The best Zelda game ever?

[smatchimo]

I loved Ocarina of Time! It was the first game that gave me that "epic" feeling inside. I remember the first Deku Baba that attacked me. It scared the crap out of me. But anyways, I just wanted to represent the first game that gave me that adrenaline rush.

Wow, you pretty much listed all the Zelda games. I wasn't expecting that, kudos on creating a thorough poll.

I voted Link's Awakening/DX. It's hard to descibe why I prefer this Zelda game to all the others but I guess the most basic reason is that it all the other ones have certain elements which I don't like as much, Link's Awakening was the only one that I was 100% happy with. I loved the story, the world, the dungeons, the puzzles, the side quests, the bosses, everything.

LINK'S CROSSBOW TRAINING!
But seriously, it's a very close call between Majora's and Ocarina. I love them both so much!

I'll throw my vote into A Link to the Past as well. The game was and still is absolutely astonishing. I'll say though that right behind it is Ocarina of Time. Ocarina of time would have easily been my favorite if it wasn't for one hang up, it's much easier to finish than Link to the Past is. Still though both are fantastic games, but the SNES gem gets my vote.

Majora's Mask. No further questions.

Link to the Past

It's so magical! *flies away on a Rainbow Pegasus*

the original Zelda for me. That game made me a gamer. a close 2nd is Ocarina, followed by Wind Waker. shame on me for not playing twilight princess..... yet

Have to go with Ocarina, it's got everything!
Nostalgia
Awesomeness
A post man who is faster than a Kenyan olympic sprinter
Friggin GANON, Ocarina has the coolest Ganon ever
GOSSIP STONES! Hit it with a bomb to make a rocket ship! (yeah they were in Majora too but Ocarina pioneered it).
---------------
For second place I'd vote Majora and Ages/Seasons plus A Link to the Past.
Majora just rules, Fierce Diety's mask and replayable bosses FTW
Ages and Seasons because they outdid themselves on it for a Gameboy game, link them for extra content? Rock on!
And if you don't like a Link to the Past you must hate Zelda games.

Something about Wind Waker really just caught me like no other Zelda game, as good as they all might be. I think it was just a combination of all its elements that I really enjoyed.

Ocarina of time is a classic
