I think that I would start with Kirby Superstar Ultra and end with Shadow of the Colossus.

The big question is what three come between those two.

I'd like to thank you for always bringing up Shadow of the Colossus in these threads.
It's criminally absent from most lists.

On topic, a list is difficult without a background of the person in question. Is (s)he looking to be satisfied on an intellectual or artistic level? Does (s)he just want to have fun?
Either way, I'd end my list with SotC.

 

You'll be happy to note I gave it the nod too, then.  I always struggle between ICO and SOTC for lists like this, but I think in this case it would have to be SOTC.
