3D: Skyward Sword
2D: Phantom Hourglass.

Nothing will top the original for me. The experience was mind-blowing. The exploration, the gadgets, the tight controls, and great music and atmosphere. OoT is second, with it being special in a different way. An amazing shift for the whole industry into 3D with great execution. ALttP would be next, with much of the charm of the original but with better graphics but a slightly less dangerous feel. A little bubbly for my taste. Then MM which is so different and slick and delightfully creepy. WWHD rounds out my top-5. Like MM it feels a bit like a side-story and it is the first Zelda to add annoying filler (Triforce Quest and other treasure hunting) that would be repeated and worse in TP and SS. But it does have a unique charm and magical feel. Nice pace to the action, too, and a pleasant story. The rest of the titles are nice and some offer some outstanding qualities but mixed with problematic drawbacks.

1. Link to past
2. Link b/w worlds
3. Orcarina
4. Majoras.
5. skyward sword.

Skyward Sword. Absolutely amazing game.

1. Ocarina of Time
2. Skyward Sword
3. Twilight Princess
4. Majora's Mask
5. Wind Waker

The Wind Waker in my case. I love the battle system, the cel-shading look and the world + the most important factor: i had the most fun with it out of all Zelda's i've played.

In most cases it's whichever you played first.

Majora's Mask ; ) Who knew Zelda could be taken to such dark settings...?

I'm in the rare case where my first isn't my fave : D ALttP was my first, but not my fav :3

Easy choice for me.

A link to the past is still unbeatable. Such a gorgeus game. Huge world full of things to do, lovely design and when you think it's over boom! Dark world and you have a whole new world to explore. It was mindblowing for me and it still is.

Then it would be Links awakening. I played the hell out of it on the original gameboy and then I replayed it in gb color. I loved the story and the characters.

The oracle games and link between world were also great. Zelda is my favorite series of all time every game is good. Even the ds games xD
