Daily Debate: Which 2D Zelda Game is Your Favorite?

It’s always so tough to pick your favorite Zelda game. After 30 years, there are a lot of decent titles in the Zelda franchise. Picking a favorite was once described to me as being similar to “picking your favorite child.” That seems like an accurate depiction, I would say. Instead of asking what your favorite Zelda game is, I thought we would shake it up a bit and have everyone pick which 2D Zelda game deserves the most love. My personal favorite is The Minish Cap, and I know we have some Link’s Awakening DX fans out there. I’ll provide a list of each official 2D Zelda title below (no fan games), and you can pick one to defend in the comment section.

• The Legend of Zelda
  
• The Adventure of Link
  
• A Link to the Past
  
• Link’s Awakening (normal and DX)
  
• Oracle of Ages
  
• Oracle of Seasons
  
• Four Swords
