00:00Over 20 Zelda games have been made, and these are the best of the bunch.
00:04Number 5, it's The Wind Waker HD.
00:07Proving that a great aesthetic can outshine realism every time,
00:11Wind Waker remains one of the most beloved games in the series.
00:15Number 4, it's Link's Awakening.
00:17A smaller-scale adventure with big ambitions, this is peak old-school Zelda,
00:21which is why it's still remembered as one of the best Game Boy games.
00:25Number 3 is A Link to the Past.
00:27A Link to the Past brilliantly built on its NES predecessor,
00:31and set the standard by which future entries would be judged.
00:34Its graphics, gameplay, and music were outstanding for the time,
00:38introducing many ideas that became series' staples.
00:42Number 2, is Tears of the Kingdom.
00:44This is everything a sequel should be.
00:46It's smarter, larger, and more intuitive,
00:49building off the foundations established by Breath of the Wild
00:52to create something with an enhanced sandbox to allow for even more creativity.
00:56Number 1, is Breath of the Wild.
00:58Breath of the Wild is simultaneously a reinvention of everything you know about The Legend of Zelda,
01:03as well as the next logical step for the series.
01:06It's absolutely massive, and all of it is wrapped in melancholy.
01:10It's, in a word, breathtaking,
01:13and it marks a rebirth for The Legend of Zelda.
01:15And the jump was insane for the mathematics of the creek.
