41. It was a Simpler Time
"You have water, come to my house" - Zelda II (A woman ushers Link into her home)
You don't have to look far for Zelda puns or innuendos, what makes it better is that Link seems like such a pure-hearted boy, who just has to wear tights and earrings because the hero of time adorned it.
42. Multiplayer Oppurtunities

45. Miyamoto created it!
Creator of the series, the game was inspired by his explorations into forests and hillsides at his childhood home in Sonobe, Japan. This seems to be why the game makes such a great childhood, coming of age story and a tale that everyone can relate too.
This article should really have been called, '1 Reason Why...' and Miyamoto should be it. But WhatCulture! is a slave driver that employs a minimum word count, and apparently 'It's Miyamoto, B***h!', isn't justified enough. But there you have it, "45 Reasons Why The Legend of Zelda Could be the Greatest Series of all Time!" Hope you enjoyed it, and add some of your own reasons in the comments below! Also, look out for our Skyward Sword review which will be up soon.
