Re: Talking Point: Which Zelda Game Should You Play First?

I chose The Minish Cap because it's really simple and does a good job of introducing the themes and gameplay mechanics of the series. If you are only doing the 3D ones, then I'd choose Wind Waker for the same reason.
If you've never played Zelda before and for some reason are committing right now to playing all of them, then I might choose Breath of the Wild just to get it out of the way early since it's so bad.

Re: Feature: What's Your Biggest Nintendo Launch Day Regret?

Mine of course has to be the Switch launch. While I couldn’t possibly miss the launch of a new Nintendo console, the only game I got with it on launch day was The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which proved to be one of the biggest disappointments in gaming for me. I assumed it would be another 3D Zelda game like Wind Waker and Skyward Sword, but it’s almost as if they only put “Zelda” in the title so it would sell more copies.
In the end I’m glad I got the Switch because it has some of my favorite games ever on it now, but I really had nothing to play in the beginning.
