IGN Updates Their Top 25 3DS Games List for 2015 – All Three Zelda Titles Make The List

IGN has recently updated their “Top 25 Nintendo 3DS Games” list for Spring 2015. This new update comes with a couple of the more recent releases for Nintendo’s handheld, including Majora’s Mask 3D. In fact, all three Legend of Zelda titles released for the 3DS managed to make the list, with one of them actually landing the #1 spot!

Hitting #11 was none other than the recently released Majora’s Mask 3D! Praising the game for it’s “interesting game design” and “strong world building”, it comes as no surprise that this fantastic entry in the series made this list after only being out for 2 weeks. Moving 4 spots forward we have Ocarina of Time 3D hitting #7 on the list! It’s been almost 3 years since this game was released on the 3DS and it still manages to make it to the Top 10 in lists like these. This truly shows just how brilliant the game is.

Landing the #1 spot on this Top 25 list is the critically acclaimed “sequel” to the SNES classic: A Link Between Worlds. Bringing with it the return of 2D-style Zelda gameplay, along with an updated version of A Link to the Past‘s Hyrule, this game has become a fan favorite for both new and old players alike. I’d say the #1 spot is very well deserved for this fun and nostalgic Zelda game.

If you’re interested in reading exactly what IGN had to say about each of these titles, here are the exact quotes regarding each of them:

About Majora’s Mask 3D:

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D proves that interesting game design and strong world building never get old. 15 years later, it still delivers charming characters, tense moments, and a world rife with personality.

About Ocarina of Time 3D:

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D molded the 1998 Nintendo 64 original to fit a more modern standard. Sporting an updated visual style and a handful of gameplay tweaks split across two screens, Nintendo and co-developer Grezzo added a fresh layer of dimension to a game many already considered a masterpiece.

About A Link Between Worlds:

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds takes us back in time to one of the most influential games from the Super Nintendo era. It’s a nostalgic trip, but one that finds new ways to captivate players with fresh ideas and inventions.
