A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Twelveth. Man.
I think that the last game in the series I played was the fourth game, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, from 1993, 11 years before that.
EDIT: I did get the early version of that cartridge which had a neat screen-warp bug where if one hit Select just as one was transitioning across screens, once could skip across the entire screen and break the game in interesting ways, get into areas that one wasn't supposed to be in yet.
For anyone who hit the series much later, a timeline with YouTube playthroughs to see what they're like (excluding remakes on later systems):

There might be someone one here who has played through all of them, though if I had to bet, I'd guess not. That's a pretty large library.
I've played most of them, and minish cap is definitely the best imo. The music, story, world, and nostalgia were all there for me. I also think LOZ was at its peak in the 2D era.
Also special mention, crossbow training for wii is C tier and LOZ CD-i is definitely A tier because Morshu
