The Ultimate Zelda Ranking

1-17

Well, hopefully this will not lead to arguments!

Lisa Islinger
Gaming -
SI NDS The Legend Of Zelda Spirit Tracks image1600w

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (2009)

Link has had to do many things to save Zelda and the world. In this adventure for the Nintendo DS, he goes into the world of Hyrule as a train conductor. It's packed with very tedious side quests, all of which are required to complete the game. It's cool that you can team up with Zelda, but still, the title just isn't that impressive. | © Nintendo

Zelda triforce heros

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (2015)

Tri Force Heroes also came out for the DS. Too much multiplayer for me personally. Which is really nicely done, but otherwise the focus hasn't been expanded either. For single player, it's not quite as fun as together. Unfortunately, the game feels like a waste of time. | © Nintendo

Zelda 4 swords

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (2005)

The part is visually unique design and has its own charm. And now you have 4 Links under your control. Either alone or in multiplayer. Very big Plus: you could play together with GameCube and Game Boy Advanced! | © Nintendo

Zelda 2

Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link (1988)

Adventure of Link is generally not a bad game. But the random enemy encounters are very irritating and without a game guide it is incredibly difficult to progress. Zelda 2 is still one of the hardest games in the series. Even if the old pixels awaken nostalgia. | © Nintendo

Phantom hourgrlass

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (2007)

A game that you only control with the DS touchpad can't really be good. But the story of Link fighting for the time in a parallel world had potential. It definitely doesn't measure up to other Zelda titles. | © Nintendo

Zelda 1986

The Legend of Zelda (1986)

The foundation of an entire empire. Zelda now has a fanbase all over the world. Nevertheless, it unfortunately seems rather clunky and dull today. Even gamers who played and loved it back in the days are often disappointed today. Times and especially gaming habits have simply changed. Nevertheless, it will always remain a masterpiece! | © Nintendo

Minish cap zelda

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (2004)

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap was the exclusive Zelda for the Game Boy Advance and continued the trend of giving Link a talking piece of equipment. The hat shrunk him down to ant size, which was cool for dungeons. It's a cute and unique idea that definitely deserves its place in the series, but it is also often forgotten. | © Nintendo

Example Template Title3

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages / Oracle of Seasons (2001)

In 2001, Pokémon Feeling entered the Zelda franchise. The editions could be played independently of each other. In the Oracle games, you can change the seasons, ride a kangaroo, and use magnetic gloves to overcome obstacles. Incredible! | © Nintendo

Link between worlds

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (2013)

The sequel to Link to the Past was an absolute surprise hit. It came with a completely new item system. Unfortunately, this game structure makes the puzzles quite easy to solve. But still, Link Between Worlds is a very clever and entertaining Zelda. | © Nintendo

SI Wii The Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword image1600w

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (2011/ Remake 2021)

The Skyloft setting was a new location, allowing Link to take to the skies with a red bird, and the story serves as a prequel to Ocarina of Time for the entire series. The best Zelda games didn't lay a new foundation, but continued their predecessors' legacy in a worthy manner. | © Nintendo

Links awakening

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (1993, 2019)

In Link's Awakening, we can freely equip our items and trade items with the NPCs for the first time. In 2019, the classic game was re-released in an incredibly cute version. A great opportunity to catch up on the really very good Zelda, if you haven't played it, yet! | © Nintendo

H2x1 SNES The Legend Of Zelda A Link To The Past image1600w

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (1991/2003)

The best classic Zelda. It has set new standards: New RPG elements, gradually unlockable areas, and fascinating boss enemies. Great! | © Nintendo

SI 3 DS The Legend Of Zelda Majoras Mask3 D image1600w

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (2000)

It's crazy, it's gritty, and it leaves an impression forever. The timer adds a completely new dimension to the gameplay. Even with a few years' distance, you can say that Majora's Mask is a very good game. | © Nintendo

SI Wii U The Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess HD image1600w

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (2006)

The game moves away from the fairy tale and faces Link with a much bigger and dangerous challenge. Transformed into a wolf, Link must survive the Shadow Realm in Twilight Princess. A very dark adventure! | © Nintendo

SI GCN The Legend Of Zelda The Wind Waker image1600w

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (2003)

The design, the music, the story - together, this certainly makes Wind Waker one of the best games even beyond the genre. Granted, sometimes the gameplay is a bit stretched and some of the dungeons somehow seem unfinished. Still, it's simply impossible not to fall in love with this Zelda. | © Nintendo

Ocarinaoftime screenart

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)

From here on, we are in the realm of the crème del a crème of Zelda games. Ocarina of Time, like the last entries in the ranking, is an excellent game. It set new standards and revolutionized the concept of "open world". Even though this Zelda is now as impressive as it was in 1998, it still offers a lot of fun and nostalgia factor. | © Nintendo

Botw share icon

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017)

It is the first Zelda with voice-overs and also with a technical finesse, Breath of the Wild knows how to convince especially with the scope of the game world. There are countless secrets to discover. BOTW triggers an incredible urge to explore and a feeling of freedom in you that rarely a game manages. This deserves first place!| © Nintendo
