 The quotability and hilarity of those cutscenes are endless. And I thought I'd just say Majora is one of the creepiest bosses ever.  The only boss that gives me a creepier feeling is Giygas off of Earthbound.

Well, I have "only" played 5 of them and easily A Link to The Past is THE game. It's smart, friendly, interesting and great... The Ocarine of Time is another of those brilliant games... both worth the playing... I think none of the humans should live their life without at least giving it a try... both are wonderful games.
I voted for ALTTP because it brings me a lot of good ol' memories...

Apparently so. It's actually my third favorite after ALTTP and OOT, and the best game for the Wii in my opinion. Personally, I'd rank the series like this:
1. A Link to the Past (5 Stars)
2. Ocarina of Time (5 Stars)
3. Twilight Princess (5 Stars)
4. The Wind Waker (4 Stars. Could've been 5 if it weren't for the sailing.)
5. Spirit Tracks (4 Stars)
6. Majora's Mask (4 Stars)
7. Phantom Hourglass (4 Stars)
8. The Legend of Zelda (4 Stars)
9. Adventure of Link (3 Stars)

I was giving this thread half a page or so until it descended into a CD-I game quote-fest.
You didn't disappoint.

Wind Waker for its beautiful cel shaded graphics and for the hours of fun I had exploring the many islands and searching for treasure.

Time to revive a 4 month old topic! But only because it is so dear to my heart...
I'm a huge Zelda fan, and I'm gonna go with Majora's Mask as my favorite. It's not the most popular, and I feel it gets overlooked because of the "play the same three days over and over" aspect. But the two main elements of it's greatness are the character development and the surrealist art direction. In fact, those aspects are done so well that I would consider Majora's Mask to be one of the main arguments for "video games as art". The terror of the townsfolk in Clock Town, healing the souls of the three mask spirits, the Kafei and Anju romance story... It's captivating and genuinely moving. And surprisingly in-depth.

Yes!! Completely agreed. The whole end of Majora's Mask, with the four kids running around the tree... Awesomely weird. But yes, Giygas takes the cake. "I....FEEL....GOOD...." Craziest boss battle ever.

The first Zelda is great. It contains one of my favorite lines of dialogue...
"IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYONE."

I say that all the time. Also, don't forget "Buy Somethin' Will Ya" and "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this."

My vote goes to OOT - it was the first Zelda I played through completely (I played the NES original when I was 8 on a friends NES but never got far. I've tried playing it since - never get far now either xD). I have quite enjoyed a lot of the others - I've been playing MM for about a year now (no joke, sometimes i go months between a gaming session these days  ) and I think it's just about as good. I actually love the way that they did the three days system and have been, in my head, trying to come up with a finite-time game design ever since the first time I played the game that would be fun without being frustrating. If you could save anytime like you could in OOT, it'd be a lot better though. Twilight Princess is also great fun. I've played most of the GB ones, beaten none of them but liked them all. I almost beat LTTP but I'm just not as good at the 2D ones as I am at the 3D ones it seems, I couldn't get past the last temple and just forgot about it after a while.

Majora's Mask, followed by OoT, then Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. They're all stunningly great games, but the whole surreality of Majora's Mask plus the novelty of the whole time traveling thing, and how the game in the later days changes with what you do in the earlier days gives it a slight edge as my favorite over Ocarina. (sorry for the massive run-on). I also enjoy that it's the one of the only games in the main series to go in a totally different direction than "Ganon kidnapped the princess."
But again, I love 'em all. Good poll!  |

Link to the Past! Followed by Links Awakening. There's just something magical about old school nintendo games.

Ocarina,simply one of the best games of all time.A Link to the Past is a close second though.I recently bought and downloaded it from the Wii store and have been playing it on the Wii.It's been really fun reliving that wonderful game again after so long.

Of course! The poor Japanese to English translation is just another treat for you when you go back and play in your late teens/ early 20's

And you don't even miss that aspect of it because it's been done so much. (No disrespect to the other games.)
