They don't call them Zelda Boxes for nothing. I'll admit I'm biased, but I see nearly every Zelda game as easily in the top 3, if not the killer app of each Nintendo system.
Legend of Zelda - NES
Link to the Past - SNES
Links Awakening - Gameboy
Ocarina of Time - N64
Wind Waker - Gamecube
Twilight Princess - Wii
Skyward Sword - Wii
Heck, even the promise of how perfectly the WiiU's controller could have been for a Zelda game, was enough for me to buy the system.
I guess that makes me a fanboy. As long as Nintendo keeps making Zelda games, I'll keep buying the necessary hardware.
- kriro 10y agoI also own a CDI for those horrible jump and run Zelda games...yeah, yeah I know :D
- nicky0 10y agoYou forgot the best Zelda game of all - Majora's Mask - N64.
- op00to 10y agoThat game made me want to pull my hair out - the time limitations made it stressful, and I eventually just gave up.
- jamesgeck0 10y agoWhile stressful, the time limitation wasn't exactly demanding. The song of half-time was available fairly early on. Two hours was plenty of time to do just about anything in the game.
- tmuir 10y agoYou misspelled Ocarina of Time ;) It's on my list.

Maybe so, but there's no way[1] I would by a console just because I want to play a single game. It takes at least half a dozen exclusives that interest me (announced, they don't all have to be released yet) for me to consider buying another console. [1] Not actually true: I'm considering buying a PS3 so that I can play Demon Souls. But a second hand PS3 is very cheap, so its not really the same thing IMHO.
- insin 10y agoMonster Hunter has become a console seller for me after playing it for the first time on the Wii, so it looks like I'll be getting a Switch too. (Cost of the console / number of hours played on Monster Hunter alone) always justifies it.
- tmuir 10y agoI guess I look at it differently: Zelda games are so intriguing and enveloping for me, particularly the puzzle solving and tool usage, that the franchise stands alone, above any other, full stop. Outside of Zelda, I'm not a very big gamer, and the games I do play are ones that appear to have Zelda-like qualities.
