Incredible for its time and still holding up well, but I can't in good conscience still call it the best of 2D Zelda. To do so would be to sell the likes of Link Between Worlds and the Oracle games a bit too short, and Link to the Past a bit too long. Its dungeons have cool ideas but haven't quite reached their final forms. Link's sword swing feels adequate, but inferior to that of the games to follow and even to Zelda 1, at least to me. For better or for worse, Link to the Past began the redefinition of items in the Zelda franchise and with that redefinition brought both the potential of puzzles and the shackles linearity.
