Well, they ranked only 3D Zeldas...they've played ALttP, they like it (specially since that's easier to play for them than 3D Zeldas), but they prefer 3D Zeldas. Maybe if there was Zelda II Reimaging that looks like Trine they would change their mind, since they love those games.

I think the primary reason for this though is that it's on a portable console. He doesn't have the attention span to sit in front of a TV for enough time to beat a Zelda game I don't think. |
Yeah, one of the reasons I've got my kids into PC/console games from early on is to avoid them going into mobile - they still play around on tablets, but are well aware that those games are, in most cases, inferior to 'proper' games.
As for Zelda, I've noticed that they really liked hands on approach of SS controls - they love Swordplay in Wii Sports Resort, and SS was more of the familiar, both in setting and gameplay. Maybe try getting him into that?

Well, to be fair, I think that might have somewhat to do with outdated graphics - when they were younger they used to call it 'blocky Link', so maybe they'll change their mind once they play 3DS version. Though, honestly, OoT doesn't hold up so well against more recent ones in lot of other aspects.
