As far as I'm concerned, the Zelda series is dead. Dead and gone. With the exception of Majora's Mask, which everyone except me hated because they can't stand the idea of innovation, they've all been identical since Link to the Past. That's right: IDENTICAL!! In Link to the Past it was great, first you gather the three Amulets, then you deal with the Six Temples, then you storm Ganon's Tower. It was great. Then came Ocarina of Time (Another game I can't stand because of all you Internet Fanboys). I started the game thinking "Cool! New Zelda-saving action!" Ten minutes later I was thinking "Wow! Link to the Past in 3D!!" Half an hour after that I was thinking "Wow. I'm bored now. I've already done all of this." Majora's Mask was a far BETTER game than Ocarina of time, because it brought CHANGE to the series. It was something new. And the Masks? Sheer Genius. A massive variety of masks with different uses, that made it possible to play through the game in a variety of ways. And, on top of that, you didn't have to start a new file to restart the game. All youo had to do was play the song. Which was doubly useful, because if you screwed something up, all you had to do was play the song to get a fresh start.But of course, the game failed because it tried something new. Then came Windwaker. I started it with the same attitude I started Ocarina of Time with. I ended up with the same disappointment. Link to the Past in 3D with a sailboat. Wow. Some innovation that is. Until the Zelda series moves to a new company, I shall ignore it the same way I ignore the vast majority of the other crap that's getting released these days.
