After all, it\u2019s a follow-up to a critically acclaimed installment and one of the biggest releases this year. But someone might also wonder if it is really the best <em>The Legend of Zelda<\/em> game to play at the moment, especially if someone is new to the series and it would be their first one. It\u2019s going to be big and intimidating! Since I\u2019ve been playing entries in the series since the NES, I figured suggesting different sorts of installments could help people pin down the right one to pick up and play. <\/p> <h2 id=\"i-want-to-play-the-newest-the-legend-of-zelda-game-first-tears-of-the-kingdom\">I want to play the newest <em>The Legend of Zelda<\/em> game first: <em>Tears of the Kingdom<\/em><\/h2> <p>I figured let\u2019s start this out with an easy one. If you don\u2019t care about history, gameplay, or style of gameplay and just want the newest game, go with <em>The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/em>. It\u2019s the newest possible entry and you can find it on the Nintendo Switch.<\/p> <p>However, since it is a sequel, I\u2019d say you really might want to play <em>The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/em> first if you can. <\/p> <h2 id=\"i-want-to-play-what-may-be-all-time-best-the-legend-of-zelda-game-first-a-link-to-the-past\">I want to play what may be all-time best <em>The Legend of Zelda<\/em> game first: <em>A Link to the Past<\/em><\/h2> <p>While the original NES <em>The Legend of Zelda<\/em> titles lay an incredible foundation, <em>A Link to the Past<\/em> is perhaps one of the best games ever made. The artistry, game design, dungeons, and premise are all pretty much perfect. It appeared on the SNES, GBA (with <em>Four Swords<\/em>), 3DS, Wii, and Wii U via Virtual Console, and Nintendo Switch Online. <\/p> <h2 id=\"i-want-to-play-one-of-the-all-time-greatest-3d-the-legend-of-zelda-games-first-the-ocarina-of-time\">I want to play one of the all-time greatest 3D <em>The Legend of Zelda<\/em> games first: <em>The Ocarina of Time<\/em><\/h2> <p><em>The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time<\/em> is a formative game. It isn\u2019t just a wonderful <em>The Legend of Zelda<\/em> title. Both it and <em>A Link to the Past<\/em> should basically be mandatory playing for anyone who wants to really understand action games with a real sense of adventure. The storyline is great, the dungeons are fantastic, the time travel mechanic is wonderful, and it\u2019s a delight. You can find it on the N64, GameCube, Wii and Wii U via Virtual Console, Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, and 3DS. <\/p> <div id=\"attachment_962574\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/which-legend-of-zelda-game-should-i-play-first-wind-waker.jpg?resize=1200%2C675\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-962574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/which-legend-of-zelda-game-should-i-play-first-wind-waker.jpg?resize=1200%2C675\" alt=\"Which Legend of Zelda Game Should I Play First?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" class=\"size-full wp-image-962574\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-962574\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Nintendo<\/p><\/div> <h2 id=\"i-want-to-play-a-bright-and-colorful-the-legend-of-zelda-game-first-the-wind-waker\">I want to play a bright and colorful <em>The Legend of Zelda<\/em> game first: <em>The Wind Waker<\/em><\/h2> <p><em>The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker<\/em> is one of the brightest and most vibrant versions of Hyrule people will get to explore. It\u2019s one of the cel-shaded entries, and it also sets itself apart with its sea-faring ways. You can find it on the GameCube and Wii U. <\/p> <h2 id=\"i-want-to-play-a-more-unconventional-the-legend-of-zelda-games-first-majoras-mask\">I want to play a more unconventional <em>The Legend of Zelda<\/em> games first: <em>Majora\u2019s Mask<\/em><\/h2> <p><em>The Legend of Zelda: Majora\u2019s Mask<\/em> is weird in many wonderful ways. It\u2019s a direct follow-up to <em>The Ocarina of Time<\/em>. It relies upon masks for different abilities and progression. It\u2019s incredibly dark, as we see a moon about to crush everything. Plus there\u2019s a time loop that involves repeating days until you can get everything done to save the day. It\u2019s good! You can find it on the N64, GameCube, Wii and Wii U via Virtual Console, Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, and 3DS. <\/p> <h2 id=\"i-want-to-play-a-darker-the-legend-of-zelda-game-first-the-twilight-princess\">I want to play a darker <em>The Legend of Zelda<\/em> game first: <em>The Twilight Princess<\/em><\/h2> <p>While it isn\u2019t an open-world game, <em>The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess<\/em> is a huge game with fantastic dungeons, the glorious gremlin-like assistant Midna, and a version of Link that can transforms into a wolf. It\u2019s a darker title in many ways, both in terms of appearance and knowing Twilight infested Hyrule. It\u2019s definitely worth someone\u2019s time. You can find it on the GameCube, Wii, and Wii U.<\/p> <h2 id=\"i-want-to-play-a-multiplayer-the-legend-of-zelda-game-first-four-swords-adventures\">I want to play a multiplayer <em>The Legend of Zelda<\/em> game first: <em>Four Swords Adventures<\/em><\/h2> <p><em>The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures<\/em> is so much fun! You can get together and form a group of four people who all control a \u201cLink\u201d to solve puzzles and progress through the adventure. It\u2019s a wonderful GameCube game. Though also, if you can\u2019t find it, then <em>Four Swords<\/em> on the GBA (via <em>The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past<\/em>) or <em>The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition<\/em> on the DSi or 3DS if you have it is also a lot of fun.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case you&#8217;re not sure if Tears of the Kingdom is for you, here are some others you could play too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":962575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":true,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[100120,3778,13585,104,5761],"tags":[27,16599,25,16,1274,2,2726,6412,184043,4124,5401,185865,5606],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v22.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Which The Legend of Zelda Game Should I Play First?
