I believe Link to the Past is still the first game in the series according to the chronology.
Play it first. It's the best anyway :P

That sounds like a great idea. Are there any other outstanding LttP hacks I can check out? Also, if I wanted to get this game in cartridge format, would you suggest a specific one? There appear to be a few different types.

I gave WW another chance, and at the moment, I am to the Tower of the Gods. This game goes by surprisingly quickly if you just jump on the linear fast train. Of course by the time I end up fighting Ganon, I'm still going to have like 6 hearts. So to update my thoughts on the game, the beginning is.. no other way to put this.. shit. Once you meet the King of Red Lions, the game opens up and feels much more like Zelda. The dungeons are extremely linear but overall enjoyable. The bosses actually pack a bit of a punch -- which is nice. The game's combat (excluding bosses) seems very uninspired and dull. The combat is obviously catered towards the infantile and the inept. In light of that, the music is FANTASTIC. As I said before, the graphical style is not my taste, but it isn't without its charm (I much prefer the slightly less cartoony WW HD). I assumed I would hate the sailing, but instead I only find it slightly inconvenient. As a concept, it was well executed, and I believe if it is compared to the travel in other Zelda games, it is fairly balanced.
To summarize, this game as an independent entity is quite a decent (dare I say, good) game. However its very poor combat and linearity to the level of a platformer definitely don't rank it high on my Zelda list. At the moment I am playing on the GameCube, but I could see myself revisiting this game in the form of the graphically (IMO) improved WW HD. I may just have to drink a bit before I'm ready to suffer the beginning again.
