I think that Majora's Mask is my favourite, I think that it won me over with all of its character, and the setting felt like it rewarded an exploration of it.
I have played a fair share of the franchise: Legend of Zelda, Legend of Zelda 2, Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, Twilight Princess, Spirit Tracks, Skyward Sword, A Link Between Worlds, and a little Tri Force Heroes. I think that I actually might make an effort after my current units to finish the games I have not finished of them, and try and play the whole series in anticipation for Breath of the Wild.
If it is counted, one of my favourite games in recent years has been Hyrule Warriors, which is incredibly likable for the wide array of Zelda series components. And Legends made improvements of switching or commanding characters mid battle and Linkle.
