I love Zelda. This is quite an understatement, as I’m addicted to Zelda, and require some amount of rupee/triforce/sage medallion liberation regularly. I am pretty good at most of the Zelda games out there, and have only missed out on a few of the games because I didn’t own the respective system. This will be remedied with time, mind you, but at present I have beaten:
The Legend of Zelda
Zelda 2: The Adventures of Link (Incomplete)
Zelda: Link’s Awakening
Zelda Ocarina of Time
Zelda Ocarina of Time Master Quest
Zelda Majora’s Mask
Zelda Windwaker
The only ones I am missing out on are the Super Nintendo version, as I don’t have a Super Nintendo, and the two game boy versions that sync up, which I didn’t get because I felt like Nintendo was trying to cheat me, making me buy two of the same game. That’s likely the case, but I’ll buy them soon as they are likely cheaper now anyhow.
The 2d versions carry nostalgic value for me, but are arguably some of the best fantasy games out there, and are extremely replayable. The 3d versions are fan-fucking-tastic. The puzzles range from painfully simple to painfully difficult. They are getting better at including side missions/quests, extra fun things to do, and nifty new items and concepts. I am chomping at the bit for a new Zelda game, and welcome any suggestions of other Gamecube games that would appeal to a Zelda head like me.
Oh, and Link delivers the major ass kicking in Soul Calibur 2.
