Not counting the multiplayer games, or Twilight Princess and Spirit Tracks which I haven't played in ages.
Link's Awakening is a
special game. It's one of those rare games that I think really has something important to say. Even setting aside its metanarrative, the world is magical.
A Link Between Worlds has enough of a story to be epic and entertaining, and is mainly concerned with refining 2D Zelda's game formula to a golden sheen. It makes A Link to the Past nearly fully irrelevant for me.
Minish Cap and Phantom Hourglass are both really fun, but I'd give the edge to PH for its inventiveness.
