The Legend of Zelda turns 25!

By Jason Leavey by Feb 21st, '11 at 7:57am CST

Just like his older, rounder, mustached plumber brother did last year, Link today turns 25 with the anniversary of The Legend of Zelda on Nintendo’s Famicom System. While retaining his green tunic, pointy hat, and signature sword, we’ve seen Link evolve from boy to warrior. He’s endured countless battles, saved Princess Zelda from peril endless times, and defeated Ganon — in all of his forms — more times than you can shake a Deku stick at.

We’ve seen Link journey from sidescrolling adventures in Zelda 2: The Adventures of Link, to portable adventures like Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, to 3D adventures with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. So the question stands to be answered, what is your favorite Zelda title? You have plenty to choose from, so think carefully and let us know!

    I’ll start it off….

    The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess is the best game. Inclusion of the dark world, Wolf-Link and Midna? Can’t get better than that!

    Hands down, Ocarina of Time is the best. While the first Zelda game on the NES was groundbreaking in its own time, Ocarina had a comparable impact during the N64 era. Everything from the characters, story, environments, and music has an unmatched nostalgia for me. That being said, I am looking forward to replaying the title with updated graphics this summer on the 3DS. OoT 3DS is my most anticipated title right now, despite the fact that the original was released over a decade ago.

    I’ve only played the original The Legend of Zelda and Ocarina of Time, so I can’t say very much. I guess I’ll go with Ocarina of Time as my favorite, for now!

    Without a doubt, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. I’ve played almost every one..and nothing shaped the Zelda series more than OoT.
