Another series aside from Zelda that happens to be in my top five series is Castlevania. I always loved the atmosphere of the series, as well as the uniqueness of having a WHIP of all things being your main weapon. I love how every game in the series has a ''pick up and play'' feel. The soundtrack is banging, too.
For reference, here's the official timeline:
1094-Lament of Innocence
1476-III: Dracula's Curse
1479-Curse of Darkness
1576-The Adventure
1591-Belmont's Revenge
1691-I
1698-II: Simon's Quest
1748-Harmony of Dissonance
1792-Rondo of Blood
1797-Symphony of Night
18??-Order of Ecclesia
1897-Dracula
1917-Bloodlines
1944-Portrait of Ruin
1999-Demon Castle War
2035-Aria of Sorrow
2036-Dawn of Sorrow
Legends, Circle of the Moon, the N64 games, Super Castlevania IV, Chronicles, Haunted Castle, Vampire Killer(MSX), Dracula X(SNES), and The Adventure Rebirth are not canon. Legends was meant to be the canonical beginning of the series, but was changed in development, and the N64 titles and CotM were always intended to be alternate universe games according to Igarashi. All the other games are retellings, and IGA has confirmed that the original tellings of each game is canon(CV1, Rondo of Blood, and The Adventure respectively). The Adventure Rebirth is especially problematic, as the plot of Belmont's Revenge hinges on Dracula surviving the events of The Adventure and biding his time, using Christopher's son to restore his full power. However, Dracula doesn't survive in Rebirth, meaning that the events of Belmont's Revenge is impossible in that timeline.
