Maybe you've heard of them some.
Man did anyone see this trailer in theaters in 1998? Did I imagine that?

That was the first time I ever saw anything related to a Zelda game (my father had missed out on the NES games, somehow, and I was a Genesis kid, to my shame) and this trailer blew my mind.

They re-released that Ocarina of Time game on the 3DS. It's a pretty fun game. Good designs, good world, good characters, good bosses. A pretty fun game.

Skyward Sword was a pretty divisive game, as games in this series go, but for some people (like me) it's a contender for being the best one. Best dungeon design in the series, a handful of the best characters, and music? Buddy, this game knows from music.
But maybe you don't care for them 3D worlds and flying in the air and motion controls and all this ridiculous slower-paced bullshit with empty overworlds.

Maybe you like your shit old-school, like The Legend of Zelda. You want your overworld tough and your dungeons tougher, and you want a clear delineation between them. You want to have your sword in your hand right the Hell now, and you want monsters who will kill the shit out of you at the slightest provocation.
Well they made the perfect game for you.

Link Between Worlds is a sequel to Link to the Past, and a loving tribute to the SNES classic that mixes in enough new mechanics to change how you look at a similar world-map. The design of the game is very nuts-and-bolts, very careful, very elegant, and that combined with its old-school toughness and design sensibilities has made it probably the most universally loved game in the series among a certain crowd.
Then there's this thing:

Hyrule Warriors is definitely a Warriors/Musou game. It's the first Musou I've ever played so I'm not entirely sure what that means yet but it's big and has lots of modes and it's anime as Hell. It has a couch co-op mode for the main story once you get past the first mission, which is pretty cool!
Zelda games: they are pretty fun games. Let's talk about them.
