Legend of Zelda Games I've Played

Ocarina of Time - first Zelda game I ever played. Left a lasting impression on me due to being one of the earliest games with a fully 3D world I played and having a thrilling atmosphere.
Majora's Mask - second Zelda Game I played. I really enjoyed the transformation ability in this game.
Twilight Princess - One of my favorite Zelda games. You can pick up cats and dogs!!! Also it's beautiful and I love Midna.
Skyward Sword - My favorite Zelda game. I love the sword mechanic, Ghirahim, and Fi especially. Dislikes: toe monster, overuse of rehashing locations and dungeons. I think things like having two entirely separate dungeons in the same area were great (eg. The SkyView Temple and the Ancient Cistern both being in Faron Woods), but I didn't much care for things like going through SkyView Temple a second time.
Hyrule Warriors- I just enjoy being able to play all sorts of Zelda characters besides Link. Especially Ghirahim. Fight fight fight!
Wind Waker - This game has probably my favorite iteration of Ganondorf, Link, and Zelda. Tetra is great, and I love how expansive this world is. The graphics are beautiful and inventive, and there's a fair amount of haunting and evocative music. I love the storyline for this game.
A Link to The Past - I played this because it's kind-of-sequel, A Link Between Worlds, was going to be released, and I wanted to know what the original was like before playing that one. This is still an amazingly fun game despite how old it is. It's amazing how they used such minimal story and images to really evoke a story and mood. There are all sorts of surprises to find in this game. Also Bunny Link is best Link haha...
A Link Between Worlds - I love 3D, so I loved the 3D gimmick in this game. The storyline was decent too, though I think the original's better. I still thought it made a worthy sequel, however. Yuga worked fine for me as a villain--not my favorite, but I thought he was reasonably intriguing. The music in this game is some of my favorite.
Minish Cap - I find Vaati an absolutely fascinating villain, and this is a thoroughly enjoyable game. I love the Minish! I don't recall whether or not I ever finished the last dungeon. I think I did? But I don't know for sure.
Breath of the Wild - Better Skyrim. Solid game design. Beautiful visuals, varied gameplay, and the most expansive overworld ever make this a worthwhile game, though the story lacked a certain something for me (a compelling villain backstory--I just like cool villains). I love the lynels, though. They're so majestic! The dungeons can be a bit visually repetitive, and the base game is a little too easy to beat in my opinion, though that would have been less of an issue to me if the villain had had more pizzazz. I enjoyed the puzzles, though.
I've played some of the other games, but didn't finish the story for them. I think that's all the ones I finished, however (though I remain slightly uncertain about Minish Cap).
