Thanks For all the replies!
Even though it got some hate I think i'll stick with TP, I'll try the wii version since the HD port seems to just have some kind of grey filter slapped on (Or is it just me?). I think I'll try OoT and MM for the 3DS after that.
I was expecting a lot more love for Wind Waker, that always seems to be the most popular of the lot on the internet.
mqstout: WiiU (including VC games):
Link To The Past > Minish Cap > Windwaker [HD remake] > Ocarina of Time > Twilight Princess [HD remake] > The Legend of Zelda > Zelda 2 The Adventure of Link
Thanks for the list, any reason you chose the VC version over the 3ds one? the 3ds one seems to have some more content and you also went with the HD versions otherwise.
Elmofongo: Question do you have the NEW 3DS XL?
I've got a 3DS XL, is there a NEW new one or did you mean just the new one?
Tallima: What I would do, if I have access to everything, is to play all of the games in order of their creation. Don't play them in "chronological" order (the most accepted chronology has some breaks in the tree and the chronology is actually better to learn after you play the games than before, IMHO).
I'm usually really picky about playing games in order, but with massive franchises that have been around for decades I make exceptions. I want to first try some of the new-ish titles and then see how it goes from there. Plus the entire different timelines thing also makes me feel less guilty about dropping my standards.
I'm also not really a fan of watching playthroughs of games I haven't played myself: I'd hate to spoil something and get the feeling I should've played it instead.
Yeah I heard Skyward Sword is pretty divise, I'll keep an eye on it but I'd rather start with something safer (Or maybe not since TP has its share of not fans too)
Pidgeot: * Play Ocarina of Time before Majora's Mask. MM is a direct sequel to OoT; and although there aren't a ton of tie-ins story-wise, it will be helpful to have learned the general mechanics in OoT first.
* A Link Between Worlds is technically a sequel to A Link to the Past, as they're set in the same overworld (though quite far apart in terms of time), so you might want to play LttP first.
* If you're going to play the spin-off Hyrule Warriors, you might appreciate it more if you've at least played OoT, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword (since you'll know who people are). There are plenty of callbacks to other games too, though, so if you can do more before playing this, that might be a good idea.
Thanks! That's exactly the kind of thing I wanted to avoid, I'd hate to be playing a direct sequel or at least a game with a lot of callback/references to another one.
tinyE: I SWEAR this is not a troll post, but am I the only one who missed the boat on this series?
Don't worry it's just a sign you always were and always will be a part of the PC Master Race and don't partake in console peasant's fables.
