Legend of Zelda series

Its the same game made over and over and over and over again.

Now its all variations on a theme, with new dongly bits added in.

Or at least, thats how I see it...

My favorite is Twilight Princess, but that's just cause I LOVE werewolves and werewolves are awesome and I want to snuggle werewolves all day.

Ocarina of Time is my favorite.

Console players tend be nuts for Final Fantasy 7 and Ocarina of Time, but I can't see why. As far as Japanese RPGs go, Chrono Trigger was far superior. Sorry, but it's true, and that's coming from someone who dislikes JRPGs in the first place.

Majora's Mask was a step down in quality, and let's not even discuss the later games.

Guilty as charged

No, no, no, the best Console JRPG of all time was Anachronox.

Why?

Firstly, it was on the PC.

Secondly, it was made by Canadians.

My father-in-law plays the first Zelda game to this day on his NES. He can bet it in about 6 hours now.

One of the four video games I've ever owned is Ocarina of Time. I love that game -- played it over and over, and it's still good. Though I wish I could fast-forward the story parts now.

I know how you feel, but it's kinda fun to remember the story. I haven't played it in a long time. Started to last summer and got derailed. That and I need my son's help who goes nuts because I see things flipped and he's always saying NO, Mom..go the other way...to your other right. LOL

*drools*

I've got a LoZ action figure in my room enough said

A thread after my own heart!

I have the NES original on my Game Boy and have played most of them since.

Swoon. And yay!

I've got all of the nintendo machines. and they all still work i just wish the first one saved my progress. I still love my original mario games. I never did buy Zelda till the N64 came out.

I like Zelda four swords.

I've played and beaten every one of them but the four swords.

I love the series. except the water temples.

Fav is A link to the past.

Your Legend of Zelda action figure has NOTHING on my battery powered talking Robocop figure!

"Your move...creep."

Awesome.

Loved Zelda and Link....sigh. So many fun hours......

They don't have nearly enough sex, imo.

Fortunately, we have the internet to cover for that...

Rule 34 ftw?

The LoZ series used to be great, but I feel like Nintendo is letting it become stagnant due to a lack of initiative in aging the game as the fans who started playing Zelda in its NES incarnation age. The difficulty in Twilight Princess was laughable and I feel like the boss's attack patterns were even more predictable than usual.

The franchise needs a kick in the butt. Different difficult settings, new puzzles bred from new ideas. Something. The next console Zelda will actually have to prove itself to me before I even consider buying it since Twilight Princess was such a let down, for me.

Personally, I liked Twilight Princess. And the attack patterns are supposed to be predictable, otherwise, how are you going to defeat them. However, my favorite Zelda is actually A Link to the Past for SNES. I think that had the best story and was still pure before having silly things like "bug hunting" which is one of the things I wasn't thrilled about in Twilight Princess.

Eh, I feel like this mindset is a problem nowadays. I'd rather game devs start making bosses that react based on your actions, or try to use their environments against you instead of just repeating the same tired attack pattern over and over. If their attack patterns aren't as predictable, you'll still be able to beat the boss because hopefully you're able to watch what it's doing and exploit any weaknesses the boss shows.

Or perhaps I'm just getting older and the fact that Nintendo isn't aging their games too much has finally made Zelda stale, to me.

I LOVED Zelda Ocarina of Time on the N64. I was addicted to the game. A couple of times I played over 8 hours straight! The only game I have ever gone so nuts over. I don't have an N64 any more <sigh> That's the only game I really miss that and Goldeneye.
