Is this the most underrated Zelda game? The music and aesthetic

same tier as Twilight Princess.
Very good games that keep getting shitted on by nostalgiafags who only like the gameboy/color & n64 games

Those ghosts in the royal valley did things to my dick

The game is so good you can't really throw shit at it without being a true contrarian.

There is nothing to discuss, the game is good.

I'd go for Skyward Sword. Haven't played the game in about 2 years but when I was playing I was having an amazing time

>Gameplay was fun (only time where I actually liked motion controls)
>Dungeons were really solid
>Story was good for a Zelda
>Music was amazing

I'm making my way through the series chronologically, so I've actually never played SS. I'm hoping it's not as terrible as people say, since I really like the art style, though I take every opinion that Zelda fans (in general) have with a pinch of salt now.

The oracle games peaked in gameboy color. It felt flushed out and better than awakening. More content, better story, setting, characters, dungeons. It's my favorite 2d game.
It has nothing to do with oot.

Every time i remember this game i remember the minish village song. Such a good OST

I was referring to the core time travel mechanic. When I played Ages, it felt like it was the same game I'd played twice before. LttP (albeit parallel dimension instead of time travel), Oot, and Ages all had the exact same gimmick, and Ages just felt stale. It didn't help that I had just played through LA and Seasons and had also started to get tired of the 2D Zelda formula.

I would say that Ages is better than Seasons, but the two are still my least favorite that I've played so far. At least Zelda II was unique.

It's brain-dead easy, and very short. Still a great game with plenty of polish. Rolling in 2D was really satisfying, and it had the best companion of any Zelda.

Minish Cap would be the best 2d Zelda if it didn't have fucking kinstones

Minish Cap is accurately rated as completely forgettable.

Needs obligatory giantess scene.

I love this game, but it's not flawless. For starters, it's too short.

>>375691446
I'll give you easy, but that's a common criticism of the whole series post SNES/GBC. I honestly think the length works to its advantage though, keeps it from overstaying its welcome.

>>375691449
Kinstones didn't bother me too much. What did you dislike about them? I found I'd gather them naturally as I progressed, and it incentivized speaking to NPCs.

>>375691764
it took away a lot of what should have been natural exploration and discovery by locking it behind a finicky and often randomized system. vines blocking an entrance should be burnable with the lantern, rather than be removed by finding the correct npc and then grinding to find the right kinstone to match

>>375689883
it's one of my favorites, but Kinstones sort of fuck the exploration

>>375691308
Yeah but in oot you don't use the time mechanic for most of the game like in ages.
I like ages better than seasons too, and I played both before awakening, maybe that's why I liked them more and why I felt awakening was like a bootleg of the oracles.

>>375691308
Oh but I get what you mean, both lttp and oracles share the same mechanic of traveling between 2 almost identical worlds. It does get a bit tiring.

oracles is a bootleg of LA, but it's not like LA isn't also a bootleg itself

>>375693609
Just because it uses the same engine doesn't make it a bootleg. LA plays almost nothing like FtFtBT.

I guess whichever of the three you play last ends up being your least favorite. Familiarity breeds contempt. I'll give the Oracle games another try in a few years, see how I like them then.

>>375689883
It is incredibly underrated. It isn't a perfect or landmark game or anything, but it has no right being as good as it is

It was my very first Zelda game, I have so fond memories of it. It got me through some traumatic situations

>>375691998
I think it was a really cool mechanic
You have to talk with people around you to find bonuses but it's an option

It's not. The game is bloated with a severe lack of explore levels locations, the kinstone system is godawful, and the mechanics and combat feel super janky. For Capcom doing such a great job with the oracles games, they sure differ this one. Regardless I'm sure it was someone's first and they'll defend It to the death.

>>375689883
I still love LttP more, but only because he's much more harder/long.
Minish cap mechanics where really cool and added some that aren't in LttP like jumping, sword technics, kinstones...
Excellent OST, excellent world design/graphics, the ending hyrule castle + 3 vaati froms where epic, a fucking must-have on GBA

And not only was it short, easy, and forced you to grind for fucking stones for exploration and then showed you EXACTLY where to go, it started the shitty "woooo evil hyrule castle" meme Nintendo hasn't been able to fucking shake, and also where the companion starts treating the player like a baby. Ezlo was only slightly better than Fi.
