These are all the games i played since 1995. I would have added ZaLia and Legend of Doom, but those aren't official titles. Faces of Evil is only for reference as i think the NES titles are better.

S

Link's awakening was my first Zelda so naturally it's on S.
OoT is there because of the straight forward temple structure. Having temples represent one element resonated so well with me.
The Oracle games are up there because of the change mechanics. I like when things change. Wind Waker is there because it is light hearted and the Rito. I like animal humans.
Twilight princess is there because of its seriousness and Link becomes a wolf. Change again.

A

Minish cap: I like the music and the aura, but 4 temples is too short.
Spirit tracks: I like the music and the technology but 4 temples is too short.
Link between worlds: I like that you can start the game in any order you want and the gimmick is great. It just didn't resonate well with me.
BotW: I like the good world and the Rito, now nice birdies, but it's too big.

B

LttP: I really could get into it. I finished it once but that pipe dungeon always breaks me.
MM: Too dark, too time pressury only 4 dungeons.
PHg: I hate that temple. Only 4 temples.
SS: I gave up on the imprisoned.
Totk: I am curretly with Tulin on the way up to the storm, but i really don't like the ssempling mechanic.

C

Z1: Frustrating. I played through it in The Legend of Doom. I played it many times but i can't get to like it.
Z2: Hard af. I never finished the original. But i finished Zelda again: Link is adventruesome which is really fun.
