Zelda is just another series that Nintendo is making bank off of due to peoples nostalgia. Just like Mario games. People buy them because they grew up with them, and they are rarely much good anymore. But they make people think of the games that were good that they used to play, and they enjoy being reminded, so they 'like' the game. If you got someone who has never played a zelda game in their life to play a newer one, I bet they would say it isn't so great compared to Skyrim. (Had they never played a TES, either, to be fair)

tell whats wrong with skyrim for u?

oh no someone doesn't agree with me
he must be mentally ill

seriously, are you [censored] or something?

1) It's Legend of Zelda.

2) It's their personal preference.

Well, for starters my character's head got chopped of right after I drink a heal potion...he somehow survived, but his head didn't. I thought the problem would be solved when I reloaded. But it didn't, his head appears as normal but the second I use unrelenting force it pops right off again. Also if I get on a horse or jump.

Other than that, I can't enter Whiterun without the game crashing... Besides that? I frequently get stuck between furniture and the game occasionally crashes for no reason.

i like OoT and twilight princess (for gamecube, the wii svcks), but the new game looks boring imo (giant flying birds? no thanks, i like windwaker's boats much more, boats are awsome :biggrin: ), it may have okay graphics but skyrim looks far better imo, and gameplay wise there is no argument to it, skyrim.

As much as I love Skyrim, it's not the be all and end all of gaming. It's a pretty damn good game but that doesn't mean you are not allowed to play other games or have other preferences. Pointless topic.

If I had a Wii, I would definitely get Zelda, that doesn't mean I'm going to hate Skyrim. Fanboyz will be fanboyz.

Same reason as why so many people like Morrowind. Nostalgia.

So do I, oranges are tougher to peel. :whistling:

Anyway, i play both Zelda and TES games, and... it's really a different genre. Zelda games are really enjoyable to play, but as far as the story goes, it's pretty much the same in every single game. Go to forest/fire/water/random temple, kill badguys, get items, defeat final boss, good game. It's just enjoyable, but it's really a matter of taste. A TES game is on an entirely different level, with more quests, stories, items and more choices, both moral and immoral. It's really not that easy to compare the two games just because they are games.


I think most of my comment sufficed as to why Zelda games are easier to debug than Tes games, but just for those naysayers about bugs.

Taking a game like Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Erasing the 2 and putting a 3 does not make it a new game. Changing the entire world, voice actors, music, art style, special abilities, skills, cities, makes a new game. Zelda is somewhere in between, it has the same story, items and whatnot in it's core, but still manages to be enjoyable in the way the story is told, and the new gimmicks always draw Zelda gamers back to buy the new game.

Personally, i prefer the hand-held versions of the Zelda games, on the DS. The cell-shaded graphics don't age and the games look and feel like a unique adventure.

Because Zelda is a good, stable fun game.

You need a new Wiimote. Works flawless for me.

And that's why Zelda is better than Skyrim.

It has EVERY feature its devs said it would.

It WORKS 100% right out of the box.

And it's a great game on top of that.

It's not because you probably the only one that has those problems (or atleast, one of the very few), that the whole game is unplayable for everyone.

It's a single platform game that's not that different from the game before it, and very, very, VERY linear.

No [censored] it's gonna have less bugs..

well i didnt notice any of these bugs , maybe im lucky :L

Personal preference?

Not me though. Skyrim all the way.

Nostalgia
I bet you if Zelda: Skyward Sword was an all new standalone Wii game, no one would recognize it at all.

Lol, im 120+ hours in the game and i've never seen any of the bugs you encountered so its too bad skyrim doesn't work for you.
the worst bugs i had were missing armor textures (solved by reloading the game) or CTDs (solved by using the 4gb workaround mod)

But to berate a game based on your personal bad experience which is not universal to everyone doesn't seem very fair to the game.

Guessing that the game is half the size of Skyrim I would think it should work out of the box and has every feature the devs said it would.

Zelda's good but it's not even in Skyrim's league.

its obvious that zelda isnt buggy like skyrim but its 100% linear and thats boring about it , not saying about grahpics because gameplay is the most important but the graphics in zelda is actually hurting my eyes :@ looks like disney channel

I really dont know why these threads even go up.

People play games that they like based on personal taste. Thats why. Some people, myself included, like SS more than Skyrim. Taste is your answer to this thread.

While i do enjoy Skyrim and have over 100 hours in it, i just like SS more.

Its all about opinion and personal tastes.

not saying that graphics is the most important thing in the game but i can still find many people saying that zelda's graphics and gameplay > skyrim graphics and gameplay

Just different tastes period. Different people like different things. Zelda is actually a fun series. ^_^

Some people have never played SS, but they're voting on it...

It's not because of nostalgia...
It's because they think that Skyrim svcks.

So, we get TES fans voting on Zelda, because they think that Skyrim is broken...
And also Zelda fans voting on Zelda... And I think they'll hardly vote on Skyrim... Zelda is really polished, bug-free... (Remember, it's not as big as Skyrim)

But, it's also about different tastes. Yeah, mostly...
They're both amazing.
