Your passion burns through your videos. I think you have noticed your ranking videos get the most views. Not gonna lie I like watching those the most because it's more personal, and you allow your captivating persona to shine through more. But never stop trying new things, anyway you my subscription and I guarantee you more coming for your quality. Oh and and I want to hear more, of your opinions, they are interesting.
Thank you man! That is a great compliment to hear! Glad your enjoying them.
Spitting facts
@@Abefiletti Yep.
18:34 I'm gonna listen very carefully how you choose to out the GOAT of 2d Zelda in 3rd but willing to give a pass since Minish cap and Link to the Past are in top 3.
Already know Link: Faces Of Evil, Zelda: Wand Of Gamelon and Zelda’s Adventure are 1A,1B and 1C.
Oh damn your right
It makes me so sad that this content is getting such little attention, please keep up the good work!
Thank you man! Never stopping making these videos, glad that your watching!
RIGHT!! My first zelda was a link to the past, and i kinda miss the 2d zeldas. I wish theyd give them the metroid dread treatment and bring them back in a fun new yet familiar way
Finally, proper attention to my boy Minish Cap
Youuuuuu know it!
Yeah my favorite one.
Yessss. Now I just need a list where ALttP is in its rightful place near the bottom.
@@stunningcactus978 👀
@@stunningcactus978 woah woah woah. thats an egregious take. ALttP is amazing.
I was worried for a split second there when Minish Cap music started playing at the #11 spot, before remembering that I've watched enough of your rankings to know that the music does not usually correspond to the game that's at that spot. :D
Haha, I hate when I'm watching a countdown the music spoils the game reveal. That's why I always mix up the music
Your underrated.
Thank you
I would definitely be down to a "worst to best" for the Mario&luigi series.
It’s easy, bowser’s inside story is the best.
It’s been so long since I’ve played Minish Cap. Hoping Nintendo gives it the Link’s Awakening treatment and remakes it for the Switch
That would be sweet. I would actually get the remake this time!
@@InfiniteBits i had it as a kid, game broke, was sad, brother had an ambassador 3ds, nearly beat the game but could never beat the final boss.
So i have yet to beat it, would love a remake, but would prefer a more 2d art based game or not as cutesy as LA
Same.
Though, I hope they will give the soundtrack a full orchestral treatment instead of what they did with Link's Awakening. I'd love to hear Palace of Winds played by a live orchestra.
Excelent video as always. A few days ago I found your channel, and omg since then I’ve watched most of your videos and enjoyed every single one of them. I hope your channel will get the recognition it deserves as soon as possible, it’s noticeable the effort you put into it and I believe you deserve more. Keep it up and you’ll see how your channel will grow bigger and more people will enjoy this remarkable, well-made content you make :)
Thank you so much dude! That is great to hear!
Same man
Facts man, I was so happy when I first found this, I had so many hours of great content!
1000000% true
I absolutely love your videos man especially when you rank all the Zelda games! Please continue to rank games I love this content!!
This channel is so good and it is gon' be much bigger, once anyone gets a TASTE of this in the algorithm they will be hooked, because these videos are so well done and SO EVERGREEN it is easy to feel the need to watch all of them upon discovering the channel. I have enjoyed many. This man did not even MENTION hitting the bell and yet I'm considering it
Ahahaha! Thank you man! That is awesome to hear, glad you enjoyed
Yeah i really enjoy watching. The next ranking vid you should do, is ALL the zelda final bosses. But yeah, keep up the good work!
Dude, why are you not in a million subs yet? This channel deserves it! Heck, the editing, scripting, content and the overall production quality of these videos is the best. You're getting there man, those vids are gonna get you to an amazing place that you wouldn't realize. Thanks for the great content! You just earned another subscriber!
I'm surprised you don't have more subs. You definitely deserve more, these vids are really interesting. Keep it up man.
Thank you bro! No plans on stopping
Great video dude. Just found your channel today and I’ve been binge watching your content. Keep up the amazing work, you’ve gained a new sub!
Thats fantastic man, great to hear
Hell yeah! I've been waiting for this video for a long time!
That's awesome, thank you!
Hilarious video. All the jokes were super funny. Also, love the outro song and can't wait for the next ranking video.
Thanks as always bro, appreciate the comments
Thank you for praising Minish Cap. Truly a hidden gem. I have played all of the Zelda games and this game is still my favourite Zelda game of all time. The fact they were planning to add the Minish to Breath of the Wild gives me hope that one day the adorable lil fellas will return some day... as will Ezlo, the Minish Cap.
Amazing work as always ! Your videos are the only ones on this site that I do not regret wasting time watching ! You deserve way way much more subs than you have. May God bless your soul and give you a bright future! My favorite is A link between between worlds because it takes ALTTP as a base and upgrades it. My favorite 3d ones are Wind Waker and Twilight and Twilight Princess. Keep up the awesome work and stay always safe!
Thanks as always man! Great to hear!
This video made my day great! Thank you!
Thanks for the comment man
No Problem
Hey man, I just found your channel from the smash bros ranking video and I’ve really enjoyed watching all of your videos!! I could see this channel going super far, so keep up the great work!!
Hey thank you man! Glad that you enjoyed
Bro I found your video randomly while looking up Mario party videos and I haven't looked back. Your editing quality and film quality is crazy for your channel to be small. I guarantee your channel will blow up soon bro cause your scripting is great too
Thank you man! Well I'm glad that you found my channel!

I absolutely love Spirit Tracks. It’s my third favourite 2D Zelda and 5th favourite in total
Curious to know what r ur two favorite 3D games. I prefer all 6 3D btw over all 2d but u still love some top downs. My favorite game is twilight princess
Yeah Spirit tracks was a lot of fun
@@harikohli541 You're gonna be dissapointed with my answer cuz twilight princess is my least favourite. 1. Majora, 2. BotW, 3. Wind Waker, 4. OoT, 5. Skyward Sword, 6. twilight princess. I used to like the 3D games more but over time I've grown to prefer the tighter design of the 2d games.
@@InfiniteBits Best version of Zelda
@@maxg2335 that’s fair TP is a divisive Zelda game. Some people like me love the game and it’s art style but some can’t get around it and the tedious segments.
Minish cap is the best!! Also keep up the great work, really enjoy your videos!
Awesome video bro!
While I do prefer all 6 3D games more and think they are the best 6 games in the series, I’m dead serious I think they are all masterpieces. I still love me some top down. And finally another Minish cal fan. It was my favorite 2d Zelda game before LA got remade on switch. If MC gets a remake, I could honestly see it cracking my top 5 Zelda. U see dungones r my favorite aspect in Zelda and I think MC has the best 2d dungeons in the series simply cuz they be beefy and long.
Any way fantastic video bro I’m so happy to see branching off into new series
Thank you man and yes I loved Minish Cap. Yeah exactly that's the plan, I'm trying to branch into different franchises on my channel
I think most of the 3D zelda games had weaker puzzles and dungeons compared to the 2D games. Which really shouldn't be the case when they have an entirely other dimension to work with. Also the 3D games have notorious amounts of downtime whereas the 2D games put you straight into the action. I like both and if i rated them both together they would overlap but with the top consisting of more of the 2D games.
Hey, just wanted to remind you that the Oracle games (and Minish Cap as well) were developed by Capcom! Nice video again, next ranking will be a fun one. Though I already know the #1 spot so Imma go away to a resort.
Yes, exactly! Thank you dude, glad you enjoyed
Awesome video as always! I bought tri force heroes like 4 years ago and then my 3Ds broke... and I got links awakening on the switch a few months ago but I’ve been busy sadly
And OMG THE WII SERIES RANKED!!!!!
I am so thrilled that Minish cap is number one. When Nintendo released the gameboy expansions on the switch, Minish cap was the first one I started playing. I was instantly hit with the realization that I have been missing out on my now third favorite zelda game simply because of hardware accessibility issues. It has absolutely blown my mind and I never want to put it down
so glad ur channel is starting to grow
I love this vid. Your channel is so great man. Keep it up 😊
Thank you bro! Always appreciate the support!
@@InfiniteBits my pleasure my bro.
Personally my favorite is a link between worlds. It’s so much fun to 100% especially compared to the rest of the 2d zeldas. The oracle games are a nightmare to 100% cause rings and multiple play throughs and the fact that a heart piece is hidden behind every single figurine in minish cap is inexcusable and even if that wasn’t there we still have the kinstones making it still a pain to 100%. Also links awakening has some cryptic heart pieces. Comparatively the worst part of a link between worlds is that enemy gauntlet on death mountain. I do think all of these games are great, I just find the overworld exploration to easily be at its best in a link between worlds
For me It is
1. A link between worlds
2. A link to the past
3. A link's awakening
S tier
1. Link's Awakening
2. A Link to the Past
3. Oracle of Ages
A tier
4. A Link Between Worlds
5. Spirit Tracks
6. The Minish Cap
B tier
7. Oracle of Seasons
8. Tri Force Heroes
9. The Legend of Zelda
10. Four Swords
11. Zelda II
C tier
12. Four Swords Adventures
D tier
13. Phantom Hourglass
Good ranking as well
"The ocean temple is by no means good game design"
I respect your opinion but bruh it was so fun returning to that temple and using your new powers to get further into it. It allowed it to do things that a lot of other zelda temples don't do. It was a bit annoying but still did a lot of good things.
I don't really know, how I found this channel, since I'm German and usually get German videos recommended, but damn I will stay and watch everything
That is awesome man, glad you still enjoyed! Guten tag!
Another fantastic video from a underrated channel. I am super excited for the wii series rankings, I hope Wii music is last and wii sports resort is number one. Also, will wii party and wii party u be counted on the list, both underrated titles on the wii and wii u consoles. Also, what about Nintendo land on wii u be counted. You do play as mii in the whole game, so I think it should count. As Always, I hope you will have over a billion( not sure about that) subs and the wii series will be a free collection on Nintendo switch
Thank you as always bro, appreciate all the responses.
Great upload as always homie 🥳🥳
Thanks dawg, always appreciate the comments!
@@InfiniteBits no problem man! Always happy to show my support

12. *Triforce Heroes*
11. *Four Swords Adventures*
10. *The Legend of Zelda*

Overall a really solid lineup of games, though I will say I'm a guy who generally prefers the 3D Zeldas.
underrated, great vid
I'm 15 years old and honestly I love zelda 2. I don't care if it's difficult and different. For me it's amazing.
Fair enough, to each their own!
I also like zelda 2 ngl
Great video as always, thank you. Also two questions: do you have a Patreon? And what applications do you use to edit ur vids?
Thank you man! Right now I don't have Patreon but I'm considering getting it if my channel gets big enough. And I use After Effects and Premiere to edit the vids
Would the link's awakening remake for the switch make the game higher in your rank since it fixed a lot of things from the original?
YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO NICE !!!!
Hell yeah, i was waiting for minish cap to pop up and for a moment i thought ive missed it. It is my favorite 2d zelda, ever was. I just cannot stop playing. From time to time i come back to it and oh boy it is a thing isnt it?
10:00 this game with other games that work in the same style were hell to play on pc emulator. But years later when I tried it on my galaxy note it was PERFECT! I very much doubt I would enjoy it as much on the DS if I had it as kid.
These are pretty well made videos about a very popular video game franchise. Only 13,000 views?
I think the same .The minish cap was the first and only zelda game I ever played and was later unable to find any equally good 2d alternative game
I was pleasantly surprised to see you put Minish Cap over Link to the Past; I completely agree! It’s such a fun, creative and cute little game, and easily one of the best-looking games on the GBA!
I agree!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
@@InfiniteBits By the way, I have some ideas for vids!
Ranking Every Mario Sports Game (they types of sports can be separate or all in 1 vid)
Ranking Every 2D Sonic Game
Ranking Every Mario and Sonic at the Olympics Game
Long Ones:
Ranking Every Mario Party Minigame other than top 100
Ranking Every Mario Kart Nitro or Retro Track
Hope one of these gets in the next video!
Great video love the Zelda franchise! Where are you from? I liked the landscapes shown. Greetings from Mexico! :D
Thank you dude! And I'm out in Canada eh
@@InfiniteBits Im Latvian! (From Europe Next to russia)
Great video. I was just wondering if the links awakening remake was in the same place as links awakening as I would probably put it their. Replaying minish cap as I type this lmao
Your Channel is a Hidden Gem!
You Should Rank every Wario Game
Awesome to hear bro, thank you!
so after recently replaying the minish cap i realized a few significant issues i found with the game: it has among the most disorganized and time wasted collectathons which does not help by the fact that the figurines lock a heart piece behind it, the mirror shield is useless because it is a post game item, the light arrows are potentially missable, and kinstones do not have any means to keep track of whom you fused with and when you can.
the copy mechanic has a few decent puzzles but one potential problem is how you are forced to use the exact number during each upgrade. shrinking is a good mechanic but outside of castle town and some side quests it is mostly restricted either to a small space or a linear path. like every capcom game, i-frames are almost non-existent during combat and the burn mechanic introduced in four swords is way too punishing. the game also teases you a lot when it comes to exploration where you cannot complete main quest events in advance.
now what i did like were some of the dungeons. deepwood is one of the best level 1 dungeons, fortress of winds is a nice callback to dungeon design LA, and dark hyrule castle is a full dungeon which many titles lacked. remote bombs were also a nice item and this game probably has the best castle town.
I would swap ALBW and Minish Cap because Minish Cap has a much smaller world with fewer dungeons. Also it had a huge difficulty spike in the last two dungeons compared to the rest of the game. ALBW also has more replay ability because you can do the dungeons in any order you want and a master quest mode that is unlocked after your first playthrough. Minish Cap does have unique items and enemies for the series so i can't fault it for being number 1 either.
Hey, I love your videos and I was surprised when I saw you only have 4k subs. I'm a small CZcamsr too! and I would like to know how you make your number transition graphics.
Hey, thank you man, great to hear. I made them using Maya for the 3D waves, Photoshop for the bg and After effects
@@InfiniteBits Thanks for your help :)
Seeing you put Minish Cap as number 1 fills me with happiness. Minish Cap is not only my favorite 2D Zelda, but my favorite Zelda in general! I hope to see more and I know I am incredibly late but I hope you also comment ^^
I would honestly put the original The Legend of Zelda at number 11. Other than that, great job! Your content is awesome!
My favorite part during this video is when he said I'm on to you kid.
Just a question, what are your thoughts on the switch remake of links awakening?
Neat list!
Thanks bro
I honestly didn’t like the minish cap all that much but I’ve only played 10 Zelda games so far so maybe I still have some stuff to learn
Nice!!
MINISH CAP = LOVE
Personally I think I'd put Zelda 2 and the OG first Zelda at the very bottom, while the multiplayer Zelda's aren't great, they're at least playable. I feel like in the first 2 games they're basically impossible to beat without a guide, or at least access any extra fun content.
can you clarify a bit? with the WII series, do you mean the WII U games too?
Haven't fully decided yet. But probably every game with the title "Wii" in it
More love for Zelda II, it's not perfect and downright impossible at times but it deserves more than it gets. Plus the dungeon music is top tier.
Me, a Between Worlds fan watching this vid: "We were on the verge of greatness, we were *this* close."
15:30 Wait, you talk about Benni and Ricky but not about Dimitri? (Albeit he is technically the most unique as he is a Dodongo?) That's certainly... a choice.
But I like that you didn't talk about how the choice of your Main Buddy affects the Topography. Because I know nobody who found that out themselves. So I like that you didn't praise a feature you likely never knew existed.

I've been meaning to play Minish Cap. It's the only 2D Zelda besides Four Swords Adventures that I haven't played yet
The Minish Cap as top dog? HYPE HYPE HYPE
You missed Four Swords on the Gba. It was with the gba version of A Link to the Past.
What do you think about the remake for links awakening? I really enjoyed it besides the dungeon builder part
Lol never played it, only the original
Link's uncle doesn't die, he's recovered at the end of lttp
I went into this video fully expecting Minish Cap to be on the lower end of the list. Yeah I was pleasantly surprised.
1:24 before ytb was you in the canada hockey team 😂
Love the intro
It's sad that you get so few views and yet make very good content
Coming off the high of Twilight Princess, I was excited to play Minish Cap because it looked like a 2D Zelda that would mirror that game for me. I didn’t care that the game was super short or that it only had 6 dungeons, because I had heard that the dungeons of MC were the best of the 2D games, which is EXACTLY what I was looking for since ALttP’s dungeons were... well they didn’t leave the best impression on me. Neither did that game in general lol. I also thought the art style was very charming and graphically superior to most of the other 2D Zelda games, an opinion I still generally hold, and it seemed like the combat that I loved so much from TP would have an equivalent here thanks to the optional sword techniques. Sadly, when I finally played the game, there were a few things that killed it for me. For one, the dungeons WERE pretty good. But they still lacked a great atmosphere or inventive puzzle design like the 3D games, which disappointed me quite a bit. For another thing, the combat of Minish Cap ended up suffering from the same issues as TP in that it couldn’t be used to its full potential due to the techniques being optional. And it suffers MORE from this issue because A. The moves Link uses are very stagnant and require a good amount of commitment, if that makes sense and B. Some of the techniques link learns are LITERALLY THE MOST BASIC TECHNIQUES IN ZELDA HISTORY.
Next, another much bigger issue I had with MC was the kinstones. I’m perfectly fine with the weird metroidvania style progression seen in the old Zelda games, but the kinstones basically dissuaded me from exploring the world at all because I knew I’d be missing out on something without using the kinstones and it takes too much time to go around fusing kinstones with people and it’s randomized for some of them and it just ruined the exploration of the game for me. Just put random stuff in the world and let me go find it, that’s all I ask. I get that they’re trying to get a lot out of a little by adding more stuff into a smaller world, but the game was already super short so just let me explore the tiny world. And the final nail in the coffin (an extremely subjective nail, mind you) was the ost. The soundfont of this game made me want to stick my ears in a wood chipper. It’s disappointing too, because I did like a lot of the things that MC had going for it. Shrinking is one of the most interesting dual-world mechanics in the series, the art style is gorgeous, the game was short and sweet, the items you acquire are really memorable and interesting like the gust jar, the cane of pacci and the roc’s cape, it’s not bad by any means. It’s still better than Skyward Sword lol. But sadly those things just ruined my time with the game. So I’d give it a 7/10.
Finally a good ranking! Minish Cap is too overlooked and more people should cHeck it out, really have to agree. Although I am not sure if I agree with 2nd and 3rd place… ALBW did many things better but am I the only one who didn’t like that you can buy all items?! To me it took away the magic of discovering something cool and new in a dungeon,…but the wall merge was great. Just ALTTP has better graphics l- more dark and serious which I liked more. I wish they make a really phenomenal new 2D Zelda game soon. Great video!
Agreed...ALttp is still the best zelda. Finding the items is what makes the game so much fun. I dont think agree that minish is better. Its good but not Alttp good...
are you gonna do ranking the 2d and 3d kirby games after the wii games series or never?
mayyyyyybe
Finally someone who gets minish cap right

I used to play Zelda on some gadget Idk what it is either Nintendo or a PsP, but it's like Pokemon but very detailed with actually decent graphics. I forgot the name and the name of that game isn't anywhere on the videos I kept watching. I'm kinda sad that I can't find it lol
What are your thoughts on the Link’s Awakening remake?
I never got into triforce heroes itbh... but links awakening dx for the switch was so fun. Should have been called Link's REawakening.... missed opportunity.

Minish Cap dominates all the 2D games except the link to the past and a link between worlds IMO.
I hope for a Zelda direct in a month or so. I'm hyped for skyward sword hd and ready to dive into it once more. I hope some 2 d remakes come to the switch. Oracles are believed as one after links awakening style. Would love if 1 and 2 are remakes. Zelda 1 is like botw in ways. A 3d remake would blow with a botw engine. Will take anything!
I agree with everything. But there’s no way Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are below the Oracle games.
Phantom Hourglass is so underrated, I personally put it #3 of all 2D Zeldas only behind LA and ALBW. ST however is dead last for me.
I am so excited to say that I recently got an AUTHENTIC AMERICAN CARTRIDGE OF THIS GAME FOR FREE!!
My friend didn't know what she had and just gave it to me along with other interesting games.
Aside from the graphics I don't think the original game has aged that badly. Except for blue darknut rooms! I still have nightmares about those
Ngl, I clicked this expecting to be upset that Minish Cap was getting disrespected, so I checked the entire video through the preview only to find Minish Cap is at #1... Whoops! I'll watch the full video now, promise!
Zelda 2’s music is perfect
You forgot that in four swords adventure, you need 3 friends, which I don't have
2023 and A Link to the Past still looks clean as hell
I loved the Temple of the Ocean King to be honest
15:24 My favourite’s Dimitri the Dodongo. 😄
15:42 Speaking of… 😆
I hope more people find your channel
Thank you dude, great to hear
Coincidentally my first 2 Zelda games were the link between worlds and minish cap
Could you do every monster hunter game ranked?
