The Legend of Zelda franchise is full of mainline games, remakes, and spin-offs that have fans jumping for joy or disappointment. I’ll be going through the 37 titles in the franchise and explaining which Legend of Zelda games are the crème de la crème in this Legend of Zelda Tier list.

This tier list ranks all games from S to D. I'm sure you'll agree with some of them, while others may be controversial if you didn't grow up with them, didn't like the mechanics, or perhaps never tried them. Despite the differences, I hope this Legend of Zelda Tier List helps you decide which Legend of Zelda title to pick up next.

Each of these 8 games is a surefire way to get a friend in the Legend of Zelda franchise. If you're looking to start a new adventure as Link, check out these games first.

Next to Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild is the Zelda game with the largest map. With this size, you can spend hours exploring, doing quests, finding Koroks, and pretty much anything else you can think of. It gives players a lot of room to be creative, which has led to the community coming together online to show off things like crazy ways to solve puzzles and methods to make Link fly high into the sky. It ushered in a new wave of Zelda fans and truly earned its place as one of the best Zelda games of all time.
