Favourite is still Ocarina of Time, can't remember Majora's Mask anymore so guess I'll have to play it again.

Why you ask? For the memorable music, perfect temple designs and challenging puzzles, the many many interesting boss fights and how well the laid out the landscape, not to big or small and filled with secrets.

I only like the The Legend of Zelda games, that neither conatin Link, Zelda and Ganon.
Oh, so you enjoy Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland?Yes, that's a Zelda Game.

Sorry, but it was there! I just had to do it!

OT: Majora's Mask. It was much darker than any of the other Zelda games, including Twilight Princess. Plus, it actually gave me a sense of anxiety when the world would end. It was great!

Eh, boss? Go ahead and burn me at the stake for saying, but I feel like there's just one Zelda game, endlessly remade.
Okay: Series you now must also not like to the same degree as Zelda:

Every sports game
Cod
Battlefield
Halo
Pokemon
Pheonix Wright
Professor Layton
Age of Empires
Dawn of War
Many others...

Just because they are taking the same concept and twisting it only slightly, the series is still a masterpiece because it is its execution that is special. No game is similar other than it's backbone, and even its backbone has cracks in different spots from game to game. The puzzles and dungeons, the reason we play the game, are all very unique, and masterful.

Anyway: Ocarina of Time will always be my favorite, though I did love Majoras Mask almost as much.

:O Majora's mask is winning, that surprises me since Ocarina usually gets all the credit. Majora's Mask is my favorite though...I played Ocarina before it, but Majora's was the first I beat all the way and I really love the darker style and storytelling. Plus, the stone temple's music is awesome :D

Always and forever will be MAJORA'S MASK!!
Why? because it was bizarre, dark and twisted and took the serious to a level of disturbing that has made it stand out the most out of all the Zelda games.

Never has a Zelda game ever given me that same sense of Deja Vu and Familiarly Unfamiliar.

No Zelda II: Adventure of Link?! You would honestly deny the best action/adventure platformer on the NES to being filed under the lowly "Other" option? I'm so disappointed...

It's probablly the nostalgia talking, but I was always partial to LttP. It was also the first one I thought was good. I'm glad I didn't play the orginal until much later since I never would've even considered playing any Zelda game after. I also did like Majora's Mask, but the time mechanic really annoyed me. I hated having to stop fighting a boss and travel all the way back to try again because I ran out of time.

You know, I wanted to pick Majora's Mask, because in several ways I do consider it superior to Ocarina of Time. But, Ocarina has more sentimental value to me. It was my first console game on my first console (Up to that point I was all PC and Gameboy), and I have many fond memories of me playing it, so, I have to go with that as my favorite.

Though, I've honestly yet to play a Zelda game I didn't enjoy, so I feel like picking a favorite implies I don't like the others, which is far from the truth. But I guess if I could only have one, I would pick Ocarina of Time.

I personally am split between zelda 2: links awakening, link to the past, and link's awakening.
Zelda 2 partly because it tries to approach the same story with a different gametype (I doubt you would see nintendo taking that kinda chance nowadays). It was also a very fun game for me to play. It was one of the few level-based games of the time that was not turn-based, yet gaining levels didn't automatically make you overpowered compared to yourself 10 seconds ago. It gave the player a massive challenge that had to be overcome, and rewarded him/her for doing so.
Link to the past because, to me, it was the big introduction to legend of zelda (I know OOC is sometimes considered that, but to me, this was). It was the first zelda game on a console to give the player the story in-game as you were playing. Compared to the first two, where the map and books were essential to success.
link's awakening was also the first attempt at taking link away from the norm. The setting was different, the story was interesting, and I found it very engaging for a gameboy game.
I think my favorite games tend to be those that try to break their own mold. With this, I also appreciated four-swords, although the multiplayer-game idea was a little too soon. Had it been something made for DS, what with wireless multiplayer, I think it would have done better.

Well, the new Zelda game is coming out in less than a month kiddies, so what is your favorite Zelda game? Majora's Mask is mine, I know people didn't like it because of the unforgiving nature of it, but I honestly think those kind of people are well...babies. The time limit in Majora's Mask was what made every decision count, and that's why it was just so much awesome. Not to mention all the masks, transformations, awesome story, and yeah lol.

So what is your favorite Zelda game Escapists?
Zelda II
if not that then Majoras Mask
then in third OoT
then Oracle of seasons

EDIT: WAIT WAIT! ... ...Darksiders ;P
