Top Five Favorite Zelda Games?

[Buns34]

I am curious to know what everyone's top five favorite Zelda games are? Here are mine:

1. The Legend Of Zelda
2. The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker
3. The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past
4. The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
5. The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Amazing, but where are the Wizrobes?)

And i have only finally just started to get into Majoras Mask. I bought it back in 2000 on release day, and i have it on the collectors disk. But for some reason i immediately shunned it, and refused to like it because of the time system. I did not like the fact that a Zelda game was rushing me from exploring everything during my adventure. But now i realize that is not the case. And i love the fact that it has the original overworld theme. The soundtrack is probably my favorite in the whole series, along with Wind Waker.

Also, so far i am enjoying the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess more than the Wii version. I think i just prefer the classic Zelda control setup. The only thing that i liked better on the Wii is fishing, and although aiming and shooting is awesome, and probably better on the Wii, i still prefer the analog aiming. The maps being non mirrored has screwed me up a few times, and i miss the widescreen picture. But having the free camera from Wind Waker more than makes up for it. And the graphics are exactly the same using the componet cables with 480 progresive scan turned on. I have the older Gamecube that uses the componet cables, and for those of you that do not know, you have to hold down the B button every time while booting up the game to enable the option for progresive scan. But if you are playing it on your Wii with componet cables and progresive scan turned on, then im sure it looks the same. I have not tried it on the Wii yet. I am playing through this version when my wife is gone, but when she is home, she likes watching me play the Wii version in the living room. Zelda is awesome! By the way i really want another Zelda like Wind Waker using the same cel shaded graphics engine to come out on the Wii. I am excited about Phantom Hourglass, but i want a console version!

1. Zelda: LttP
2. Zelda: WW
3. Zelda
4. Zelda 2

Gonna stop there. I hate the N64 ones, I haven't played the handheld ones, and I've only just started TP

[GetImOliver]

1) Zelda: LttP
2) Zelda: Link's Awakening
3) Zelda: Majora's Mask
4) Zelda: OoT

The n64 Zeldas might as well be a tie for me. I liked Links Awakening more than I should have, just because of that spress-select-warp thing you could do ^^

[Synergy]

Hmm...

#1: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (That's right, #1!)
#2: The Legend of Zelda
#3: Link's Awakening/Zelda DX
#4: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
#5: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

I never really got into the other ones, honestly. I'd still like to play through them sometime.

I am a huge Zelda fan so here is my top 7 (sorry couldn't stop at 5, I love them all):

1) The Legend of Zelda
2) The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (almost done the game, but can already tell you its my 2nd fav)
3) The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
4) The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
5) The Legend of Zelda: Adventures of Link (Zelda 2)
6) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
7) The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap (great game, but short)

BTW, Majora's Mask is the only Zelda game that I have never finished and that is my task after I finish TP.

[theshizzle3000]

1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

[NE146]

I suck with the names so I'll name them the way I know them.

SNES Zelda
original GB/GBC Zelda (or Zelda DX)
NES Zelda 2 (I'd actually play this over NES Zelda at the moment)
Majoras Mask
N64 Zelda

...is the top 5 right now. Although Wii Zelda will probably sneak in there eventually. And nope, I dont have the original Zelda in the top 5. I simply think it hasnt aged well, and to be quite honest even though I've finished the game dozens of times over my life, the last few times I played it, it was tedious.

..incidentally, Oracle of Ages/Seasons hits the way bottom. They're just too linear :P

[Kamisama]

1. Links Awakening
2. A Link to the Past
3. Twilight Princess as It looked really cool.Tryed it only for a short time though.

end

[The Great Dane]

My top favorite changed last month:
1. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
2. Zelda 2: Link's Adventure
3. Legend of Zelda
4. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
5. Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
6. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

I haven't ever played Majora's Mask, the odd spinoffs that are said to be terrible, or any of the handheld, so I obviously can't include them.

[drewbrim]

1. Link to the Past
2. Ocarina of Time
3. The Adventures of Link
4. The Legend of Zelda
5. Link's Awakening

with the honorable mention going to Minish Cap

[Three-P]

For me, it'd have to be....

#5-The Adventure of Link. (Didn't quite have the same feel as the O.G., but still fun, nonetheless.)
#4-The Legend of Zelda. (Kickin' it old-school.)
#3-Ocarina of Time. (The transaction to 3-D didn't disappoint.)
#2-Majora's Mask. (Crazy-as-hell, and no shortage of surprises.)
#1-A Link to the Past. (My first SNES game. I feel bad about selling it.)

My list is pretty simple.

1. The Legend of Zelda
2. The Adventure of Link
3. Link to the Past
4. Ocarina of Time
5. Majora's Mask

[mobiusclimber]

I hated OoT and TP, haven't played Wind Waker or MM or Minish Cap (or the DS game, but have no interest in playing it), and only played a little bit of one of the Oracle games (up to the first boss who repeatedly gave me an atomic wedgie before I finally cried "uncle" and gave up). So here's my list... so very abbreviated...

1) A Link to the Past
2) Zelda I
3) Link's Awakening

Oh yeah, I've tried a few times to get into Zelda II, but I just get bored and give up. Am I forgetting any games?

[MeTmKnice]

Link to the Past
Zelda 1
OoT
Minish Cap
