these events help make this series
legendary welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 moments from The Legend
of Zelda games
for this list will be primarily
concentrating on key story and event
moments as we already have a list for
the greatest Zelda boss battles we’re
ranking these moments based on the
impact on the series memorability and of
course our own personal favorites number
10 finding links uncle The Legend of
Zelda a Link to the Past
heleng2 the past begins a Zelda games
often do with some backstory followed by
a small adventure leading into a larger
one namely balling the perpetual
protagonist of the series link as he
heads out into a storm to follow his
uncle armed with nothing but a lantern
the player soon catches up with the
uncle finding he wounded in the basement
of Zelda’s castle charging link with
protecting the princess the unnamed
uncle then passes out but not before
uttering a confusing and incomplete
final statement it’s generally believed
now that he was making a reference to
their mutual destiny yet this dark scene
and the uncle’s cryptic words remain
iconic number nine discovering Hyrule
Castle The Legend of Zelda the Wind
Waker Zelda fans always enjoy seeing
connections between the games even if
the specifics of the timelines can get
rather confusing and it doesn’t get much
better than finding Hyrule frozen in
time beneath the waves given how bright
and colorful Wind Waker is the contrast
with the grey coloured raine world
within the depths is a stark one and the
drab palette along with the statuesque
enemies reinforces the feeling of
entering a realm passed over by time the
discovery of Hyrule also acts as a
turning point of the game as link and
the player realize that they’ve only
scratched the surface of the adventure
number eight
leaving the Kokiri Forest The Legend of
Zelda Ocarina of Time departing from
home for the first time is difficult for
everyone which makes this early event in
ocarina of time easy to relate to the
game implies early on that the Kokiri
will die if they leave the forest yet
when their Guardian the great Deku Tree
tells link to head to Hyrule Castle you
get the sense that something’s not quite
right
what really hits at home though is
seeing links best friend serie who he’ll
be leaving behind say goodbye giving
him/her Ocarina though not the one from
the title to remember her by
sometimes it’s not believing that hits
the hardest but rather the ones we leave
behind number seven the castle
collapsing The Legend of Zelda Ocarina
of Time
upon apparently defeating Ganondorf in a
duel
Lincoln Zelda must fight their way out
of the villains castle as it collapses
around them as enemies assault them and
as a counter kicks off the time
remaining before it comes down on their
heads racing against the clock to escape
the building you’re in before it’s
destroyed is something you would be more
likely to see in a sci-fi / action game
like Metroid so the fact that it’s a
Natale game is a very cool if surprising
event indeed number 6 rabiot side entity
revealed The Legend of Zelda a link
between worlds ravio the rabid hooded
cowardly shopkeep remains an enigma
throughout most of a link between worlds
however after defeating the final boss
just before Hilda makes a desperate move
to ward Zelda this rupee grubbing
merchant reveals himself to be a servant
of princess Hilda princess Zelda’s
lorule counterpart as well as links own
doppelganger from lorule given his lack
of bravery ravio did not feel up to
confronting Hilda or Yuga who was
manipulating her on his own and so he
sought out link instead ravio is an
interesting take on Link’s character as
link often has to save Zelda from Ganon
but Ravi o has to save Hilda from
himself
number five bidness farewell The Legend
of Zelda Twilight Princess
saying goodbye to Midna the titular
Twilight Princess can be very emotional
for some players though fees departure
and Skyward Sword is also quite well
done
Nina’s definitely came first
while Lincoln had companions before
Midna distinguished herself from her
predecessors with her cheeky personality
and intriguing design the fact that she
wasn’t a boat or constantly telling us
to listen to her also helped quite a bit
what’s especially heart-wrenching about
this mid-credits scene is the fact that
Minda herself destroys the mirror that
could have allowed her or anyone or
anything else to return from the
Twilight Realm meaning that her goodbye
is effectively forever
number four : Thailand disappears the
legend of zelda links awakening
many games have opted for thee it was
all just a dream ending but the aptly
titled Link’s Awakening does it better
than most we promise upon defeating the
game’s final boss nightmare link awakens
the wind fish whose dream of the island
of qohelet
where the game takes place is all apart
up by awakening the wind fish link is
able to leave the island but as a result
all of the inhabitants vanish into
oblivion whoops not all is lost however
if you manage to beat the game without
dying meirin is able to fulfill her wish
of becoming a seagull and fly as far as
she can because living is definitely
just as good as being a seagull right
Oh
number three the final hours The Legend
of Zelda Majora’s Mask the moon hanging
over clock town along with a three day
time limit our constant pictures of
Majora’s Mask
so when time starts to run out the final
hours begin along with the haunting
music the townspeople all begin
contemplating their imminent death with
reactions ranging from cowering in a
corner too tragic acceptance by two
lovers provided one of the game’s more
lengthy side quests has already been
completed and while it is satisfying to
see disaster averted with the help of
the Giants the moon crashing into the
earth is one of the most memorable game
over sequences ever as well as a
terrifying depiction of the world’s end
number two the death of Ganondorf The
Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker
while some may point to ganondorf’s
arguably more brutal death and twilight
princess at the hands of a fellow
villain as the superior death scene for
him our pick has to go to the
incarnation from Wind Waker while the
death itself is similar to other
versions namely getting stabbed in the
head the lead-up to it as well as the
atmosphere is unmatched as an archetypal
villain Ganondorf can be a bit OneNote
in most Zelda titles
however Wind Waker does perhaps the best
job in fleshing out the antagonists
character and nowhere is that more
evident than in his final scenes
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
number one lifting the Master Sword the
legend of zelda ocarina of time
despite appearing in nearly every Zelda
game since a Link to the Past our pick
for the most significant Master Sword
moment and the best Zelda moment in
general has to go to this one
lifting the Master Sword marks the
turning point from childhood to
adulthood in the game story literally
transitioning link and the player to the
future to a time when Ganondorf has
already won a victory only made possible
by links intrusion into the temple of
time and by drawing the sword
while the ocarina of time may be in the
name it’s the master sword that this
spectacular game really hinges on
