I'm going to replay all the Zelda games in release order this year

To officially wrap up this topic, I want to say thank you to everyone who's been reading my updates and giving their feedback throughout this journey over the past 15 months.

This entire idea started as an ambitious thought one boring evening last March. I knew it would be a lengthy task, but this took far longer than I had ever imagined. Life is pretty busy, and the ups and downs of day to day living definitely put some wrenches in my plans to complete this in a reasonable time frame. Documenting this series playthrough has been also in many ways me documenting my life...so I apologize for this seemingly like BlogFAQs at times.

I'm very glad that I stuck through it. The Legend of Zelda has absolutely been the most important video game series in my life. Miyamoto has often said that Link serves as a representation of you, the player, hence why they have insisted on keeping him a silent protagonist. In many ways, the entire series is a link to my past.

I will someday do this again. It won't be any time in the near future, especially now that I know that this is an endeavour that takes well over a year, and will only be longer as this series grows. Perhaps I'll be able to do this again when I retire in 30 years. I can only imagine where this series will be at that time. I fully intend on saving everything in this topic to be archived for future reads.

Nintendo has their hands on a true diamond. The care they've put into almost every single entry in the series has been a reflection of the importance that they also see in this incredible franchise. I can't think of another media franchise that has been so consistently golden for nearly 40 years straight. The legacy it has left will be the real Legend of Zelda.

I'll end this topic with a visual tier list. The structured one I ended my last comment with doesn't tell the full story, many of the entries are a lot closer than they seem. Thank you again to everyone who has followed this over the past 15 months!
