Rolling Stone has taken it upon themselves to do the near impossible and decide on their all time favourite The Legend of Zelda games and then specifically rank them from best to worst. Those Ocarina of Time fans among you might want to look away now as the acclaimed game is positioned at No.5 on Rolling Stone’s site with the majestic The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom taking the top spot.
- Tears of the Kingdom
- Breath of the Wild
- The Wind Waker
- A Link to the Past
- Ocarina of Time
- Link’s Awakening
- Majora’s Mask
- The Legend of Zelda
- Echoes of Wisdom
- Twilight Princess
- Oracle of Ages / Oracle of Seasons
- A Link Between Worlds
- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
- The Minish Cap
- Skyward Sword
- Phantom Hourglass
- Spirit Tracks
- Four Swords Adventures
- Tri Force Heroes
Again, Echoes of Wisdom = Game of the Year !
8: the legend of Zelda
12: A link Between worlds
1: Tears of the kingdom
What kind of redditfuckery is this list bro
8 is a good placement for LoZ as it still holds up in most aspects of the game.
ALBW at 12 is criminal.
Tears at number 1 is just funny.
Come on Twilight Princess was definitely better than Echos of Wisdom, I enjoyed even TMC more lol… well I guess I have no other choice then to make a multi million media company and do justice to the order of the list lol
This is by far one of the worst rankings of all time.
This has to be made by someone who never played Zelda, I REFUSE to believe someone would prefer the first Zelda over twilight princess
This is the worst ranking I’ve seen yet. Twilight number 10? Tears and botw top 2? Wtf!@ this list is not a true zelda list.. it’s a big open world person who ranked this not a legit zelds fan
Great list! ToTK should be Number 1 ! As BOTW number 2!
I would definitively ranked them the same from 1 to 3. Ocarina would be 4. Glad that TOTK is 1. That’s my favorite Zelda game. Glad to see that wind walker gets recognition after all these years. The Franchise would have taken an other trajectory if wind walker wasn’t rejected at that time.
Minish Cap at 14? Below Zelda II? What kind of 🤬 is this?
Yeah, any list that has Zelda I not within 3 of the bottom is not worth reading. How anybody could ever feel that way aside from growing up with the game is beyond me.
this is the worst i have seen. Ocarina is #1 and A Link to the past #2. How is TP So low? It easily is top 5 as well.
I would put botw in the top spot, totk is the same and more I know, but botw had so much awe when I first played it and totk is more of the same so the initial impact of totk wasn’t so amazing if you know what I mean.
Then I’d go 2 and 3 would be link between worlds and then ocarina, but ultimately I love them all.
I just hope Nintendo bring us a big open world Zelda again with DUNGEONS, you know the ones that Zelda is famous for. Come on Nintendo for crying out loud
Honestly that’s a pretty good attempt. I could bicker over this title or that title for the sake of 1 or 2 positions but overall I’m down. The only one I think it’s notably underrated there is A Link Between Worlds. I 100%’d that hot shit. I’m not that guy.
I sense recency bias.
This list is flawed… It’s time I make a TRUE ranking list. Not clouded by popularity but with meaning and impact the Zelda games brought. Stay tuned to my YouTube channel. Enough is enough!
Skyward Sword is a better game than Twilight Princess. You wanna fight about it?
Oh hell no.
Do people care what Rolling Stone thinks about games?
I was gonna be annoyed but WW at #3 saved it from my ire. I personally would have it at #1 but whatevs. Ocarina & Skyward are #2 & #3 respectively.
