Why a Top 5, when you can have a Top-All? Though I feel like I already posted this a dozen times before, I'll take any excuse to praise Link's Awakening and to urge everyone to buy, play and love that game. So:

1: Ocarina of Time
2: Link's Awakening
3: Twilight Princess
4: Majora's Mask
5: A Link to the Past
6: Skyward Sword
7: The Legend of Zelda
8: A Link Between Worlds
9: The Wind Waker
10: Spirit Tracks
11: Adventure of Link
12: Oracle of Ages
13: Oracle of Seasons
14: Phantom Hourglass
15: The Minish Cap
16: Triforce Heroes
17: Four Swords

To put things into context; The top 2 are "divine", 3-5 are "legendary", 6-9 are "excellent", 10-13 are "great", 14-15 are "not-so-great" and 16-17 are "terrible".

im a massive Zelda fan but hated the NES games.

ss was a terrible zelda game

Holy crap. I didn't think we would have the same fav Zelda game. I was totally expecting it to be Ocarina of Time, since that usually the obvious favorite. Good on him.

..The rest of his choices, dunno if I can agree though. Here are my top 5 Zeldas.

1 - Majora's Mask
2 - Wind Waker
3 - Link Between Worlds
4 - Link's Awakening
5 - Ocarina of Time

1 zelda ww
2 Zelda oot
3 Zelda awaking
4 Zelda ss
5 Zelda albw

It's ridiculous that I can't even make a top 5 Zelda games without excluding games that would fit right in a 10 greatest games of all time list..

I'm not a huge Zelda fan, but the ones I liked the most:

5 - Zelda II
4 - Wind Waker
3 - The Legend of Zelda
2 - A Link to the Past
1 - Majora's Mask

Never heard of Zelda II being a favorite :D
