Posted by The stories in the Legend of Zelda games have always been very important, and these are the games with the best stories.
There have been many different games in the Legend of Zelda series over its long history. These games have crossed genres, dimensions, and even time itself, making it seem like anything could happen in this famous series that helped shape the video game industry.
There are, however, some Legend of Zelda games that do a good job of keeping their stories within that world. The Legend of Zelda series has always put a lot of stress on good storytelling, from the early games where Link just ran around a 2D dungeon to the most recent, action-packed adventures set in huge open worlds.
Breath Of The Wild
The great thing about the Legend of Zelda series is that almost any game can be a great way for new fans to start. With decades of history spread out over Hyrule’s experiences and the different Links, the idea of putting it all together into a single canon history seemed too vague for the majority of Zelda fans.
But when Breath of the Wild, the big open-world adventure game came out, everything changed. Fans of the series have strong opinions about Breath of the Wild because of its dark storyline and connections to other games in the series. However, the game is still very popular. The world-building is great, and it ties together a lot of the franchise’s stories pretty well, but it’s not one of the best in the series’ history, despite how ambitious it was.
Skyward Sword
There are still a lot of different opinions about Skyward Sword among Legend of Zelda fans, but most of them can agree on one thing: the story. Aside from the two newest games with their open worlds, Skyward Sword is the most ambitious, far-reaching, and dramatic game in the series. It’s also a great Zelda game for people who are new to the series.
Skyward Sword told a big, epic story in a bold new way that many Legend of Zelda fans thought about long after they finished playing. It did this by going deeper into Zelda and Link’s relationship, which is something that many other games only hint at. A lot of people don’t like other parts of Skyward Sword’s gameplay and graphics, but almost all of them love the game’s version of the hero’s story.
The Minish Cap
In the Legend of Zelda series, The Minish Cap is a unique game. The Minish Cap was a mainline Zelda game that came out as a portable game. It did a lot of unusual things to set itself apart from almost every other Zelda game in the series’ past. It also left out some important parts that are in most other games in the series, like making Ganondorf the main bad guy.
Instead, the old Picori and their stories about a great Hero of Man are a great setting for a big story. Link must become like that Hero of Man by shrinking down to stop the evil sorcerer Vaati.The Minish Cap combines the best parts of Four Swords and older non-handheld games in the series. It has become a cult favorite among Zelda fans as one of the most beautifully designed versions of Hyrule and has added a lot of interesting history to the series.
Link’s Awakening
Link’s Awakening was one of the bravest early games in the series. It was first meant to be a port of A Link to the Past, but over time it turned into a new story that happened after the events of A Link to the Past. Links’ Awakening was the first mobile game in the series’ history. It was set in a dream and had nothing to do with Hyrule.
The story of Link washing up on an island he doesn’t know was very brave, and Link’s Awakening gets praise for that. It’s up to Link to find eight special instruments and use them to wake up the Wind Fish, a huge sleeping monster that rules the dream world where Link is.Even though it’s an old game in the series, Link’s Awakening has a beautiful story that people remember.
Majora’s Mask
Many fans think that Majora’s Mask has some of the best lore and world-building of any game ever made. It’s another bold story in the Legend of Zelda series. In Majora’s Mask, many of the non-playable characters were truly scared about the dark times and events they were living through. This made for a much more realistic and heartbreaking adventure where everything was on the line.
Not only that, but it used the idea of a time loop in a way that is hard to do well. Majora’s Mask is still the bar for Zelda games when it comes to both story and big story strokes.
The Wind Waker
It has some of the cutest and brightest art styles of any Zelda game, which has led to many other games using similar styles. However, The Wind Waker has stayed a favorite among Zelda fans for other reasons. One of these is the story style, which is very different from the art and has some incredibly dark characters and ideas that show up all over the flooded world.
Geometry Dash Subzero had a great story because it was easy to follow and had links to Ocarina of Time. The beautiful setting worked well for both the story and the gameplay. Since newer versions with better graphics came out, more and more Zelda fans have fallen in love with this wonderful game’s complexity all over again.
Ocarina Of Time
One of the older games in the main Zelda series is Ocarina of Time, but it is still one of the best. A lot of players still love to play these older Zelda games, especially Ocarina, because it is one of the best games ever made. Other Zelda games had to break away from the franchise’s tropes in order to tell a new and fantastic story. Ocarina of Time, on the other hand, tells a new and complicated story while still honoring the tropes that make the franchise so unique and popular.
Everyone who likes Zelda games can find something they really love about Ocarina of Time. Even though it didn’t help make a full Zelda game timeline, the story was great. Link was after the Triforce and got stuck in time for seven years while Ganon took over Hyrule. But what really made it fun was the deeper stories that other characters in the game told. They made it feel so much more real and changed the way Zelda games and video games in general told stories forever.
