personally i think OoT, MM, and WW were the best
Zelda 2.
The original, by far.
Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and Zelda 2
Link's Awakening!!!!!!
I guess Ocarina of Time was pretty good too.
I'm going for Twilight Princess it was the one that I really played and liked it a lot, didn't try the others because I don't own.
I could play with emulators but prefer the real stuff.
My favorite is Ocarina of Time. I've never played Majora's Mask though, and I have a feeling I might like it better.
I did like Link's Awakening (and DX) a lot so it is my second favorite.
Ocarina of Time and Link to the past :'(
Faces of Evil. :P
I can't find the video I was going to post. :(

Good man! Just for that, I'll give Zelda 2 another shot. Never thought much of it as I have trouble getting into the "where the heck am I going" style games of old, but if someone with enough taste to enjoy LA digs it, I'll try again.
This thread should be a poll.
My vote goes for Link's Awakening/DX.

Majora's Mask is one of the best games, it is one of IF NOT THE DARKEST GAME BY NINTENDO EVER!
For me, definitely Ocarina of Time. It was my first Zelda game, and boy was it sweet. I can't think of any weak zelda games, but Ocarina of Time is probably the best out of all of them, everything is just so perfect.
That being said, a close second would be Link to the Past because I noticed for a lot of Nintendo franchises, the best games in each series was one the N64 or SNES. Link to the Past set the foundation for the rest of the series.
I find that the second of most game (& movies) are usually experimental in trying out different things that either work or don't, & the third (& anything subsequent) goes back to the original style.
ie.
-Metroid
-Metal Gear (not Solid) & for the better
-Die Hard
-Indiana Jones
Super Mario Bros. was probably a BIG exception! :o But the second one is still the 'Black Sheep' of the series
Link to the Past, then Link's Awakening, but I'm really not a fan of 3D Zelda, so there you go. Just doesn't feel like a Zelda game.

im guessing you grew up with the 2D zelda so that might be a factor
To be fair to Metal Gear, the Nes / Fami versions are not true metal gears. Metal Gear 2 on MSX was an amzing piece of work. Snake's Revenge is just a ugly licensing love-child.
I still watch the intro every now and then for the music alone:

Actually this version is sped up through incorrect emulation but I love it nonetheless.
Oh yeah, I forgot - people think Snake's Revenge is Metal Gear 2.
Sorry if I didn't make it clear - but I was talking about the MSX versions, & Metal Gear 2 made a massive amount of changes (for the better!) & I hear people saying it was executed better than even Metal Gear Solid (have yet to play Solid myself).
And I actually liked Snake's Revenge - people, realize this came before Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Heck, if it weren't for Snake's Revenge, we might not have had sequels! :o
how the hell did you get on topic of metal gear, THIS IS ZELDA!!!!!!!!
I'm locked in a battle between Link to the Past and Wind Waker, since those were the ones I had growing up. (No N64)

Fine then - I think Wind Waker was the worst Zelda. Happy now?

I guess you could say I grew up w/ 2D Zelda, tho I didn't play LttP until I was in college (same w/ the GB game, now that I think about it). But it's almost like the difference between Metroid and Metroid Prime (and I actually prefer the Metroid Prime games, LOL). I just think the puzzles play differently, the games flow different... For instance, in Lttp, you wake up, go find a dungeon enterance, get a sword... you basically jump right in and just start playing. OoT, on the hand, starts you off in a village and basically tells you how to play the game (and you NEED those instructions, LOL). Just feels overly complicated and artificial to me.
I have an nes reproduction of Zelda: Outlands...Made out of a hand painted gold cart....NIce game. Plays like the original Zelda, looks like the original, but its got a totally redone map set...
