My favorite Zelda games are Twilight Princess, A Link to the Past, Minish Cap, Ocarina of Time (Original and Remake), Link's Awakening, Oracle of Seasons and Ages, and Wind Waker.

The only ones that would be my least favorite is the Four Swords and DS Zelda games.

I'd have to say that the original The Legend of Zelda is my favorite, followed by A Link to the Past and then Ocarina of Time. I also love Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and Majoras Mask.
Not a huge fan of the cat eye/cartoonish games but it's hard to NOT like Wind Waker, it's a beautiful game.

Everyone hates on the Adventure of Link, but I love it...I think it is completely underrated.

Here's my list as of 1/30/15: MM > ALTTP > OOT > TWW > LA > ALBW > LOZ > SS > OOA > TMC > OOS > TP > ST > FSA > PH > AOL > FS

I know I keep flip-flopping. It's part of my open-minded, but indecisive nature. I tried to be as fair and objective as possible, but in the end, a lot of it is about how much fun I had. It's hard to rank them because they're all so different and each have their merits.

A few changes I could see myself making.
  • MM as top 3 material, but not the definitive #1. Hipster status unconfirmed, lol.
  • LA is being lowered.
  • LOZ is being lowered.
  • TP raising a little bit.
  • ST is lowering.

Fave is... The Wind Waker! What a beautiful game! Excellent story, great characters, wonderfully fun dungeons. Oh sweet Nayru, THE MUSIC. Everything is just so darn perf that I get the itch to replay just thinking about it.

Least favorite is Twilight Princess. Or was Twilight Princess. I feel like the story was written *so incredibly bad*. It had the most potential, I think, but gosh... So much was just awful, awful. And the WOLF. Please never again.

But then Skyward Sword came out. I love SS's beautiful style/world/designs, but the gameplay was so boring and *too* linear. I was enthralled with trying to save Zelda, but I eventually became irritated with constantly being one step behind.

Story-wise, I liked it okay. Tons of problems, but the chars were just too loveable. But as much as TP got on my nerves, I think I may like it a bit more than SS.

My all time favorite Zelda game will always be Majora's Mask. The whole feel of it, the plot, the graphics, the controls, everything about it is just wonderful. And OOT and SS are up there in the list with MM too. I'd have to agree with you on the fact that ALBW is definitely one of my least favorite Zelda games. I never really just picked it up. It wasn't fun or enjoyable for me. I'm also not a fan of Spirit Tracks, Phantom Hourglass, or the originals, sadly. And I also do NOT like Twilight Princess in the least. The companion is annoying, the wolf-feature is annoying, the graphics are annoying, and the story, quite frankly, isn't good.

Other than the ones at the top, the rest is inter-changing since some are only better just a bit.

1. ALttP
2. ALBW
3. ST

4. MC
5. OoS
6. TP
7. OoA
8. LoZ
9. OoT

10. FSA
12. PH
13. LA
14. MM
15. FS
AoL, WW, SS - haven't played.

MM being that low is probably a very unpopular choice, but I can't see the appeal behind it, even after playing it twice, beating it once without all 20 masks and one with all 20 masks.

I'm glad I'm not the only who thought this. The story had so much potential, but the execution just left so much to be desired. D: I also disliked the closed-off world. I had no love for Ilia or the other TP characters besides Midna, and I even had a hard time connecting with Link. And every time I went fishing, there was like one fish in the lake. That last one was a minor complaint, but it was still something I was disappointed in.

It was probably a bad idea on my part to have played Okami before TP. TP's gameplay, particularly the wolf gameplay, felt sloppy after Okami. And the motion controls in TP made me angry.

My favorite Zelda is MM/OoT. I liked MM better than OoT, but I couldn't have liked it as much as I did without playing OoT first.

Other favorites include WW (so pretty and the combat engine was the best!), ALttP, LA, and the Oracle series. I've yet to finish ALbW, but I love that one so far.

My favourite Zelda is OoT, with MM in a very close second. Basically, the only gripe I have with MM is the saving system. If MM's saving system was better, then I would like it more than OoT since MM's game world is deeper and more immersive than OoT's. I'm talking about the original N64 versions.
Other Zeldas I really like are SS, WW, and TP. They are my 3rd, 4th, and 5th favourite, respectively.
My least favourite Zelda is AoL. That game is torture to any sane person. I don't really want to play it again.
I'm also not particularly fond of FS/FSA because they feel gimmicky to me.

My top three favorite Zelda games are in decreasing order: The Wind Waker, Majora's Mask and Twilight Princes.

Note: These are my favorite, I don't necessarily think they are the best games in the sires.
