Twilight Princess. 10 best Legend of Zelda games

Twilight Princess can sometimes feel like an overcorrection because it was released in the wake of outcry over recent games (like Wind Waker) cartoonish graphics.

The game was very realistic and dealt with a darker world and subject matter. As proof of this, it’s one of the only games in the series to be rated “T for Teen.” The dark tone coupled with a 3D world makes it feel like a successor to the N64 titles like Majora’s Mask and Ocarina of Time. 

Though it doesn’t quite innovate as much as those games did, the engaging story, interesting temple designs, and overall atmosphere make it a solid contribution to the franchise. Plus, let’s be real, no other versions of Link can transform into a wolf, and that counts for something.

Oracle of Ages / Seasons

Releasing two games side by side is not unusual for Nintendo, the developers of the Pokemon games, but it is quite unique among the Zelda series. Also, comparing these two games to the superficial differences in side-by-side Pokemon titles would not be doing either of them justice.

The games share a connection in that you can transfer progress from one to the other, and only completing both games gives the “true ending.” But thankfully, both games easily stand on their own.

Oracle of Ages features more puzzles alongside a more heartfelt story, while Oracle of Seasons is more action-packed and reminiscent of older Zelda titles. So while it’s certainly a great idea to try both, there’s the chance that one of them will be more up your alley than the other.
