I voted Twilight Princess. The main reason why is that for me it had a much more mature take on the Zelda series (if still childish at times) which I personally preferred. Not just in terms of graphics, but the fantasy devices used (Link as a wolf/twilight realm), the reactions of characters, and the events of the game.
Hell, even the concept art was much more mature. Here's Link in OoT:
And from MM:
And now from TP (sorry for bigness):
See what I mean? See how much more badass he is the TP one?

Anywho, I've always found the Zelda series a bit childish (as much as I like it :p), and if Nintendo keeps taking the series in the direction of TP then I'm sure the next game will be even better (I'm not counting the DS titles by the way - for me 'console' Zeldas are the only true titles).

And if I could get a vote for second best, it would of course be OoT.

It is tied between Ocarina of Time and Link to the Past. I grew up with Link to the Past on the SNES, but Ocarina of Time was just...everything I ever wanted in a video game. It still pretty much is.

Majora's mask > OoT
MM had a darker storyline, more side quests, and more sort of really weird things (aliens stealing cows, anyone?). Plus you got to be a Zora. The moon gave me nightmares as a kid though lol.

For those who think OoT the best play the 1st Legend of Zelda you might change your mind. Wind Waker really it's the worst 30min at sea so you can play for an hour.Now I'll give you it's stylish but it waste to much time if you wanted to do anything.

Your poll is broken. Take out the tie thing and put in Link to the Past. Favorite game of all time. Go fix the poll. NAO!!!

I love MM as well. 4th Favorite game of all time. I loved the water temple in MM, with all the pipes and gears and. It was so cool.

I would say OoT by a long shot. (Personally, greatest game ive ever played) My only issue with the poll: Where are the originals? Link to the Past? The Adventure of Link? The Legend of Zelda? (Im a huge Zelda fanboy, so Im very stuck up on Zelda posts, no offense.)

Majora's mask, but only because the plot was so in depth.
If it had as many dungeons as the other Zelda games it'd be the best game ever.
I especially loved the Anju/Kafie romantic story arc.
First time I ever cried in a video game. (the only other time was several dozen times in Fallout 3)
Now THAT was a great game!

Ocarina of Time was the most memorable for me, probably because it was the first one I played. I've read a lot of people nominate A Link to the Past because it was their first game, but I find it a bit dull having tried to play it now. So logically, I'd say if someone was to come to the series anew this year, they'd enjoy Twilight Princess the most.

Ocarina of Time's one of the best games of all time for a reason, but despite all this I'm rather fond of Majora Mask's story. It's so dark, and I feel that the overall pointlessness of your actions in-game give it a good impact that I haven't exactly seen in any recent game.
