I think the Ocarina of Time was the better of the 2 Zelda games that came out on the N64. It was so good that I beat the game multiple times, unlocked all the hearts, found all the items including Biggoron’s sword. I also followed fake rumors about how to have link unlock all the Tri force on his palm but going back if that were possible, the story wouldn’t have made sense.
I haven’t played Tears of the Kingdom yet, but I loved Breath of the Wild. I enjoyed it so much that I beat all the shrines, found all the dragons, maxed out my equipment’s, found all the fairies, defeated all the lynel and rode all the ridable mounts including the Blupee horse before taking on Ganon.
Out of all the Zelda games I have played, I believe the Ocarina of Time and Breath of the wild should be in the top 3. If all the feedback is right about Tears of the Kingdom, then I believe those 3 games should be the top 3 Zelda games of all time. Those are also the games I would recommend to anyone that is interested in getting into the Zelda games though admittedly, I have not played the NES, SNES or the original Gameboy color Zelda games.
