it holds a place in my heart, is that Tetra loses all personality the moment she gets in that princess dress. Dunno why it bothers me so much but it does 😂
Supposedly, it's because the King of Red Lions is stuck in his old ways and ends up forcing her into the role of a damsel in distress that needs protecting because that's how the previous Zeldas were. That ends up backfiring as it leads Ganon straight to her and allows for her to get captured. It is when she helps fight with the light arrows in the final fight that Ganon gets defeated. Her returning to how she was after is proof of that, though I agree that they didn't do a good job of showing it.
BOTW is MUCH harder the longer you play it, and the dlc makes the game actually insanely hard because of the Trial of the Master Sword. Master Mode also makes literally everything more difficult, so if somebody didn’t like how easy it was, Master Mode is for you. Its easily the most difficult Zelda game when you’re looking at the entire picture.
Breath of the wild 1 and 2 were super disappointing due to how easy the games were. Shame they don't pick up Inspiration from Elden ring. I don't like the idea of having to select difficulties, and they should probably have the option available for gamers
@@theperfectjaguar Are you fr... Elden Ring is literally inspired by BotW if you mean the souls games that's fine. But also, Zelda games are meant to be casual games that everyone can play. Difficulty options would be great but not just the games being hard overall
@@TheBloodRedDane I thought all of the sky islands were fun to discover and explore, at least. It feels like TP tried to be Ocarina of Time's overworld but with 4x the amount of empty space. It worked in OOT because you had very short distances between areas but in TP traveling starts to become tedious. The music in the overworld is godly though, at least!
I hate how valid your criticism of windwaker is because it’s one of my favorite games (played it way too much in my childhood, and has arguably some of the best speedrunning in the series)
Well like he said with skyward sword. He accepted that it's his favorite game despite it objectively not being the best. And I think that's something everyone should understand. That there is a huge difference between personal favorite and actually being objectively good. (Windwaker is also my favorite)
Wind Waker used to be my favorite when I was a child. Upon replaying it, I realized how much padding the game has and how much of the content they must've cut. Sadly, it kind of soured the view I have on it. I mean we were robbed. No Nayru's pearl dungeon and an empty sea? Bummer.
@@Keycil Yes. Still one of my favorites, but it does feel like a lot was left out. Infact, there are in-depth WW videos that go over how much unused code, dialogue, and leftover pieces of rather large and discarded 3 dungeon models buried in the game. IIRC, it looked like there should have been like 2-3 more dungeons then what we got. I really wish we had THAT version!
Hey man, I saw your other video where you play other people's childhood games for the first time and excited to see this upload recommended to me. This was such a fun watch. It's not everyday you see someone diving into a franchise as big as ZELDA mostly blind. Hope you have a good rest of your week my dude.
thank you so much, that really means a lot! I'm actually so glad I decided to play the other Zelda games because it's definitely my favorite franchise now 😁 I hope you have a great week as well!
The Goron Race has a comeback mechanic-the better you preform during the race, the harder and faster the CPU will slingshot passed you at the very end. You have to realize that it’s only annoying BECAUSE you’re so good.
Majora's mask going from S tier to A tier right the end was a stab to the heart. Overall a great video, i love the editing and commentary. I LOVE the LoZ series (which is probably why this video showed up in my algorithm even though i havent seen any of your other videos) and this was a treat to watch. Getting to experience someone's first time with each game was great! Its always a great day when someone discovers what a great series LoZ is As a long time Zelda fan (i played these games as they released) my list wouldnt be too dissimilar from your own. I would shift Majora's Mask ahead of TotK (its my personal favorite game so maybe some bias there) and i would move OoT in front of BotW, but would keep it in A tier
Thank you so much!! 😁 MM is goated for sure, it was just really hard for me to look back on those old games after playing totk with how expansive the game was. I'm honestly sooo glad I decided to do this video tho because the Zelda franchise is now my favorite!
Between the lack of a dungeon for Nayru's Pearl, the travesty that is the Triforce Hunt, and the empty promise that is the sunken Hyrule Kingdom, Wind Waker is so obviously rushed and unfinished that replaying it hurts me. Especially that last one. The way King talks about how the Earth and Wind Temples are in the sunken Hyrule is enough to realize that the plan was for it to be Wind Waker's equivalent to A Link to the Past's Dark World and Ocarina of Time's future. Whenever I replay it now, so much of it is just a memorial of what could have been, to me.
@@devonm042690 i think i like it alot because it has sentimental value to me it was the first game of the series i played as a kid and i also just really like the art style
@@devonm042690 ive been replaying it recently, and its peak. The visuals are about a decade ahead of its time. Its the most drastic change in hyrules map between games, making for a fun experience finding out new locations. The concept of playing as this specific link is amazing, as he was never the Chosen Hero, but still fought to save hyrule regardless. It’s the game that solidified Zelda as much more than just a damsel in distress. You shouldnt hate a game for being rushed and unfinished, not when the developers didnt physically have enough time to polish all those details. Dont be ashamed of a piece of art made by rushed workers, because what they made is still great, and what they made is still special. Its still better than so many other games. But then again, i’m a pokemon gen 9 enjoyer, my opinions probably shouldn’t be taken too seriously
Wind waker was my first ever Zelda game and was my favorite and then twilight princess is my second favorite I’m hurt that you put wind waker that low 😭but still good video
I'm sure others have said this, but the Wii U re-release of Wind Waker had some godsent QoL improvements. Even little things, like swinging on the grapple hook, were made more streamlined, making everythng much more brisk.
The other ones are all better though, although you could probably argue that TP is about the same quality. Both have giant, open worlds with absolutely nothing to do in it. Both funnel you through a specific path that makes it way less interesting than the N64 games before them and BOTW / TOTK after them.
Loved this video! It's always a joy seeing people experience these games for the first time. I think you greatly benefited from playing ToTK before BoTW. For me personally, I had played so much BoTW that when ToTK came out with mostly the same map, I was a little burnt out having to re-explore it with very little changes besides the sky islands. My favourite will always be Majora's Mask, as it was the first one I played and it has such a unique setting! Highly recommend checking out some of the 2D games now too, the Link's Awakening remake and A Link Between Worlds are definitely standouts. Maybe avoid Zelda II though lol
Here is my tier list: S: Wind Waker, Majora's Mask A: Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time B: Skyward Sword C: Breath of the Wild F: Tears of the Kingdom
It’s interesting to see how different a perspective from a nowadays player can change the perception of the same games. I will be honest, with an age of 44 years, I am rather fond of the old games. To me, Skyward Sword is peak Zelda. That being said, I talk about the Version on the Nintendo Switch, followed by Wind Waker (the HD version on the Wii U) and Twilight Princess (again the HD Version on the Wii U). The HD Versions on the Wii U and the Switch Remaster of Skyward Sword fixed the issues that the original games had. And since BotW and TotK had a loooooot of padding to them, I ended up preferring the old stuff. That being said: I did spend 2600 hours in Breath of the Wild.
the HD versions did improve a lot for sure. jesus... 2600 hours in botw is insane. what I've realized after playing all the games is that there are many things we can appreciate about each one. I love the puzzles and dungeons of the older games yet love the expansiveness & exploration, story, and game mechanics of the newer ones. One thing's for sure, there are no bad Zelda games imo 👍
i love fans like you man. im 18 and i definitely have a preference towards botw and totk, but Skyward sword, Twilight Princess and Windwaker (all HD) are all peak zelda in their own way, they all follow a formula but differentiate enough with unique ideas and approaches, while botw and totk is familiar but does something very different, i love botw's initial mystery & themes and totk's raw exploration and creativity (although the building is very hit or miss with people). all zelda games are good and all have different experiences from each other
J e s u s, 2600 hours? Sounds like you *really* searched for those Koroks without a guide, lol. Honestly I put like 130 hours into 100%ing everything but the Koroks in Tears of the Kingdom and I was so burnt out way before that point. I feel like the two new games are too repetitive and lacking in variety, plus they're missing a lot of the charm of the previous games. Like, people will crap on Skyward Sword but every character, area, and enemy felt distinct and memorable. I feel like everything in BOTW/TOTK just blends together, there's a distinct lack of creativity with everything. It's like they focused so much on making the overworld feel alive that they didn't bother doing the same with everything else.
Majora’s Mask is so goated. The side quests and character interactions are by far the liveliest in the series, since the characters actually move around and do things on their own throughout the three days and the way they each deal with the upcoming death of their world in their own ways is way too real. That’s the real meat of the game in my opinion and why the few amount of temples doesn’t bother me
Skyward Sword is easily my favorite Zelda game! I’m glad you thought the same thing! I do recommend you play the 2D games as well because they are also some of the best Zelda games as well!! I especially love a link between words and the remake to links awakening!!!
As someone whose favorite Zelda game is Wind Waker this hurt me. A big portion of the fun of the game was how much focus was put into exploration of the ocean so i feel like if your goal is just beating the game quickly it doesn't cater to that style. Also the HD remake overhauled the Triforce Shard quest cause pretty much everyone agrees it was very tedious and took way too long.
One of the cool elements about skyward sword HD is that a lot of the motion control issues that people had with the game were mitigated with integrated button and stick controls that works really well. So any of the issues you had with that in skyward sword get mostly fixed in the switch! Also, I’m pretty sure you can skip some of the dialogue in the switch version.
Yeah but I’ve read multiple comments of people saying the switch port is awful because the camera gets messed up constantly and you can’t reset it or something. I haven’t tried it.
great video man, great concept. I would suggest you do a bit more walking through the stories along with the random clips of each game to really maximize interest
Funnily enough, Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game and I also played all of them for the first time back to back recently. Maybe it was my circumstances irl that made me so engrossed into it. We basically had a revolution here and internet and any type of communication with the rest of the world was blocked for a few weeks, I only had WW installed at the time that can be played offline and I haven't yet played already. So for those couple of weeks its the only game I played and the only game I was able to play so I kinda felt like I had all the time in the world, finding the filler content wasn't annoying to me, it actually made me happy because there was more to do, I was happy to be grinding this game cause I just had something to do and some reason to continue playing. Regardless of the atrocities that happened those few weeks, I somehow had one of the best gaming experiences during that time. So its kinda funny, the things that some people find a con, even I would find a con, turns out to be a positive depending on your situation. Nowadays having too many games available to play makes me not truly able to invest myself into games like I used to.
My problem with BOTW is that it's an amazing open world sandbox game but a crappy Zelda game. It has the worst dungeons and bosses in the series and very underwhelming NPCs and music compared to the other games, plus a really nothing plot. Plus the loss of items was a huge step back, and removed a lot of the difficulty progression and variety that the franchise is known for.
wind waker is one of the best zelda games to speedrun, but i can agree, it's pretty poorly paced casually. like, when it's good, it's really good, but that's sandwiched between the gaming equivalent of trudging through quicksand.
Just finished the vid and was shocked by seeing 1k subs. By the commentary, production, jokes, and overall great analysis I was shocked. Not gonna be surprised when I see you with 100k+ next year. Keep up the incredible work, off to watch the Ocarina vid!
idk if anyone else said this yet, but the only real way to truly experience Majora's Mask is to get all the masks in the game. The main story, while great, is also kinda simple. You get to know so much more about the world and the people in it when you do all the side quests. There is also a bonus at the end of the game for doing so, but if you haven't heard about it, i wont spoil it but its totally worth it just based off cool factor alone
oh I got all the masks and gave them all to the kids. I just didn't put on the deity's mask bc I wanted the fight to be challenging. As for the bonus i'm sure I missed that 😂
@@henori_oh well I figured you just didn’t get all the masks. 😂 the deity mask was the bonus I was talking. I assumed you missed it cuz I didn’t see it and it’s actually an easy thing to miss for a first time blind player. Most people wouldn’t go out of the way to do all the side quests unless they are completionists
Fun fact for twilight princess once getting the master sword you can still technically attack the bosses with the original sword to deal damage but it’s just longer and tedious but it puts more of a challenge that way
@@henori_I just remembered some thing when going for breath of the wild master sword put some wood down right in between the sword and you let it on fire and then sleep but make sure you’re looking up at the sky were it says sleep and pole if you do it correctly and you go to the next day you’ll be able to take the master sword without even trying to pull it
@ Agreed another cool strategy is for tears of the Kingdom don’t even go for the master sword as soon as you take on the final fight you’ll just get it automatically there without having to go through the hassle of getting the second wheel of stamina
Dude, Didn't expect to watch the full Video but you kept me hooked, wanted to check out the rest of your channel and found out you're new! Not only that watched your first 3 videos and the variety of your channel is amazing! Keep up the good work!
Mine would be S: MM, TP, SS A: WW, OOT, Botw B: N/A C: Totk Tears would’ve been good if there was no Botw, but Botw is superior to Tears in every way imo, better hero abilities, better map design, the only thing they improved was dungeons (barely cause they’re still garbage) and boss fights
It didn't control well and the fight went on for too long, though. All of the additions and changes in the 3D version were awful besides being able to choose the time you fast forward to.
If you want, in both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, if you use a Horseriding or OoT Link Amibo, either will summon an Epona into the games. Edit: It's the Smash Bros Link and TP Link that summon Epona.
I'm curious why ToTK? I felt really let down by that game. From the fact that the game is 90% recycled to the awful dungeons and literally nothing story, it was like they learned nothing from their mistakes in BOTW and instead just doubled down on bad ideas. I feel like the Zonai devices were the one good thing in the game, but they should have been saved for an actually new title and not just "overpriced BOTW DLC"
@AnaverdGaiden BoTW felt pointless. I would play the game for a little bit, but inevitably get bored and move to something else, and that never happened with ToTK. I constantly found it fun to play, the mechanics are awesome, and the story* is great. Both new areas are fun, the shrines are more fun than BoTW(albeit they both suck), and it was just generally a more fun time. BoTW seems so mid compared to ToTK. *the story from the Dragon Tears is great, but the characters and stuff in the present weren’t awesome, probably due to the fact that it had more story than BoTW
@@Drydoctor-qo5wtWhen it comes to the story, I was really let down how every dungeon's cutscene was just the same exact copy pasted scene over and over and over again, I think it is bar none the laziest storytelling I've ever seen in a game. Plus Ganondorf is his worst incarnation yet, he basically does nothing and his finale is such an underwhelming letdown. When it comes to the sky and the depths, I think they got reaally lazy with both of them. The sky barely has any islands and a majority of them are tiny and copy pasted, and the depths is the exact same assets everywhere you look with many parts that feel AI generated rather than actually created be the developers. I will agree that I liked the shrines, though, they were fun to do the first time. The dungeons were absolutely atrocious, sadly. I respect your opinion but I was really expecting more out of the game, it felt more like a budget title than the actual next big Zelda experience.
Awesome playthroughs dude!! I like your rating score too. Also, you got rocked during the thunderblight ganon in BOTW because you were wearing weak armor. You can upgrade armor at the great fairies! Maybe you just wanted to blaze through without it which I respect too. Was fun to watch :)
to me at least this is the definitive tierlist of the 3d zeldas from an unbiased source with compliments and complaints all i agree with, i have personal favourites but to me this is the objective ranking, very well though out and he ACTUALLY PLAYED THE GAMES UNLIKE MOST, well done man, subbed
You know, watching this video made me realize that the Master Sword from BOTW and TOTK should be able to gather lightning like how it did in Skyward Sword.
In my opinion these are my favorite 3D Zelda Games. 1. The Wind Waker 2. Breath of the Wild 3. Majora’s Mask 4. Ocarina of Time 5. Tears of the Kingdom
@@Drydoctor-qo5wt Oh you definitely should come back to it, LttP is so good. You can beat it in just a few hours, so it's worth setting aside some time to finish.
First time playing majoras mask yeah I give it an A but the more you sit down and think about stuff in that game the more the game is an S tier game everything about it is amazing
my favorite is still botw but I do think totk did most things better. especially all the little secrets hidden around the map that arent koroks which make it worth to explore
I know this is subjective n all but damn...putting one of my favorite games alone in C Tier hurt a lil bit xD Anyway, my top 3 3D Zelda games would be: 1.Wind Waker 2. Twilight Princess 3. Tears of the Kingdom
i'm sorry 😅 maybe I wasn't in the right mood idk but i'll definitely try out the HD version since it made lots of improvements! that's a great top 3 tho 👍
@@henori_ Haha no need to apologize. People have different tastes and that's totally fine. Personally, I've never played the HD version but I heard it improved a lot on the long tedious sections of the game by giving you a better sail and shortening the triforce quest, so you might like that one better :)
I'm seeing a lot of TOTK on top 3 lists here, it honestly feels like new game blindness. Like, I feel like in terms of the actual design of the game it's pretty mediocre, but people are still riding the high of it being the newest Zelda game. I think in 20 years people are going to be a lot more sour on it (like a reverse Zelda cycle, if you will)
@@AnaverdGaiden Honestly, fair point. I actually thought the same a while back and for some people it is most definitely true, but not for me personally. I actually moved it up from number 5 to 3 just recently XD. I just really love open world games and personally I don't think the game design is mediocore at all, I absolutely adore it. But at the end of the day stuff like that is mostly subjective. You still have a valid point tho, I just don't think it applies to everyone. To be fair, it is number 3 only on my top 3 3D Zelda games. Overall it is "just" number 4 xD
@@Ray-ew4yy I appreciate you being open minded, and I respect your opinion! Personally I feel like the game just flounders in a lot of ways. The story copy pastes the same cutscene after every dungeon and Ganondorf is totally wasted, the """final dungeon""" is a generic cave with zero buildup, the Zonai don't actually add anything to the plot and their lore isn't developed whatsoever, and the dungeons are all just a couple of shrine puzzles stapled together without any sort of interesting music, memorable visual themes, or a sense of progression, plus there's no unique enemies or minibosses in them. The game itself is also mostly copy-pasted from BOTW, and the new elements like the sky and depths feel half baked. The depths is just the same assets everywhere and the sky islands are all really small, there's barely any of them, and the same ones are reused all over the place. When they announced the game I was thinking "this is going to be Breath of the Wild but with all of the problems fixed". But instead they just sort of made the same exact game again with the Zonai mechanics included. While the Zonai mechanics are fun, I feel like they're wasted on a game that doesn't try to excel in any meaningful way. They would have been more fun to see in a game with a new world, new art style, and actually memorable dungeons, characters, and plot. TOTK honestly made me question Nintendo's ability to make future Zelda games, and that's coming from someone who loves the series to death.
yah, wind waker has the problem of... it was never really finished. There were supposed to be more and better islands, two more dungeons, and no triforce quest in the first place. Most of the other issues can be solved by playing the Wii U version.
@@Ep1cBramb10I personally like the extreme lighting in the Wii U version but yeah not everyone is a fan. Plus the colors take a hit because the Wii U only supports Limited Range RGB
tp and mm were amazing! yeah a little disappointed with the totk dungeons but the expansiveness and game mechanics made up for it, at least for me it did 😂
part of why you died so much to Thunderblight Ganon is because you had god awful armor on, you see those little numbers on the armor in the menu, that's how much defense they grant, bigger numbers are better
but i wanted to look good 🥲 all jokes aside, I love challenging myself and am honestly fine fighting things when i'm weak. I did the bare minimum getting the heart containers 😂
I think the main problem with ocarina of time it's the gameplay. It's much more about puzzles than fighting enemies, wich probably explains why twilight princess is on S tier, the better balance between puzzle solving and combat make the pacing of the gameplay fun.
Thanks again for watching! Lmk what your favorite Zelda game is 😁
Tears then wind waker then MM… are my favorites. Deadass was just waiting for you to sh*t on tears 🤣 I’m so surprised by the positive reaction.
solid favorites! dw I gotchu with tears 👍

Fun Fact about Wind Waker. In The Japanese version, there were only 7 Triforce charts. You may think, "This is great! 398 less rupees spent on Tingle!" Think again. At Needle Rock Isle you normally get a Triforce chart from the golden gunboat. In the Japanese version you get a treasure chart. This treasure chart leads to a treasure chart, which leads to a treasure chart, which leads to a treasure chart, which leads to a treasure chart, which leads to the Triforce shard. Please take my money Tingle.
im glad someone came to their senses and changed that shit 😮💨
Nothing can beat the feeling of playing OOT for the first time when it was released in 1998 as a 12 yo kid. I feel very lucky
exactly, people now can't comprehend how much it effected and changed Gaming Industry , it's to this day the highest rated game ever in metacritics.
I played it first in about 2009 maybe ?? And it is my all time favorite legend of zelda game and always will be.
I was 12 when A link to the Pst was released and felt the same way. Lost a few weeks of my life to that game
I had that sort of experience as an adult playing Breath of the Wild in 2017.
i had that with windwaker when i was like 6
I'm personally not a fan of open world games so Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were unfortunately not for me. I prefer the formula for the older 3D Zelda games. Majora's Mask, Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess being my personal favorite Zelda games.
I like open zone games a lot more personally. I feel like open world trading away the structure of a linear game makes it so that you can't have any sort of legitimate progression, so the gameplay and difficulty of everything are the same the entire way through. I think the next Zelda would be so much better if you went through a series of large areas rather than one giant map, since then you could get new items throughout the game and the puzzles and enemies could actually get more challenging and complex as the game goes on.
i get you 👍great favorites !
Personally, I don’t think one is necessarily better than the other, as long as it’s well executed. For example, I didn’t really like skyward sword because I felt it was leaning too much on the linear aspect, but I loved OoT and TP because even with a linear progression, the overworld was open enough to feel almost like some 3d kind of metroidvania (both of their water temples can go to hell though. However, even if they have their problems, I also loved BotW and TotK for how well they used their world in their own separate ways , the former by making you want to explore every nook and cranny and the second by expanding said world and giving you the tools to truly transform it into your personal playground.
@AnaverdGaiden That's fair, and while I wasn't too crazy about Breath of the Wild, I've been putting a lot of thought into maybe giving open world games another chance, though maybe just try Tears of the Kingdom in particular.
Yes, with BOTW game release two Zelda fandoms have formed: classic Zelda fans, interested in dungeons, puzzles and story-based design, and new Zelda fans, interested in empty open world, no plot and breakable weapons.
The bad thing is that now Nintendo only follows that formula as seen in TOTK or EOW, so either they make remakes like what happened with Link's Awakening or we classic style fans will be left high and dry.
im so used to people being hyper critical of the zelda franchise and this was an incredibly good change of pace, its nice to see some actually rational takes.
are you serious? those people are crazy, the zelda franchise is soo good 👌
look where the fuck he put windwaker
22:51 a lot of the pacing issues were fixed in the Wii U remake, it’s personally my favorite zelda
Same, it's underrated imo
that's what i've heard as well, looking forward to playing the HD version some time 👍
@@henori_ I grew up with Wind Waker and the Zelda series as a whole. Wind Waker went from my least favorite 3D Zelda on the gamecube to being my second favorite Zelda with the HD version, right behind Majora's Mask. I really do hope you get to experience it that way sometime. Also, the HD version is just beautiful.
@@henori_ wii u is so good fast sail just automatically changes wind to your sail, triforce quest is much better
@@henori_ you seriously have earned major Internet respect. Even though this game was ranked really low in this video you're still willing to give the HD remake a chance and that says something about a person. You just got a sub
I feel seen. MM and TP are my absolute favourites 😂
One thing that bothers me about WW, as much as it holds a place in my heart, is that Tetra loses all personality the moment she gets in that princess dress. Dunno why it bothers me so much but it does 😂
nice favorites!
holy... that's actually such a great point about Tetra, I didn't even realize I felt the same way 😅
Yeah, it's a disguise, but for some reason her personality changes too. Same thing is seen in Phantom Hourglass, but to a lesser extent.
Supposedly, it's because the King of Red Lions is stuck in his old ways and ends up forcing her into the role of a damsel in distress that needs protecting because that's how the previous Zeldas were. That ends up backfiring as it leads Ganon straight to her and allows for her to get captured. It is when she helps fight with the light arrows in the final fight that Ganon gets defeated. Her returning to how she was after is proof of that, though I agree that they didn't do a good job of showing it.
Honestly the funniest part of this video is that he played TOTK before BOTW and seeing his confusion
Which makes him an idiot
And TP before WW 😅
BOTW is MUCH harder the longer you play it, and the dlc makes the game actually insanely hard because of the Trial of the Master Sword. Master Mode also makes literally everything more difficult, so if somebody didn’t like how easy it was, Master Mode is for you. Its easily the most difficult Zelda game when you’re looking at the entire picture.
Breath of the wild 1 and 2 were super disappointing due to how easy the games were. Shame they don't pick up Inspiration from Elden ring. I don't like the idea of having to select difficulties, and they should probably have the option available for gamers
@@theperfectjaguarElden Ring took inspiration from Breath of the Wild.
@@theperfectjaguar Are you fr... Elden Ring is literally inspired by BotW
if you mean the souls games that's fine.
But also, Zelda games are meant to be casual games that everyone can play. Difficulty options would be great but not just the games being hard overall
@@theperfectjaguar This makes Zero sense
So happy to see Twilight Princess at the top of your list 😍
it's the goat, that's all I can say 🐐
@@henori_you can actually pet the goats in that game
I like the dungeons in Twilight Princess, but I feel like it has the worst overworld sections of all of the pre-BOTW 3D Zeldas
@@AnaverdGaiden Nah, Skyward Sword was the worst overworld. Twilight's wasn't very good though.
@@TheBloodRedDane I thought all of the sky islands were fun to discover and explore, at least. It feels like TP tried to be Ocarina of Time's overworld but with 4x the amount of empty space. It worked in OOT because you had very short distances between areas but in TP traveling starts to become tedious. The music in the overworld is godly though, at least!
I hate how valid your criticism of windwaker is because it’s one of my favorite games (played it way too much in my childhood, and has arguably some of the best speedrunning in the series)
Well like he said with skyward sword. He accepted that it's his favorite game despite it objectively not being the best. And I think that's something everyone should understand. That there is a huge difference between personal favorite and actually being objectively good. (Windwaker is also my favorite)
Wind Waker used to be my favorite when I was a child. Upon replaying it, I realized how much padding the game has and how much of the content they must've cut. Sadly, it kind of soured the view I have on it. I mean we were robbed. No Nayru's pearl dungeon and an empty sea? Bummer.
@@Keycil Yes. Still one of my favorites, but it does feel like a lot was left out. Infact, there are in-depth WW videos that go over how much unused code, dialogue, and leftover pieces of rather large and discarded 3 dungeon models buried in the game. IIRC, it looked like there should have been like 2-3 more dungeons then what we got. I really wish we had THAT version!
@FrankenTruck they should've delayed the game, it does really feel rushed compared to the other games
how is it valid, triforce quest is cake, wind temple isnt bad at all he is just dumb dumb hahaha dumb
Ocarina, Majora and Wind waker have a league of their own.
favorite Zelda Games have always been Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, I love both of them so much that it's hard choose one over the other.
I love them both for different reasons, so they can share number 1 😂
But what would you choose to put first if you had to?😅
just going off VIBES alone... skyward sword 😂
I love skyloft and the characters too much
Hey man, I saw your other video where you play other people's childhood games for the first time and excited to see this upload recommended to me. This was such a fun watch. It's not everyday you see someone diving into a franchise as big as ZELDA mostly blind. Hope you have a good rest of your week my dude.
thank you so much, that really means a lot! I'm actually so glad I decided to play the other Zelda games because it's definitely my favorite franchise now 😁 I hope you have a great week as well!
The Goron Race has a comeback mechanic-the better you preform during the race, the harder and faster the CPU will slingshot passed you at the very end. You have to realize that it’s only annoying BECAUSE you’re so good.
wait deadass? 💀
huh... it is what it is 😂
we love rubber banding mechanics in this household
Majora's mask going from S tier to A tier right the end was a stab to the heart.
Overall a great video, i love the editing and commentary. I LOVE the LoZ series (which is probably why this video showed up in my algorithm even though i havent seen any of your other videos) and this was a treat to watch. Getting to experience someone's first time with each game was great! Its always a great day when someone discovers what a great series LoZ is
As a long time Zelda fan (i played these games as they released) my list wouldnt be too dissimilar from your own. I would shift Majora's Mask ahead of TotK (its my personal favorite game so maybe some bias there) and i would move OoT in front of BotW, but would keep it in A tier
Thank you so much!! 😁 MM is goated for sure, it was just really hard for me to look back on those old games after playing totk with how expansive the game was.
I'm honestly sooo glad I decided to do this video tho because the Zelda franchise is now my favorite!
@@henori_ glad you loved the series so much! It's been my favorite for a long time. It's always great when new people join the group
I'm here for the MM love as well!
Great work man, as a 30yr old man I really enjoyed you playing most my childhood games! Subbed
thank you!! i'm honestly jealous of people that grew up playing the Zelda games, but better late than never i guess 😅
Wind waker is my favorite game this is blasphemous
good video tho 😭
I am so sorry lmaoo 😂 ty!
Between the lack of a dungeon for Nayru's Pearl, the travesty that is the Triforce Hunt, and the empty promise that is the sunken Hyrule Kingdom, Wind Waker is so obviously rushed and unfinished that replaying it hurts me. Especially that last one. The way King talks about how the Earth and Wind Temples are in the sunken Hyrule is enough to realize that the plan was for it to be Wind Waker's equivalent to A Link to the Past's Dark World and Ocarina of Time's future. Whenever I replay it now, so much of it is just a memorial of what could have been, to me.
@@devonm042690 i think i like it alot because it has sentimental value to me it was the first game of the series i played as a kid and i also just really like the art style
@@devonm042690 ive been replaying it recently, and its peak. The visuals are about a decade ahead of its time. Its the most drastic change in hyrules map between games, making for a fun experience finding out new locations. The concept of playing as this specific link is amazing, as he was never the Chosen Hero, but still fought to save hyrule regardless. It’s the game that solidified Zelda as much more than just a damsel in distress.
You shouldnt hate a game for being rushed and unfinished, not when the developers didnt physically have enough time to polish all those details. Dont be ashamed of a piece of art made by rushed workers, because what they made is still great, and what they made is still special. Its still better than so many other games.
But then again, i’m a pokemon gen 9 enjoyer, my opinions probably shouldn’t be taken too seriously
Wind waker was my first ever Zelda game and was my favorite and then twilight princess is my second favorite I’m hurt that you put wind waker that low 😭but still good video
"why am I doing this? there's no point." -I'm glad the theme of the game was getting through 😂
I'm sure others have said this, but the Wii U re-release of Wind Waker had some godsent QoL improvements.
Even little things, like swinging on the grapple hook, were made more streamlined, making everythng much more brisk.
Beating demise without a shield is mind blowing
I didn't even realize until the very end lmaoo 😅
Arin Hanson moment /affectionate
If you got all the masks in majora's mask, you get the fierce deity's mask.
I did get it actually, I just wanted to challenge myself 😅
@henori_ Oh. Awesome.
@@henori_ Oh man now I need to know what you think about the kafei side quest.
Bro I genuinely love watching ur vids. Watching ur vids is like watching a friend play a game. Very comforting.
It’s time for you to play Elden ring now.
holy, I appreciate that a alot!
it's like you saw my video schedule with that elden ring call...
@@henori_ 👀
Ngl I don’t see small UA-camrs this good ever if you ever become famous please dear god please remember me
isaacmiles_9, if i ever make it big you'll be the first person i think of 🫡
Skyward Sword feels repetitive to the point that I'm pretty sure it would be my infinite hell loop.
Yeah sometimes but once I got used to the game it was beautiful
This man did not put wind waker at the bottom of the list
instant thumbs down
The other ones are all better though, although you could probably argue that TP is about the same quality. Both have giant, open worlds with absolutely nothing to do in it. Both funnel you through a specific path that makes it way less interesting than the N64 games before them and BOTW / TOTK after them.
This is the first time I've seen someone intentionally play on low hearts and the weakest clothing possible.
Loved this video! It's always a joy seeing people experience these games for the first time. I think you greatly benefited from playing ToTK before BoTW. For me personally, I had played so much BoTW that when ToTK came out with mostly the same map, I was a little burnt out having to re-explore it with very little changes besides the sky islands.
My favourite will always be Majora's Mask, as it was the first one I played and it has such a unique setting! Highly recommend checking out some of the 2D games now too, the Link's Awakening remake and A Link Between Worlds are definitely standouts. Maybe avoid Zelda II though lol
thank you!!
yeah, there's just something special about Majora's Mask... I've never played any game like it 👍
LINK BETWEEN WORLDS MENTIONED!!! BASED ALERT
Here is my tier list:
S: Wind Waker, Majora's Mask
A: Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time
B: Skyward Sword
C: Breath of the Wild
F: Tears of the Kingdom
i respect it 👍
Tears of the Kingdom was such a letdown, didnt even manage to finish it and I absolutely loved BOTW
It’s interesting to see how different a perspective from a nowadays player can change the perception of the same games. I will be honest, with an age of 44 years, I am rather fond of the old games. To me, Skyward Sword is peak Zelda. That being said, I talk about the Version on the Nintendo Switch, followed by Wind Waker (the HD version on the Wii U) and Twilight Princess (again the HD Version on the Wii U). The HD Versions on the Wii U and the Switch Remaster of Skyward Sword fixed the issues that the original games had. And since BotW and TotK had a loooooot of padding to them, I ended up preferring the old stuff. That being said: I did spend 2600 hours in Breath of the Wild.
the HD versions did improve a lot for sure.
jesus... 2600 hours in botw is insane. what I've realized after playing all the games is that there are many things we can appreciate about each one. I love the puzzles and dungeons of the older games yet love the expansiveness & exploration, story, and game mechanics of the newer ones. One thing's for sure, there are no bad Zelda games imo 👍
i love fans like you man. im 18 and i definitely have a preference towards botw and totk, but Skyward sword, Twilight Princess and Windwaker (all HD) are all peak zelda in their own way, they all follow a formula but differentiate enough with unique ideas and approaches, while botw and totk is familiar but does something very different, i love botw's initial mystery & themes and totk's raw exploration and creativity (although the building is very hit or miss with people). all zelda games are good and all have different experiences from each other
thank you! it's why I love the franchise, theres always something you can love and appreciate about each and every game!
J e s u s, 2600 hours? Sounds like you *really* searched for those Koroks without a guide, lol. Honestly I put like 130 hours into 100%ing everything but the Koroks in Tears of the Kingdom and I was so burnt out way before that point. I feel like the two new games are too repetitive and lacking in variety, plus they're missing a lot of the charm of the previous games. Like, people will crap on Skyward Sword but every character, area, and enemy felt distinct and memorable. I feel like everything in BOTW/TOTK just blends together, there's a distinct lack of creativity with everything. It's like they focused so much on making the overworld feel alive that they didn't bother doing the same with everything else.
Twilight Princess has been my personal favorite for a long time. Just a crazy fun game and so much to explore and discover.
Majora’s Mask is so goated. The side quests and character interactions are by far the liveliest in the series, since the characters actually move around and do things on their own throughout the three days and the way they each deal with the upcoming death of their world in their own ways is way too real. That’s the real meat of the game in my opinion and why the few amount of temples doesn’t bother me
there really isn't a game like it. I 100% agree with you on the characters, and I think the 3 days mechanic is just so creative and unique
I agree, it's definitely the best Zelda game!
I have NEVER seen a UA-camr beat colgera the intended way, which is criminal. The intended start makes the fight much more fun
Skyward Sword is easily my favorite Zelda game! I’m glad you thought the same thing! I do recommend you play the 2D games as well because they are also some of the best Zelda games as well!! I especially love a link between words and the remake to links awakening!!!
As someone whose favorite Zelda game is Wind Waker this hurt me. A big portion of the fun of the game was how much focus was put into exploration of the ocean so i feel like if your goal is just beating the game quickly it doesn't cater to that style. Also the HD remake overhauled the Triforce Shard quest cause pretty much everyone agrees it was very tedious and took way too long.
PEAK video man. only halfway through but glad to see skyward sword is your personal favorite. its not the best, i agree! but its my favorite
a fellow skyward sword enjoyer 🫡 tysm and I hope you enjoy the rest of it!
@@henori_ it was great!
tysm!
This video was funny to watch and rlly well made lol glad to see you liked ocarina of time as well!
thank you! 😁
You’re awesome bro,deserve more subscribers
thank you !! 😁
Surprisingly windwaker had at least 2 dungeons cut from the game so it was originally supposed to be longer
yeah, I thought the game was weirdly short when I played it
One of the cool elements about skyward sword HD is that a lot of the motion control issues that people had with the game were mitigated with integrated button and stick controls that works really well. So any of the issues you had with that in skyward sword get mostly fixed in the switch! Also, I’m pretty sure you can skip some of the dialogue in the switch version.
Yeah but I’ve read multiple comments of people saying the switch port is awful because the camera gets messed up constantly and you can’t reset it or something. I haven’t tried it.
@ I’ve seen it played with no motion controls at all and they haven’t complained about the camera
great video man, great concept. I would suggest you do a bit more walking through the stories along with the random clips of each game to really maximize interest
yooo the transition at 39:54 was so clean wth
Funnily enough, Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game and I also played all of them for the first time back to back recently.
Maybe it was my circumstances irl that made me so engrossed into it. We basically had a revolution here and internet and any type of communication with the rest of the world was blocked for a few weeks, I only had WW installed at the time that can be played offline and I haven't yet played already. So for those couple of weeks its the only game I played and the only game I was able to play so I kinda felt like I had all the time in the world, finding the filler content wasn't annoying to me, it actually made me happy because there was more to do, I was happy to be grinding this game cause I just had something to do and some reason to continue playing.
Regardless of the atrocities that happened those few weeks, I somehow had one of the best gaming experiences during that time. So its kinda funny, the things that some people find a con, even I would find a con, turns out to be a positive depending on your situation. Nowadays having too many games available to play makes me not truly able to invest myself into games like I used to.
My top 3 favorites are Majora’s Mask, Twilight Princess, and Breath of the Wild 🔥
valid 👌
Same!!! Best three games!!
My problem with BOTW is that it's an amazing open world sandbox game but a crappy Zelda game. It has the worst dungeons and bosses in the series and very underwhelming NPCs and music compared to the other games, plus a really nothing plot. Plus the loss of items was a huge step back, and removed a lot of the difficulty progression and variety that the franchise is known for.
Great Video! You are extremly underrated. i wish u best of luck. im already excited for the next video
tyty, I really appreciate it! 😄
wind waker is one of the best zelda games to speedrun, but i can agree, it's pretty poorly paced casually. like, when it's good, it's really good, but that's sandwiched between the gaming equivalent of trudging through quicksand.
Just finished the vid and was shocked by seeing 1k subs. By the commentary, production, jokes, and overall great analysis I was shocked. Not gonna be surprised when I see you with 100k+ next year. Keep up the incredible work, off to watch the Ocarina vid!
if you look for every memory in botw you get the true ending
idk if anyone else said this yet, but the only real way to truly experience Majora's Mask is to get all the masks in the game. The main story, while great, is also kinda simple. You get to know so much more about the world and the people in it when you do all the side quests. There is also a bonus at the end of the game for doing so, but if you haven't heard about it, i wont spoil it but its totally worth it just based off cool factor alone
oh I got all the masks and gave them all to the kids. I just didn't put on the deity's mask bc I wanted the fight to be challenging. As for the bonus i'm sure I missed that 😂
@@henori_oh well I figured you just didn’t get all the masks. 😂 the deity mask was the bonus I was talking. I assumed you missed it cuz I didn’t see it and it’s actually an easy thing to miss for a first time blind player. Most people wouldn’t go out of the way to do all the side quests unless they are completionists
I didn't even know until a viewer told me to do it. didn't spoil the "what " but just told me to get all the masks since it was worth 😂
Fun fact for twilight princess once getting the master sword you can still technically attack the bosses with the original sword to deal damage but it’s just longer and tedious but it puts more of a challenge that way
great for a second playthrough 👍
@ I will warn you it won’t work against the ice boss or the Zant fight or Ganondorf
@@henori_I just remembered some thing when going for breath of the wild master sword put some wood down right in between the sword and you let it on fire and then sleep but make sure you’re looking up at the sky were it says sleep and pole if you do it correctly and you go to the next day you’ll be able to take the master sword without even trying to pull it
ahhh interesting, always cool seeing these strats lol
@ Agreed another cool strategy is for tears of the Kingdom don’t even go for the master sword as soon as you take on the final fight you’ll just get it automatically there without having to go through the hassle of getting the second wheel of stamina
Dude, Didn't expect to watch the full Video but you kept me hooked, wanted to check out the rest of your channel and found out you're new! Not only that watched your first 3 videos and the variety of your channel is amazing! Keep up the good work!
Mine would be
S: MM, TP, SS
A: WW, OOT, Botw
B: N/A
C: Totk
Tears would’ve been good if there was no Botw, but Botw is superior to Tears in every way imo, better hero abilities, better map design, the only thing they improved was dungeons (barely cause they’re still garbage) and boss fights
Midna and Medli are the best assistants in all of Zelda.
agreed. I love them 😁
9:55 LETSGOOOOOOOOOOO
Majoras mask over OoT is all i wanted from this video, the rest is extra
lmao nice 😂
RIGHTTTT ITS JUST GOT SOMETHING OOT DOESNT HAVE YK

lool very nice 🫡
Majora’s Mask 3D turns the Twinmold fight into a full-blown cinematic kaiju battle, not just “Link’s regular moveset but with giant SFX”
yeah im realizing now the remakes really do add a lot 😂
It didn't control well and the fight went on for too long, though. All of the additions and changes in the 3D version were awful besides being able to choose the time you fast forward to.
@@AnaverdGaiden Yeah, MM "Remake" was one of the worst remakes...they ruined the bosses for no reason, too...WHY?
If you want, in both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, if you use a Horseriding or OoT Link Amibo, either will summon an Epona into the games.
Edit: It's the Smash Bros Link and TP Link that summon Epona.
Oh, she appears with the horseriding one too?
@linklink3069 Thanks for questioning me. I was completely wrong. It's the Smash Bros Link and TP Link that summon Epona.
So happy to see the love for MM, It's always been my favorite Zelda and it's still my favorite game of all time
looking back, it deserves S honestly 👌
Zelda twilight Princess is my favorite by far, so many child memories, but THIS: 15:03 OMG, was something too much funny.
lmaoo thank you ! 😂
Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and ToTK are my favorites
VERY solid favorites! 👌
@henori_ Ty
I'm curious why ToTK? I felt really let down by that game. From the fact that the game is 90% recycled to the awful dungeons and literally nothing story, it was like they learned nothing from their mistakes in BOTW and instead just doubled down on bad ideas. I feel like the Zonai devices were the one good thing in the game, but they should have been saved for an actually new title and not just "overpriced BOTW DLC"
@AnaverdGaiden BoTW felt pointless. I would play the game for a little bit, but inevitably get bored and move to something else, and that never happened with ToTK. I constantly found it fun to play, the mechanics are awesome, and the story* is great. Both new areas are fun, the shrines are more fun than BoTW(albeit they both suck), and it was just generally a more fun time. BoTW seems so mid compared to ToTK.
*the story from the Dragon Tears is great, but the characters and stuff in the present weren’t awesome, probably due to the fact that it had more story than BoTW
@@Drydoctor-qo5wtWhen it comes to the story, I was really let down how every dungeon's cutscene was just the same exact copy pasted scene over and over and over again, I think it is bar none the laziest storytelling I've ever seen in a game. Plus Ganondorf is his worst incarnation yet, he basically does nothing and his finale is such an underwhelming letdown.
When it comes to the sky and the depths, I think they got reaally lazy with both of them. The sky barely has any islands and a majority of them are tiny and copy pasted, and the depths is the exact same assets everywhere you look with many parts that feel AI generated rather than actually created be the developers. I will agree that I liked the shrines, though, they were fun to do the first time. The dungeons were absolutely atrocious, sadly. I respect your opinion but I was really expecting more out of the game, it felt more like a budget title than the actual next big Zelda experience.
you summoned an entire fandom. good video!!
thank you! 😁
Came for the Twilight Princess love and stayed for the rest ;D
tp deserves it 😌
Great video, bro! Really like the editing.
Greetings from Mexico!
thank you 😁👋
TP where it belongs, thank you sir
Awesome playthroughs dude!! I like your rating score too. Also, you got rocked during the thunderblight ganon in BOTW because you were wearing weak armor. You can upgrade armor at the great fairies! Maybe you just wanted to blaze through without it which I respect too. Was fun to watch :)
33:50 I am convinced this is exactly what the game designers intended
Made me smile, nice video bro 🤙
to me at least this is the definitive tierlist of the 3d zeldas from an unbiased source with compliments and complaints all i agree with, i have personal favourites but to me this is the objective ranking, very well though out and he ACTUALLY PLAYED THE GAMES UNLIKE MOST, well done man, subbed
I do be trying my best 😌
but thank you, I really appreciate it!!
Windwaker as valid as the criticism is, hurt my soul. Nostalgia will always keep it as S for me. Played the HD version as a kid 😔
lwk underated youtuber
tyty I appreciate it! 😊
You know, watching this video made me realize that the Master Sword from BOTW and TOTK should be able to gather lightning like how it did in Skyward Sword.
In my opinion these are my favorite 3D Zelda Games.
1. The Wind Waker
2. Breath of the Wild
3. Majora’s Mask
4. Ocarina of Time
5. Tears of the Kingdom
This video make me laugh like hell and remember how magical the franchise is, good work bro im eager to see more videos from you!
Bro what an amazing video, you should have a lot more subscribers. Glad you could make up for the blasphemous wind waker slander with the Totk praise.
tyty! haha mb for the wind waker take, totk is goated tho 👌
What's good about TOTK outside of the Zonai mechanics, though?
I can't agree more on how you positioned each game. Great video :]
thanks! 😊
I recommend the 2D ones too
ty for the recommendation, I'll definitely visit the 2D games in the future. just don't wanna burn out from playing too much Zelda hehe 😅
Hell yeah, Link to the Past and Minish Cap are the best!
@AnaverdGaiden Minish Cap is awesome. Never fully played through LttP though, always lost interest after I beat the mace miniboss guy
@@Drydoctor-qo5wt Oh you definitely should come back to it, LttP is so good. You can beat it in just a few hours, so it's worth setting aside some time to finish.
Having 6 hearts at Great Bay Temple is crazy, I always have like 10-12
Windwaker is literally the #1 Zelda game.
I 100% agree with Twilight princess and Totk being in S
First time playing majoras mask yeah I give it an A but the more you sit down and think about stuff in that game the more the game is an S tier game everything about it is amazing
that's how I feel as well. it's more of a S- or A+ for me. I think it was just hard for me to look back after playing totk 😫
Yeah, I agree. As a kid I preferred Ocarina of Time more, but as an adult nothing beats Majora's Mask
It was so painful watching him die to thunderblight because he didn't switch to his good armor
my favorite is still botw but I do think totk did most things better. especially all the little secrets hidden around the map that arent koroks which make it worth to explore
agreed 👍
36:30
"Wait WTF is this? How do I read this map?"
We all had the exact same thought. That elephant's map layout was intentionally confusing as hell.
Both Wind Waker HD and Skyward Sword HD fix some of the pacing issues.
oh for sure, glad they made big improvements to those games 👍
First video of you that I watched. Bro I loved it hahahahah, keep up the great work ❤
I know this is subjective n all but damn...putting one of my favorite games alone in C Tier hurt a lil bit xD
Anyway, my top 3 3D Zelda games would be:
1.Wind Waker
2. Twilight Princess
3. Tears of the Kingdom
i'm sorry 😅 maybe I wasn't in the right mood idk but i'll definitely try out the HD version since it made lots of improvements!
that's a great top 3 tho 👍
@@henori_ Haha no need to apologize. People have different tastes and that's totally fine.
Personally, I've never played the HD version but I heard it improved a lot on the long tedious sections of the game by giving you a better sail and shortening the triforce quest, so you might like that one better :)
I'm seeing a lot of TOTK on top 3 lists here, it honestly feels like new game blindness. Like, I feel like in terms of the actual design of the game it's pretty mediocre, but people are still riding the high of it being the newest Zelda game. I think in 20 years people are going to be a lot more sour on it (like a reverse Zelda cycle, if you will)
@@AnaverdGaiden Honestly, fair point. I actually thought the same a while back and for some people it is most definitely true, but not for me personally. I actually moved it up from number 5 to 3 just recently XD. I just really love open world games and personally I don't think the game design is mediocore at all, I absolutely adore it. But at the end of the day stuff like that is mostly subjective. You still have a valid point tho, I just don't think it applies to everyone.
To be fair, it is number 3 only on my top 3 3D Zelda games. Overall it is "just" number 4 xD
@@Ray-ew4yy I appreciate you being open minded, and I respect your opinion! Personally I feel like the game just flounders in a lot of ways. The story copy pastes the same cutscene after every dungeon and Ganondorf is totally wasted, the """final dungeon""" is a generic cave with zero buildup, the Zonai don't actually add anything to the plot and their lore isn't developed whatsoever, and the dungeons are all just a couple of shrine puzzles stapled together without any sort of interesting music, memorable visual themes, or a sense of progression, plus there's no unique enemies or minibosses in them. The game itself is also mostly copy-pasted from BOTW, and the new elements like the sky and depths feel half baked. The depths is just the same assets everywhere and the sky islands are all really small, there's barely any of them, and the same ones are reused all over the place.
When they announced the game I was thinking "this is going to be Breath of the Wild but with all of the problems fixed". But instead they just sort of made the same exact game again with the Zonai mechanics included. While the Zonai mechanics are fun, I feel like they're wasted on a game that doesn't try to excel in any meaningful way. They would have been more fun to see in a game with a new world, new art style, and actually memorable dungeons, characters, and plot. TOTK honestly made me question Nintendo's ability to make future Zelda games, and that's coming from someone who loves the series to death.
This was a really fun video. Subbed
Ocarina of Time will ALWAYS be the greatest game of all time. Never to be touched.
one of the goats, no doubt about that 👌
Awesome video mate. That’s a lot of work
tyty! 😁
yah, wind waker has the problem of... it was never really finished. There were supposed to be more and better islands, two more dungeons, and no triforce quest in the first place. Most of the other issues can be solved by playing the Wii U version.
mmm so i've heard. I think it'll be a while before I revisit wind waker, and it'll definitely be the Wii U version
@@henori_ it does look... different, and not always in a good way.
noted, ty!
@@Ep1cBramb10I personally like the extreme lighting in the Wii U version but yeah not everyone is a fan. Plus the colors take a hit because the Wii U only supports Limited Range RGB
I love that you loved mm and tp so much. As sequels go they are bangers and totally agree with your assessment on the dungeons of tears.
tp and mm were amazing! yeah a little disappointed with the totk dungeons but the expansiveness and game mechanics made up for it, at least for me it did 😂
The problem with WW is the dev hell it was subjected to. It WAS unfinished.
yeah that's unfortunate 😔HD made lots of improvements tho so gotta be happy with that
part of why you died so much to Thunderblight Ganon is because you had god awful armor on, you see those little numbers on the armor in the menu, that's how much defense they grant, bigger numbers are better
but i wanted to look good 🥲
all jokes aside, I love challenging myself and am honestly fine fighting things when i'm weak. I did the bare minimum getting the heart containers 😂
My top 3:
1. Tears of the Kingdom
2. Breath of the Wild
3. Skyward Sword
a very solid top 3 👍
I think the main problem with ocarina of time it's the gameplay.
It's much more about puzzles than fighting enemies, wich probably explains why twilight princess is on S tier, the better balance between puzzle solving and combat make the pacing of the gameplay fun.
1. Twilight Princess
2. Majora’s Mask
3. Ocarina of Time
4. Wind Waker
5. Skyward Sword
