I own a DS and a computer only, so this might be somewhat limited.

Zelda (a tie between Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, because those are the only games I've played)
Kingdom Hearts (358/2 Days)
Touhou (MoF... or DDC... or EoSD... or PCB... whatever, I'll just choose all of them)
Shin Megami Tensei (Devil Survivor 2)
Minecraft
Mario(Paper Mario, on an emulator)

ADD(ITIVE BLEND):V:
Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City
Okamiden

@ Nitori

What kind of DS you have? Pre-DSi? if so then you have a GBA slot aye?
If yes, then hunt down the GBA version of LoZ: A Link to the Past.
actually...Might be impossible now-a-days...
Otherwise, get a Wii and get the virtual console version of it.
Or...if there is an emulator, get it.
ALttP is one of the better Zelda games. Of Course I would also say Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are good starters for the rest of the series.

Since you've played Paper Mario on an emulator, that means you have access to other N64 titles, yes?
I think I'm in the same mindset as Cucoo when I plead "Don't let Spirit Tracks be your favorite Zelda!"
Ocarina of Time and Majora's mask are both great N64 games. Give 'em a go! ^.^

(Also follow Cucoo's suggestion and emulate the GBA version of A Link to the Past. Visual Boy Advance is a great GBA emulator.)

@ Cucoo

Nah, I have a DSi XL, so GBA games are out of the question.
I do have a GBC emulator on my DS, and I'm currently playing Oracle of Ages and Oracles of Seasons with it.
But I haven't finished them yet, so I don't count them here.

@MegaMooseJam

Yeah, I have them on my computer. But the same things applies here - I haven't finished them yet. (I'm still in Deku form in MM, and I seem to have restarted OoT when I wasn't looking. I'm just inside the Deku Tree there.)

I used to play them a lot; playing it almost nonstop at home, and playing games on my DS when at school. But then Touhou happened, and I got kind of busy between playing Touhou and doing work for school. And I don't like playing games only sometimes; I forget what I'm doing and spend at least half of the game running around confused.

Is Spirit Tracks really that bad? I remember enjoying it a lot. Though I doubt if it still is going to be my fav once I finish OoT/MM.

I do think I forgot some games though...:
Etrian Odyssey (The Drowned City) and Okamiden are part of the list too.

@ Nitori

Compared to all the other Zelda games, it's an abomination.
It plays like PH sure, but its far too linear path-like with the fact you are limited to the train's paths.
Of course this is from my aspect after playing every Zelda to completion except the first and second ones. ST...just...is soooo outta place in the Zelda universe. I played it and liked the music (and how you played the instrument.) and final boss. Other than that...I didn't really like in the end how it turned out. I'll be honest, when I heard the title, I thought the train wouldn't be limited by tracks, I thought you would be able to place the tracks via some magic map thing and then proceed. Instead...they limited it...

I could go on for a rant about ST...

Anyway, you're playing OoA and OoS? Oh gawds those two together are beautiful. Yes, you are basically playing some of the best Zelda games in the series. Also if you can find it, get Link's Awakening DX (I say DX cause color and a certain special dungeon thing that helps...)

But do get ALttP
That one is the one with the true backstory as I call it for the series.

Gahaha! Calling it an abomination is kinda mean,
but yes, it is very lacking in the overworld exploration aspect that most Zelda games embrace.

And Nitori, you've just reminded me of a great series I need to add onto my list:
Etrian Odyssey (Heroes of Lagaard)
