1. Ocarina of Time: The beginning of my Zelda love affair. Everything was amazing, even the Water Temple. Never in my life had I been a part of such an epic final boss battle. Beautiful.
2. Wind Waker: With it's mature themes and eye popping art style (which rocked) It added so much depth to the Zelda universe. From the breath taking scene of Hyrule Castle, to Ganondorf's final moments (and everything in between), Wind Waker solidified Zelda's hold on me.
3. Twilight Princess: The big brother of Ocarina of Time. Great art direction, more great characters (Midna, Zant), and a behind smacking baboon. Twilight Princess is a great addition to the series. Once again, Ganondorf makes one heck of a final boss.
4. Link to the Past: My first 2D Zelda was on the Game Boy Advance. I must admit it was strange going from 3D Zelda to 2D, but I managed. And I found a great adventure with plenty of items, hearts, boss battles, and princess saving to get me through. Classic goodness.
5. Phantom Hourglass: I was pleasantly surprised by how well the stylus controlled Link. Great art style (once again) and tricky dungeons made for another great Zelda adventure! Adventure!
As you can tell I prefer the 3D titles to the 2D ones... still, they're all great games.
