As far as console games are concerned, I'd have to give that honor to Zelda 2, actually. The style turned a lot of people off and Nintendo has never returned to it, which is a shame since so many cool mechanics were introduced. Wind Waker, as many have said here, had an initial bad reception upon its reveal, but quickly moved into the upper echelon of Zelda games once it had been released. Now you see why.
