Top Ten Best Things About The Legend of Zelda Games

The Top Ten
The Storyline

Ocarina of Time and Skyward Sword nailed it with the story. In fact, if there was someone new to the series, I'd tell them to play Skyward Sword, then Ocarina of Time 3D.

They are my two favorite games in the series, and they supplement each other well.

The story is very important. Almost every game needs a story. Without it, what do you do?

Zelda games must have good stories. It just makes the game even better. It also gives you the reason to start your journey in the first place.

Story is, in my opinion, the most important thing in a game (ahead of gameplay, I'd say). The Legend of Zelda is certainly no exception to that.

The Dungeons

This is what drives people to play the Zelda series. It has something unique that no other game series has.

You don't hear praise for OOT because of its music. You hear praise because of its masterful dungeons, such as the Forest Temple and Spirit Temple.

You don't hear praise for TP because of its story. You hear praise because of its Snowpeak Ruins, Hyrule Castle, and others.

Dungeons are what really drive the Zelda series. For God's sake, people such as Axle the Beast, me, and a few others write dungeon reviews for that reason.

The Bosses

Stallord, Helmasaur King, Zant, Ganondorf, Majora... the list goes on and on.

You don't hear of a Zelda game with terrible combat.

The Adventure

With my second choice being the storyline, I love Zelda games for the exploring aspect.

I love riding across the overworld more than I will ever enjoy the convenience of portals (like in Twilight Princess) simply because I love it. I love The Legend of Zelda because I can explore a beautiful, unpolluted, imaginary land, something I will never do outside of the TV.

Whether you're traveling across the Gerudo Desert, solving the challenges of Stone Tower Temple, or just riding across the Great Sea, the exploration and feeling of being an adventurer is something that will never leave your side.

The Music

I actually learned a few Zelda songs on my ocarina. Ocarina of Time especially has the most beautiful songs like The Song of Storms, Saria's Song, The Song of Time, The Opening Theme Song, Bolero of Fire, and many more.

Music should probably be higher up on this list.

What I like best about the music in OoT is that it can warn you when an enemy is near, but it all sounds really cool.

It gives me chills sometimes, mostly in dungeons.

The music is fantastic! You know you've got great music when it sends a chill down your spine!

The Items

The items are great! The things they add to combat are what keep me coming back!

I loved the sandbox-ish feel you got from Wind Waker when you felt like you could do anything with the items at your disposal!

Link Link refers to several different incarnations of the same protagonist of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series.

How can you not vote for Link? He's amazing. He's LINK!

So beautiful. In Twilight Princess, the graphics looked like something out of a World War 2 survival game, but it was still worth it to see those hot eyes that shine like a hot summer lake.

In Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, he looks adorable as an 8-year-old cutie muffin.

Solving Puzzles

The amazing puzzles are so much fun, and when you beat them, you laugh.

Then there are even harder puzzles to have fun with.

Zelda Princess Zelda is a fictional character in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda video game series, created by Shigeru Miyamoto and introduced in its original entry in 1986.
Killing Things

The Newcomers

? Midna The Twilight Princess herself, Midna was transformed into an imp by Zant, who usurped her and turned her subjects into monsters. She set out to retrieve the Fused Shadows so she could take down Zant and save her kingdom.

The Contenders
Getting Killed by Cuccos
Collecting Heart Containers
Turning Into a Wolf

Link is the best as a wolf! Especially because it brings out many new things such as talking to animals, digging into places, fighting certain monsters, and having Midna!

Twilight Princess not only improved upon Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker, but it added this amazing mechanic!

It gives a whole different advantage in whichever situation you're in. You can choose which form you take later, but sometimes it's required which action it is.

It really depends on how far along you are.

Ganondorf Ganon (Referred to as Ganondorf in human form) is a fictional character and the central antagonist of Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series. He is a power-hungry Gerudo who possesses the Triforce of Power and aims to conquer Hyrule with the remaining Triforce parts.

Why do I have to kill him? I am OK with killing Ganon, but not Ganondorf!

Smashing Pots
Exploring the World
The Sidequests

Fun things to do after you beat the game. There are so many sidequests in Majora's Mask, and sidequests give you amazing rewards too!

These are probably my favorite thing about Zelda, having all of these cool side quests.

The Master Sword

I am not even close to pulling it out yet. I just beat my first Divine Beast.
