Worst 3D Zelda yeah. Can't say how it compares to the 2D Zeldas though since I haven't played all of them, but of the ones I have played I'd probably say Zelda 2 is worse.

Zelda's Adventure is by far the worst, but if we're not including the ones Nintendo didn't make, then Majora's Mask is the worst.

Its not a terrible game but I got decently far and found it a little underwhelming. Problem is BotW the closest thing to a perfect Zelda game imo so if I play SS, Im just going to want to switch to BotW and do another play through.

Of the 3D games, it's near the lower end of the tier list. I think there are worse ones though

In terms of 3d it really is bottom of the barrel. Fi is easily the worst companion ever, the gameplay revolves almost entirely around your sword and the clunky motion controls, most of your gear is garbage, and must be upgraded.

And the story and writings are utter trash, often repeating expositiin you just heard moments after like you have a 5 second memory. If any Zelda game needed VA, it was this one without question.

Not even close, that's Phantom Hourglass. Skyward Sword is upper-mid tier imo.

Holy fuck, there are some garbage opinions in this topic. I don't know how anyone can play MM, WW, or TP and conclude that any of them are inferior to a Metroidvania game with no exploration.

Skyward Sword is trash, but its not quite at the bottom of the bin.

Probably one of the DS games is worse. PH was so painful I couldnt finish it. A bit ironic. I despise the shitty touch controls, but have no problem with SSs motion controls. They always worked fine for me. >_>

Man this topic makes me feel kinda sad, haven't played a new Zelda game since wind waker, which I only played at my uncle's house. Last new Zelda I beat was oracle of ages/spirits

What Zelda game should I play next? I have a switch even. I kinda didn't want to play botw because it's apparently way different

Spirit Tracks is easily better than Phantom Hourglass. But both and SS aren't the worst for me. Probably Zelda II although I've played it the least out of the whole series.

Twilight Princess if you have a Wii U or a Gamecube. You probably do not want to play the Wii version. Skyward Sword is worth playing and you should get the remaster.

Skyward sword was a game limited as much by the system it was made for as it was design choices. It makes me wonder what a remake could potentially bring to the table.

I would argue that Wind Waker HD was worth full price

But let's be honest here, what Nintendo should do is re-release the previous HD remakes as part of a collection package. But they won't.
