THE OFFICIAL FANDOM THREAD So, I noticed that there was no fandom thread for Legend of Zelda ( SHAMEFUR DISPRAY), so I decided to go ahead and make one for what I believe is da greatest game series of all time. I mean, I feel like I don't really need to sing it's praises, but uh fuck it, I'll do it anyway. NO OTHER GAME SERIES EVER HAS MANAGED TO ADAPT AND STAY FRESH FOR AS LONG OR AS WELL AS LoZ. Seriously, pretty much every game in this series is widely considered to be a masterpiece, and yet they're all different enough to give each one it's own distinct, unique feel. Quality + consistency + longevity + evolution = Do I really need to continue. So yeah, idk, talk about stuff relating to this beautiful, arousal-inducing series of video games. Here, let's start with some simple shit: favorite LoZ game and why (you don't really have to say why, idfc). Or even rank 'em. I don't care how you do it. Just do it. Plz. ;~; (disclaimer: if u wanna talk about something else, feel free to go ahead and do it. at the very least, i'll definitely reply cuz talking about LoZ gets me rock hard.)

Wow, I completely forgot to answer my own question. |D Whoops. Anyway, my personal favorite is Majora's Mask. As great as OoT was, I feel like MM built upon it's mechanics and improved them, while adding a very interesting new one with the time cycle. It added a ton of depth to the sidequests, and made the severity of the storyline seem much realer. It was really fucking interesting/depressing to see how Clock Town was affected by having their demise literally sitting there right in front of them, and all they could do was sit and watch as it got closer and closer. Intense stuff. While some people might dislike loose-ended plots, I think it's excellent for this particular game, because there's just so much mystery surrounding it, yet there are enough implications for people to make plausible theories. It was just a really unique game with a really unique premise and story built over a perfected gameplay system, with an incredibly atmospheric soundtrack (which btw is one of my favorites in the entire series, which is really saying something considering how great the soundtracks tend to be.) Also Skull Kid > Ganon. DON'T MAKE ME PICK A FAVORITE GURU. I CAN'T DO IT-- Okay, I will. Just for you. Majora's Mask. :I Just. Umf. That game. Do I need a reason? ; n ; Can I just say EVERYTHING?
THAT IS AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. also fuq u.

i really really liked windwaker. uh, i think my ultimate favorite is majora's mask. after majora would go windwaker, and after that would be like, ocarina of time, and then skyward sword even though i seem to be terrible confused on WHERE THE FUCK I'M GOING in that game but i really like zelda in skyward she's not like, some sort of bitch that i don't really care about.
did i mention my otp is linkxganon then it's skyward!linkxskyward!zelda which is big because what is heterosexual pairings.

ZELDA IS BASICALLY MY LIFE I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY TO GO SEE THE SYMPHONY AND I BOUGHT POSTERS AND THE HYRULE HISTORIA AND ASJDHAKSJhdakSdjakjsdhas i need a life
My favourite story-wise is Majora's Mask because it's just so god damn beautiful. It's a game where you go through the motions of saving the world with the main story, but at the same time the side-quests actually make you feel like you're saving a world. Each NPC has a personality and a story and I get unreasonably upset if I can't reunite Anju and Kafei every time I play ok it upsets me.
Wind Waker has the best music tho (or should that title go to alttp i can't decide ajksdhas) the only thing stopping me from liking it more is I hate all the god damn sailing.
And gameplay wise I'm going to have to say that Skyward Sword has some of the best controls ever - it really utilised the Wiimote/motion plus and is just SO MUCH FUN. Using the bow is just the best feeling and so is the whip and I can swing my controller around like a madman and kill things and it's just really really fun.

fjdkgs WOW WHY DIDN'T I NOTICE THIS THREAD BEFORE I CAN DUMP ALL OF MY LOZ
so i've never actually played majoras mask, but i have always wanted to. my brother has been begging everyone to get that wii extension that's tanking just so he can play it when if comes out. but uh wind waker has to be my favorite because i got it when i was like five and my dad switched jobs and he told me i could have anything i wanted so i got a gamecube, wind waker, and pokemon colosseum. i used to just make my mom play it and watch her, mainly because ganon's fortress scared the shit out of me OTL but after a year or something of that i actually did start playing it.
;; i just really want mm so i can actually say i've played it.

i'm gonna say windwaker is my favorite zelda of all time #hipster
i enjoyed oot/majora's mask/twilight princess as much as anyone else and i'm so goddamn hipster i even played the older 2d ones (thank you nintendo game pack collector thing) but for me windwaker is the most abiding game, the one i always return to. it can't stand without the others (or at least the ones that came before it) but i'm a sucker for a fallen world and the old giving way to the new and bittersweet victory like a knife in my chest. probably why i love the silmarillion more than the lotr trilogy as well lmao.
and plus windwaker is, for me at least, so goddamn fun. as a kid i faced the problem of wanting to play video games/loving the story while at the same time being goddamn TERRIBLE at gaming. the only thing i'm legitimately good at is mario kart double dash i will kick all the ass, but most other aspects of gaming i suck at orz. but even as a v v easily annoyed eleven/twelve/thirteen/idr how old i was kid i never ragequit windwaker or felt like the game was conspiring to ruin my time. plus the world, man. the world. the fairies and the islands and the sailing i know people hate the sailing but i loved it.
idk cool story bro
