I really like the Twilight Princess version of the temple of time.

Still Ocarina of Time for me. Even if it's the most basic one. The music, the atmosphere, everything made it feel like holy, sacred.

The Twilight Princess version

which version of the temple of time is your favorite? 🌙

i think aside from midna sweep i really like ravio, fi, and mipha ravio's purple bunny hood is just so delightful and my favorite botw/totk item fi is amazing i love her color palette and entire aesthetic and mipha is just so pretty and awesome

I love Hyrule Warriors Link design 😍 I'm so tempted to buy the game for his design alone, but then I shake myself out of it b/c I really dislike Musou gameplay 🙃

I’ve never played the Zelda games, but I’ve always found Twilight Princess’s Ganondorf to be a really striking design.

Fierce Deity Link HW:DE Impa HW:DE Ganondorf

Midna

TotK Rauru, Groose, Twili Midna, Wild/TotK Zelda for me

Vaati, Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf, Midna (true form), Volga, Mineru

Rauru (TOTK) Tingle Ghirahim

There are SO MANY character designs in the Zelda universe that are top tier, but here are 4 of them that first popped in my head 🥰

BotW Link Lana HW Zelda Minish Cap Vaati Probably more, but they're my top 4

which legend of zelda characters are the definition of peak character design? 🌙

i'm boring bc my first zelda game was ocarina of time and then my second was majora's mask > w < i got most of my games as hand-me-downs from my sisters and i got the n64 with a bunch of games, oot and mm being my favorite so i just played them over and over hehe

I think it was Link’s Awakening. I went to buy a GBC with Pokemon Red but the game wasn’t in stock so I saw LA and figured I liked OoT so should give it a try.

Minish Cap is the only one I like so Minish Cap lol

a link to the past!!! to me, it really embodies the feeling of 2d zelda best

Disregard all previous statements I made. Play Link to the Past.

Capcom cooked with 2D Zelda. Definitely would recommend the Oracle games. FSA is also underrated and deserves more love.

Majora's Mask. I loved roaming in Termina and Clock Town while listening to the music, since I was clueless about what to do first and played on files that had one or more temples cleared. I was a kid back then.

Either Minish Cap or A Link Between Worlds, because they are among the best 2D Zeldas.

Oracle of Seasons. If you can survive the occasional difficulty spikes, it's sheer perfection on a gameplay level.

which 2D legend of zelda game do you think everyone should play at least once? 🌙

I actually don't know! 🤔 I got Zelda (NES) when it came out in 1987. I got Link's Awakening (GB) in 1993. I have a used copy of Zelda II that I bought in the 90s, but I think it was later. Never had a SNES. So... I guess it's the incredible Game Boy game! 🥰🩶

I remember being about 5 years old and renting Zelda II because of how much I loved ALTTP. Somehow, I vaguely remember specifically getting to the room with the first key in Parapa Palace. Didn't play the game again until I was a teenager.

Majora’s Mask was my second and still my most beloved 💖

skyward sword... however i had the worst stick drift on my switch so i never finished it (and using a regular controller was even worse). maybe ill finish it someday

it was oot then wind waker

Skyward Sword was my second

It was Wind Waker! When the GameCube was in its prime, my mom got me a used copy when we went to a GameStop. Real glad it was my second cause it’s one of my favorite games ever 💙

I remember when Majoras Mask released my brother and I spent the whole day trying to find an expansion pak in town. OoT introduced me to Zelda but MM elevated my love and appreciation for the world building side of this universe to a different level. Life changing game.

My second was Ocarina of time on the n64!

Ocarina of Time on my Wii around 2009 or 10

it was twilight princess (wii version) & it's the game that completely rewired my brain chemistry. this was about 17 years ago now & I still consider zelda my fave series ever as a result

wind waker 💙 my first 3d zelda, and the first one i actually owned, but the second zelda game i ever played. i think going straight from alttp to ww really cemented that i was gonna love every zelda game ever lol

Twilight Princess! I played it because I wanted more hearts for Wolf Link in BotW But it quickly became one of my favorite games too

A Link to the Past for the GBA, courtesy of a buddy from elementary school. Whenever I got stuck, I would ask him the next day at school how to progress. I still remember I was stuck in the first room of the Eastern Temple... Because I forgot about lifting pots 😭

zeldasky, we always talk about our first legend of zelda game we’ve played, but what was your second zelda game? 🌙

Strangers. Link growing up with a connection to royalty makes the world feel smaller, and I love the thought of Zelda being all, "Sure, I guess this random country bumpkin is gonna save the world." I also don't ship them romantically, but I've never found any appeal in romantic ships in general.

I like strangers crossing paths and wish that trope was explored more in a modern game. Ties into me wanting a lone wandering hero again.

Childhood friends is great when you want them to already have a strong bond from start and perhaps move to implying a romance like Skyward Sword, but I like the destiny of two strangers that meet and during the adventure itself create that connection that brings them close.

Buddies

Childhood friends!! I like that they have a more personal connection!

my favourite relationship trope of Zelda and Link: childhood friends. I sometimes like it to see them in a romantic relationship, but childhood friends seems the most fitting trope for me.

what’s your favorite zelda and link relationship trope? childhood friends, strangers, etc? 🌙
