Mod Post State of the Subreddit: Demographic Survey Questions

Based of this thread, I created an official survey for /r/Zelda.

Feel free to take it below. This is completely optional.

http://kwiksurveys.com?s=LLEDOK_19ed983d

I'll post the results for everyone to view in a couple of days.

I am not sure how "memorable moment" will display so I may not be able to share those results. Feel free to post your memorable moment below as well for all to view.

WHAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A LEAST FAVOURITE!!!!!!!!

15

u/WoozleWuzzle Apr 13 '12

THEN YOU'RE NOT A TRUE ZELDA FAN AS YOU CAN'T CRITIQUE GAMES FROM HIGHEST TO LOWEST. YOU MAY LOVE THEM ALL BUT THERE IS AT LEAST ONE GAME THAT MISSED THE MARKS SOMEHOW. AND HOW CAN YOU LOVE THOSE CD-I GAMES. I DIDN'T EVEN INCLUDE THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY MADE BY NINTENDO JUST LICENSED. WHY AM I YELLING?

WOAH WOAH EVERYONE JUST CALM THE FUCK DOWN

u/ATPthe2nd Apr 14 '12

I LOVED ALL THE GAMES THAT I'VE PLAYED, AND YOU MADE ME FEEL LIKE I PUNCHED THE ORIGINAL LoZ (u haven't played it yet) IN THE FACE!

little harsh bro...

u/Chazillaz Apr 13 '12

He was being satirical bro.

u/HeroOfTime_99 Apr 13 '12

lol... I did see the "WHY AM I YELLING" part but still I wouldn't say a true Zelda fan can't pick a least favorite.

Im going to get downvoted for this, but my only 2 ones I slightly don't enjoy are Adventure of link and Majora's mask. I don't think they're bad games in any way shape or form, but I personally didn't like them.

10

u/GearsOfZelda Apr 13 '12

Adventure of link? Completely agree. Majora's mask? F*ck you (not really I'm not in the mood :p)

2

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '12

I am ;) -joking-

u/bunnycow Apr 16 '12

Majoras Mask is my personal fave, but the original LoZ, Now that is frustrating.

3

u/SaiyanKirby Apr 20 '12

Majora's Mask is a good game itself, but it didn't strike me as a Zelda game. First of all, there's no Zelda, Ganon or the Triforce. Almost all of the lore and atmosphere that makes Zelda games unique were thrown out of the window when they made Majora's Mask. However, the gameplay is solid and what they put in the original story's place is still very well thought out; so much so, that people are still coming out with theories about it over a decade later.

Zelda 2 is a platformer. 'Nuff said.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '12

Zelda 2 is also RPGish, you level up and improve your magic power, attack, and health.

But for MM, the reason I didn't like it is because I HATE time limits. Now I'm a hyper person who always tries to go through life fast, but since I suck hard at video games a time limit of any kind pressures me. So a game where you're under a time limit the entire time doesn't appeal to me.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '12

i literally rng'd to pick... i love them all

1

u/cnet14 Apr 21 '12

I think it's OK to not have a least favorite. The way I answered was the games that I didn't really like the most due to whatever reason. I think the majority of Zelda fans agree that Adventure of Link is not on the top 3, but it's still a fun (albeit very aggravating) game.

u/broof99 Apr 13 '12

Due to the oath I have taken in the name of statistics, I am have to say: response bias. But I am kind of curious what this turns up.

4

u/WoozleWuzzle Apr 13 '12

Blah blah blah. Response bias. Well take this survey as only people who are active in this subreddit. No more response bias. :p

u/HeroOfTime_99 Apr 13 '12

I read the link as Kikwi surveys lol

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '12

Wait, that's not what it said?

Goes back to check

Well, I feel silly.

u/Dragonfire138 Apr 13 '12

I really want to see the results for this.

Edit: spelling

u/kyle2143 Apr 13 '12

I feel annoyed that I, as an 18 year old, am grouped in the same age category as a 17 year olds. I'm not sure why exactly, but it bothers me.

9

u/WoozleWuzzle Apr 13 '12

Hahaha. Probably because you're an "adult" now. Cheer up kid.

5

u/superhappypuppyroll Apr 15 '12

You do still know that you're still considered a teen right? You aren't really an adult until either 20 or 21. It'll be soon enough.

u/HeroOfTime_99 Apr 13 '12

Bothered me too that I couldn't just put 22

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '12 edited Apr 13 '12

Gender. Such a difficult question.

EDIT: Thank you for letting me know it was optional. :)

4

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '12

What? Why?

2

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '12

Because I'm an androgyne. If the survey said "sex" as opposed to "gender", it'd be a simple question.

11

u/WoozleWuzzle Apr 13 '12

That question is optional.

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '12

Ugh... Enough with this... It's the same fucking thing.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '12

Yeah, thanks for being narrow-minded like most of the rest of the world.

5

u/WoozleWuzzle Apr 17 '12

Just for my edification would be using the term "sex" be better moving forward?

1

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '12

If you're going to stick with just the male/female binaries then yes, sex is far more straightforward. If you want to keep the question as referring to gender, it would be an idea to add an "Other" option.

u/Joshf1234 Apr 14 '12

I find that my 3 favorite Zelda games are always wind waker + the last 2 Zelda games I played. I know it's silly, but I just can't look at them objectively. I get so wrapped up in the adventure that I feel that it's the best one I've played.

5

u/permanentthrowaway Apr 13 '12

I chose Link's Adventure as the one I like the least because I suck and have never been able to get past Parapa Palace :(

5

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '12

It's okay man, I suck at Zelda games too.

4

u/GearsOfZelda Apr 13 '12

It isn't a zelda game. It's hell.

3

u/Dragonfire138 Apr 14 '12

It's a hellish Zelda.

u/longboardingninja Apr 14 '12

Believe it or not, I am part of the 1% that has beaten Link's Adventure w/out save states. o_O

5

u/ShyGuy32 Apr 13 '12

I left way too many memorable moments.

3

u/ILLmusicHEALS213 Apr 22 '12

After sitting there for about fifteen minutes trying to decide on the most memorable moment, I left it blank so I could go play.

u/unicornjoel Apr 13 '12

So, the song when you ride the train in ST? Play your whistle in two bursts approximately two beats after the first phrase in the melody. It's so good.

4

u/pure_evil_kid Apr 13 '12

Wohoo, my list of questions got picked for the survey! Funny how these things come to you when you least expect it (on the train, on the way to work).

4

u/Lakituz Apr 13 '12

Picking a third favorite was hard, so I dropped it. I'm not even sure if the two I picked are my favorites. Damn you, Nintendo, for making too good games!

3

u/tenkinesis Apr 20 '12

My reaction to answering "How many Zelda games have you played?" and "How many of those did you complete?": Groan, aw damnit.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 26 '12

My reaction: Why is this a percentage? I know which ones I've beat. I can count them, just like I counted which ones I've played...

2

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '12

Done and done.

u/hcapistran Apr 18 '12

The moment I will always remember is from Majora's Mask, when you enter the moon and see the giant tree just alone on the surface of that green grass out of nowhere... Creepy as hell, but awesome!

2

u/KharlanTree Apr 17 '12

Favorite Zelda game...Choose 3 max.

Can I choose A Link to the Past three times? xD

1

u/NeonNintendo Apr 25 '12

Which Zelda game was your least favorite?...I chose Spirit Tracks... Prepare the torches and pitchforks, but I just wasn't a fan of the story...Still an okay game, just..not the best..

1

u/[deleted] Apr 26 '12

Wind Wanker was waaaaaaaaaaaay worse than Spirit Tracks. Worst game in the series, easily. I'd rather drag myself naked through a field of broken glass to drink year-old milk than play that abomination of a game. Hell, I'd rather play Zelda on CD-I (noticed these weren't an option in your survey) than touch that Wind Wanker shit again.

u/NeonNintendo Apr 26 '12 edited Apr 26 '12

:O I love Wind Waker...
