Hands down, Loz: Link to the Past.

I didn't get to finish Link to the past unfortunately. Gotta beat it...

Uhm.... While I do believe that Ocarina of Time had a much better plot and atmosphere. Majoras Mask was overall mroe enjoyable to simply play.

To verdict: I can't decide! They are too equal >_> I suppose Ocarina of Time, because I was in deep wonder while playing that game.

Giving the nod to Majora. Same engine as Ocarina, but with a more engrossing and darker storyline and better graphics. Not to mention the fact that Oni-Link was totally hardcore ^_^

I choose Wind Waker, because the music sent me to another world.

I haven`t played many, but for some reason all the ones I like are the most overrated. I do think Ocarina of Time has WAY too big of a fanbase, but i still like it.

Link to the Past is the best as far as I'm concerned.

My second choice would have been LttP. Then Ocarina. Then the original. Of course, Zelda II is good too.

Ocarina of Time, no contest. Man, I LOVE that game. The gameplay was so fantastic, and the minigames were SO fun! Besides...Adult Link was hot. XD! A Link to the Past is my second favorite; tons of good memories from that one. :thumb: Also, Link's Awakening....GAAH!! I loved that game!!! The Ballad of the Windfish was the COOLEST thing ever, haha! Unfortunatly, it belonged to my brother, and he traded it in...:waah: Anyways, I'll just leave it at my top 3 favorite for now, haha!

It was a VERY close run between Alttp and Link's awakening. And I must say that I really love Ocarina of time, but something about the 2D zelda's is so much more endearing to me.
But the reaosn I picked Link's Awakening is mostly for nostalgia's sake. It was the first Zelda game I ever played, and I hold everything about it near to my heart. (the ending still makes me choke up a bit) So yeah, there's my two cents.

The titles that immediately leapt to mind were A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask. To be fair, I should say that I have not beaten Wind Waker or the Oracle games. Also, should Four Swords receive a listing as well?

In any case, in the end I chose Ocarina of Time. I appreciated the darker storyline of Majora's Mask and the idea of reliving three days, but the latter aspect robbed the game of much of its enjoyment for me (all your actions are, in the end, undone, except for how they benefit you). Oni Link was good, but the fact that you play Adult Link for much of Ocarina of Time balances this somewhat.

A Link to the Past, however, is a different story. Comparisons come less readily, as the two are not on the same engine. The tipping factor is probably the storyline, which I wasn't terribly impressed with (though it wasn't bad). Also, the world felt less grand, though much of that is simply technology. Still, Ocarina of Time did more with different races and a more comprehensive world.
