TLoZ is my favorite game of all time, so I don't know if anything will ever top it. But BotW is pushing it. It feels like a true sequel to that game and captures its spirit, only taking it to the millionth level and with modern presentation. I'm not that far in so I can't list it #1, but it is an easy #2, despite there being other games I truly loved. It's a masterpiece. So my list:
1. TLoZ. At the time, it was easily a perfect game and light years beyond anything else available.
2. BotW. See above. It's captured my imagination more than any game in recent memory. Flawless execution.
3. ALttP. A solid sequel, it felt a bit dumbed down from the original.
4. OoT. A different experience than the games above, it's beautiful in its own way.
5. MM. The unique experience and feel created some awesome escapism.
6. TAoL. It was weird, different and flawed, but at the same time gave a massive world and some creepy elements and settings. Its nice to see some of the scope that this game hinted at returning with Breath.
7. TWWHD. Played it for the first time on Wii U, and it was lovely.
8. TP. Cool setting but the motion controls drove me batty so I never finished it. I may pick it up on WiiU and take another run. Also, the dark world zones were cheep, annoying and no fun.
9. SS. Similar to above, except the graphics were worse and they wasted a prime opportunity to make some really cool flying creatures; instead we got dopey looking dodo birds. Also, for a setting that was supposed to be like the beginning of time, it didn't really feel like it. Throwing bombs by flicking your wrist sucks. So does flying a drone like that. And lastly, the orb collection stuff was lame and cheap way to stretch out the game.
I gotta say, after the last two entries I'm blown away by how good Breath is. I can't believe a team that fucked up so many things and slacked off in creating a deep experience have created a title as perfect and massive as Breath has been so far. It's restored my faith in humanity.
