Content rich and classic.

My least favorite.

Metroid, but also Kirby.

Metroid 1 if it was good

Optionally the HD version on the WiiU.

Metroid 4. More linear but still a Metroid game at its core.

If you don't like planes, you might not be into it. But if you do, every Ace Combat on the PS2 is a treat to play. I can't choose between Zero and 04.

Before Pizza Tower, we had this.

The best 3D Zelda.

Chrono Trigger's loosely related sequel. It would be good to play Chrono Trigger first, but it's not necessary. A very unique battle system and a neat story.

My personal favorite PlayStation game.

It's hard to go wrong with this one.

Rawket lawnchairrrrr

I wouldn't shame you for playing with rewind.

I personally recommend playing this with the MaternalBound Redux ROM hack. I really love this game after having played it.

You can skip Metroid 2. Metroid 3 shows its age, but remains a core title in the metroidvania genre.

Or, optionally the GBA version. Extra dungeon and some minor QoL changes.
IMO the best 2D Zelda.
