A QUEST!
As of recently I have made a decision to play and fully complete every Legend of Zelda game. It started out well with me beating The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, Minish Cap, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and that is where I get stuck. The rest of the games require me to buy a new system or the game which is kind of expensive at the moment, and my main concern is that my partner will not be pleased with me spending an exorbitant amount of money on these games and systems. Does anyone have a suggestion about how to save a bit on these things? I've already made plans to trade in my DS for a 3ds but still the costs are overwhelming.P.S. To get the rest i will need to buy a Game Cube, Wind Waker, Four Swords, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, Wii U, Hyrule Warriors, and of course the upcoming release

If you have a powerful enough computer you can emulate all the GameCube and Wii games. You'll still need a Wii U though to play Hyrule Warriors and the new Zelda game that's supposed to release this year sometime.Also, I'd recommend playing Twilight Princess on GameCube, not Wii. The GameCube version is the intended version and is vastly superior. I would also recommend playing Wind Waker HD on Wii U if you're going to buy the Wii U anyways. The increase in processing power of the Wii U allows for the ship to sail at a rate that doesn't make me want to kill myself.
I don't much care for Hyrule Warriors myself. It's a spin-off that crosses the themes of Zelda with the game mechanics of Dynasty Warriors. It doesn't take place in the same timeline as the other Zelda games does. It's considered to be in it's own universe. That said, Volga's pretty hot, so there's that.

Sounds pretty good, but i can't seem to find an emulator to work with the gamecube games. or its a completely different system than im used to and have to do a bit more research into it, any suggestions or tips would be helpful. anyway, thanks for the tip about wind waker, ill definitely take it into consideration. also, ive been looking at the 3DS release of Majora's Mask and was wondering if it is a worth while buy.

Dolphin is the emulator that you want. It can emulate both GameCube and Wii games. You'll need a pretty powerful computer to pull it off though. It's actually pretty cool because the emulator runs the games better than the consoles ever could. The emulator will allow you to play the games in HD, which is something that GameCubes and Wiis are incapable of.
I plan on picking up Majora's Mask 3D when it releases on Feb. 13. The main thing I want from Majora's Mask 3D would be a hero mode or master quest type mode after the fist playthrough. Otherwise it'll be pretty similar to the original but with a higher polygon count. They have changed at least one boss battle so far though.

I can personally attest to the options and power of the Dolphin Emulator. However you will have trouble playing Twilight Princess on it. I couldn't get it to work properly and suffered from unplayable lag whenever I entered Hyrule Field after about the 3rd major area. It worked great everywhere else though.

It looks like they fixed that in an update to the emulator sometime last year.
"As the player progress through the game, Hyrule Field will become progressively slower. See issue 720 and issue 2499. Previously, the "ZTP Hack" could be used to improve this issue. This patch has since been integrated into to the game's ini file. Fixed by 4.0-1767."
I haven't actually played Twilight Princess using Dolphin. My boyfriend did a few months back and he never mentioned anything about this problem. It was probably fixed by the time he played it.

A lot of the older games for the SNES, GAMECUBE, and WII are all available in the WII U digital store (Nintendoplay I think it is called)
So instead of buying all the systems chronologically you might be able to save yourself some money and get just the newest system.
I don't know if they have all of them, but they might
