Zelda Games Ranked by their Main Gameplay Gimmicks

This list excludes games that don't have a main gimmick/unique mechanic, such as Breath of the Wild or the first two games. This is also purely my opinion, though my thoughts are based primarily in how they affect the game as a whole. Also, the game I have not played a significant amount of (Oracle of Ages and Four Swords Adventures) are excluded.
