1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
This is such a stereotypical game to have in the first slot, but it has earned this position in every way that a game can earn it. It revolutionized a genre. I had friends in elementary school who I talked to every day about it. I heard the Ocarina songs in my sleep. I had a crush on Zelda. I was the Hero of Time.
2. Pokemon Silver
As great as Red and Blue were, these games were impossibly good. The introduction of day/night was, at the time, a feature which made the game amazing to me. I had a fantasy world which moved along with mine. It was also a game I played with my brother, both of us laying around our bedroom working our way through the same game a the same time.
3. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
I actually played this on the Xbox instead of the PC, since at the time I didn't have a PC that could run it. That meant no mods, no texture packs, no new faces for the horrible looking NPC's. But that didn't really matter to me - I had never really played PC games so I didn't know what I was missing.
I spent a huge amount of time playing this game, and I never once started the main story. I became rich by becoming a master of alchemy, which I did by stealing the equipment needed to make the best potions. I sold those for gold, and rose through the ranks of the Mage's Guild, and after that, the House Telvanni. Along the way I explored caves, forts, or did whatever else I felt like doing.
4. Fable II
Still my favorite 360 game. I loved the story in this one, but more so than that I loved the character and personality of the world. It had a surreal feel to it akin to the feeling I get when reading the Chronicles of Narnia.
I can't begin to express my appointment over Fable III.
5. Team Fortress 2
I think last time I checked I've put over 130 hours into this game. Addictive, simple, and fun. Probably the only FPS I've gotten really "good" at.

Yeah I've done this on Twitter, facebook and Google Plus, I've got, over 50 people or so to respond.
Of those, I believe 20 have had OoT on their list, and of course, it is the highest number.
Did some basic stats earlier
