Ok, see, you weren't being a douchebag about it, I understand why some people see it as silly. I do not. That is my opinion, and I am entitled to my opinion, Being a dick to me over my opinion is a great way to get me worked up. It wasn't uncalled for, I wasn't the one who started lobbing insults. Just because they're a mod doesn't give them the right to be an asshole.
At this point, I think it'd be best if you and Polaris were to continue this via PM, which is how it should have been handled in the first place at the very least, instead of continuing a completely separate sort of conversation within this topic. Thank you.
As for my favorite Zelda games... that's not an easy one.
E) Link's Awakening (non-DX) - There's just something about the original that I enjoy, although DX isn't much different besides color. The original version you could skip repeated lines within the game, like when you get the Guardian Acorn, and the Piece of Power (name??), or when you get the compass in each dungeon. This was also the first Zelda game that I bought with my own money, and will always rank rather high on my list. I've played it all the way through 25 times or so.
5) Twilight Princess - I know people have issues with this game, and I kind of have to agree with some of them. I think it's a pretty fun game, and does allow you to go where you want to a point. I enjoy the layout of the world, and really like the music even though to some it's not so great. I always loved the Hyrule Field theme in this game as it gave me a sense of adventure. When you get to the City in the Sky though, I would have to agree that it does cause me to lose interest a fair bit. That's actually where I am sitting on my copy of Twilight Princess HD on the Wii U.
4) Oracle of Ages - Love the parallel worlds at play in this game. It's got a simple idea, but works well. I found the dungeons to be quite enjoyable, and the music, along with LA, and OoS, are great in their wonderful Gameboy-y way. Wish Minish Crap continued on with this greatness.
3) Wind Waker - I've loved this game since the first time I played it. I remember driving 45 miles just to pick this up from Walmart, and 45 miles back home to enjoy it. Pretty sure it was release day too. I loved the art style they went with even though a lot of people thought it was stupid. Just how the characters were presented, and the unique charm that this game has. The soundtrack is one of my favorites, especially Dragon Roost Island. I really wish there had been more dungeons in it like there was originally going to be.
2) A Link to the Past - One of my favorite games of all time, and earliest Zelda experiences. My brother had owned this game when we were little, and I remember when he had first gotten drawn into the Dark World after fighting Aghanim, and it was amazing. A whole new world to explore, and the super awesome Dark World theme that went along with it. I've played through this game countless times, and played a few of the randomizer variants, which make the whole experience fresh again, and challenging depending on how the randomization turned out. I love this game, and pretty much play it annually now.
1) Breath of the Wild - This is currently in my top position for my favorite Zelda games, could be that it's my favorite now, or could be that it's still the newest, freshest Zelda that I have experienced. Either way, it's pretty great in my opinion. I loved the whole world, it was so well put together, thanks to the help from Monolithsoft. The Guardians, what assholes they were early in the game, while they were very menacing. It was a very neat concept that they went with for them. Being able to sink so much time (195+ hours currently) into this and still needing to finish up a few things, not to forget the future DLC that we'll be getting. I do wish there were more full dungeons in the vein of Hyrule Castle in the game though, but the Shrines filled the gap a little bit. Hope they stick with the open world concept in the future titles, but include more dungeons in it.
In the end, I think the future of the series has so much potential at this point. They have a good baseline to play with now. My coworker went out and bought a Switch along with BotW after I had brought mine to work for him to check out. The last Nintendo system he owned was the Gamecube,
