Twilight Princess is awesome, though I played the Wii version. BOTW though is my pick for the greatest Zelda game ever.

I did love some GC games like Metroid Prime 1/2 and Luigi's Mansion, but as more of SNES/N64 kid I didn't really vibe with stuff like Mario Sunshine, Wind Waker, Mario Kart Double Dash or DK Jungle Beat, their predecessors in the 90s and successors on Wii were more my style.

I feel like Nintendo that gen was kinda flailing around in a panic and throwing a lot of stuff at the wall to see what stuck; for me some of it did, and some didn't.

So this going to sound odd. BotW is simultaneously one of my all time favorite games, but my least favorite Zelda game.  It isn’t Zelda.  I miss the awesome puzzle dungeons.  

I adore WW.  And pikmin is top 5 franchises and so is LM.  I also loved wave race.  

Yeah I adore BOTW, it's one of my favourite games as well, but I think a lot of Zelda fans feel it diverges quite far from series tradition. I can see why; by Skyward Sword the formula put forth by Ocarina was starting to get long in the tooth, so Nintendo decided a radical overhaul was needed to address declining sales. Commercially, it was absolutely the right call, but I can see why some miss the old formula.
