Well, there are 3 gaming series' that most console gamers tout as "best of all time" due to their ability to consistently stay great/amazing over many, many games(and years). Those are Mario, Zelda, and Final Fantasy. Some others have the potential, yes, and some do come close, Castlevania, Resident Evil, GTA, and MGS, for example. However, no other series can enter that sphere of excellence until one of those other series' falters.
To answer your question, start with either Twilight Princess or Ocarina of Time. Besides LttP, they are imo, the best two games of the series, followed closely by Wind Waker.
Enjoy gaming heaven.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
