Spirit Tracks Rated Last In Zelda Series
ZeldaDungeon have compiled the metric average scores for all past Zelda games to see which of the titles were received the best from critic reviews. This list excludes “Legend of Zelda” and “Zelda II: The Adventure of Link” as there is not enough review data available because of their age.
No surprise to see the “Ocarina of Time” at the top but more surprisingy is “Spirit Tracks” scoring the lowest over all entries. As far as Zelda goes go, we thought this deserves be in the middle of the list at least, however it could be a sign that people are starting to tire of the traditional Zelda design after so many entries. If nothing else, these overall scores just go to show how good and consistant the series has been so far.
Ocarina of Time – 97.66%
Twilight Princess – 95.29% (Gamecube)
The Wind Waker – 94.47%
A Link to the Past – 93.50% (Super Nintendo)
Oracle of Ages – 91.89%
Majora’s Mask – 91.80%
Oracle of Seasons – 91.50%
Link’s Awakening – 91.23%
The Minish Cap – 90.21%
Phantom Hourglass – 88.79%
Spirit Tracks – 86.76%

Comments on Spirit Tracks Rated Last In Zelda Series
It’s really unfair. The game is so innovative and fun, how could it be under Minish Cap?
Maybe the formula is growing tired, so that’s the reason the new Wii Zelda game is shaking up things, bringing an entirely new formula.
Yeah I agree, I think it deserves a higher spot but then I’ve not played Oracle of Ages so don’t know how it compares to that.
I’m half excited and half nervous for the new Zelda Wii. It would be great to have a new formula but I might end up missing the old formula if they change it too much!
I’d miss the old formula too if they change it drastically, but we know Nintendo and when they put their minds into work we should expect an awesome game.
