Best Item? Either Biggoron's Sword (OoT) or Fierce Deity's Mask (MM). Both are stupidly overpowered.

Incarnation of ...? Categories don't make much sense.

Funniest Moment? Igos' Servants (MM). "Feeble."

Best Boss? Either Goht (MM) or Stallord (TP). I like their uniqueness with the roller derby vibe.

Best Guide? None.

Best Dungeon? Great Bay Temple (MM). Honorable nod to Earth Temple (WW) for having my favorite puzzle, the mirror room.

Best Game? Majora's Mask. Without a doubt, the best game ever. Let alone of the franchise.

Best Item- Hookshot (not the Clawshot) in Link in the Past.

Best Incarnation of Link- Twilight Princess Link. Not sure why but I feel he was somewhat more caring and modest seeing how he still want to help Midna despite she was just using him for her own agenda.

Best Incarnation of Zelda- Tetra from Wind Waker (that still count?) since she was actually a independant character before become the typical damsal in distress again.

Funniest Moment- Groose falling behind him when he heading back to the ground again.

Best Boss- Molgera from Wind Waker. Good use of the Hookshot and it was intense due to it hiding in the sand.

Best Guide- Midna from Twilight Princess. I just love her attitude and her giggle.

Best Dungeon- Forest Temple in Orcarina of Time. I like how twisted that dungeon can be (that corridor area) and it was literally a forest inside a temple.

Best Game- Orcarina of Time.

EDIT-Best character- Groose. Sure he was a jock/ bully type of character but it was refreshing to see such a character like that in the Zelda game and have some important role in it. Runner up would be Midna.

 

[PureChaos]

thanks for the suggestions so far, new category has been added

Best Incarnation of Zelda- Tetra from Wind Waker (that still count?) since she was actually a independant character before become the typical damsal in distress again.

oooh, sorry but no, Tetra is Tetra and becomes Zelda, so Tetra doesn't count. it would be Zelda after Tetra's awakening as Zelda.

 

[PureChaos]

Best Item? Either Biggoron's Sword (OoT) or Fierce Deity's Mask (MM). Both are stupidly overpowered.

Incarnation of ...? Categories don't make much sense.

Funniest Moment? Can't really think of one.

Best Boss? Either Goht (MM) or Stallord (TP). I like their uniqueness with the roller derby vibe.

Best Guide? None.

Best Dungeon? Great Bay Temple (MM). Honorable nod to Earth Temple (WW) for having my favorite puzzle, the mirror room.

Best Game? Majora's Mask. Without a doubt, the best game ever. Let alone of the franchise.

For the incarnations, which of the versions of Link and Zelda throughout all the games do you prefer? Pretty much which do you think looks best?

For the ones where you give 2 choices, you'll need to pick one of them to count towards the nominations. Each person can nominate one subject for each category.

I guess Sheik is out of the picture?
Well in that case I change my Zelda vote to Zelda from Spirit Track. For once she was Link partner for her possession ability at those knight. Also I find it funny and cute how she was in shock that her body was going to be used for evil and was afraid of bugs.

Oh and music- Saria song. It was catchy and very child like.

For the incarnations, which of the versions of Link and Zelda throughout all the games do you prefer? Pretty much which do you think looks best?

So, what are our options? Sprite Link (all 2d games pretty much are the same), Kid Link (OoT, MM), Adult Link (OoT), Deku Link, Goron Link, Zora Link and Fierce Deity Link (MM), Toon Link (WW, PH, ST), TP Link, SS Link or Burn it with Fire Link (CDi)?

Of them, I'd say Fierce Deity Link.

Spoiler: Badass incarnate

As for Zelda, if Sheik and Tetra aren't available, then there really isn't any difference between any of her incarnations.

thanks for the suggestions but for those where you have 2 suggestions, you'll need to pick one of them to count. Also, for the music, it's for an individual piece of music, not which game has the best soundtrack.

 

[Sean Hollyman]

My favorite Link is definetely Wind Waker Link.

At the start you can tell he thinks it's lame when his gran gives him the clothes, but when Aryll gets kidnapped, you can see the determination of those massive eyes of his.

And best music is either
or

[Lawnmooer]

Best Item - Hover Boots (OoT) just because I really liked their look and also their effect (Slide around as if on ice all the time and instead of jumping running an extra few feet off edges, a lifesaver when there is a narrow path)

Best Incarnation of Link - Adult Link from OoT is who I think of when I hear "Link" probably because he was the first I played, he also is a pretty good character what with believing he is just a normal Kokiri kid that was rather late getting his fairy, then all of a sudden he has to go fighting inside the Deku Tree and eventually finds out that he was infact a Hyrulian all along.

Best Incarnation of Zelda - Wind Waker, because she was pretty badass (Until she found out that she was Zelda and became a wimp) also because like Link she was unaware of the fact that she was so important.

Funniest Moment - Wind Waker the "Battleships" mini-game with the guy using pictures with holes cut out to change characters and doing the sound effects of the cannon fire himself "Spliiiish"

Best Boss - Shadow Link from OoT. It was a nice fight coupled with the fact it wasn't a "Use your new item on this brightly coloured part of the boss/scenery"

Best Guide - King of the Red Lions, because while he did talk to you a lot he would be left at the shore for most of the exploring of islands and so didn't become as annoying as other guides. Also he was a talking boat...

Best Dungeon - I would vote Ice Caverns from OoT Master Quest, but since that is a mini-dungeon I guess I'd have to vote for Shadow Temple from OoT Master Quest. For its challenge.

Best Game - Ocarina of Time Master Quest. But I'm probably biased because I had so much fun playing through it since it gave a heavy nostalgic feeling (From being OoT) whilst also providing some challenge through new and more difficult puzzles (Screw you Fire Temple, how the hell was I supposed to know to swing through the wall to hit that god damn switch?)

Best Music - The inside a house song from OoT, makes me want to smash pots whenever I hear it. I will always remember that tune.

Best Character - The guy from Wind Waker that does the battleship minigame for reasons stated above.

 

[Weslebear]

Best Item - Bow and Arrows

Best Incarnation of Link - Windwaker for his expressions

Best Incarnation of Zelda - Windwaker for her sassy start then elegant end.

Funniest Moment - The cheeky little cameos of other Nintendo characters throughout Link's Awakening

Best Boss - Nightmare (Link's Awakening)

Best Guide - Midna or Navi

Best Dungeon - Eagle's Tower (Link's Awakening)

Best Game - Link's Awakening

Best Music - Wind God's Aria from Windwaker

Best Character - Marin, if Link was going to have a relationship with any girl in the series it has to be Marin. IMO the first girl to really love Link but thats just me.

thanks for the suggestions but for those where you have 2 suggestions, you'll need to pick one of them to count. Also, for the music, it's for an individual piece of music, not which game has the best soundtrack.

Changed it within the quote accordingly good sir.

 

[ImProvGamr]

Best Item - Cane of Bryna (ie, Staff of Invincibility) from Link to the Past

Best Incarnation of Link - No Decision

Best Incarnation of Zelda - Wind Waker, Since she was actually useful in the final fight

Funniest Moment - Tower of the Gods reveal, Wind Waker

Best Boss - Stallord, from Twilight Princess' Arbiter's Grounds

Best Guide - King of Red Lions, because he doubled as your transportation. It basically be like if Epona suddenly started talking and helped you on your way.

Best Dungeon - Arbiter's Grounds from Twilight Princess, because the Spinner was so freaking fun.

Best Game - A Link to the Past, because of expansiveness and nostalgia blindness, being the first Zelda game I ever played

Best Music - Edit: Gohdan's boss theme

Best Character - Groose, because he's the only character who really started out as a dick but then had some really good character growth at the end.

 

[Exius Xavarus]

Best Item - Razor Sword(Majora's Mask)

Best Incarnation of Link - Hero of Time(Ocarina of Time)

Best Incarnation of Zelda - Twilight Princess

Funniest Moment - Casting line and hooking the fisherman's hat(Ocarina of Time)

Best Boss - Too many awesome bosses for me to list just one, so my vote's null here

Best Guide - Tatl(Majora's Mask)

Best Dungeon - Water Temple(Ocarina of Time)

Best Game - Majora's Mask

Best Music - Clock Town(Majora's Mask), followed closely by Gerudo Valley(Ocarina of Time)

 

[Shock and Awe]

Best Item - Bow, for long range fuck you potential.

Best Incarnation of Link - Probably Wind Waker or Skyward Sword, their the most relatable

Best Incarnation of Zelda - Skyward Sword, mostly because few others look at her character at all.

Best Character: Groose, I started out utterly despising him, but really liked him in the end.

Funniest Moment - When Zelda chastizes link for doing his signature item raising.

Best Boss - Probably the Final Boss in Skyward Sword, I felt like a total boss the whole time in that fight despite it being hard as mess.

Best Guide - Navi, yes annoying but you can't argue with auto targeting.

Best Dungeon - Not quite sure, always been an overworld guy, but I'll go with the Tower in Link to the Past, cant recall the name.

Best Game - Skyward Sword

 

[piplink]

I'm just voting for one category: best music

Gerudo Valley. Hands down.

 

[syndicate]

Best Item - Bombs

Best Incarnation of Link - Original LoZ

Best Incarnation of Zelda - Windwaker

Funniest Moment - Just looking at any of the characters from Skyward Sword, such as Groose, because they all look utterly retarded

Best Boss - Ganon

Best Guide - Not really bothered...Zelda?

Best Dungeon - Ice Temple from L2TP

Best Game - Wand of Gamelon! Just kidding, Link to the Past

Best Music - I'll say the Overworld Theme from Zelda 2: Adventure of Link, because it's so damn catchy and from an underrated game

Best Character - Tingle!
