I know, I know. That headline up there must make you think I’m a maniac. How can somebody take such a successful commercial enterprise as the video game industry, where nearly-perfect games are released constantly, and name the best of the best?
Well, I will.
Yes, you have the “Mario,” “Metroid Prime,” “Final Fantasy,” “Resident Evil,” and even “Call of Duty” series. But, “The Legend of Zelda” series is leaps and bounds ahead of the others.
"Thanks to the wonders of the Nintendo Switch Online retro games libraries (and some pretty top-notch remasters along the way), the Switch is now home to a whopping 16 different Zelda titles by our count, covering everything from Link's first outing to his latest adventures, plus remakes, remasters and spin-offs." -Jim Norman of Nintendolife
Still odd Twilight Princess and Wind Waker HDs still haven't been ported yet unless they're doing GC for NSO.
Yea, currently Windwaker HD is my only huge regret left of not owning a WiiU. Seeing as how they brought most everything else major, I'm confident they will. The Starfox game is another missing game, but it never looked that good to me compared to the rest of the series.
I really can't believe they haven't done a remake of Ocarina of Time, or at least use the 3DS version as a jumping off point.
Yes!! An Ocarina remake would sell like hotcakes, and once it's proven sales, a Majora's mask remake would be a shoe-in bc of the nature of its many shared assets.
Seems like a sure seller to me, I'm surprised that Zelda's anniversary was so bare bones, I was really hyped for some sort of HD collection that had may/may not include OoT, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess and Wind Waker.
Yeah it was super lacklustre for the anniversary
Even some kind of old school collection I’d have liked to see
Links Awakening
A Link to the Past
The Minish Cap
Oracle of Seasons / Ages
Here are five franchises I believe need the turn-based treatment and how it should be done. Check out the article
Want to play nearly every single Zelda game on one Nintendo console? Well you can, but it involves getting hold of a Wii U.
Not sure why you got downvoted when you are right on the money... You got the NES game, Super Metroid, the two GBA games (Fusion and Zero Mission) Metroid Prime Hunters (story mode only) and the Metroid Prime Trilogy and Other M on backwards compatibility or digital download. If you like or want to get into Metroid, that's the system to get.
@proxy, I can only speak for myself but I vote based on the comment a person makes, not the person saying it. Others on this site seem like they hold a grudge and vote against a person no matter what.
Or a moderately recent PC, CEMU is amazing. Even a 1050 can emulate the games at a higher res than the Wii U :)
Cemu, like almost every emulator, is CPU bound. My 750ti was enough to beat BotW at 1080p/30 with greatly enhanced textures and shaders.
Yeah, luckily you don't need a crazy CPU anymore to run it. If you're trying to exceed the default framerates of games like in Botw you need a beefy CPU, but very few games have fps unlock mods. So a decent quad core does the job :) the best part is playing games like MK8, Pikmin 3, etc at 4K. The art styles are so clean and crisp and hold up great!
No you just need this https://cemu.info/ and the roms. It will look so much better on the PC even in 4K, you can even use reshade to make it look even better. How about a little ray tracing to 😁 https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Yup I you can even play A Link btw Worlds and upscale OoT 3D and MM 3D :). Only reason I still play Zelda on Switch / 3DS is for portability.
I don't like using the phrase "greatest/best of all time," but I will say that I really do like the Legend of Zelda series and it is one of my personal favorite video game series.
It's not quite just the series itself but it's gameplay formula
a world makes a game but mechanics, smooth gameplay , amazing polish and enjoyable formula defines it
An opinion is an opinion, not a fact.
Example...
"CoD is the greatest video game series of all time"
Reasons:
1,2,3, etc.
therefore i reject your ideas/opinions as i hold mine to be greater than yours.
Basically saying anything is greater than the other is universally wrong. So rather than making an article out of it, you (author) can simple put: "because it is my opinion".
Well... I don't know about the Skyrim bit... but I agree. Zelda is perhaps the greatest and most evolving series of all time.
Nope. No such thing. It's all well and good to hold the franchise in such high esteem, but it still winds up being simply your opinion.
