What is your favourite LOZ game? My fave is twilight princess as it was the first zelda game I played. Being it on the Wii.

What about you?

Oof. Yeah, if you've only played Phantom "go back to the same temple for the tenth time" Hourglass and Breath Of The Wild with it's almost non-existent story, I can absolutely understand the disappointment.

Phantom Hourglass was pretty disliked even by fans at the time. The touchscreen control focus and the damn ocean temple re-runs were quite contreversial.

Breath of the Wild was the series's first attempt at open world, non-linear gameplay and is incredibly different from other games in the series. Very light on story and characters. Unfortunately they've confirmed open world is the planned standard going forward.

The real "core" 3D games are Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess. For 2D, A Link To The Past and Link's Awakening.

Twilight Princess is probably the most accessible for someone not super familiar with the franchise, and the least burdened by old school design decisions. It's what I would consider the pinnacle of classic 3D Zelda. Took all the good stuff from the two N64 games (what most people seem to think are the best) and polished the hell out of it.

Actually I did enjoy what little of Windwaker that I played. But I played it on an emulator and had to wipe the machine it was on so I never got past the beginning.
