Mine would be Occarina of Time because it introduced me to the series.

Wind Waker for me !
Definitely one of my favorites! I’ve been playing Zelda games since the OG Legend of Zelda on NES, and Wind Waker, particularly the HD remake left me with that really great sense of big world adventure. It was this game that pushed me to get a full sleeve tattoo themed completely around Wind Waker! It’s currently in progress and almost complete. Maybe a few more sessions to get it done. Such a great game!
I played only Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, BotW and TotK. Among these, I must say TotK is my favorite.
All games are memorable in their own way but I’m a sucker for open world and immersive sim and TotK scratches all my itches. There are somethings I liked more on BotW (story/characters and dungeons) but the new toys and much expanded map more than makes up for it.
To avoid recency bias, I’m going to not say Tears of the Kingdom and say Breath of the Wild, which is my all-time favorite video game. Not counting the newest game, my top 5 are:
- Breath of the Wild
- Wind Waker HD
- A Link to the Past
- The Legend of Zelda
- Twilight Princess
Twilight princess hands down. I adore that game
Breath of the Wild. We themed our wedding on it.
Any photos to share? 🥺🥺
Not publicly, but I will tell you we bought a pile of silk stargazer lillies and hand painted all of them to look like silent princesses. All of the floral was otherwise white, so it was very striking.
Awesome 💕💕 any Zelda music?
Either BotW or TotK. I believe those games are absolutely incredible. It’s designed so wonderfully! Everything in the game just makes sense.
Though I never fully played through them, OoT and MM have big nostalgia for me from watching my friends play them as a kid.
Tears of the Kingdom is my favorite, and before that it was BOTW. Third favorite goes to OOT or ALTTP.
Majora’s Mask easily, followed closely by Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time, and Twilight Princess.
The classic style Zelda formula (that was introduced in the OG Zelda and then refined to perfection in ALTTP and OoT) is perfect and didn’t need to be changed up.
Mine would be Links Awakening (the original one on Game Boy). It was the first one I played. As a portable Zelda game, it was awesome. The story was good and the game played really well. I also tried the DX version and that was great too.
Did you play the one on the Switch ? If so, what did you think about it ? I only played the new one on the Switch and it played very well, but I wondered what someone who played the original would think.
I never played the one on the switch. I played the game boy versions only. Even then, they were great.
For nostalgic reasons, mine is also Ocarina of Time, for sure. Majora’s Mask is a close second.
I think Tears of The Kingdom is my favorite gameplay-wise.
The Link’s Awakening remake gets an honorable mention, cause that game is amazing.
Ocarina was my introduction and has so much nostalgia associated with it that I’m not sure I can ever top it. BotW was my favorite experience since OoT, and now TotK might surpass BotW for me. Life is just so much different as an adult than it was as a 9 year old playing OoT with all of my cousins and friends… it’s hard to compare the experiences objectively.
Ocarina was my introduction so it will always have a place in my heart but it has to be Wind Waker! Just, everything, the story, the aesthetic, the music, it’s all so perfect and gives me a warm happy place feeling. I wish so badly that it was more loved in the community (it received a lot of hate at the time) and I wish we could have seen the cut content and how different the story would have been.
Ocarina was my first and absolutely loved it and MM
I was always torn as to weather my fav was ocarina or breath of the wild - but now I’ll say confidently that my fav Zelda game is tears of the kingdom - I’m 90 hours in and feel like I haven’t gotten that far through the whole game but I’m having a blast ⚡⚡⚡
Tears of the Kingdom does have a nasty habit of sucking all of your time in exchange for fun. I’m amazed at how fun it is to play this game.
I finally finished the main story but still have SO much to do and every time I play, I look at the time and wonder how the hell it became 5am so quickly!
I’m in oldie, so my favorite would be a toss up between Link to the Past (SNES) or Link’s Awakening (Game Boy). I go back and play LttP every few years, but Link’s Awakening was my first. ❤️
Outside of TOTK, I really enjoyed playing Minish Cap. The story, I’m meh on, but the gameplay was a lot of fun! It’s almost a tie between that and ALttP, but I actually haven’t ever finished the later which means the former wins out, for me anyways.
