User blog comment:KirbiMiroir/Which Zelda Game?/@comment-25275196-20160813081417

My first Zelda game was Ocarina of Time (gamecube version), and it was very fun. However, the first Zelda game I finished was Twilight Princess (also gamecube version), which is also my favourite Zelda game. I'd recommend playing Twilight Princess first, since you're new to the series, since it's not the most difficult game of the bunch, but still pretty fun. That said, DO NOT PLAY THE WII VERSION. Only the Gamecube version or the Wii U remakes are playable, because the Wii version both ruined the controls and mirrored the entire world for no reason, both making Link right handed and with the Triforce of wisdom.

Also, Phantom Hourglass is without a doubt the worst Legend of Zelda game. Do not play it if you don't want to be disappointed (there's an iOS game called Oceanhorn, which was inspired by Phantom Hourglass, yet still manages to be better than it, which says something).

The Verdict: Play the Gamecube or Wii U version of Twilight Princess if you can, but otherwise, Ocarina of Time. Do not touch Phantom Hourglass.
