I haven't played Spirit Tracks or Oracle of Seasons, so I can't judge those, but I've played all the others. My favorite is Link's Awakening. I like the storyline and I enjoy the fact that it is 2D. I really love 2D games. I thought, progressing from Link's Awakening to Phantom Hourglass, that the newer titles were a lot less enjoyable because of the presence of helpers being too helpful. If I ever got caught up in Phantom Hourglass, I could easily get the solution. It made the game easier and a lot shorter to me. Whereas Link's Awakening can have you running in circles at times, but it makes it feel more like an actual adventure. The story was a lot more satisfying upon completion as well, which means a lot to me.
