The Legend of Zelda Series

[Vasher]

I played the original “Legend of Zelda” and “Link’s Adventure” back in the 80’s. Went through “A Link to the Past” when it was released on the SNES. My eldest son and I beat Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword on the Wii. ... but it wasn’t until my eldest, 2’nd, and I played through “Link’s Awakening” on the Switch that I fell in love with the franchise. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been a huge fan and avid player, but watching my 6yr old (at the time) fall for the series, as well as my eldest come to understand the initial brilliance (as LA really captures that original feel), was very... nostalgic (only a lot
More than that).

We’ve played through BotW and Age of Calamity, unlocked nearly 100% of the content on each, including the Amiibo characters/gear for BotW. Not trying to spoil anything, so just mentioning that we’re only missing the final character on AoC.

My 7yr old is so enamored with LoZ that he has a Master Sword, Hylian Shield, Link’s bow (not sure which one), Link’s costume (think it’s from Skyward Sword), and a playable ceramic Ocarina (TriForce in the glaze). He’s done his research and wants a GameCube w/“Majora’s Mask” and “Ocarina of
Time”.

Amazes me that there are games/franchises from over 30 years ago that are not only relevant, but industry leading today.

Anyhow, loving some LoZ over here.
