They already have a beautiful and functional engine, capable of reimaginings of the past as well as unique stories such as Echoes of Wisdom. I was always a huge fan of the Oracle games, as i never owned them and only played them when borrowed from schoolmates.

I've recently heard that there was a scrapped 3rd game that wasn't entirely feasible at that time. How great would it be to get a series that is both old AND new?

With OOT Remake making its debut this year, I see a lot of people want to see a remaster of TP, I’m one of them. However, is there a chance we could get remakes of Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Tracks? Phantom Hourglass is top 3 for me. I understand a lot of people didn’t give it a chance because of platform, but they are truly masterpieces! I never hear these games mentioned besides the timeline. Do people want this?

I have played the majority of the series and truly love most entries from the bottom of my heart.

I also played a few of the so called Zelda clones. My favourite, by far, was Alundra on the PS1. The world, the dungeons, the puzzles, absolutely incredible.

By the end of the year my wife and I are expecting our second child. Life is already stressful as parents, but we know it'll be even more by then. Now we'd love to play just one more game together before the stressful family life will hit us. Unfortunately the expected date of birth is before the OoT remake release 🥴

I recently did some research and found two games that look very promising:

The Adventures of Elliot

and

Elementallis

We will have to select one. Which one should we play? Or do you know one that is even better than these two?

For context: We love puzzles, it's our favourite element in Zelda games. OoA is one of our favourite games, because the puzzles were actually challenging. We also enjoy exploration and atmosphere. We don't enjoy battle/ combat a lot (it's ok, though).

Thank you!

For me, it's mainly the songs and the temple music. I also hope they don't tone down the Shadow Temple or the Bottom of the Well. If anything, I'd like them to be even scarier. I also hope they don't change the Forest Temple and the Spirit Temple.

Sorry for the long post, but this has been bothering me for a while.

I've been thinking about playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild because it's one of the games people recommend to me the most. I've always been a huge fan of RPGs, and since I don't have many games for my Switch, I'd like to make good use of it instead of feeling like I bought it for nothing.

The problem is that, after playing so many RPGs over the years, I've developed this mindset of "I have to complete every side quest, collect every item, and become as powerful as possible." Don't get me wrong—I think Breath of the Wild looks incredible.

What worries me is that it has such a massive world with an overwhelming amount of content. On top of that, I've never played a Zelda game before. I'm afraid of spending $60 only to either lose motivation and never finish it, or feel forced to rush through the game without really enjoying it.

So, would you recommend that I play it? And does Breath of the Wild work well for someone with that kind of completionist mindset, or is it more likely to become overwhelming?

Does anyone know where I can find the in game music? YT and spotify have most songs only as the piano version, but what about the "real" in game music? Is there any place where thats uploaded / does anyone have a collection or creator?

Or just the same game with some QoL changes?

I’m just past the reveal that Tetra is Zelda. I looked it up on Internet, and realized there are certain characters you absolutely have to photograph at specific moments, or else it becomes impossible to do so later.

Bosses weren't an issue, as I photographed all of them, but for the rest, I figured I could just do it later... but I actually missed Cyclos, and now I’ve just missed Tetra... and those Big Octos, because I thought I’d run into more of them, but I already killed them all…

I didn't want any spoilers before playing, but now I'm at ~70%, I took a look online and... well, there you go. You might say it’s no big deal, but when I start a game, I do it solely for 100% completion and I put my entire soul into it.

I hunted down every chest in the ocean, even secondary ones, I decorated Windfall Island entirely with Zunari Statues to beautify it, emptying my wallet for that… basically, all my efforts are wasted now, and I’ve lost the motivation to keep playing...

What if there was a majora's mask remake and all the characters that were copied assets got completely new designs? Imagine Romani and Cremia being totally distinct from Malon and Teenage Malon,yknow? I think that would separate Majora's Mask from ocarina of time a little bit more,like we actually entered a new world with new faces,i really want that since it felt off to me just seeing the same people in a different place

Links awakening [remake]
I love this game because it is an inversion of the “it was all just a dream” trope. It all being just a dream actually makes the stakes higher. The loss at the end made me emotional, and I was amazed by how small but rich this game is. Everything works. 10/10.

BOTW
This was the first Zelda game I ever played, and only one game I’ve played so far is better. It is perfection of its genre. I don’t really have more to say other than this is the game I felt most captured the adventure I want to feel from a Zelda game. 9/10

Ocarina of Time
They really nearly perfected 3D on their first try. It has great dungeons, amazing aesthetics, and the time mechanic is a lot of fun to work with. It is a little bit too by the books story wise for me to move upwards, and has some notable flaws, but overall an amazing entry. 8.5/10

A link to the past
There is no flaw in this game. It does everything it does perfectly. To me, this game is what Zelda is if you boiled it down to its essential parts. It is the trope, the origin. However, I think it’s the most flat of all the games I’ve played story wise, and doesn’t stick out as much as the games above. 8.25/10

Majoras mask
I desperately wanted to rank this game higher. The aesthetics, grief, and ending of this game are divine. However, it doesn’t work as well as a game for me. The time mechanic graded on me, especially as I just wanted to explore. It was cool how the stories and side quests interacted with each other, but at times waiting (even with time skipping) for a quest to become active was not super fun for me. The dungeons were a low point, although the actual biomes were very cool, and honestly a lot of this game is more fun to hear about than it is to play. It is a good game with a fantastic vibe, but the story itself isn’t fleshed out to the point where I think the fans interject storylines in to this game that really are just themes. I don’t agree with a lot of the fan theories, because to make this game sound cooler they skip massive essential details. The ending was my favorite part, being in that moon and letting go of all the masks to be “the bad guy”. That alone almost shot this game up some spots! 7.5/10

Zelda 1
I played this game for an hour and then put it down. It was probably a masterpiece when it came out, but it just was not a fun game for me. I hate to say it. DNF/10

Zelda 2
I played this game for about thirty minutes. Could not stand the aesthetics, mechanics, any of it. I’m sorry if you love this game I don’t think I can come back to it. DNF/10

I'm looking to get a floral type design on my bicep/shoulder area and I want it to be Zelda themed somehow... the only floral design I can think of off the top of my head is the vines on the side of that one famous Wind Waker stained glass portrait... anybody got any other ideas?
