In their newest issue (don't ask why I'm still getting the magazine in the first place), Nintendo Power made decided to rank every Zelda game that has been released, as well as picking their favourite item, dungeon, boss, etc. of all time.  Though I strongly disagree with most of the choices, here's the list:

13: Adventure of Link
12: Four Swords Adventures
11: Majora's Mask
10/9: Ages/Seasons (NP gives the advantage to Seasons, citing Rod of Seasons > Harp of Ages)
8: Minish Cap
7: Phantom Hourglass
6: Wind Waker
5: Link's Awakening (the original and DX were grouped together)
4: Twilight Princess
3: The Legend of Zelda (the original)
2: Link to the Past
1: Ocarina of Time

Best...
Weapon: Bow
Hook: Light/Dark World (LttP)
Item: Double Clawshots (TP)
*Princess* Zelda: Wind Waker
Boss: Argorok (TP)
Overworld: Minish Cap
Story Moment: Beneath the Waves (WW)
Tune: Overworld Theme (TLoZ)
Secret: Second Quest (TLoZ)
Dungeon: Goron Mines (TP)
Enemy: Octorok
Supporting Character: Midna (TP)
Ganon: Ocarina of Time

Feel free to rant all you want.

EDIT: I'm gonna make my own lists, I suppose.

Games:
13: AoL
12: FSA
11: PH
10: WW
9: TP
8: OoS
7: MC
6: OoA
5: TLoZ
4: LA
3: LttP
2: MM
1: OoT

Seeing TP lose to all four games to be released on the GB/GBA makes me happy. Smiley

Best...
Weapon: Sword
Hook: Light/Dark World (LttP) (Wow, I actually agree with NP on something)
Item: Ocarina
Princess Zelda: OoT
Boss: Smog (OoA)
Overworld: Oracle of Ages
Story Moment: Zelda/Sheik revealing
Tune: Ballad of the wind fish (LA)
Secret: None
Dungeon: Shadow Temple (OoT)
Enemy: Octorok
Supporting Character: Ezlo (MC)
Ganon: Ocarina of Time

Boss: Goht (lmfao)
Overworld: A Link to the Past
Story Moment: OoT ending
Tune: Stone Tower
Secret: Arwings (oh, and Cen says he knows how to do this without AR, but refuses to tell. Not sure about the validity, but w/e)
Dungeon: Fire Temple
Enemy: Guay
Supporting Character: Sheik
Ganon: Ocarina of Time

Sorry, the best Zelda in the second list is actually the best Princess Zelda.  My bad for not putting that.

I realized that immediately after and edited it. I'm surprised you saw it.

This is art because the music is classical music, and the graphics are done with a pen. The story is something about a woman. I could not understand much of this to be honest, which makes it even more likely to be an art.

I can't really decide what I should have after the top 5, so that should probably be changed a bit.

1. ALttP (First Zelda game we got in our home. Great music, great graphics, 2D is awesome, I love this game!)
2. LA (Best GBx game there is, no question about it. I've finished this game endless of times and was the first Zelda game I owned.)
3/4. OoA/OoS (Keeping the graphics and gameplay from LA make these two awesome at once.)
5. MM (I like this more than for example OoT because of the more sidequests and stuff to do. Awesome game.)
6/7 LoZ/AoL (I'm having a hard time to decide these two. They are overall two great games and a bit harder than the rest, which I like!)
8. TWW (I hate the boat, but there are so many sidequests and stuff to do, which I love.)
9. OoT (Highly overrated, but it isn't a bad game at all.)
10. FSA (I love the ALttP style and it's a fun multiplayer if you can get some more people that is...)
11. TP (The expectations were too high for this game, it was way too easy for example.)
12. MC (Lot of stuff to do at least, that's good. But this game just didn't do it for me...)
13. PH (Could have been tons of times better than it became. Controls were often annoying, stupid boat, no good music, no heart piece etc.)
14. FS (Stop forgetting this game, morons!! The "only" reason to why it's down here is because of the fact that you can't play it alone.)

Don't care about the others. Also, ALttP is overrated tripe. People only like it because of nostalgia. Smiley

If anything Adventures of Link is by far the most underrated Zelda game ever. At least with LA, most people don't hate it and will recomend it to other people.

I for one think that there are no glitches in OoT. It's just gameshark codes.

RBA stands for Rare Bird Adventure. We call it that because we need to get the blue cucco in order to use it.

1. Ocarina of Time
2. A Link to the Past
3. Wind Waker


Those are the top Zeldas there.

Nintendo Power has an alright list in my opinion. Why is Wind Waker behind Twilight Princess? Twilight Princess brought nothing new to the series and seemed to remove things like the magic bar, mirror shield, element arrows, and non-linear gameplay.

<@Swordless> Have you had this problem before? A game not starting until you cleaned it?
