I scratched The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time<\/strong>, Oracle of Ages<\/strong>, and Oracle of Seasons<\/strong> off the list last month, which is pretty good, I think. That puts me about a month ahead of my timeline, and that’s important. The more Zeldas I can carve my way through before the release of Monster Hunter Rise<\/strong>, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve still been recording my playthroughs, though they’re getting to be quite a bit longer now. OoT actually should have been fairly quick, except I played the randomizer, which led to lots and lots of wandering and backtracking. All part of the fun, though! And at the current rate, we’ll be seeing A Link to the Past<\/strong> and Link’s Awakening<\/strong> running in parallel throughout March, so the OoT videos won’t even start going live until April comes around. I’m probably going to have to start publishing three Zelda videos a week to get these all out by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An interesting little oopsie that I made was placing the Oracle games before Majora’s Mask<\/strong>. I cold have sworn that Wikipedia told me it was that way when I was checking the timeline, but that is not the case. Majora came first. Oh well. It’s not like anything important was actually hinging on me playing these in perfect release order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that the rambling’s done, I think I’m through enough games now to start ranking them. I don’t really expect my top four to move all that much, but it’ll be interesting to see how the the less-beloved entries stack up after playing them all back-to-back-to-back-etc. I’ll probably add narrative at the end of the year, but for now, it’s just going to be a list. Watch the darn videos if you want context!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Link’s Awakening<\/li>
  2. A Link to the Past<\/li>
  3. Ocarina of Time<\/li>
  4. The Legend of Zelda<\/li>
  5. Oracle of Seasons<\/li>
  6. Oracle of Ages<\/li>
  7. The Adventure of Link<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
