>RBY = Zelda NES
First games in their series and heavily flawed but nostalgic. Some elements of OoT but not as much
>GSC = A Link to the Past
Huge, early improvements that are still outdated
>RSE = Majora's Mask
Early "experimental" entries that eventually got vindicated
>DPPt = Zelda II
Shit
>HGSS = Ocarina of Time
Generally agreed among both normies and core gamers to be the high point of the series
>BWB2W2 = Wind Waker
"Experimental" games worshipped by millennial contrarian hipsters but dismissed by normies
>XY = Twilight Princess
Linear, hand-holdy and nostalgic games despised by millennial contrarian hipsters
>ORAS = Skyward Sword
Same, but with less nostalgia
