It is kind of interesting (maybe funny) that I have been a life long fan of Nintendo since the NES. But I only kind of like Ocarina, SMB3 and Yoshi's Island. All of which are hailed as Nintendo's best. I would take Wind Waker, Mario World and NSMB over that lot.

F-Zero X. Oooo baby I like it raw.

I can't decide between OoT or Smash Bros Melee

S.Peelman said: That is also the best game ever created period; The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Metacritic agrees with me. Nintendo inhouse games I’d rank a top 10 like this, lots of Mario and Zelda, but I guess it just is what it is; 1. Zelda Ocarina of Time 2. Super Mario 64 3. Yoshi’s Island 4. Zelda Link’s Awakening 5. Mario Kart 64 6. Zelda Breath of the Wild 7. Super Mario Bros. 3 8. Zelda Twilight Princess 9. Super Mario Galaxy 10. Metroid Fusion

I like this list...the top two spots are as should be. Incredible taste.

That's easy. Breath of the Wild. I love the game so much I don't want it to end. I've had it since August 2017, played 98% of it and still haven't beaten it yet. I'll beat it when BOTW2 comes out.

I gotta say Ocarina of Time.

Mario Galaxy series a close second.

For me it's got to be Super Mario Galaxy.

As others have stated, it's one of those games that's sublime to the point of near utter perfection. Everything from the tight controls, to the incredibly creative level design, to the wonderful music, to the beautiful visuals, it's superb in every single aspect.

But tying all these brilliant components into a cohesive whole is this effortless magic that somehow recaptures that childhood feeling of exploring playgrounds and backyards while playing make-belief games of adventure and discovery, and manages to distill it into into video game form. I thought that feeling of childlike wonder had been lost to me forever, but Mario Galaxy brought it back.

A true masterpiece.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? I was counting on you to rep Majora's Mask! I thought for sure with your avatar it'd at least be in the top 10.

It’s currently Breath of the Wild, without a doubt. But there are a lot of others throughout time worth mentioning.

• ~1986-1990, Super Mario Bros was Nintendo’s first mega-hit. While Donkey King put them on the map, SMB was something else.
• 1990-1992. Super Mario Bros 3 exceeded the first one in every way possible and, to this day, remains one of the biggest releases in history.
• 1992-1998. Link to the Past - this Zelda game changed the way we looked at games. It was well-paced, fun, and while it lacked the difficulty of earlier iterations, it stopped on everything in terms of satisfaction.
• 1998-2007. Ocarina of Time - there was a gap of time where IMO Nintendo wasn’t quite the #1 studio they were in the past. While Mario 64 was great for what it explores, it was RARE that was winning the platformer war with DKC and Banjo Kazooie, and then they had GE007, which became a significant hit. All of this paled in comparison to Ocarina of Time.
• 2007-2017. Super Mario Galaxy came next. After many dark years of mediocrity, Nintendo came back into the light with the Wii. At the end of the first year was SMG, which was Nintendo’s most exceptional game to date, and IMO still their second most excellent game of all time (all though there are levels in SMG2 I like more). The two SMG games remain my favourite platformers to date.
• 2017-PRESENT. Breath of the Wild - and the current reigning heavyweight champion. Breath of the Wild extended much of what I ever expected from a video game. Dragon Quest 9 was the first game I played a single save beyond 100 hours, and also 200 hours - and a lot of it had to do with multiplayer co-op. Animal Crossing on 3DS was another, Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii was another I surpassed 100 hours playing. But it was Breath of the Wild that became the first game I played over 300 hours on in a single save. The pacing and designed fixed my most significant issues I’d had with Zelda since the series went 3D, and it is also the first Zelda game to fully realize the potential of 3D by exploring a vast 400 square kilometer world with vast biomes, diverse towns and peoples exploring the world, many stables that act as settlements... and despite all this time there’s still land to explore (though not much left at this point). Breath of the Wild 2 is on the way; but like SMG2, I am expecting more of an extension of the first game rather than a giant step up.

Ocarina of Time, Metroid Prime and Prime 2, and Galaxy come to mind quickly, as do many other titles that have already been mentioned...
Other titles that deserved to be mentioned include Animal Crossing New Leaf, Paper Mario and Paper Mario TTYD, Xenoblade, Kid Icarus and Kid Icarus Uprising, and the Art Style games...
