Daily Debate: What Zelda Game Do You Replay Annually?
Posted on January 03 2023 by Chakell Herbert

With the new year already moving forward, I’ve been considering what Zelda game I want to replay first as I await The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Throughout a good year, I usually replay all my favorites, including Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, The Wind Waker, Majora’s Mask, and The Minish Cap. Though there is one title I can never get enough of no matter how many times I replay it: Ocarina of Time. This is the game I always manage to squeeze in each year at least once, and sometimes even twice!
Ocarina of Time has a special place in my heart seeing that it was the first game in the series I ever picked up. It has become a sort of comfort game for me over the years that I like to revisit often. This game reminds me of simpler times, and the overarching message of growth and courage is just as poignant for me now as it was when I was a kid. So this adventure will definitely be one of the firsts on my list for 2023.
How about you? What games in the series do you love to replay each year? What will you be playing as we wait for Tears of the Kingdom? Let me know in the comments!
