A Link to the Past is actually my favourite of all time. Cute hit it on the head, you can't go past how amazing this game STILL looks to this day. Currently playing Ocarina of Time 3D on the 3DS which is pretty cool
As far as the Wii Zeldas go I actually loved Wind Waker. I loved how they just went in the cell shading direction and managed to pull off a pretty sweet looking game. The little "tunes" when you're combo hitting a monster was awesome, as were the boss fights. I liked the sailing and never had too many problems with it, I got stuck at one point when I didn't know what to do next (I refuse to find walkthroughs for Zelda games) and EVENTUALLY figured out you needed to drop into a hurricane or something. I loved the little wand mechanic, the sounds and the facial expressions and how everything felt like a Zelda game even though it looked different. I finished it 100 percent. The final boss fight was epic as.
I played Twilight Princess once all the way through and haven't touched it again. It looked good, it felt very "Zelda" but turning into a Wolf and howling turned me off vs the wind waker. The shadow beasts were cool, got kind of tired when I had to kill a whole bunch to get out of those little red fenced areas. I like what they did with the fairy and the plot twist (Midna etc) and the end boss was pretty cool (except for the very very end, that was lame and SUPER easy) but yeah definitely didn't like the wolf thing, it sounded terrible too. I dunno, I can't really put my finger on it but I DEFINITELY preferred Wind Waker over Twilight Princess. Never really got stuck, it was pretty obvious what to do next. It's a good game, but yeah. Sorry Dox.
Needless to say I am going to buy Skyward Sword and thrash it, especially if half the reviews are true. In pretty much every Zelda, the same thing happens (Ganondorf is coming oh noes) but you have your "tool" which is generally what the game is named after (Wind Waker, Ocarina, etc). If the "tool" is fun to use and I love using it I think I enjoy the whole game more. ALL the items should to be cool (and different) and fun to use by the looks of things, and I love a good boss fight with fun mechanics. No doubt there'll be something I need to throw bombs at until it's stunned and I can smack it a few times with my sword (lol).
Sorry for the rant, really hope Skyward Sword is amazing. Long live Zelda!
