A Link to the Past is the correct answer to this question.
Chionos is mostly correct about the SNES entries being the best, although he has the wrong SNES entry listed as the best for the Mario series. The correct answer is Yoshi's Island.
Although many people didn't like it, Majora's Mask was the best experience for me. There's something about the ominous danger of the moon, combined with the many dark and depressing side quests makes it a black sheep of the Zelda series. I love it for that very reason.
Second is Link to the Past. Obvious reasoning is obvious.
I am honestly amazed at all the love A Link to the Past is getting in this thread.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Translation key for you:
Link to the Past is Final Fantasy VI.
Ocarina of Time is Final Fantasy VII.
Link Between Worlds is Bravely Default.
Adventure of Link is Final Fantasy II.
Link's Awakening is Final Fantasy IV.
Wind Waker is Final Fantasy X.
Wow, these actually match up pretty well. You could make this sort of comparison with almost every game in the series.

Majora's mask will always have my heart.

Yeah, you're right, that works much better. Very similar fan reactions there.
Majora's Mask is the one I can't really place. It would have to be a spinoff, due to the massive tone differences, but a beloved one. The only one I can think of is Crystal Chronicles, but I'm not sure the fan reactions are comparable.

Final Fantasy Tactics? They even came out at around the same time.
They do both take a very unique turn on the series in one way or another.
Tactics taking a step away FF with a heavily political story, something you simply did not see in the series.
Majora's Mask dropped the more fantastical style world in a world themed off the various stages of death, another kind of thing really not done in Zelda.
Yeah, I'll go with Tactics here, why not.
Egoraptor did a sequalits on A Link to the Past vs Ocarina of Time. Playing both games now, Ocarina of time is not as good as A Link to the Past. I am more of a fan of the Top down zelda games though, so I may be a tad baised. There is no shortage of people saying that a Link to the Past is their favourite.
That's a fun video and I agree with most of it. I'm only surprised because OoT is often herald as the "Greatest Game ever Made" so to see what I felt was the better game win in the poll is nice for a change.

Honestly, I think the OoT love has slowly decreased over the years. I see more and more people citing Majora's Mask as their favorite over it.
I only voted for one as I didn't realise it was a multi-vote. A Link to the Past is still my favourite despite a couple of others running it close. A Link Between Worlds takes second spot as it was just executed perfectly. I think it's purely nostalgia that keeps ALTTP at the top.
My third choice was difficult as I occasionally flit between Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess. I'm gonna go with the latter though as I prefer the more mature style of the game over OoT.

There can be only one!!
A Link to the Past
And FFVI sucks VII is best.
If I were to choose a number 2 and 3 it would be The Legend of Zelda and Ocarina of Time since those are the ones I've played the most of. I really need to play more windwaker.
