Nometet.com: Now, since the release of the Wii there has been various reactions to the console, ranging from "Oh wow, amazing, motion sensors!" to "this *cough* is *cough*". So it's time to investigate the Wii - fun, or junk?
TheGamer Writes "In my experience, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess’ once-warm reception has chilled somewhat over the years. Praised at launch as a beautiful return to form after the “childish” art style of its direct predecessor, the world eagerly embraced a game that more closely followed Ocarina of Time’s famous structure and plot cues. Perhaps most alluringly of all, the grandeur and sheer scope of this reimagined Hyrule Field wowed millions of us."
The best Legend of Zelda games experiment and tackle new grounds for the industry. These are the essential titles in the series you need to play.
I am a huge Zelda fan and love them all, but for me Ocarina Of Time is the greatest and my second all time favourite game after Final Fantasy VII.
You sir, have good taste in games :)
I also love all of the Zelda games but I adore Windwaker (Specifically the HD version on WiiU) most of all. It is a close run thing with Breath of the Wild though.
Special mention to Cadence of Hyrule too, what an awesome spin off title that was!
Cheers Spuds, yep i love Windwaker too, beautiful artstyle, and i loved sailing and finding all the secrets out there.
Agreed. For me top 3 of all time is.
1. ocarina of time
2. Final fantasy Vll
3. MGS1
Oh gee can't imagine what Number 1 is
....
A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker etc is better than Breath of the Wild.
I think it really depends on what you're looking for. If you want a traditional Zelda game then OoT or WW would be better to you. But if you want a Zelda game that really leans into adventure and exploration, and if you want intelligent systems/logic, BotW would be the better game.
I enjoy both. I understand why some people aren't fond of it but for me it was a breath of fresh air that I really needed. I'd become so burnt out on unimaginative games and BotW sort of made me appreciate games again, as weird as that may sound.
Right...so let's pretend ocarina of time didnt have exploration, secret dungeons and other secrets. Complex boss mechanics and exploration rewards. At least a traditional Zelda has dungeons.
What point are you attempting to make? At no point did I say that OoT didn't have any of that. However, the level of exploration and sense of adventure are vastly different between OoT and BotW.
Majora's Mask still holds as my favorite to this day, despite being the black sheep of the series.
I love them all, but Wind Walker, Link to the Past and Minish Cap are my favorites
The Switch just isn't equipped for a killer sports title like the Wii was
A lot of the points made here are true, yet let's give it a chance, because like the author said, the Wii was a motion control console and everyone did view it as such while the switch is not, so the way people view the game determines how much they invested in it, so again let's give it a chance and see
Wii sports was truly atrocious and you're saying Switch Sports will be even worse? It does not bode well for Switch Sports indeed.
Wii Sports was ok for screwing around, but the games lacked depth. Also I'm not sure why it seems like they decided to stick with the automatic player movement so all you need to do is swing to hit something. Very noob friendly but not as much fun IMO.
Wii Sports was THE game for casuals. I don’t feel many casuals own the Switch. I can’t see this doing the numbers Wii Sports did.
Course it won't, the Wii was a phenomenon. Something new with the motion tech. A curiosity to almost everyone. Obviously Switch sports won't create the same impact.

Mini Games?
I wish folks would read the article then post but that's asking for so much since it seems most hd gamers on N4g are barely literate. Anyhow. It's like this author wrote this article in 2006. He doesn't even seem to try to bring up more recent games that used motion controls well. Like wariowarez: smooth moves, No More Heroes, COD: WaW, MarioKart Wii these all made great use of motion controls and had great gameplay. This is a terrible article it may have a positive ending but it's like this was written by someone who does not play games on the wii but rather went from hearsay.
Fail
"Even with just seven games, some of you at least should see that the sports games are dominating the Wii."
Gee, I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that of the seven games cherry-picked, four were Sports games.
Look, I can draw silly conclusions based on biased samples like that too. 'House of the Dead 2/3, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, Ghost Squad, Target Terror -- even from just four games, some of you at least should see that rail shooters are dominating the Wii.'
"What shocked me, was Super Smash Bros. Brawl, designed for the Wii and the Wii alone, there was no use whatsoever of motion control."
Unless you chose the option of 'not plugging in a Gamecube controller'.
"Not even to wave that little hand cursor thing about on menus. Nothing."
/facepalm.
where is voiceofreason?
