/vr/ - Retro Games

Original or DX?

I've never played a Zelda game.
1) Which of the games are actually worth playing in 2018?
2) Where should I start?

>rewarding exploration, discovery, exploring the world differently as the game progresses based on what tools you've acquired.
And that's exactly what the games do,
great part of the content is hidden, you are not spoonfeed to obtain special upgrades or rings. And these things are hidden in sectors you already visited. How is that different to A Link to the Past? Well, instead of a ruffian, its a creepy old again the person in charge of rewarding you with rupees.
>endless series of linear progression to the next set area, linear backtracking to designated dialogue area, linear progression to the next set area, very little to find along the way.
The effect is the same. In alttp you spend most of the time inside a big donut and whenever adquire a new item, you have to backtrack to a different section of this donut to unlock a new area. In the oracle games, to make a better use of space, it is handle through branches, but there is as much linearity. 1 and (to some extent) 2 gave more freedom but always with a specific order in mind (think of the dungeon levels). In any case, it can't be said oracle games are too different from zelda 3, arguably the best zelda.

It means that part of the game that doesn't contribute directly to the gameplay aspect but still will be dearly remembered in the future with nostalgia and sadness, as you will remember an old friend or lover.
