A New Hero Awakens

This Epic Zelda Quest became bogged down with the weight of life over the past five years.  Now, with the 35th Anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, I've decided to pick up the master sword and continue the quest.

I'm now determined to include ALL the games.  I'll only rank each game once (so not 3 different ports of Ocarina of Time) and play whatever I deem to be the best version of the game.  

First, let's catch up on the past few years.  Like the rest of the world, I played and enjoyed Breath of the Wild.  I'll save my verdict on it for later in the quest.  

 

Link's Awakening continues to get better with age

I also played through the Switch version of Link's Awakening.  It reminded me of just how great the original game is, enough that I bumped it up ahead of the NES version of Legend of Zelda.  That means as we resume the quest, my current ranking stands as:


1. The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
2. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
3. The Legend of Zelda
4. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
5. BS Legend of Zelda
