Ive played almost all and ocarina of time is best by far

[Wolf O'Donnell]

It's difficult to choose one, really. I think Majora's Mask is severely under-rated, as are the Oracles games (despite them not feeling like a Zelda game, whatever that means). Ocarina of Time, by contrast, is hugely overrated thanks to the fact that it's the first 3D Zelda game.The NES games are superior in terms of challenge. They just are. You have a hard time completing them, especially Zelda II. You'd be hard pressed to find Zelda games more challening than them. Wind Waker was insanely easy. Ocarina of Time, not so much so, but still reasonably easy (I only died because the Z-targetting thing malfunctioned on me). Majora's Mask was just as easy, I never ran out of time. Minish Cap wasn't that difficult but it did have its frustratingly obscure moments. Link's Awakening had very obscure moments, where you had no idea what to do. A Link to the Past was actually quite challenging, however, pretty difficult and pretty long.Ooh, yes... It's hard to say. I would say, A Link to the Past was best. Ocarina of Time basically played like a 3D remake of ALttP plot-wise. Majora's Mask was pretty entertaining and had a more original storyline than the others. Link's Awakening played like a ALttP for the Gameboy. Oracles weren't that bad. Wind Waker played like a retelling of Ocarina of Time but on an Ocean and with fewer dungeons. Minish Cap was too short.Yeah, A Link to the Past was the best. Every other game since then was either too samey or too short or too easy.

You should have started the poll after Twilight Princess came out. I'm sure everyone would have chosen it if we'd have played it. Let's hope its as good as it is touted to be. I personally chose Wind Waker. I just loved how vibrant the colours were and how large the map was that you could traverse.

Although I do agree that OoT was a great game, I wouldn't go as far to say it was the best because for one thing it was exactly the same as A link to the past. And personally I prefered Majora's Mask over the rest because the entire concept of the game was original compared to the other Zelda's, the story didn't involve Ganon (not that I hate him) the mask collecting was fun, and the many sidequests were very inovative.
