Yeah, I know, it’s one of the most beloved and acclaimed franchises ever, but honestly, I just can’t get into them. I’ve tried every title, from Ocarina of Time to Breath of the Wild, and I still find them boring and repetitive. I just can’t get immersed in their world, and the gameplay mechanics don’t click with me. I’ll never understand why everyone treats them like masterpieces.

Well, Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild are masterpieces, even if they don’t click for you.
Sounds like they just aren’t for you. Not every game is for everyone.
Now that is what I call an unpopular opinion.
Up there with not liking ice cream or puppies.
Have an upvote def unpopular.
This is not an opinion: it’s just your personal preference.
No game is supposed to be loved by everyone
They are fun action adventure games but i can understand why you find them repetitive. While i don’t consider them among my favorite games i like them but i have to admit that i prefer the 2Ds over the 3Ds
What games do you like?
Ocarina of time was so ahead of its era, wasn’t the first 3-D RPG but it definitely brought the genre into the mainstream
We can thank it indirectly for the success of everything from Elder Scrolls to the Witcher series and that makes it worth giving it some praise by itself
You can enjoy things that are bad and dislike things that are good, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t those things, it just means you have a different preference to other people.
ngl I didn’t get the Zelda hype till I played The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
Same but also final fantasy 7, 8 etc.., the story and art are great but i just find playing it super boring and it drags for ages.
What do you mean you hate Zelda games?? You’ve played all the games!
(Altering a quote from Parks and Rec)
But it’s okay that they don’t vibe with you.
It kinda looks like all your opinions are bad, not even just the ones about Zelda. Idk if this post is unpopular or just stupid in general
Really? Not one game clicked with you?
Wind waker is the goat I’ll die on that hill
i agree the tradition zeldas arent fun like ocarina and skyward sword.
that’s fine, but what types of games do you enjoy?
My brother in Christ. Stop buying and playing Zelda games if you don’t like them.
When the next release comes out are you going to play through that one too? If so, why? Whats the breaking point
Unpopular but everyone’s entitled to their opinion.
I personally think Elden Ring is boring AF and also can’t understand why anyone likes it.
Each to their own I suppose.
I think this is the first time an unpopular opinion on here has been all 3 of:
A) unpopular
B) an opinion
C) something I agree wholeheartedly with
It feels strange to upvote here and be happy about it
There are games that are extremely popular and are considered masterpieces (Red Dead Redemtion 2 comes to mind), but I simply can’t get into them. Even if I can’t get into the game, I can definitely understand what could be the appeal to others and why they would be considered a masterpiece.
This is kinda valid
Respect you for posting an unpopular opinion, but I also think you have shit taste.
What are some of your favorite games then? You might be able to redeem yourself.
I loved the Zelda for NES. This was what..38 years ago? Maybe you should try that one.
I feel like you like them a little more than you say. Zelda has a good amount of titles why would you try them all if you “can’t stand them”? There’s plenty of other games out there. I feel like you either like them more than you think or you haven’t played every title and just said that to avoid people saying “what about BoTW did you even try that”
You played Oracle of Ages, didn’t like it at all, and thought “ok, now on to Oracle of Seasons”?
At no point did you think “These two titles appear to be pretty much the same game, so I’m going to skip game y because it looks very similar to game x which I know I didn’t like”?
Are you ok?
I really liked Ocarina of Time, but honestly, it was too hard for me to finish. I like a game I can just coast through and can find relaxing. SOMETIMES, i like the puzzle thing, but only when I feel like it. So like an open world with the option to do puzzles when i want and an easy setting for combat is what i like
Same. I’ve always been a Mario guy.
I know what you mean. Thats why I found BotW to be so refreshing. Its not a good zelda game, because the things that make zelda “zelda” were pretty lackluster, but its a damn great experience in its own right.
I feel like OOT to BOTW doesnt include Link to the Past, my personal favorite, and the only one I’ve ever really gotten into lol
I agree. I’ve tried every single one. I get soo so bored. Just not the world or characters for me:(
I agree with your opinion.
Totally understand not being into it. Zelda games can range from zany to niche and it is rather phenomenal considering all of the disparity between fans on what they like about the games.
Zelda is one of Reddits sacred cows. You can’t post any slop you want but as long as it’s got a Triforce it people go nuts. Nintendo could release a sack of gravel with Zelda branding and people would call it Game of the Year
Not every game is for everyone. For example I understand why many people love games like Dark Souls, but they just aren’t my thing. That being said it sounds more like the setting and story of the game that you don’t like since the mechanics between OoT and BotW are so vastly different.
I’ve never liked them as much as everyone else and I think the series honestly peaked with the first game, to me it’s a great game since then it’s slowly gone downhill
I’ve also not gotten into the Legend of Zelda games. The only one I ever finished was the first one on NES. There’s a lot of games that get super hyped that I don’t enjoy; the Witcher is a great example of that.
Have you tried any 2d ones? Link to the Past especially? You mentioned from Ocarina, which for me that game is insanely overrated and hasn’t stood up well at all. The old 2d ones tho…..gaming perfection
I’m a bit confused. You’ve played every Zelda since OoT and you don’t like any of them?
Why did you keep buying them?
I bought my wife breath of the wild and she hated it. Not everybody likes the same things.
