You're driving me insane. Please beat a Zelda for my sake.

Link to the Past and you're good to go for life.

OoT > aLttP

Yeah, I said it. Come at me :P

I just found Ocarina more interesting. Don't know why. The story was more interesting and I loved the dungeons. The 3DS version is the one to play.

Occarina of Time doesn't measure up to A Link to the Past.

All the (non-CDi because some smarmy bugger always posts that right afterwards) Zeldas are good. Most are great.

I personally prefer Ocarina to ALTTP, but dammit they're both fantastic.Play all the Zeldas except the CDi games you pedantic gits

Haha yeah, I concur. I have never played a Zelda game and thought "well this sucks".

I agree. I have yet to put down any game in the series.

The thing about Ocarina is that it's basically A Link to the Past in 3D. Very, very similar structures. But I think LttP wins out because everything is just paced so rapidly.

I like both, of course. And until the 3DS remake, I wouldn't have put OoT anywhere near my top Zelda games. It still ain't beating out LttP or LA, though. It does, however, beat out the Oracle games, the DS games, and Minish Cap (although I love the last one). It might even beat out ALBW, but it's close.

See, 2D helps, but it's not the prime determinant! :)

There has never existed a game series in history where the 3D installments were better than the 2D ones.

I think you would be horrified to hear some of my favourite games from respected classic series.

Let's start by me telling you that 4 of my top 5 favourite Zelda games are in 3D.

The other one is Oracle of Ages. Sorry A Link To The Past fans
