Which Zelda Era Are You?

10 questions · easy · Personality quiz · The Legend of Zelda

Thirty-eight years of Hyrule, sorted into seven temperaments. This is not a trivia quiz and there are no wrong answers in it anywhere: ten situations, answered honestly, matched against the eras of the series itself, from three hearts and no map to a kingdom with no fences. Every era of Zelda plays differently because every era believes something different about what an adventure is. One of those beliefs is yours. It has probably been yours since the first one you played.

Possible results

  • The NES Era: The Open-Field Original (1986-1987) You were handed a sword, three hearts and no map, and you call that a good day. Self-reliant to the bone, you would rather push on every wall in the room than ask which one is…

  • The Wii and DS Era: The Motion Pioneer (2006-2011) You invite everybody in and then quietly raise the ceiling. Your genius is access: you take something intimidating and hand it to a roomful of beginners without sanding off any of…
  • The 3DS and Wii U Era: The Refiner (2011-2016) You take classics apart with a jeweler's loupe and put them back together better: friction removed, orientation restored, every rough edge filed down with love.
  • The Switch Era: The Open-World Wanderer (2017-2024) Given a map, you ignore the marker. Your whole philosophy is that any surface can be climbed, any system can be combined with any other, and the correct route is the one you…
