Starting Zelda should NOT be this hard - Midas :D
Have you ever wanted to jump into a massive Nintendo franchise, but felt completely overwhelmed by where to begin? You are definitely not alone. It is super easy to pick up the wrong title and bounce off a series completely. Today, I want to sit down and help you find the absolute best starting point for every major Nintendo series, so you can skip the frustration and get straight to the good stuff.
Instead of just telling you to play the newest release, we are looking at the mechanics, the stories, and the accessibility of each franchise. For Super Mario, we are going to look at why skipping the GameCube and jumping right into the Wii era is actually the perfect introduction to 3D platforming. When it comes to The Legend of Zelda, we will break down which adventure eases you into the puzzle-solving without leaving you lost and confused in Hyrule. We are also diving into Pokémon, figuring out which specific region has the best balance of catching, battling, and exploring for total newcomers.
From the chaotic multiplayer fun of Super Smash Bros to the platforming perfection of Donkey Kong Country, I am laying out my personal recommendations for exactly which game you should boot up first. Whether you have a Switch, a Wii, or just love retro gaming, there is a perfect entry point waiting for you. Let's find out which game you should play next!
Whether you are a complete beginner trying to figure out the timeline of The Legend of Zelda, or a casual player looking to finally understand the competitive mechanics of Super Smash Bros, this guide has everything you need to start your next great adventure.
