To any and all Legend of Zelda fans: What are your opinions on the older 2D games? Have you played any of them? If so, which ones, and did you enjoy them (and what did you like about them)? As someone who finds themselves more fond of the 2D games than the 3D games (even though I do dearly love Wind Waker, Skyward Sword and Spirit Tracks) I never really see them get any love, and I'd love to know if anyone else likes them!

My favorite 2D Legend of Zelda game (and favorite Legend of Zelda game in general) is Minish Cap! I loved witnessing the creation of the Four Sword used in Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures, and I thought Vaati was such a fun villain. I also really like the original Legend of Zelda from 1986 and its sequel, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (even if the latter wanted to make me tear my hair out while playing sometimes ^^;). And, of course, A Link to the Past was iconic, and Link's Awakening was silly and bittersweet in equal measure. Oracle of Ages & Oracle of Seasons were similarly really fun!

And speaking of 2D Zelda games, fun fact! Did you know that the only weapon capable of destroying Ganon in his beast form is the Silver Arrow from the original Legend of Zelda and A Link to the Past? :omg: The Master Sword and the Four Sword are both capable of sealing Ganon away, but only the Silver Arrows can truly defeat him. (Ganondorf, obviously, is a different story xD)

I played Links Awakening in the GB-Color Version back in the days, and for me this is the definite 2D-Zelda :).
There was a cool HD-Version with source code on Itch a few weeks ago:

ofc it got taken offline in no time by Nintendo.

I'm quite sure that I killed Ganon at the end of Ocarina of Time, didn't I?
