I've actually never been very impressed with Zelda, I've found them very boring, but maybe that's just me.

I don't think I've ever finished a game on the Game Boy. :p

I like zelda a lot, depending on which one, I can't stand windwaker, but I can't call it the best game ever...

I like zelda, the SNES version was definatelly the best. A nice redone on the N64 and that's where it ended.

I am in the mood for twilight princes though!!

I enjoy the appeal of Zelda. It is easy approachable and excepted by many different gamers and the gamelplay is fun and engulfing. I have gone through everyone except the first one (which I have on PSP and plan to solve some year). The evolution of Zelda usually gets complicated in its game mechanic and controlling schemes which turns many people off to the "pick up and play" charm of the preceding titles. Wind Waker was the only one that taxed my patience (because of all the sailing) but is well worth the effort once you get access to the warps. Zelda also has a high replay value with it's established fanbase. I am also looking foward to the new release. My favorite would have to be N64's Ocarina Of Time. I swapped my PS1 for the summer for a friend's N64 just to play it. The N64 version (Ocarina Of Time/ Master Quest) was released as a promo if you reserved Wind Waker for the Gamecube. Now maybe mrscardero will go through it.

I was in college when the Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past was available on SNES. :cool:




I also remember when Pong was a virtual hit, and actively trying to beat my older brother at Space Invaders on the Atari 2600.



I digress..........




Zelda is the best because the introduction of this game allowed players to save their progress. You never could do that before. If you died in the game before beating it/solving it - you started over at the very beginning. Zelda really opened up a lot of doors and made a huge and important step in the evolution of gaming.




So, yes, put me down as a Zelda-supporter. :)




Peace,

Man I can just about remember what that used to be like *shudders*.

Yeah Zelda was great... the two on the N64 were my faves but the older ones seem dated and the newer seem to have lost the spark. The innovative ways the weapons and items were used to solve puzzles was the best part so you never really felt like you were doing the standard "collect x of y and x of z, kill a boss and the game ends" type thing which has been pulled off well by very few games.

My favorite so far is A Link to the Past on SNES. I absoluty hate windwaker. I can't wait for Twilight Princess to come out, but thier is a rumor that it will be co-launched with the Revolution, and will have features available for play on the Revolution, such as using the new controler that you can wave around. Even if it is very sensitive, I don't find the thought of swinging or twitching a controller to swing the sword very exciting.

Link to the Past was the best. Followed by Ocarina of Time.

Twilight Princess looks promising

That Zelda movie has been in the works for nearly a decade. www. zhq. com, which no longer functions, used to be constantly updated with it.

Just make sure you hold in the reset button when turning off your NES.:D On a similar note, my copy of A Link to the Past no longer saves games, as the internal battery that allows this to happen is dead :eek: . Speaking of SNES games, has anyone ever played Uncharted Waters: New Horizons? In my opinion this is one of the best games EVER made. Sid Meirs' Pirates was kind of a rip off of this game (though not nearly as good) but other then that this game never got the respect it deserved. I strongly recommend it to all of you who use emulators.

I have that problem with some NES games, The Adventure of Link and Dragon Warrior resets the memory ocasionally. None of my SNES have that problem yet. Thier are some cartrigdes you can buy off of some sites that are external memory units. Those might help.

and so are the writings of William Burroughs, (who looked pretty elven himself) someone who Norman Mailer once called the best writer in the English language. He considered himself too old to be a beatnik.The Job is an essential book, a far cry from sme of his heroin writing. You might think that his trilogy with the western lands, cities of the Red Night, and the PLace of Dead Roads influenced Stephen king's epic Gunslinger 7 or 8 part series, but it was a way of intergenerational writing transference that helped build the Gunslinger's foundation rather than merely influence it. Burroughs is thought by some to have written about heroin, but he never was truly a junkie, the first person character junkie was written from with the name William was in fact fictional. burroughs was instead a narcotics cop and gave old narcotics cops inside info and once wrote, in a letter also talking about some tea (grass) "Allen, lately someone has been turning in alot of the dealers in the area (talking about new orleans) otherwise he would never have been able to write. The quest to get the woman back from Gannon, the opiate troll, is just as epic as his and King's parallel western style adventure quests.

The Calyr Church believes that there are many pathways to heaven. nonlinear gameplay first established in this game is wildly entertaining and proves this way of thinking.

"Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape."

my love for zelda started when i was 13 and played it on a snes for the first time, it took me damn near a year to complete lol, since then its just got better and better, i was put off by wind waker at first but if you put in the effort its very rewarding and the graphics and animation are very nice and a hell of a step up from the old games, ocarina was also a really nice game and taxed me no end, i was very upset with the end bosses though as it took me like 5 mins to do which was a let down as the snes version took me a lot longer to do!i really can't wait for twilight princess on the wii, the controler should make it alot more interesting lol!
