Best: Breath of the Wild. Don't get me wrong, Skyward Sword was a good game, but BOTW is one of my favourites of all time, it's physics and chemistry driven gameplay was what I dream games in "the future" would be like when I was a kid.

Worst: As someone who got their start on Zelda with Ocarina of Time, I really disliked the direction they went in with Wind Waker. Didn't like the art style, didn't like the sailing, and the Triforce shard quest was so bad I put it down and never picked it up again.

Wind Waker is the best Zelda. Amazing art. But Phantom Hourglass, now that is a pile of shit.

To each their own; Ocarina was my starting point for what Zelda should be, so I didn't like the change.
