Top 3 Zelda Games in Your Opinion

Majora's Mask - Love the depth of the game how the NPC's are actaully people and do things at specific time. The time system was awsome and I loved the transformation masks.

Wind Waker - Great story and I love sailing around to all the islands finding random stuff to do. Treasure hunting was also fun

1. A Link to the Past - The game got me into the series and remains my favorite til this day.
2. Ocarina of Time - Classic. One of the best I played but not quite up there as ALttP. One of my favorite Zelda games.
3. Majora's Mask - Dark, Creepy, and Awesome. Its a great "same Link" sequel to OoT. One of my favorite Zelda games.

1. A Link to the Past - Perfected the original concept for the first Zelda game for NES and had an excellent atmosphere for a SNES game. I always feel like I'm part of the world due to the freedom to explore and lack of hand holding, and the music was just mesmorizing.

2. Majora's Mask - Proves that you can make changes to the norms and produce a great result that still feels like an actual Zelda game. It had an interesting story, the three day schedule system made the world feel more real and interactive, the masks (especially the transformation masks) added depth to the gameplay, and the dungeons were amazing.

3. Ocarina of Time - It's just perfect. Throughout the 13+ years since its release and many playthroughs I've had, I could never come up with anything major that was wrong with it, something I can do with just about every other game in the series. It fits the definition of a complete classic masterpiece.

1. Twilight Princess: I love me my TP (toilet paper, too). This game got me into the series after ALttP failed to so five years earlier in 2002 (mostly because of the high difficulty). The story was absolutely riveting (holy crap, it got frakking dark at times), the characters and their interactions were deep, the boss battles were some of the series's best, and the game's world was pweeeety! I have never felt more immersed in a game's universe and plot. It is like an interactive epic Hollywood blockbuster!

2. Majora's Mask: Okay, I haven't even finished this game yet, and it's in the running to beat TP for the top spot in my best Zelda games list; if it were to do so, it would become my favorite video game of all time, since that is what TP is now! This game is even darker than TP. It is also the only video game to successfully give me a full-fledged nightmare (and this nightmare was practically me being in the game, it was so accurate!). That means that it has had a significant impact on me! The game's plot is terrifying, the characters are heart-wrenching, and the whole thing was done so well that it gets into your head and makes you feel completely and utterly helpless to save people from a gruesome, final death. It is so dag nab depressing! But if there is any proof of the immense power of video games, this is it. The dungeon design was not particularly impressive, however (though I haven't gotten to the flipping part of Stone Tower Temple yet).

3. Skyward Sword: Ah, yes. The newbie. The only reasons why this is on my top three games list are as follows: 1) the controls make this game have the greatest, most immerse combat system of any video game I have ever played, 2) the characters are some of the deepest, most lovable in the series, 3) the dungeons in this game are my favorite dungeons in the series, and 4) LORD FRAKKING GHIRAHIM. Ghirahim is the greatest villain I have ever encountered in video games (except, perhaps, for Pokémon Black & White Versions' Team Plasma); Ghirahim has a distinct personality, is more sadistic (and simultaneously "filled with rainbows") than any previous Zelda villain, is lovable (to hate), and is kinda shmexy!

My personal opinion actually isn't too different from this, almost exactly the same. I first gave my objective opinion, but I would say this fits closer to home and has the right points.

1: Wind Waker: Easily best atmosphere in Zelda, best soundtrack, graphics and art style, some great dungeons and more sidequests to 100% than any other Zelda game yet (figurines and finding all 49 treasure charts and getting all islands mapped will take 60-70 hours).

2: Ocarina of Time: Best dungeons, great soundtrack, bosses, and just a very fun game.

3: Twilight Princess: Fun items (Ball and Chain, Spinner) and great dungeons. Probably has the best dungeon music in any Zelda game (Snowpeak Ruins and Arbiter's Grounds). Very fun game.

Console:
1. Wind Waker

2. Twilight Princess
I loved the mature art style. The Bosses had great designs (especially the fossil). AND EPONA! They gotta bring back Epona in ZWiiU

3. Skyward Sword
I liked the mix of both WW and TP art styles and the mix up to the classic Zelda formula.

Handheld
1. Minish Cap
Best Art style EVER!
Bright and colorful
Hard
Kin Stones
Bosses
Turning into a Pikmin Minish/Pikori
The tree stumps found in both AlttP and MC

2. Spirit Tracks
I like trains
Also, Zelda isn't as useless.

3. Four Swords
Multiplayer.
It also works for Four Swords Adventures
