Oooh, that sounds fun.

Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask and Link's Awakening are no real Zelda games because we are not trying to save princess Zelda and she doesn't make an appearance, nor do we face Ganon/Ganondorf in those games.

I'm already seeing some people suggest that EoW is not a "real" Zelda game due to the new mechanics and lessened focus on combat. And like it's actually crazy to me how people call themselves Zelda fans but baulk every time the series gets a shake up (as if the devs haven't been trying to shake up the formula since Zelda Fucking Two.)

Anyway, with this I would like to start a thread called "Why Your Favourite Zelda Games Aren't Actually Zelda Games." I'll start:

Ocarina Of Time isn't a true Zelda game because Zelda shouldn't be 3D. The games began as 2D, and to change mediums is betraying the series roots and core gameplay.

Now, continue:

#the legend of zelda #loz #i could also say that winwaker and phantom hourglass are noreal zelda because there is virtually no hyrule anymore #or that there is no princess zelda in windwaker: we have our amazing tetra #someone said #The Legend of Zelda (1986) is Not a real Zelda game because it features an open world #and doesn‘t feature a linear story #but love the argument #oracle of seasons #oracle of ages #majoras mask #ocarina of time #zelda ii #phantom hourglass #we don't face Ganon in all the zelda games previous to Oot as well so #four swords #but also skyward sword #and I'm sure I'm forgetting some
