\"\"<\/a>Despite the entire world thinking Zelda is the best thing ever, I only ranked it #7 of the best gaming series ever<\/a>. That’s still impressive, no doubt, but that leaves a lot of room to grow. And the reasoning behind it being so low on the list? Let’s look at the history, shall we? Moving backwards, the main entries:<\/p>\n

2013: A Link Between Worlds<\/b>: Brilliant and wonderful
\n2011: Skyward Sword<\/b>: OK – Never beat it.
\n2009: Spirit Tracks<\/b>: Trains?
\n2007: Phantom Hourglass<\/b>: Never touched it
\n2006: Twilight Princess<\/b>: Got stuck in the middle. Lost interest.
\n2004: The Minish Cap<\/b>: Spectacularrrrrr
\n2002: The Wind Waker<\/b>: Got to the end, didn’t love it.
\n2001: Oracles Games<\/b>: Always wanted to play
\n2000: Majora’s Mask<\/b>: Never had interest, I know, I’m missing out.
\n1998: Ocarina Of Time<\/b>: Remember the day I got that game. Classic.
\n1991: A Link To The Past<\/b>: Legen…dary.
\n1987: The Adventure Of Link<\/b>: It was bad then, it’s worse now.
\n1985: The Legend Of Zelda<\/b>: My favorite back then. I knew it all.<\/p>\n

That’s an awful lot of games and an awful lot of…”so-so”. I don’t care if it’s blasphemy to say so, but I only truly loved<\/b> a handful of Zelda games. But the good were outrageously good. And that’s why I’m giving Breath Of The Wild<\/b> a chance. It looks enormous, but nowadays, that’s not always a great thing. I’m just hoping that’s a perk and not a detriment. <\/p>\n

So, wish me luck as I embark upon yet another Hyrule adventure. I can only hope it’s one I complete and maybe moves Zelda up on the list. That’s a tough one though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
