Ikr? The last Zelda I played before TotK was one (or two?) on GBC with seasons and time manipulation and I can‘t remember a thing about them other than the mechanics being great… So I guess they’d make an amazing „second“ playthrough?
I remember a lot more about A Link To The Past, especially being extremely anxious back then about the thief that lurks on the way to the Master Sword…
TotK didn‘t blow me away as much as it blew away critiques. There‘s just so much empty space between points of interest… I haven‘t given up on it though. Keeping it spoiler free, I’m at the part where I gotta look for someone specific down in the Abyss which is a bit daunting since it‘s big, dark, and full of enemies (I know you haven‘t played it, I‘m just rambling, apologies).

I’ve played most of them, and minish cap is definitely the best imo. The music, story, world, and nostalgia were all there for me. I also think LOZ was at its peak in the 2D era.
Also special mention, crossbow heroes for wii is C tier and LOZ CD-i is definitely A tier because Morshu

My first Zelda was… the original Zelda. Man I’m old. :)
So far I’ve played: 1-5 (Link’s Awakening on Switch), 9, 12, 16 (Switch), 19. So I’ve played almost half. I thought BotW was meh, so I’m thinking of going back and playing some of the games I’ve missed (I bought Skyward Sword and Link’s Awakening after TotK released). I never had an N64 (played Ocarina of time on a friend’s N64), Game Cube, Wii, or Wii U, so I skipped those (I switched to XBox around that time).
I’m thinking Majora’s Mask and Wind Waker next. Any thoughts?
