Topic: How do you want your Zelda,3D or 2D?

Which happens to be pretty much only Zelda 2, but I could be wrong, I've never played the first one. I assume there are stairs and other such height differences. Just because it doesn't look 3-D doesn't mean its not. And, as it turns out, it requires three dimensions to describe a plane and all "2-D" games are actually played in this "two dimensional" plane. A plane itself is 2-D, but it must be described in 3-D. Which it is, parallel to the surface of your TV screen

I really don't give two $h!ts, so long as it's a fun, well-made game.

I haven't played a Zelda yet that I haven't liked, and I've played all of them except for the ones on DS and Oracle of Ages/Seasons...and the CDi games, but no one really counts those, do they? I don't care how it's presented as long as it's Zelda

All the top-down Zeldas (asides Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, obviously) are 2D. Walls and staircases give the illusion of 3D, but I assure you nothing in the code or graphics is defined in 3D space. Everything uses two co-ordinates to describe its position onscreen - an X and a Y, which is 2D space.

I like Zelda in both ways. The only Zelda games I don't like much at all is Zelda 2(never liked it), Majora's Mask(the only console zelda I've never beaten, can't stand the 3 day thing limit), and Wind Waker(Didn't like the sea travelling). I love ALTTP, OOT, and TP the most.

Tough call, but I think the games like Four Swords and Minish Cap were a totally different "Zelda" experience than the 3D ones, and they both have their strengths. There's a versatility in level design to the top down 2D games that really hasn't been matched, although the 3D dungeons keep getting better. The only other thought I have is that I should really pick-up Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks, since they're technically 3D but seem to have some of the benefits that come with a semi-top down game perspective.

Would you like Octorocks with that?

I say if there is a great story line/plot (which there always is) and fun gameplay, I could care less what the graphics are on it. Zelda games are just really fun I love them. I have yet to play Spirit Tracks though.

I'll do either dimension, but I prefer my Zelda 2D. I don't know why, but I could never get into the 3D ones like I could the 2D ones.

Sure, but you still need a third dimension to define how far away the plane is from our faces. Which wasn`t very far when you were a kid
