The only one I have ever played is the first one. I had a lot of fun playing through it and almost reached the level cap. Personally though I think "There's no greater gaming nirvana than playing The Legend Of Zelda. Especially Ocarina of Time, Link to the Past, Adventure of Link, the original, and, well pretty much all of the other games..."
I completely agree
The Legend Of Zelda's are my favorite games, to the point that I usually end up buying a new system so I can play the next Zelda game. lol
I just finished playing the main story line in Dragon Quest IX, And I have to say that it is my absolute favorite non zelda game! to the point that every game I've tried to get into playing today, just doesn't seem as good in comparison. I really loved being able to customize the look of my whole party.
