Worst Zelda Game?

Which Zelda game did you hate the most? Not which was the hardest, but which was the least fun to play.

For me it was Oracles. I hated the seed system, the password system, and to a degree the graphics.

Yeah, they just didn't flow at all, didn't seem to have a purpose for the series, and took place in completely new locales. While definately not horrid, Capcom could have easily done better.

At least Capcom did a great job on Minish Cap...

Other than that, I would have to say while I liked it, Link's Awakening was kinda like that too. I guess it didn't help they had the same graphics(DX), I'm not a fan of the the two item system, but oh well, it had Chomp-Chomp...

OOT, hands down.  Ha ha, just kidding.

I gotta say Seasons too, although I haven't played Ages.  The story isn't that exiting.

It would easily be Ages and Seasons. They were okay to an extent, but whoever the genius is that decided to do the seeds and the passwords ought to be shot. More than once. Then poked with a stick.

Not to mention that the Ganon battle was fairly disappointing. Have all that work, for just a short battle with Ganon...

LOL!

And agreed, the ultimate boss of the two games was much too short. Seems to me that Capcom was more interesting in making an innovative Zelda game than a fun one.

But, due to Minish Cap, all is forgiven.

That was great Aeliran.  I was in a daze up until you said they should be poked with a stick, then I busted out laughing.  

I haven't gotten halfway through Seasons :-[  I guess it's good that I didn't work to hard to get to a crappy ending.

I enjoyed LA, OoS, and OoA (have beat them all) but the worst game, in my opinion, is the second NES Zelda, Adventures of Link.  I have NOT beat that one, I've actually only managed to get through the first dungeon.  It's so HARD, I don't know why I can't do it.Definitely, the worst Zelda game EVER.

The dreaded Cd-i games...

*shudder*

Darth Wyndisis

Oh those... I bet they are crappy.  Isn't Zelda played by a real person in one of them?

I would have to say Adventure of Link, I just can't understand the system.

As for the Cd-i games I think most people like to think of them as not as true Zelda games because, if I'm right, they weren't made by Nintendo; but,  they were c**p.

They need to have the stick shoved up where the sun ain't shinning. Passwords are evil and I hate how you are saving goddesses... they should save themselves...or oracles...whatever...

Evilslayer

That battle wasn't short.

Miyamoto has stated, himself, that they aren't a part of the series. And he's NOT happy about them. Besides, they are based on the cartoons, and they aren't official. The cartoons supposedly takes place after AoL, but there's only one Zelda. :P

I would say FS and the two first CD-i games. I'm not so sure about ZA, as I've heard it's better than the two others. It might even be worthy to be called a Zelda game if it hadn't been for the HORRIBLE loading time.

Cyclos

Hmmm.....I only like Seasons.  Ages sucked, it was hard, but I do agree that the passwords and seeds sucked.

Here are some movies from the CD-i games. Just so you can see how bad they are. Warning may cause severe tramua to eyes and ears!
