It's funny how video game discussions go in cycles. 9 years ago, a new Zelda game was coming out and everyone was strung up on a graphics debate. On a whim, I drop by to see what's new in the video game world, and a new Zelda game is coming out and people are debating graphics. The cycle...

Doesn't having all of them in second place kinda defeat the purpose of ranking them? :p Personally, this may date me a bit (carbon date, perhaps?), but nothing will ever top Super Mario Bros. 3 for me. When it first came out, wasn't just a game, it was a status symbol. If you had Mario 3...

Keep begging. I would tend to say that the Gannondorf portrayed in Wind Waker is a more developed character, given that they expaned his backstory enough to give him motivations beyond simple megalomania, but the tradeoff is that he isn't as menacing. He's easier to understand, which I...

Excellent. I've been waiting for a new general Zelda thread to come along since the last one died a few years ago. Just don't get me started on continuity or this thread will jump to several hundred pages. :p A LttP remake, eh? I dunno, about that. I mean, don't get me wrong, it was a...

As someone who was not a big fan of the Wind Waker Cell-Shaded graphics, I take offense to that statement. Don't get me wrong, there were people who just took a single glance at Wind Waker and wrote it off, but there were also a lot of people who sat down, played the game, and decided for...

Ah, the Mario series. To me, the question of which is the best is hard to answer, because it means saying that the rest of them are not the best. I mean, take the original for example; it's a milestone in gaming, one of the first truly great games, and originator of one of the most...

Everyone's got to start somewhere, right? And it sounds like you should get a copy of Brawl if you don't already have it. As someone who usually enjoys playing more than watching, I have a hard time putting the Spectator Mode down, so I expect you'd enjoy it. Well, having seen...

Wow. It took me a little while to tell if you're actually serious. Okay, so good and evil really are a spectrum. There is a little bit of both in everyone, and it isn't like there is a specific, agreed-upon line which, when crossed changes ones entire being to fit the profile of one or the...

Heh, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you weren't gaming when the original Legend of Zelda came out (before gamefaqs, and let's face it, games that actually gave you some semblance of direction). I gotta say, not to sound condescending, but I don't understand the point of playing a...

Yes, Majora's was a very good game. Actually, the first Zelda game I actually owned myself. I think what kept it from being better for me were three major factors. The first how short it was. Sure, there was an insane ammount of side-quests, but for me, that couldn't quite make up for...

You forgot one; Option 4 - BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! No, seriously, I'll give it a rental and see how it looks before I make any decisions. I have the "advantage" of being broke at the moment, so I won't really have to worry about game purchase decisions. Unfortunately, that comes the with...

Most definitely. Hype only works in your advantage in the short run. If you announce a game and delay it for MORE THAN A YEAR your going to create unrealistic expectations. And that's if you can even maintain the hype that long. Which Nintendo didn't do the best job of. Makes me think tht...

I'm somewhat torn about posting in here. I mean, to me OoT will always be one of the best games of all time, but it's quite old, and there isn't much to say that hasn't already been said. A lot. So, the Mods will probably close this soon. On the other hand, the Zelda Timeline Debate Thread...

To answer the question posed in the title, yes. Yes and yes. With a side of yes. And yes for desert. I don't mind Tingle-fan(s), though. I just don't get them. Also, since when is Keith Richards a literary character?

Thank you, sir. Or ma'am if the case may be. It always astounds me how infinite the human capacity to ignore facts can be. Forget the truth, let's all just invent something that sounds good. Since I wore overalls and a fake mustache last halloween, I MUST be Mario. :p Oh well, I...
