Zelda Informer’s All Time Ranking of Every Zelda Game: 2014

It’s been many years since we last compiled a staff list of all 17 main line games being ranked. The question today is where the games collectively rank from our staff in 2014! Later we’ll run a poll to help determine where our fans rank games, but more on that later. These sort of lists are ever changing each year as everyone shuffles games around over time. As of today, this year, in 2014… this is what the staff have determined to be our full list. This list is based on individual listings by staff members behind the scenes.

1. Majora’s Mask (120)
2. The Wind Waker (109)
3. A Link Between Worlds (101)
4. Ocarina of Time (96)
5. Skyward Sword (92)
6. Link’s Awakening (92)
7. Twilight Princess (82)
8. A Link to the Past (77)
9. Oracle of Ages (75)
10. The Minish Cap (63)
11. The Adventure of Link (56)
12. The Legend of Zelda (54)
13. Spirit Tracks (52)
14. Oracle of Seasons (50)
15. Phantom Hourglass: (41)
16. Four Swords Adventure: (32)
17. Four Swords (17)

The above list was compiled based on a point system that counts from the bottom up. That means if someone didn’t include a game because they didn’t play it, the top game on the list would only be worth 16 points, versus someone who played all 17 and thus would get 17 points. We found this to be a rather fair system last time, and we’ll keep using it in the future. Below in the comments is each of our staff’s individual listings for those that like to check the math or simply want to know which author ranks specific games.
