How many times will people get this wrong?
How is Link's Awakening better than Link's Awakening DX?
How is Wind Waker better than Wind Waker HD? (I haven't played Wind Waker HD, so maybe it really is worse.)
How is Ocarina of Time better than Ocarina of Time 3D?
Any top 10 list that messes this up loses a lot of credibility. Before you say "but they included videos of the newer versions", I argue that the video production staff for this video just grabbed whatever footage of the game was the easiest to find. They probably already had video lying around of WW HD and LA DX, so they put that in. edit: I was wrong on this. See the quote in this post.
These lists are of the BEST Zelda games. If Link's Awakening is your #3 best Zelda game, I have a pick for your #2 or #1 slot. It's called Link's Awakening DX, and it is better than Link's Awakening. It is fully in color and has an extra optional dungeon.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is a better game than the original Ocarina of Time. The graphics are much better. The biggest complaint about the original game (the Water Temple) has been addressed in a subtle and unobtrusive way. (They changed the temple by
.) The iron boots are now an item rather than equipment, and they can be added and removed with the press of a single button. OoT 3D runs at 30fps, rather than the 20fps or less that the N64 version ran at.
The only legitimate argument I've ever seen on why OoT is better than OoT 3D is that the atmosphere of the game is different in certain spots. Some buildings in Hyrule Castle Town were darker in the original game, and one of the boss fights (
) was darker as well. I disagree with this argument because I found the new game to be plenty atmospheric in its own way, including additional graphical flourishes that weren't in the original game.
Wind Waker HD is on the shakiest ground -- you could definitely argue that the graphics of the original had more charm.
If you think the original Ocarina of Time (not the 3D version) is the best game ever (not just your favorite game, but the objective best game ever), why? What does OoT offer that OoT 3D doesn't do at the same level or higher?

edit:
Not going to get into it with you about how opinions like which Zelda is best can't be wrong, but I feel something needs to be explained about the GT Top 10 Zelda list.
We considered OoT3D/OoT/MQ, LA/LA DX, and TWW/TWW HD as the "same game". If you watched the video, we use OoT 3D footage for the OoT entry, LA DX footage for the LA entry, and TWW HD footage for TWW entry.
As to why somebody might the original over the other...there are plenty of reasons. Some might prefer the original interpretation of TWW's visuals over the HD alteration.
