you are proably to young to enjoy an outdated game like zelda. and if you can play older games without thinking about only the graphics then you proably just don't like the games.

I didn't like OOT or Windwaker.

My favorite is Zelda 2. It is by far the best IMO. Followed by zelda 3, and zelda 1 started it all.

as for what the big deal is about them. Zelda 1 was the first game to use the save your game function, it was the largest scaled game of its time, had the first musical composer design the music, and without that game the NES would have never out sold the Sega Master system.

Zelda 2 was the first game to have both the over world veiw and side scrolling. It was Huge is scale, and it's graphics for the time were top notch. This game also gives link magic and the ability to level up his sword, Magic, and heart. and you fight your shadow the hardest fight in Zelda history.

Zelda 3 was a rebirth of zelda 1. No complants about this game except it wasn't long enough.

If you still don't understaind whats the big deal about zelda thats fine, just know that it is a big deal even if you don't understand it. Just like whats the big deal about E=mc2 you man not understaind it but that doesn't mean its not a big deal.

Damn I talk to much.
