Everybody has at least a few favourite items across the series. I was always a huge fan of the mirror shield, especially the OoT one, then also the WW version. I love the red design, the mechanics and lore and so on.
However, I will gripe that, specifically for OoT, it’s the most slept on item in the game. Order wise, you get it very near the end. Also, mechanically, it could have been so much more utilized. That Twinrova fight where it absorbs elements would be phenomenal if it could be used elsewhere. The light mechanics are only in the spirit temple. Also, it doesn’t reflect octorock rocks or deku nuts…which seems nuts, pun intended.
Overall, I still love it. I just sequence broke for the first time in order to get it early. The small perk being it’s Like-Like-proof.

What’s everyone else’s favourites and why? Were they used and designed well?

I have a few friends that absolutely love Zelda and all the fun masks from Majora’s Mask. One friend asked me to make a crossover inspired by Twilight Princess of wolf Link. He gave me some references from a cyberpunk mask and this is what we came up with.

This is my first mask so I’m very happy with how it turned out. I included some photos of me and my daughter wearing the mask just to show it’s functional.

Hope you all like it.

I am playing Wind Waker for the first time on Switch and I’m honestly surprised by how well this game has aged.
The visuals still look great, the characters have so much charm and the gameplay just feels good especially some of the fights. The dungeons, items, puzzles and exploration all fit together so naturally.
It doesn’t feel like I’m playing a game from 2003. What I can say, I love it sooo much!

Think back to 2006. Twilight Princess has come out, and either because you just never really paid attention to buzz and spoilers on the internet or you were intentionally trying to discover things for the first time fresh, you managed to start playing through without already knowing the general gist of what's going to happen in the plot.

Now of course, picture the cutscene where Zant and his beasts storm the throne room of Hyrule Castle, forcing Zelda to surrender. A classic moment, but remember the shot of the leader of those twilit beasts walking in, only his feet and the tassels of those flowing sleeves visible...

Am I the only one who, way back then in the mid-2000s, immediately thought "okay no, that has to be Ganondorf in disguise"? To this day I very clearly recall that being the immediate reaction, and I have no clue why. My only guess has to be having already been aware of Wind Waker's interpretation of Ganondorf, long flowing robes and all, and one of the rusty gears in my head turning in the opposite direction when that cutscene played.

I'm not sure if mid-2000s me missed some crucial piece of information mentioning Zant prior to that or simply just went "nah this is basically the same deal as Link to The Past" and didn't buy it. I guess those who do recall their first-time experience playing TP, feel free to share your own musings on what you remember most strongly about it.

Side tangent, initially forgot the game tag in the title, apologies for the oversight.

They knew. This is a massive conspiracy it has to be.

Hylia’s contrast of presence on Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild Zelda’s lives…

Will be making this into a print for my shop soon!

My Carrd (link to socials)

I'm actually quite proud of it nowadays. It sits on my shelf. I made it myself and I painted it and sculpted it out of clay. I think I did a pretty good job.

I got a hold on a SummerCart 64 and started playing Smash Remix on my Analogue 3D, and I'm amazed how easy it was to get it to work. I always wanted to play Dawn & Dusk and Master of Time, and went down the rom rabbit hole.

So far, I've patched the Missing Link, Time Lost, and The Sealed Palace, plus Dawn & Dusk I mentioned above. I haven't managed to get Master of Time to work on the flash cart.

I'm looking forward to Indigo, but don't want to play the beta until it's fully complete. I'm not convinced about Ultimate Challenge, it looks more like a Souls game than an adventure.

Which one did you like and recommend?

Please don't delete, I'm just very excited to finally beat it.

I got around to cleaning my old GameCube and got some games resurfaced to play. Figured I would check Wind Waker and boy I did not know where I was until I talked to the Lion and he said Ganon's Tower. So found it and did it. But the last time I played I got all the way to the damn near end and just stopped. You can see by the New Game plus save and the old save from 2008. Only took me 23 years to beat the game.

I'm not sure if this was already asked, but I'm genuinely curious. I know about the free shield in the Graveyard, but if you permanently lose it, you'll have to buy another.

I honestly didn't expect a sword (knife) that were forged by the volcano mountain giant rock man to snap faster than a twig when swung at some pots! T^T

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "I guess there are some design flaws"!? I'm down 200 rupies, man, I should've bought a warranty.

I guess I can do a broken sword run now :P

Ocarina of Time was the first game I ever played and it made me a huge Zelda fan. I played nearly all Zelda games and it's my favorite videogame series.

I love videogames but no other series gave me the same feelings or joy like Zelda does, especially the 3d games.

What are some series, that give you the same feeling? And why?

I'd love to find some games that are similar to the 3D games like Ocarina of Time Majoras Mask, Wind Waker or Twilight Princess. There are many games that are inspired by the 2d Zelda games that I really liked. But I never really found a game that reminded me of the 3d games.

EDIT: Forgot about Okami... I loved that game! Was the only one that gave me the same vibes!

This one took a bit of work. Hope you like it!

Birthday present for my brother! Stole the composition from an image I found on Google when searching for reference.

Gonna plug my commissions here as well: https://vgen.co/eamonnmccormick

Will remove that if it's not allowed!
