The Legend of Zelda: Ranking Every Game From Worst To Best

zelda There are few names in the gaming world that demand the level of respect that The Legend of Zelda does. It may not be the highest selling video game series in the world (it€™s never even had its own Mountain Dew flavour), but anyone who seriously calls themselves a gamer could never deny the importance of this franchise. With a perfect blend of action, adventure, puzzle-solving, and RPG elements, the games are truly unique and have spawned countless imitators, none of which have been able to capture the magic of Zelda. To call the series €œlegendary€ has become a cliché, but it€™s only a cliché because it€™s been said over and over again by millions of different people. At 27-years-old, which in game years is like 92, Zelda is still looking great. And 2013 is shaping up to be the biggest year for the series since 2011; both a remake of The Wind Waker, and A Link Between Worlds (a sequel to A Link to the Past ), are being released in the coming months. In honor of these upcoming releases, I€™ve decided to examine the history of Link€™s adventures to rank the games from worst to best. I€™m going to do my best to rank these objectively, but I realise that some guy is going to complain and say €œI can€™t believe you ranked so low!!!!1€ So maybe I can€™t please everyone, but hopefully I€™ll p*ss off as few people as possible. Note: I didn€™t include Link€™s Crossbow Training for the Wii, or the Phillips CD-i games. If you don€™t understand this exclusion, then you don€™t know enough about Zelda to be reading this list.
