Metroid Guía y cronología
Samus Aran is usually alone when a mission takes her into an unfamiliar world. Finding a route through its ruins means learning the terrain, recovering abilities and discovering what has been left there. Metroid's main adventures and first-person Prime games share that patient exploration, with original and remade editions revisiting some missions.

Metroid: Choose How to Step Into Samus' World
For the early main story, begin Zero Mission, then Samus Returns and Super Metroid. For first-person exploration, begin Metroid Prime or Prime Remastered. Choose one presentation of a remade mission rather than requiring both.

The Main Samus Saga includes Other M as well as side-scrolling games. Its title describes a story route, rather than an exclusively side-scrolling selection.
Overview & recommendation
Metroid's sense of discovery begins with being alone somewhere you do not understand. Learning a world's routes and recovering abilities is part of the story, whether you see it from the side or through Samus' visor.
The first practical choice is that perspective. You can follow the main mission history or enter through Prime, without treating the other format as an entrance requirement.
Choose Zero Mission for a revised introduction to Samus' first mission. Continue through Samus Returns and Super Metroid for the earlier core sequence, then follow the later main stories. For Prime, choose the original or Remastered before its numbered sequels; side adventures can be explored for their different focus.
Samus' Main Missions and the Prime Branch Connected adventures with legacy versions preserved separately
Legacy Versions holds the original tellings later revisited by Zero Mission and Samus Returns. Prime explores another portion of Samus' career, not a different Samus solely because the viewpoint changes.

Remade Missions Still Belong to Their Earlier Story 15 entries
The original and revised early missions can cover the same events. The Prime branch is placed around Samus' earlier career; its separate presentations do not add repeated missions between the later main adventures.
