Well, the original and A Link to the Past pretty much tie for first place for me.
ALttP takes everything from the first and expands upon it, making everything even better. However, in choosing only one...
... Taking into account its breakthrough gameplay and design and a full second quest upon completion (not to mention the full color booklet, included map and gorgeous gold cartridge), I'd give it to the original Legend of Zelda in the end. It's my single favorite game experience of all time.
LoZ > (=) ALttP > OoT = MM > WW >>> Z2 = TP = SS >>>>>>> 4S
But I love every single one of the console Zelda games.
