Part of what makes the Zelda series special is that there's no such thing as a bad Zelda game - every Zelda game is fun to play and has something unique to offer. So it's hard for me to pick a favorite. I might pick ALttP, Link's Awakening, OoT, Wind Waker, or TP depending on my mood.
@Evil Yoshi Toes Ocarina is good stuff indeed! It's quite literally a fairy tale, considering the role fairies play in the plot and gameplay. You mentioned all the detail put into the game. One of my favorite things about OoT are all the fun little Easter eggs - changing the pitch of the Ocarina, seeing the portraits of Mario characters in the courtyard, or watching different characters react to masks you're wearing.
MM weaves an intricate web of character dynamics - each character has their own daily routine and relationships with other characters. I prefer OoT's gameplay, but MM is a masterpiece in its own way. You really ought to check it out!
I like ALttP a lot too - it builds on the first Zelda game but makes everything bigger and better, laying a foundation for other future Zelda games. The Light World-Dark World duality is really cool too.
@Vert I really need to play BotW! It's at the top of the list of games I'd play if I got a Switch. I usually enjoy exploration-heavy games, and my understanding is BotW puts a huge emphasis on exploration.
@GeneralGuy OoT's soundtrack is undoubtedly one of the Greatest Of All Time! And yeah, Kokiri Forest is one of the best video game training areas there's been - it organically introduces some highly innovative gameplay mechanics and gives you a vibrant and non-threatening environment to practice them in. It's a lot more fun than "hey, take this long-winded unskippable tutorial" - especially if you've played the game before. The big variety of dungeons is a plus too.
