Every Main Series Zelda Game, Ranked
Twenty-one games across four decades, from the 1986 NES original to Echoes of Wisdom. The ranking weighs each game's design influence, how well its puzzles and dungeons hold up and what each one still does better than the rest of the catalogue. Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild each rebuilt the series from the ground up; A Link to the Past and Majora's Mask turned smaller canvases into the tightest adventures Nintendo has shipped.

The overhead line runs from the NES original through Link's Awakening, the Oracle duology, the Four Swords experiments and the handheld era, up to A Link Between Worlds and Echoes of Wisdom. These are the purest puzzle boxes in the series: tighter maps, denser secrets and dungeons built around a single new toy.
