Probably A Link to the Past, the oracle games, Link's Awakening and the NES games. I cannot stand Skyward Sword, so play that one if you want, I'm not your boss. The problem is you're already through most of the 3D games and if you want to continue with that, you might want to consider some romhacks or item randomization, I don't really remember which ones are any good or if they really even exist.

>>16312440

I've heard a lot of negative things about that game but what really is wrong with it? Is it the motion controls? Because i tried playing Twilight princess on the wii but the motion controls annoyed me so i picked up the wii u version

Zelda 2.

>>16312415

Fuck forgot to mention that I also played breath of the wild. Kind of forget about that one a lot when talking about Zelda games for some reason even though i enjoyed it just fine. Maybe because it doesn't feel a lot like the other ones, barely any dungeons, and almost no iconic music.

Play A Link To the Past then BOTW.

Avoid Skyward Sword because it is a steaming, stinking pile of nigger shit like Wind Waker and Majora's Mask since these are all Aonuma turds.

Plus Skyward Sword has terrible innaccurate motion controls.

>>16312415

Zelda II faggot

>>16312452

I fucking hate wiggling my arms around while I play a game, and Skyward Sword absolutely requires that you do that. The way you swing in the game corresponds to how you swing your arm in real life to more or less wanted accuracy. The combat becomes incredibly slow and tedious when the old games were simple with relatively snappy fighting. It doesn't use the IR of the Wii like other games, it uses the "Wii MotionPlus" gimmick to make simple things tedious.The Wii version of Twilight Princess just made it to where you had to point and click (IR), or use the control stick for menus, Skyward Sword requires exaggerated motion control for simple yes/no questions.

Then there is the thing I detest the most about the game, the railroading/hand-holding. Zelda games have never been challenging, but this game assumes you have never touched a controller in your life, and so the game feels it needs to teach you everything about what a video game is. If I recall, the tutorial is around a solid two hours long of bullshit dialogue, forgettable gay characters, and Groose. Then there is Fi. If you've never played Skyward Sword and hated how much of a nag Navi/Tatl/Midna was, Fi trumps all of them in the worst ways. She will tell you the obvious, coddle your every movement, force you into bullshit dowsing missions and just make the game an absolute chore to play. Everything she says has an arbitrary ~80-90% accuracy just so she can force more dialogue onto you. At least Midna towards the end of the game remained relatively quiet, only told you were to go when you got stuck, and allowed you to warp from place to place, Fi is your sword that won't shut the fuck up.

>>16312496

That's my chief complaint with BOTW, the music is relatively sparse and lackluster in my opinion, and the dungeons weren't special in any way.

Why would Malon be using a hammer? Just give her a pitchfork instead.

>>16312415

Play Oracle of Ages/Seasons. Start with one, then play the other. They're the best Zelda games in my opinion.

>>16312539

honestly that bitch needs to get back to the barn and milk those cows

>>16312555

While i haven't played skyward sword, WindWaker, while not bad, suffers from way too much water, a slow ship until you get the fast sail and not a whole lot to explore. It becomes boring really quickly, i ended up not doing a lot of the side quests because i just didn't want to sail around everywhere. The girls are pretty cute in it however, the end boss and story are also pretty great.

>>16312555

Skyward Sword sucked. It was like Breath of the Wild if it was linear trash with even less to do and a shittier story somehow. Windwaker was good though. Except for the Triforce hunt. That was bullshit.

>>16312545

more like milk my dick.

Link's Awakening, one or both of the Oracle games, and Link Between Worlds and/or Link's Awakening.

LBW is basically a functional remake of LA; dungeons aren't 100% identical but you still have the same set of dungeons in the same areas, mostly the same tools and premise, etc. Still it's a pretty fun game.

>>16312555

Wind Waker started well but fell flat on its face after the first three dungeons due to being rushed out of the workshop.

Skyward sword is for toddlers considering how it treats its players and I didn't get passed the first part of it due to not only attempting to hold my hand, it just wouldn't leave me alone to my own devices/shut the fuck up. The sword gameplay seemed to work pretty well and the little I did play of it I enjoyed.

Zelda II

Remember to save.

>>16312415

A Link to the Past then Link's Awakening.

>>16312535

Skyward Sword, really, just took the issues of all the 3D games and exacerbated them, and added some waggle. It was marginally worse in all ways than something like Twilight Princess, but that's about it.

>>16312707

Minish cap, almost completely forgot about that one. When i was a kid i really wanted to play it, i had the official website Favorited and i would constantly go to it and just read through all the info and look at the pics, over and over again. However i didn't have a ds at the time and my family couldn't really afford one so i had to just keep going back to the website and looking over it wishing i could play it. I got a DS way later but couldn't find the game and then kind of forgot about it. I'll try looking for it next time i go game hunting

>>16312516

>Avoid Skyward Sword because it is a steaming, stinking pile of nigger shit like Wind Waker and Majora's Mask since these are all Aonuma turds.

Do you even know what Aounuma did on any of those games? He was director for OoT, MM (Koizumi might deserve more credit for how it turned out in the end though), WW, and TP. On the other hand, you have Hidemaro Fujibayashi, who directed the Capcom Zelda titles (which are the best ones, fight me) while he was working at Capcom, Skyward Sword, and Breath of the Wild. So basically you're saying Aounuma is shit because he directed most of the 3D Zelda games (a fair point but I personally blame Link to the Past for everything wrong with the 3D Zeldas), then go on to suggest BotW, which was directed by the same guy who directed a game you consider total shit.

FoE/WoG

>>16312415

i thought malon was holding a sub machine gun

>>16312555

Skyward Sword is trash and so are you.

Windwaker was okay.

>>16313030

What the hell is up with link's face in that third picture?

>>16312555

i liked the dungeons in skyward sword anyways

>>16312440

A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening and the Oracle games are the best in the series. The only ones that are essential.

>>16312445

HYDLIDE? Ugh, just saying the name is foul.

Zelda 2. It is the only one that requires skill.

>>16314311

Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.

>>16313030

Hyrule Warriors Legends on 3DS has my fairy. Switch version too.

>>16312415

Play Link's Awakening and the Oracle games.

>>16312496

This song was bretty good.

Spirit Tracks

>Criminally overlooked, mostly because of how shit Phantom Hourglass was

Minish Cap

>Also criminally underrated, mostly due to compressed audio or the Kinstone side-quests

Four Swords

>Specifically the standalone remake for DSiWare / 3DS eShop that has Single-Player

Oracle of Ages / Seasons

>Use http://archive.is/SvVWO for extra fun

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition

>More of a 'Warriors' than a 'Zelda', but still really fuckin' good

>>16312415

Play the 2 best ones - Link to the past followed by Link's Awakening.

>>16312707

>Link to the past is basically just 2d ocarina of time. You can play it but you're enjoyment will be warped.

Fucking implying.

LTTP is at least just as good as OOT if not better.

>>16317720

It's so easy to emulate now that the answer is yes

>>16312622

You just have a short attention span you autist.

>>16312555

Skyward Sword has great dungeons and it's the only 3D Zelda with challenging combat thanks to the waggle bullshit. I actually struggled to defeat demise and that gay homo man.

>>16312415

Don't play Twilight Princess it's the most blandest shit I've ever played. It makes me want to tear my eyes out, but there is one good dungeon in it.

>>16316999

Spirit Tracks is worse than Phantom Hourglass. It's the one Zelda game I never finished. The train bullshit is gay as fuck. It's just LoZ:Faggot Edition

Minish Cap is forgettable trash. The Oracle games are infinitely more memorable.

>>16317720

BOTW is a TES game with Zelda skins, not a Zelda game, so it really has as much to do with the series as Link's Crossbow Training or the Musou spin off, or the upcoming Crypt of the Negrodancer Reskin.

>>16312415

A Link Between Worlds is just A Link to the Past 2. I'd highly recommend playing ALttP if you liked ALBW.

Once you finish ALttP, Link's Awakening and Oracle of Ages/Seasons are highly recommended. They're all available on 3DS if buyfag and are great fun. If you do end up playing Oracle of Ages/Seasons, be sure to play one right after the other and link the games to get the true ending. Ages/Seasons also has a comfy factor, though that may be nostalgia.

Minish Cap is a great, short romp. Worth a playthrough. Another subjectively comfy game.

Skyward Sword is a one and done kind of game tbh. No replay value. Some of the dungeons like the Lanayru Mining Facility are fun and interesting but it's from that era of Nintendo where they wanted every malformed flipper child to be able to get through their games, so they drown you in unskappable tutorials for most of the game. Get a copy for cheap if you really want to play it.

Breath of the Wild is a generally fun game that emphasises exploration read: it's not the destination that matters but the friends we journey you made along the way. Like what some other anons said, it's more TES than LoZ. Worth a playthrough but not worth collecting every Korok seed.

If you want a sidescrolling challenge, go for Zelda 2.

>>16327089

Most of the games aren't connected, so don't worry about that.

>>16313030

Assuming this isn't a shop, explain yourself.

>>16327089

There isn't much difference between N64 and 3ds ocarina content-wise, however i would recommend playing the 3ds. Better graphics and the aiming is so much better on the 3ds than N64. Also the 3ds has the iron boots be an item that you can switch on and off with ease making it so much better than having to constantly go into your equipment screen to equip them, this makes the water temple not be so frustrating

>>16327089

>Link to the Past -> Ocarina of Time -> Twilight Princess

If you want the same main plot three times in a row with different graphics, then go right ahead.

>I hear Majora's Mask is different from the others

It's only "different" in its emphasis on sidequests, a morbid story tone, and the time-loop gimmick; it's otherwise a direct sequel to OoT, and plays as such. Avoid the 3DS version.

>I also hear Wind Waker is absolute trash

You have been lied to; apart from being (relatively) easy, and some blatant padding near the end, it's one of the series' best.

>Should I play [LttP on Wii VC] or emulate the gba version of Link to the Past+Four Swords?

Unless you have a link cable and multiple copies of the game, just stick to the SNES original; the port's only major gimmick is cross-save item sharing with Four Swords, which requires two or more players to access.

>I've never heard anything about Four Swords

As mentioned >>16316999 here, look for the single-player remake, which Nintendo released for free on the series' 25th anniversary.

>[OoT - N64, Wii VC, or 3DS?]

As >>16329610 says, the 3DS version is the best option; you wouldn't believe how much better the Water Temple is when you don't have to pause and unpause every 30 seconds.

3DS OoT is also one of the only versions to include Master Quest, a kind of 'official ROMhack' that remixes all the items and enemies in the dungeons.

>I just couldn't play an n64 game with a controller with two analog sticks when I'm not even using the second.

The right analog stick is mapped to the four C-Button directions, you nonce.

>>16329712

>you nonce

Ok, this post was extremely helpful right up until you posted this. Frick off jerk.
