GameCube: 1) Zelda Wind Waker! 2) Soul Calibur II! 3) Hard to pick between Mario Sunshine, Pokemon Colosseum, or Smash Bros Melee!
VC (since that's how I'll mention the old classic systems; never had a NES, SNES broke long time ago, traded in N64):
VC NES: 1) Super Mario Bros 3! 2) Kirby's Advetnure; since its one of my favorite VC NES games! 3) Lots of others like Castlevania's & Ninja Gaiden's, Punch-Out!
VC SNES: 1) Zelda A Link to the Past! 2) Donkey Kong Country! 3) Super Mario World... have to add a #4 though) TMNT IV Turtles in Time!
VC N64: 1) Zelda Ocarina of Time! 2) Zelda Majora's Mask! 3) Super Mario 64!
GameBoy Color: 1) Pokemon Gold... but love all color versions! 2) Zelda Link's Awakening! Zelda Oracles of Ages... my pick over oracle of Seasons!
GameBoy Advance: 1) Zelda Minish Cap... I'd say ALTTP/FS but I mentioned my love for ALTTP already! 2) Pokemon Leaf Green... my pick even if I also love Ruby & Sapphire! 3) Disney's Aladdin... had for the SNES & was my favorite game; not to mention its one of my all time favorite Disney movies, since I love all Disney classics!
DS: 1) Zelda Phantom Hourglass! 2) Pokemon Diamond! 3) Lots of picks from Crosswords, Super Princess Peach, Yoshi's Island, Castlevania Order of Ecclesia, Ultimate Mortal Kombat!

How can u play that game 10 times!? Each runthru takes like 30-40 hours! (My 1st took like 60+ hours )

First I like re-playing Zelda games for the fun of it; & I'm a Zelda veteran & know the games inside & out & can play through pretty fast or take my time! In the course of these 3 years, since I had my Wii & Zelda TP since Christmas 2006; it takes me a 2-3 month basis to finish TP... & a few months until I decide to play it again! it's just purely fun & epic as my other favorites; Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, & of course A Link to the Past!!
(I can beat ALttP in little as 80 hours; being I did that in one day! Granted ALttP was my first Zelda game!)

80 hours… in one day? Okay, you must be a serious Zelda fan, because I don't see that happening without an ocarina.

Yep; I'm just that fast of a player!
Back in the old 1990's when I had it for the SNES (mine's broken still); I couldn't even get past part of Turtle Rock! Since then I know where everything is in the game inside & out!

How I do it so fast you ask: I can beat a dungeon within 30-33 minutes... 10-20 for any side quest! So you do the time... if you count every item & heart piece!
Honestly though I did it in one whole day; my time spent was on my Wii Message Board saying at least around the 80 hour mark! Got up early I guess & didn't stop until early morning... I did take a rests in between though!

I also love dashing all over the place with the Pegasus Boots; (I'd wish those return in a 3D Zelda game & you didn't have to use the freaking horse)!
And of course the Flute is a handy item to fly from spot to spot if you know where you want to go next!

[quote=Adam]NES: 1) Link's Adventure 2) Legend of Zelda 3) Marble Madness

You played for more than three straight days, you realize. This isn't a "get up early and finish late" thing. This is missing three nights of sleep, 10 or 11 meals, and an entire weekend's worth of human interaction.
