"para Z2 isn't iconic" uhhh, the temple theme? Error? yeah it is, shut up
Explanations:

OoT: It's #1, duh, we don't have to have a debate about this I don't think
LttP: I already kinda laid it out, I think this is the oldest game that people actually think of when they think of a generic Zelda game, it really just fits the layout and structure and vibe way more than Z1 does
BotW: It's BotW, it's just so enormously popular and such a huge shift in the series that it kinda bulldozes everything else
MM: I actually fucked up and this should be #3 above BotW. People are absolutely NUTS for not including this in the top 4 imo, like, what is wrong with you? are you kidding me? why are people underestimating Majora's Mask for absolutely no reason? this is completely baffling to me. This game is held up as such an iconic game that it's challenging LttP for #2. I was just at a con and I saw multiple MM-related costumes and merch (less than BotW though which is why I currently have BotW higher)
WW: The cel shading is pulling a lot of weight here, Toon Link's his own damn character in Smash
Z1: Yeah it's still high because of how many series staples it introduces but again, honestly, how much Z1-specific art have you seen lately? How many people have you seen talk about it or write essays about it?
TP: idk am I telling on myself that I don't know where to rank this game? I hate it and I don't remember anything from it and I find it hard to believe that other people remember stuff from this game but uhhhh it has Wolf Link and Midna in it so okay, I guess it's up there
TotK: I have NO FUCKING IDEA what to do with this because I can't think of what's specifically iconic from it other than hot Ganondorf and making goofy ass shit with giant flaming dicks and posting it on the internet. It feels like an addendum to BotW and BotW deserves most of the credit
LA: It's a little too offbeat and I don't really see a lot of memes or iconic things about this game that often but it still kinda holds a position of privilege as one of the Classic Zeldas
Z2: Like I said it's more iconic than you think. The temple theme. Error. Come on
Everything else: it's not iconic. Nobody remembers skyward sword. Nobody remembers the oracle games. gimme a break
