POLL: Who Makes the Best Zelda Games?

Posted on March 17 2014 by Nathanial Rumphol-Janc

Browsing the internet today I came upon a very interesting piece at US Gamer. They are asking folks to debate over which group of developers have crafted the absolute best Zelda games. They break down the series into eras, with Nintendo EAD under Miyamoto, Animation Magic (Wand of Gamelon, Faces of Evil), Viridis (Zelda’s Adventure), Nintendo EAD under Eiji Aonuma, Flagship, and Nintendo Software Development Group 3. Heck, many of you may not even be aware that Nintendo SDG3 was currently the group in charge of Zelda, as often we keep giving Nintendo EAD the credit – which is technically incorrect. Nintendo SDG3 actually works under the overarching Nintendo EAD, so it is understandable why the terms get interchanged.

Anyways, it is an interesting question and one I pondered myself. Thus, we’re doing a special today where we will run two polls – one to determine which development group crafted the best games, and then one where we ask what Producer/Director combination crafted the best games.
