What about the original? Yay for stabbing around randomly trying to hit Ganon.

I haven't seen anyone mention Link's Awakening. Anyone else played it? It'll always hold a special place in my heart, as it was the first LoZ game I played.

I loved Links Awakening. Though I know a lot of people actually never played it.

For me it is:
1. Link to the Past
2. Ocarina of Time
3. Links Awakening
4. Majoras Mask
5. Oracle of Ages/Seasons
6. Windwaker
7. Twilight Princess
8. Minish Cap

I've yet to finish Twilight Princess, but what I have played of it (Around 20 hours). I haven't really liked. Minish Cap was alright, but far too short for my liking. I have yet to play Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass.

That was awesome.  I dug up my old NES a few months back and played it--battery still worked (old data long gone, but it saved my new stuff).  Finished each quest in about a day, although I somehow forgot to get the silver arrows before running into Ganon the first time in the second quest..."Wait, now what D:"

Such a great game.  Still my favorite Zelda.  And such a tiny, tiny development team, and they did it on such a short timescale!  Truly, there are lessons we can all learn from them.

Legend of Zelda was okay, but I still get angry while playing Zelda II. FUUUUUUKING BATS

[Sowelu]

You should try playing Legend of Zelda 2 3D.  Oh god, those bouncing skulls coming at you from behind, when you're seeing the world from an FPS view...

Up-Stab. Or are you talking about the people who turn into bats? Or those people who turn into near-invincible? Fun when you bounce on them with Down-Stab.

I also remember how hard it was getting past the river bridge(the one you need Rauru's letter for). I didn't know where the guy was, and I spent so long trying to get past with a Jump spell.

For me it is:
1. Ocarina of Time
2. Link to the Past
3. Windwaker
4. Majoras Mask
6. The Legend of Zelda
7. Twilight Princess
999. Zelda II - The Adventures of Link

I hated Zelda II so much. The caves were the worst part, with the blindness and the invincible bats. Luckily I have all of these except for Windwaker and Twilight Princess on a Collector's Edition Gamecube disc, which I can pop into my Wii. It's unfortunate that I lost my copy of the Windwaker, because it was my favorite combat-wise. Picking up the ginormous swords of your foes and swiping back at them was sweet.

All the bats. All of them. Especially the ones in the darkness.

Uh, you get the Candle in the very first dungeon. I don't even think you (should) even see bats in darkness before you get it.

Yes, but if you don't know where that is, you end up wandering through the first cave or two totally blind. It's painful to say the least.

[Heron TSG]

I once beat the first three Labyrinths of the first game with only the candle before getting incredibly bored and just finishing with the sword.

[Helmaroc]

OoT is my favorite video game. I really liked the Wind Waker as well. Twilight Princess was okay. I shamefully admit I have never played most of the other games in the series.

I must echo others that thought Majora's mask was a bit better. The story was more interesting, the enviroments were more varied, and the enemies were generally more interesting, as well as the characters.
Plus, there were some parts that were downright bizzare, and that's one thing i've always loved about the zelda series, that it can be bizzare and sometimes disturbing without being vulgar or grotesque.
It captures the strangeness of people in some fascinating ways.

Majora's Mask was better in a lot of ways, but the time limit was annoying, especially because you could rewind time indefinitely anyway.

I personally enjoyed the time limit, if only for the mood it created. Even knowing I could just rewind time, as a child I kind of had this sense of urgency when I played the game. I think one of my fondest memories was playing the game on new years eve, and having the ball drop on the tv behind me, while the moon in game dropped.
Heh.
