Nintendo stepped into gaming long ago, and even back then they were hellbent on changing the way people play games. They gave us games like Super Mario Bros. a series of puzzle platformers that were hard as nails.

And then they gave us The Legend of Zelda, a game that fuelled the fire of adventuring amongst its players. Designer Shigeru Miyamoto was inspired by Peter Pan and a bunch of other classic pieces of fiction when coming up with this game.

The main character Link’s green tunic was evidently inspired by Peter pan. It is also said that he was named Link because he connected people together. And ever since that game, we have seen numerous installments in this series.

Every single one of them has proven iconic, and every single one of them was near perfect. So, which one should wear the crown of the best game in the series? Fans have numerous opinions, from Link Between Worlds to Majora’s Mask. But there are two games that leave any other game behind in their popularity.

One of them is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and the other is Wind Waker. While Wind Waker has been a discussion a number of times, Ocarina of Time to this day sits on Metacritic as the best-rated game of all time!

It is not always that a game earns a Metacritic score of 99% and remains undefeated over 20 years after its launch. Wind Waker, on the other hand, sits at 96%. Even games like Horizon Forbidden West and God of War: Ragnarok which won a lot of awards remain at 88% and 94% respectively.

If someone is ever asked what is the best Zelda game of all time, it would not be a surprise if a fan answers Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker. These games are still touted as perfection in game-making by many!

What do fans have to say about this?

Although fans have their own opinion when it comes to choosing the best Zelda game ever made. When The Game Awards asked for their favorite Zelda game of all time, their choices were not limited to just Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time.
