I havent played every Zelda game but LttP gives you a huge power boost that really sells the Master Sword. Doubling your damage output and the long range Sword Beam is really impactful.

OoT made the biggest deal out of it, what with Ganondorf storming out Hyrule at night, Zelda desperately chucking the Ocarina at you, etc.

BotW's is really good though, too, for the opposite reason. It's just there and you can take it or leave it. But the gimmick where it drains your life and you have to have sufficiently upgraded to be able to handle it is a really cool way to give the player freedom while also maintaining a feeling of progression.

Edit: ignore everything I said about Windwaker. My memory is failing.

Problem with OoT is that taking the master sword actually causes Ganon's plan to work out in the short term and apparently leaves open a timeline where he wins

WW's jingle is entirely mistimed. LttP has the cool scene with the pendants and the jingle is lined up so Link draws the sword as its ends, which is cool.
Plus, the Master Sword actually feels super cool and powerful in that game, which other Zelda games just don't deliver on well, IMO.

This might get some hate, but Age of Calamity had a pretty damn good drawing the Master Sword scene.

Now that I think about it, I'd say Ocarina of Time.

I agree. I remember dying of anticipation to get behind the Door of Time when I first played as a kid.

Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, and Breath of the Wild are the three stand outs imo

Breath of the Wild.

For the first time in a long time, you actually had to earn the fuckin' thing, only this time in a much larger world and by doing something much different.

The master sword literally isn't even in the first game

Anyway. LttP because getting the master sword isn't the end. You get to upgrade it twice. The other games just kind of give it to you and are like lol have fun.

I suppose BotW would be better if you count the dlc.

You upgrade it in Wind Waker (though it's just cosmetic)

Agreed.

Here's one that might get even more hate: I think Twilight Princess has the best scene for drawing the sword. Spoilers, I guess?

https://youtu.be/0Kfa5qbYito

It feels incredibly powerful the way it reacts when you approach it, and the way it clears out the fog after just feels very impactful

That shouldn't get any hate at all.
TP arguably has the best presentation and story in the series

It's probably why I love it so much, lol. It kinda feels like an improved OoT to me, just wish the items had more usage outside their dungeons.

I dont find it quite as fun to play through as the others, it feels very long winded to just get going, but its presentation is undeniably epic, in every sense of the word

1st: WW, the whole black and white, time frozen...is this OoT setting gave me literal goose bumps.
2nd: LttP because it was the first Epic procurement of the master sword.
3rd: BotW. You see it early but might not be able to obtain it part makes it cool plus it is with the deku tree, making nostalgia OoT feels come out.
Honorable mention is OoT but I feel like it loses out because it is a time travel mechanic. I got the Master sword...I put it back...I got it again...I put it back again.

Wind Waker is easily the best. Raising the Tower of the Gods. Hyrule Castle frozen in time. The giant knight statues crossing their swords over you. Drawing the sword feels momentous.

Then there's the gut punch when you actually come to use the sword on Ganondorf and realise it was all for nothing. And then you set out on another quest to restore its power. Perfect.
