My boyfriend has forced me to play ALL 3D LoZ games in anticipation for BotW when the only one I had ever touched before was Skyward Sword (which I hate and only got past like three dungeons before quitting) and I have come to the conclusion that LoZ is overrated and a piece of ****.
That might be partly because I have beat them all, but now I'm back to being stuck on Skyward Sword. I hate motion controls so much. The camera in OoT and MM is terrible and it makes me want to KILL myself in a good majority of them.
My favorite is totally Wind Waker though. It's so cute.

I have only played Phantom Hourglass and Link Between Worlds when it comes to handheld LoZ games and I have to say out of any game that I played that is LoZ.. A Link Between Worlds is my favorite too.
