My opinion... I didn't like much the first two Zeldas. Sure, they were other times, but there were adventure games that were much more advanced that these two in the same years. A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening are good, no doubt of that. Ocarina of Time was actually a very average game, and short to top it off. Majora's Mask was wonderful, I liked the characters, setting, story... just everything about it. I haven't played the oracles... the Wind Waker, it was overall a step down from Majora's Mask, but I liked it better than Ocarina of Time. The Four Sword games felt like filler, and I haven't finished yet Twilight Princess and Phantom Hourglass, so I'll shut up now.
