Unfortunately, no Zelda game has been able to legitimately claim that title since OoT (even if you feel a more recent Zelda game is better than OoT, I don't think you can argue it was as revolutionary or as far ahead of its contemporaries as OoT was for its time). Mixed with Nintendo's constant missteps in the minds of "hardcore" gamers, this has caused the Zelda series to kind of fall out of grace... For as many people claiming Skyward Sword is the best game ever just because its Zelda, there's the same amount trashing it because its from Nintendo, or it has motion controls, or it hasn't changed "the formula" enough, or they just didn't enjoy themselves while playing it.

Ah well.

Well after doing some light spoiling and playing since my last post I found out I'm almost done with the game.

This is a good game, I appreciate it, however it isn't the best zelda game. It isn't the best zelda game by a "longshot"...

Get it?

Anyway. The puzzlan was kinda meh, the enemies and combat remained slow and boring, and something just wasn't there for me. I really don't know what it is that wasn't there, it just felt off the whole time I have been playing.

I feel it's probably the 3rd or 4th best zelda game sitting behind OoT/ALttP, and possibly Majora's Mask. Also this game has made me realize just how awful I thought Twilight Princess really was.

What? You don't agree with IGN's 10 out of 10, BEST GAME EVAR?

You are a troll and a flamer! Your opinion is invalid! You are a moron! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Just a couple more weeks til I get my hands on this thing. I am pretty excited, not gonna lie.

Aye, that he is.

Barring the innovation and framework that OoT laid down, I really appreciate that each Zelda experience is very personal.

Like....OoT has a different feel than Majora's Mask, and Wind Waker feels like a different game than Twilight Princess.

If I had to pick one Zelda game that I would want to live in...I'm not sure what game I would pick.
