>>149545087They are good Zelda clones, the first 2 at least. Formula = magic lessons are dungeons, you obtain a spell which lets you escape the dungeon. 3 was beginning of a downfall, where looking like the movies became more important than good level design, and games became more linear and much easier. 4 I believe has some cool side objectives/collectibles (did not play, just read about it). 5 and 6 are padded with uninteresting side content and otherwise are generic EA movie games. 7 is the worst.
Play 1 and 2, consider 3 and 4, ignore the rest. 1 thing that the games gave us is great original score, which predates the movies, and thus predates John Williams' ideas.
