I liked Echoes of Wisdom.

I've yet to play it, but I love the LA Switch graphics and style, and the gameplay looks pretty fun!

One of the reasons why I loved the old Nintendo Power magazines.

I'd say Wind Waker is my favorite, i also have a soft-spot for Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks.

That manga is SO good.
I would have bought the paperback edition a few months ago but it was sold out at the time and I forgot about it, thanks for reminding me!

I'd say Wind Waker is my favorite

Ey same here! Along with Link's Awakening.

My favorite Zelda is probably Wind Waker. The wide-open adventure feeling of sailing the Great Sea was pretty mindblowing as a kid. It was one of the first games I played that really just nailed that feeling of going on a grand adventure for me.

 

[Graw]

I miss when Zelda games felt like disconnected legends that could have just been retellings of the same story instead of lore heavy generic fantasy sci-fi adventures that feel the need to explain and connect everything to everything else.

Agreed!
I think I've said this before on RGT, but I was really surprised when I eventually started browsing online communities and people hated the triforce hunt. That was always my favorite part because the game finally became wide open and there were so many cool islands to explore, and tracking down the triforce pieces was fun for me. I spent an entire summer playing Wind Waker. Sometimes I'd turn it on and just roam around and chill at an island to listen to the ambiance.

I still love the top-down Zelda games the most. It's just a great structure that works well nearly every time. (Okay, the newest one was a bit unbalanced, but it was an okay short playthrough.)

Link x Linkle: Go fΔΔΔ yourself. (Sorry, couldn't resist the joke.)

My favorites are Majora's Mask & Skyward Sword, though Minish Cap & Ocarina of Time was fun too.

What's the general consensus on the Link's Awakening remake like now? When it released people were hating hard, but I quite liked it. The art style in my opinion was fun and different and it really was a good way to translate the GBC style into 3D well.
As we know they tried to do something similar with Pokemon BDSP but those games are bad for a multitude of reasons, I honestly enjoyed the Link's Awekning remake a lot though.

I think it's exactly as good as the original/DX.
The only thing that makes me choose to replay one over the other is simply which style I feel like playing at the time.

 

[DunkeyKong]

Y'know what time it is

[TotzOnGaming]

Only played through Minish Cap then started a bit of Twilight Princess. Haven't gotten back into it again as of yet.

Eh, purists were hating, but most people were fine with it. The Rankin Bass art style was a beautiful bit of doubled nostalgia. The tweaks to the gameplay were all done well. The only problem was the dungeon maker, which was too simplistic. Even then, it was just a new extra that didn't effect the main game.

i just did some checking on this, since i haven't gotten very far in wind waker. you need 8 charts and tingle has to decipher them, for 398 rupies a pop. you need a wallet upgrade to hold enough to cover all of that, and the maps seem to be scattered all over. i'm pretty sure finding the maps is fun to some extent, but farming for money is the most boring part of any game.
i can see why people would hate that section. fortunately, the rest of wind waker seems to make up for that short segment.

 

[pr0xy]

My favourites are Link's Awakening DX (loved the remake, too) and Wind Waker.
And Tingle is my spirit animal.

Growing up though one of the first games that I felt have the biggest impact on me was A Link To The Past, its still my favourite Zelda game to date. All the artwork for that game really brings me to a simpler time in my childhood, when I was a stupid little 8 year old kid swinging a stick around thinking I'm Link. I feel like a good majority of us have a similar story from our childhoods.

 

[LiberoVulpes]

I mean, i am a stupid adult who swings a stick around thinking i am Guts.

That's not stupid, that's peak adult freedom!

 

[Xdqwerty]

I played Zelda 1, 2, a link to the past, links awakening dx, four swords anniversary, phantom hourglass, ocarina of time and finished none of them (yet)
