I found A Link Between Worlds to be a very liberating experience with very little of the game feeling like "work" or "something I have to do". Puzzles are satisfying, upgrades and items give you meaningful powers and the value of rupees is actually very real in this game, as the amount of rupees you have directly influences the amount of items you can carry.
Anyways, I'm not trying to write a review or anything, I'm just saying the game is fun for fun.

I consider most puzzle games as tedious work, Braid and Portal are the only puzzle games where I've not felt like I was assigned the game as homework I think I will refrain from putting any Zelda games on the list for now. I like Zelda games, but the fact that they are RPGs which involve collecting currency (to some degree), I don't think they fit this list

I would have included other Zelda games if I thought that they weren't RPG's. ALBW is an exception IMO in the world of Zelda games because it is pure adventure and almost no work.
Also, Spelunky is a roguelike. If you don't consider roguelikes work, I'm proposing The Binding Of Isaac as well.

Buying items is a crutch, the best players steal everything

The Zelda games are very well appreciated globally, they don't need to star on every list ever. I know you can technically justify most games you already like to suit this list but I just don't see the need to put the Zeldas on here when they are already appreciated for so many other things.
I'm being intentionally nit-picky to keep the size of the list somewhat manageable (There are 17 Zelda games guys, 17!)

Spelunky, Dustforce and Brothers all feel like working another job though. The first 2 because of skill acquisition/requirement and the last because you're trudging through a world that isn't really all that exciting.
I'd argue Dustforce is still great though, but getting better and achieving S ranks to someone new to the game will feel like working another job
As for spelunky, I've never liked roguelike-likes, they feel too repetitive, which is one of the things you listed
Off the top of my head, the Wario Land series. Each one keeps it fresh within stages, as well as keeping it fresh between games.

If your list is meant to feature games that are composed of intrinsically fun gameplay mechanics, it is not universal, because fun is subjective.
That was my two cents.

Not sure if this violates any rule, but Souls series...?
One of the few games I actually have the patience to finish...multiple times.

Almost every Zelda game requires you to buy a key item. You're dum.

Cave Story is incredibly fun, and while it can be challenging at times, it never felt like a chore to play.
Knytt Stories is also an absolute joy. So easy to get lost in it, and the gameplay is incredibly simple and stripped down, making the whole zen nature of the game much more prominent.

Don't have anything off the top of my head, just wanted to say I love this topic. I'll have to check out the games I haven't played yet that are on the list.
Edit: On further thought I think Antichamber would make a good addition to the list.
