The Legend of Zelda — Page 2

Well it's ocarina of time for N64 for sure, unless it's master quest which is basically the same thing.

So if Nintendo were to approve a live-action The Legend of Zelda movie film, which games would be adapted and the reasons for your choice.

Myself A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening as it's a suitable two-parter. Ocarina of Time AND Majora's Mask are babby's foist Zelda game.

This would get my vote as well.

I'd also say to get Weta involved in the works as well. Would be most triumphant.

Don't encourage him!

 I'm not trolling or being an arse. But this'd be fucking awesome there bruva.

 Sure, anyone who's only reading this thread might think that.

^Looks like Barry Manilow, could it be magic?

Whenever I read one of ChristophMer's posts, I can't help but imagine he looks and acts like this

I come from Ebaumsworld.

That guy has far too harsh a face to be suitable for playing Link.  Jeepers.

Anyway, as evidenced by my avatar, I certainly like me some Zelda games.  I've played Ocarina of Time more times than I can count—that and A Link to the Past are definitely the best designed and the most fun to play by far.  I also like Twilight Princess a great deal, as it has the best story and characters of any of the series.  Midna to me is the Zelda version of Mara Jade, so I love her dearly, but I find the end of the game so sad that it's hard to get through it.

The only handheld I've played is Link's Awakening, but it's been a long time since I don't own it.  I can't stand the cartoonish graphics style of Wind Waker, and the gameplay of Skyward Sword is utterly terrible: not only that, SS doesn't even *feel* like a Zelda game at all; just some weird anime ripoff that suffers from Prequelitis of the worst sort.  Not worth bothering with if you like stories that actually make sense.

Since most of the 'main' games in the series had interesting sequels, I'm still waiting for a kickass follow-up to Twilight Princess, so we can see where that version of Link went after he left home at the end.  Doesn't seem like it's gonna happen, though.

 Is from a Youtube fan-short film. Oh wells.

I've never cared whether a game is 2D or 3D. In fact, A Link to the Past did the best job drawing me into its world. For example, I loved the foggy Lost Woods with the fitting music and the Master Sword deep inside. (the highlighting is a result of copy and pasting).

there's just something mystical about a link to the past

Agreed.

A Link to the Past for sure. It has the best story out of all the games in my opinion.

I love the idea of OOT and ALTTP as one big story. OOT flows into ALTTP perfectly.

Haven't a clue. I just found it while looking "annoying kid" up on Google Images.

Also, anyone else hate the official timeline? Or ANY time line? I think of most of the games as a retelling of the same legend.

There are supposed to be different Links in different games, right? Each with the same name and basic physical appearance but living in different periods of time? Yeah, it's kind of dumb to fit them all into one history.

There's always been connections between the games. The back of A Link to the Past's box says that the game is about "the predecessors of Link and Zelda" and OOT is obviously the story of how Ganon was sealed in the Dark World. However, I do think that the official timeline went too far in connecting things. For example, Four Swords Adventures is inconsistent with the other games that involve Ganon(dorf).

Has anybody else wondered about the history of the Shadow Temple? One of the voices says, "Here is gathered Hyrule's bloody history of greed and hatred." That makes me wonder if Ocarina of Time Zelda's ancestors weren't always the good guys.

 Could have been infighting or rebellion among the peoples.  Just saying "Hyrule" doesn't mean "The authority figures of hyrule".   There are bad apples everywhere!  Got one the other day, bag of fresh green granny smith apples and there was a yellow nasty apple in it.  Bleck!

How did you (whoever reads this post) interpret Demise's curse?
