I hate rating games I think its horrible, but screw it:
OoT: 5
MM: OVER 9000!!!
WW: 5
TP: 5
SS: 4
I love all the games though, only reason I gave SS a 4 is because its probably my least favorite, but I still found it to be a great game. If I had to be fair I'd have given it a 5 if I wasn't comparing it to other Zeldas
Boss Conquest and Epic Gamers on YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCr-BdNM7x84aTBodCXQNlOg Also Majora's Mask is the best game ever! Search your feelings you know it to be true!
OoT: 3.5 A solid game, but nearly every Zelda game afterwards did it better
MM: 4.5 Incredible, but the countdown got incredibly annoying during dungeons, but it worked nicely for sidequests.
WW: 4.5 This game was flawed, but it was still incredible. I love the great sea and the combat wa always fun
TP: n/a
SS: n/a
I probably should play TP and SS, but I haven't got around to it yet
the onse I've played
OoT3D: 4.3 not much replayability to me
TP: 5 my favorite 3D Zelda
SS: 3.9 good but, once again, I've played with old messed up Wii remotes
goodbyes are a sad part of life but for every end there's a new beggining so one must never stop looking forward to the next dawn
now working at IBM as helpdesk analyst my Backloggery
Ocarina of Time: 5 (Especially the new 3DS version)
Majora's Mask: 5 (My favorite)
Wind Waker: 3 (Claustrophobic or open and empty with not a lot inbetween)
Twilight Princess: 3 (Graphics haven't aged well, game was too easy and too linear with little diversions)
Skyward Sword: 2 (Controls were good and puzzles were refreshingly difficult, but graphics were ugly, Fi is the most annoying character ever, story made no sense, and the game was slow and linear to a painful degree)
OK scores are in! Sorry it took so long, I totally forgot about it! The results are................................................
Ocarina of Time in first with an average of 4.63
Majora's Mask in second with 4.48
Skyward Sword in a close third, 4.42
Wind Waker, fourth, 4.21
and Twilight Princess in last with an average of 4.09

It may not hold up to the more recent games that nailed side quests, the 3D over world, etc., but It's an undying classic game that is still beautiful almost 20 years later. Gameplay is great, the music is some of the best in the series. Majora's Mask: 3.5/5
Everyone seems to love it and call it their favorite, but I don't think it's the best. It was definitely great change of pace with the three day time travel, the masks, and the dark overtone, but the dungeons are seriously lacking. Side quests are much improved when compared to OoT. Wind Waker: 5/5
I don't get why this was hated back when it was first released, this is my favorite 3D Legend of Zelda experience on the console so far. The art style is charming, the sea travel is great at making you feel like your on an adventure, while also giving more incentive to explore and actually find reward. Twilight Princess: 3.5/5
The gamecube version is much better than the Wii version in my opinion. Art style was muddled and dark, but I enjoyed the story of the game. The over world felt empty though. Skyward Sword: 3.5/5
I actually enjoyed this game a lot even though I tend to hate motion controls. I liked the water color art style, the relationship between Link and Zelda, but there were parts of the game I thought could be better.
Ocarina of Time: 4.5
Majora's Mask: 3 (Just wasn't a huge fan of the format of this game, didn't feel like a traditional Zelda game)
Wind Waker: 4
Twilight Princess: 4
Skyward Sword: N/A (Never liked games that fully relied on motion controls, because of that I'll never play this game unless it's re-released with traditional controls somewhere down the road)
@Howard24U
So you're not going to play Skyward sword just because of the controls (which work wonderfully by the way)? Really dumb reason to not play a game.
Yeah, pretty sure that my complete dislike for the entire control method of the game is plenty enough reason to not play it. What a stupid comment... And why again do I need to justify my explanation for you?
What about me not playing Just Dance 2014 because I don't like having to dance while playing video games. Is that a valid reason, or is that dumb too?
Or how about the fact that I don't listen to Avenged Sevenfold only because I don't like heavy metal music? Or how about how I don't eat French Onion Soup simply because I have a strong distaste onions? Or how about how I don't compete in road races simply because I don't like running? I guess I didn't realize that choosing not to something that is completely optional, just because you don't like doing, it is no longer a valid excuse.
Oh, and last check, there are roughly 98,000,000 other Wii owners that haven't played Skyward Sword for one reason or another. Please go ahead and justify why each one of their own personal reasons for not playing the game is "really dumb" as well.
@Howard24U
The difference is that you've already rated the other Zelda games fairly highly and were willing to play through them. Then just ignore Skyward Sword entirely because you want to make a point about Motion Controls. To borrow one of your examples it's like being an active member of a soup enthusiasts forum, commenting on a thread about rating French soups and then saying you've never tried French Onion because you hate Onions.
You can get Skyward Sword for pretty cheap now, just try it.

I actually enjoyed your analogy. Are there soup enthusiasts forums out there? Mmm. Soup.
It's not a money issue, I know I could get it cheaply. But to offer another example, I'm not a big fan of traditional PC gaming either due to the Mouse/Keyboard controls (and having to play on a computer monitor, and sit at a desk...). If the next Zelda game required that I use a mouse and keyboard and play it on a computer, I would pass on that too. Now if my argument for not playing Skyward Sword was that I didn't like the art direction, I would say that that was a questionable reason.

Well if that was the case and you had a PC that could play it, it was cheap and the metacritic score was in the 90s... yeah, I'd say that's madness. If you're into Zelda and you have the gear to play it then why not?

@skywake To turn the tables on you, why haven't you played Majora's Mask?
Also, to add my complexity to my preferences. I've played and enjoyed almost all of the portable Zelda titles (I may have skipped either ages or seasons, but I don't remember which). However, I have not played ALBW... Simply because I don't like my 3DS.
I've owned it from shortly after launch, and I currently own 1 game for it. I have I think 20 total hours of gameplay on it (vs. around 450 hours on my Wii U in a year less time), and 15 of those hours were Super Mario 64 DS. I don't really know why I don't enjoy the 3DS, especially since I loved my DS Lite. I think it has something to do with the circle pad which cramps my thumb and the 3D effect (which although can be turned off) is difficult for me to use for any period of more than say 5-10 minutes. Combine these two reasons with my understanding that several of the dungeons in ALBW almost required the use of the 3D effect to figure things out, and I just haven't played it.
