Best 2D Zelda games that isn't A Link To The Past

[Angrist]

Hm I have to disagree with Dyne here. I really dislike Four Swords Adventures. The stupid level system bores me so much. Sometimes I boot it up and play 1 level, just because I want to beat it. At 3/4 of the level, it frustrates me so much...

I loved The Minish Cap. Had some really good parts, but in general I guess it didn't really feel like a Zelda game.

I finished Oracle of Ages, but not Seasons. I got stuck somewhere. And I hate resorting to walkthroughs, so I temporarily gave up on it. That was like 4 years ago. I always thought the gameboy screen was too small for comfort.

Link's Awakening... it was good, but it didn't really have much of a story. Because of the simple graphics, I never took it reallly seriously.

The Legend of Zelda and Adventure of Link were good, but too primitive to be the best. I never beat them by the way. The last part (incl. boss) of AoL is way too hard. And I got bored with TLoZ.

Phantom Hourglass.... I'm still playing that. I really dislike having to play the same dungeon over and over again. The rest is good. I like the ship-building and parts-collecting.

So the best after ALttP? I guess... argh I really don't know. LA or TMC. Or PH.

There's your problem. You can't play four swords with only one sword. I think half the fun I had with it was swiping at my girlfriend and having her throw me off cliffs in retaliation.

Multiplayer is key, dude.

It was really hearty and long, too, with plenty of minigames. I think it better-implemented the GBA system than Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles did.

I really like Phantom Hourglass, despite it collecting dust in my room.
