For years Nintendo has being dangling the proverbial multiplayer biscuit just out of reach for us Zelda fans. We can sit, stand, rollover, even complain; but we don't seem to get anything from it. Zelda is known first and foremost for being a single-player adventure game, but Nintendo has, this millennium, decided to integrate some multiplayer aspects into what we're seen in the Four Swords duo and the two DS releases. The thing is, Nintendo has never really given us a real multiplayer experience. They've always been half-asked. Frankly, it comes down to all or nothing. If Zelda is to continue with multiplayer it needs to overcome its mediocrity and provide real multiplayer experiences.
Tears of the Kingdom may be about to become everyone's new favorite, but there's one DS game that deserves more shine.
Zelda games are all incredible, but the series shines particularly bright on handhelds.
KeenGamer: "Nothing says gaming royalty like the iconic duo of Link and Zelda. Let's discuss which version of the duo is best, spanning the entire franchise. There are some versions of the characters that are more memorable and recognisable than others."
For me...
Wind Waker
Twilight Princess
Skyward Sword
BotW
These are the best Link's in that order IMO based on their backstory and general percieved personality in my eyes. Since he is silent in the eyes of the player, gotta rely on hidden backstory, motivations, and interactions with other characters to define the personality part.
Definitely Wind Waker, up until Tetra turned into Zelda which magically stripped her of her spunkyness. But once she's back to being Tetra she's definitely the most badass of the incarnations. This wasn't Link and because of that we got a character that earned the triforce and rised up to be a hero.
OoT. Link's most masculine physique plus just look at how hard that version of Zelda pwns in Super Smash Bros Melee.
I believe the term is "half-assed."
I could be wrong, though.
Especially with pokemon.It has so much potential i would love random encounters with my friends or strangers.
There are enough multiplayer games out there without having to add Zelda to the pile.
I enjoy Zelda as a single player and hope it stays that way
yeah zelda itself should not evolved around multiplayer. it should do what it best at single player experiences
Zelda isnt a multiplayer games,
its a single player game, god does everything need to have multiplayer these days?
