This one was kind of easy for me: Vote for the only 3 I've ever played.

Minish Cap was charming and the graphics were good and it was happy and it was on the GBA and it was good

The thing about the other Gameboy Zeldas that aren't Link's Awakening is that I always remember having a good time playing them, but I also can't ever remember a single damn thing about them after I finish them, even after multiple playthroughs.  Except for the fact that Sigma was the last boss of Seasons, anyway.

Now that I'm playing Twilight Princess I want to change one of those to Twilight Princess but I'm worried about lowering the vote count of any of them.

Voted OG, LttP, Awakening.

Tried to play Majora's Mask awhile back but lost my save and didn't finish it.  Keep hearing good things.

Also tried to play Minish Cap, but the pace was too slow.  It may look like Classic Zelda but it doesn't play like it.  Never got around to the Oracle games; any good?  I'm beginning to think the closest thing I'll ever find to classic Zelda is something like Gunman's Proof or Soul Blazer.  (Haven't played them either.  But they're on my list.)

Other'n that...

OoT -- decent enough but overrated.  Wish they'd quit trying to fucking duplicate it because it's not as good as they think it is.

WW -- Really liked this one rather a lot; the graphical style and the physics are both great.  Suffers from the usual Zelda Formula Problems, and a Zelda game where you just have a giant empty world to drift around instead of genuine exploration kind of misses the point of Zelda.

TP -- Got sick of fishing and quit.  There was a good game in there somewhere; it did a decent enough job with the dual-world premise, and it was the first Zelda game in ages where I really felt free to explore.  But too much bullshit.

Four Swords -- Sharkey kept throwing me into a wall.

Oracles started as a remake of Original Recipe with Awakening gameplay and turned into something else.  Ages started as a remake of OoT with Awakening gameplay and turned into something else.  For the most part they both maintain the feel of their source materials though, so you'll probably enjoy Seasons and... be okay with Ages.

Although if you tire of the worldswitching mechanic then Seasons might end up giving you a conniption; I'll let you take a wild guess what the central conceit of THAT game is.

(One nice thing about SS is that it really doesn't shove your face into any sort of dual-world thing, unless you count the hub area.  The less-nice thing is that it DOES use pretty much every previously introduced dual-world concept at least once.)

Now that I'm some way into it I can definitely see how that can be the bottom line.  They made a great game engine but unfortunately it ended up stuck to 40 hours of terrible, terrible content.

Don't feel bad.  I'm the only one who voted for Four Swords Adventures.  Mainly because I think I'm the only one who actually got a group of friends together with GBAs and link cables.

That game is like Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers for the Gamecube era.  If only it had seen life in the Wii/DS era.

I am basically shocked no indie dev has made a straight ripoff of Four Swords Adventure to my knowledge and offered up a four pack on steam.

I just realized that if three more of you bozos realized how great Wind Waker was, I'd have made a trifecta bet.

It'd have been in my top five, honestly, just not my top three.
