Daily Debate: Which Zelda Game are You Most Thankful for?

In light of Thanksgiving, I have been thinking a lot about gratitude lately. And I am beyond grateful for The Legend of Zelda, as I believe all of you are as well. I’m grateful for the life lessons I often take to heart as I play through the empowering stories, I’m thankful for the memorable characters and epic adventures, and I’m especially grateful for the little inklings of confidence I gain when I hear the puzzle solve jingle–it never gets old.

But when I consider what game I am most grateful for, I have to go with Ocarina of Time, because it’s the first game in the series I played. I was hooked the moment I saw that title screen with Link riding Epona back in 1998, and I have been adventuring with Link and Zelda ever since. I’ll always be eternally grateful for that iconic masterpiece.

What about you? Which Zelda game are you most thankful for? Be sure to tell us why! Happy Thanksgiving!

She has loved The Legend of Zelda series since she was a little girl because of its equal mix of princesses, besting bad guys, and heartfelt stories. Chakell lives in the overall tame state of Utah, but holds onto her childhood hopes to find an adventure in her backyard one day. She has a degree in English and is a full-time editor for a magazine. You can usually find her gaming (obviously), laughing with her husband, taking a long time to tell stories because she keeps getting distracted; getting sucked into books and podcasts; or snuggling her cute Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
