If I want to start playing the Zelda games, is there some order I should do it in, or are they all pretty much self contained?

Pretty much self contained except: ALBW is a sequel to LTTP Ages series are a twin game that should be played together (doesn't matter the order) Majora's Mask is a indirect sequel to OoT

Timeline wise it goes: Skyward Sword > Minish Cap > Ocarina. Then it splits into 3 timelines. Link to the Past > oracles > Links awakening > LoZ > LoZ 2 MM > Twilight Princess WindWaker > Hourglass > Spirit Tracks I don't know where LBW fits in. Probably in the LTTP timeline. I might be missing something in there, but that's pretty much the ridiculousness of it all. And like someone else said, it doesn't matter what order because it is essentially the same story nearly every game. Also Links Awakening might be the most insane of the series. And Spirit Tracks the most autistic. (Trains!) Also, Zelda is along for the ride. So punny!

I haven't played it, I loved ALBW, and I didn't realize it was a sequel until you just said it. Also, for those unfamiliar, ALBW is "A Link Between Worlds" and LTTP is "A Link to the Past".

LBW takes place like a 100 years after the events of LTTP.

I answered you in the Wii U thread: quote:If I had to recommend an order to play the games in, I'd go LoZ -> LTTP -> Link's Awakening -> Link Between Worlds -> OoT -> Majora's Mask -> Wind Waker Then play the rest (or don't) in whatever order you want. LTTP -> Link's Awakening -> Link Between Worlds are all very directly connected OoT -> Majora's Mask is the same Link Wind Waker after playing the others, because it's hard to appreciate the game fully if you aren't already familiar with the world and characters from at least OoT and the more Zelda you've played the better.

While Link Between Worlds is real, real good, I don't really see any reason to go straight to it instead of Link to the Past. Nothing about LTTP has aged poorly compared to most of the older titles and it's a classic. The possibilities are endless after that one but that's where I'd start. It'd be a great "intro" game.

Yeah, not knocking LoZ 1 or 2, but they haven't aged as well as the later titles. LTTP is a much better introduction to the series as it sets up the formula most of the later games would follow while still falling into the top-down style of the first game. From there the game boy games are a great continuation of the 2D style and if you want to move on to the 3D series start with OOT 3D and go from there.

I'd stay away from 1 and 2 unless you are a masochist. Just watch a LP and call it a day. They do not hold up at all and 2 was a bad game when it was released.

Before I gave up and got the reader I backed up and tried doing this untill it told me I had to turn off the system. Turn it back on and now I'm at the home screen. I don''t know what to do at this point. I got the data onto the MicroSD, now I just need the 3DS to read it. Can't I just download my DSi games again from the store? Everything else transferred over all right. Edit: Turns out you can. God loving dammit!

I disagree about 1. It's not a very long game or hard to find and absolutely everybody should play it at least once. It's one of the most influential and important games ever made, and even though LTTP is a better game in general there are still things that LoZ does better. edit: I find it constantly astounding that some people recommend never playing any old games. Imagine if people who considered themselves film buffs told people not to bother watching anything older than the late 1990's

Is 2 a bad game or just weird? It's the one with the sidescrolling mechanic, right? I never see it being talked about. Also, I'm a bit surprised that LoZ 1 was never remade for the GBA using 16-bit graphics or something.

2 is different beast in general. It is pretty drat hard and the mechanics have not aged very well compared to other games of the time. It is still a good game, but one you're probably better off watching someone else play rather than attempting it yourself.

I don't think it's fair to call it a bad game, but it's not essential like LoZ or LTTP and it's not a game for everyone. Cless Alvein posted:2 is different beast in general.

I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone, but I don't see any reason not to try a game yourself and make your own decision about it. It's one thing if it's like some completely irredeemable and forgettable piece of poo poo, but Zelda 2 is certainly not that.

irlZaphod posted:They're not recommending to never play old games. The original LoZ isn't really as good as what come later, though, and very specifically a lot of the games since the 16-bit era have followed a fairly specific formula. If The Legend of Zelda isn't worth playing, what NES or earlier era game is? I'm not saying it's the best game in the series, but it was a big milestone in gaming and if you're interested in the medium it's worth at least trying it out for the historical value if nothing else.

I loving love Zelda II. It seems to catch most of its flak from being different from the rest but given when it came out there really wasn't a "Zelda formula" yet I don't think that's really a problem. The actual action gameplay is really tight, nothing feels better than when you master the timing on hitting the Iron Knuckles with jump stabs. The final run to the Great Palace is brutal but if 8 year old me can do it so can you! In TYOOL 2015 I almost certainly wouldn't recommend it or the first game (which also owns) as an introduction but if you develop any sort of affinity for the series they are worth revisiting at some point.

Don't forget Zelda 3 and 4 aka Neutopia I and II, though you can only get these on Wii. Really good Zelda clones, somewhat more linear, good graphics and music, and has the ability to move and attack diagonally.

It really depends on what kind of games you like and the type of person you are. If you're interested in old games then there are some classics, otherwise that's what the big separation of opinion is about. Nobody is going to seriously still argue about which games were good 25 years after they were originally released right? If a game is a classic and you don't like it then maybe you just don't like old games. Link between worlds is not the "same" as link to the past, I would say it was inspired by it. Originally it was intended to be a remake as I understand. But I would never play a link to the past at this point and am loving the heck out of link between worlds. You can respect the craftsmanship of a classic title and still not want to play it.

Ok, I REALLY love the New 3DS. I now totally get why you guys prefer the XL models over the standard. I have gotten around to playing the first few missions of Monster Hunter 4 and I don't think I'm gonna stick with it. This feels like one of these games where it takes hours to get to the cool poo poo
