I really have to restrain myself to not comment on some of the undeserved Zelda hate in here, as it's one of my favourite series of all gaming XD I love just about everything about it really. Art design, characters, world design, gameplay, music. Everything.
Poll: The Legend of Zelda....Why do you love or hate it?

Love, love, love it. I've played all the games (most of them multiple times) except for Spirit Tracks, and liked them all except for Phantom Hourglass. Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time are both in my top 5 games.
It never gets old to me. Zelda games have pure fun and polished gameplay, with well-design worlds and some cool puzzles. I'm super excited for Skyward Sword.

My favorite part about the game is faffing about with the weapons. The dungeons are boring to tread through. The story is so uninteresting it might as well be non existent. and most of the time nobody especially link is interesting enough to care about. But yeah it's fun to run around and beat monsters up with unorthodox weapons, slash them up with a sword, and then just blow them up with bombs. Everything else. Ehh. I don't even know how anyone can go about caring.
I've never owned one, I've played a few of them at a friend's place(he's a huge TLoZ fan) and I find them to be entertaining in small "doses", play through a dungeon, stop, play something else and then go back and continue. I'm thinking about getting Link's Awakening DX for the 3DS from the eStore, so that'll be a good start methinks.
I've played every damn Zelda game, except for Wind Waker...
And I'm only 17!
Never beat the first 2 though..... Gosh, they were hard!
Guess I'm a lover : )

Because in the overmap, you had to figure out how to get past object X, or how to get to the next dungeon. And in the dungeon, you had to figure out how to get to the boss.
Though I can see this actually happening less in Zelda games.

I dislike that argument. Too many people here think that kind of nonsense actually applies to the real world in any context. It doesn't.VikingSteve said:
In the NOT real world of gaming, however, I like the Legend of Zelda series for the most part. It gets a little weary with the constant storyline every single time. I don't really mind the set-pieces, as they're your standard Greek epic, but I dislike how a lot of the characters from years past in the Zelda universe keep reappearing. Can't Gannondorf for once like die in a game and still be dead in the next one? What I would think to be a cool plot-line is that Link and Zelda would go up against some crazy alien force from somewhere else, and they'd have to release/resurrect Gannondorf for his raw power in order to combat it. Sort of like in the second paper Mario game where you got to play as Bowser? Now THAT I wouldn't mind.
Why do I keep playing Zelda games even though they will NEVER take my idea into consideration? Well, because it's Zelda. Why do you keep buying the next CoD, or Mario, or Metal Gear Solid? It's an icon of the gaming world, probably the only reason I bought the Wii (that and Brawl). You play it to see the new weapons, new graphics, and new writing spun into the comfy, well made set pieces of an age long series (Even if they are reused shamelessly).
It is ovvveerrr rated. Why are monsters randomly in these rooms? Why arn't they eating each other in starvation? How does Ganon come back every death? When will this cycle of death and re-birth effing end? why does Gannons plan never change?

i love LoZ more than any other game and i always have since playing it on NES when i was four, im 15, so fuck you for saying its a kids game you fascist scum bag. you know the people who want to stop video games? well they've said games are childrens toys all around and since you come to this site id feel like you oppose that statement. my classic favorit is OoT because its the first game i beat alone (of couse now ive finished them all atleast twice minus the handheld Loz games after the GBC) but my favorite is probably TP because i just loved it story over all the others. it did piss me off though that link went with zelda once again (SHOCKER!) and didnt go with Ilia who is my personal favorite female character in any LoZ or any game in general. i mean would it really have killed them to break the usual mold and give us a new love interest for link? im sorry for the rant but i just really wish he went with Ilia the part of TP where he was hunting for Ilia is the most I've ever been compelled in a game.
It...sickens you to see people enjoy different types of games? You're an odd person...KhaoticOne said:
(Nice avatar, by the way. Frog is awesome)
I love the series, it and Pokemon (Which also doesn't change all to much) are the reasons I got into video games. I've beat them all except the Oracle games (Ages was the first one I bought, but it got stolen), A Link to the Past (Playing it now as part of my Zelda 25th playthrough), the first two (My NES cartridge lost all of its data on the first and the second never really engaged me), Majora's Mask (Got stuck in a dungeon like a noob, I love this one though so I'll finally finish it this year), and Spirit Tracks (I couldn't get into the last dungeon and the train part to get to it frustrated me into quitting).
The exploration, music, and simplicity of it all make each one a great game even the ones I don't care much for (Twilight Princess) are still engaging. Wind Waker is my personal favorite, the wide open ocean, the beautiful art style, and the wonderful celtic themed music all come together for one of favorite games of all time. Link's Awakening's my second, "It is the Wind Fish in name only for it is neither". Can't wait to download it when I get an eShop card for my 3DS.

The plan is almost always different its just that those steps and his end goal remain the same. Gannons goal never changes because he wants power enough to rule the world and what better way than than wishing it?
as for the monsters not eating each other, I dunno maybe they can survive solely off air maybe they cant eat each other due to certain monsters being possible poisonous food, I doubt they put too much thought into the biological needs of fantasy monsters in a fantasy videogame.
I've been fond of quite a few of them. Phourglass I got annoyed with, and Ages/Seasons were both tedious for me. The console ones I've been pretty fond of, though. The only one I've really not liked was the second one. TP, OoT, MM, WW, ALttP and the original all have a place in my heart, though.
Four swords was a fair waste of six hours, though. Not sure how a zelda game is that short and still considered part of the series.

My first introduction was Oot after i got an N64 and loved it also did Majora's Mask. Guess the most different version of them all.
Then came the Wind Waker, And Oot Master Quest and of Course Twilight Princess. These are the Zelda games i Like. Really not looking forward to the new Zelda seeing Game play wise it still will be the same as the previous installments.
To my regard isn't healthy for the franchise because and Wind Waker started to feel repetitive, Same goes for TP. Yes the new one will be with a WII controller but still game play will stay the same, and the subtle new touches they add will feel nothing more then gimmicky.
And still about unsure about it's future seeing they stick to the same formula on and on just to play it safe.

I FUCKING LOVE ZELDA.
I've beaten Ocarina of Time and Link to the Past about six hundred times each by now.
Majora's Mask is my absolute favorite of the series. Zelda 2 comes in close second.
Wind Waker is amazing. Link's Awakening is amazing. Twilight Princess is amazing. The original is amazing.
All the rest are pretty decent. Except the ones for the DS. And Mah Boi. Sorry I brought that up.

Hate it. The combat is bland and repetitive, the puzzles are stupid and arbitrary (kill the monsters in room X over and over until you happen to do it in the right order...), the characters are boring, the plot is so thin and generic that I found myself unable to remember it even while I was playing the game and the items you spend every game collecting are all so bleh. I have fond memories of a fully powered-up Samus speeding through every room in the game, obliterating enemies through walls and flying through lava. Fully powered Link is... a dude with a sword. And a stick that comes back when he throws it. I haven't played enough Zelda games to get irritated by the reptition, but if I was a fan I'd be rather pissed about being given the exact same game with the exact same combat and the exact same characters and the exact same plot and the exact same items every. freaking. game. The games are just so... uninspiring.

I do quite like zelda Favourite of the series is majora's mask, I don't know what it is about it, but every zelda game just keeps me interested, and I have fun playing it. It could be that I played it heaps as a child, probably is, but I just find it fun, and I always find myself coming back to it and always enjoying it.
