>Zelda
Depends, on wether 2D or 3D.
For 2D start with A Link to the Past, for 3D start with Ocarina of Time. After that work your way through to the modern games. The NES games are neat but I would not recommend them as a starting point.
Personal recommendations: A Link between Worlds, Twilight Princess, Link's Awakening, Wind Waker, Majoras Mask.

>Star Fox
Star Fox 64, definetly Star Fox 64, then try Star Fox on the SNES.
The 3DS remaster for 64 is a good way to play it, too. (Same for OoT and MM)
These two are also the ones I would recommend. Assault is fine too but it comes with its flaws. Adventures is a Zelda clone and no "real" Star Fox, not a bad game, but not essential.

>Metroid
Start with Super Metroid, period.
You could do a 2D/3D differentation here like I did with Zelda, but do start 2D here.
3D, just start with Prime and work yourself through the trilogy. For other 2D Metroids move on to the GBA titles. The GB and NES Metroids are, again, neat games, but I would not recommend them as a start.
Recommendations: Super Metroid, Metroid Prime.

>Fire Emblem
Never got into them myself so I cannot say anything here. Maybe some other Anon could fill the gap.

>Donkey Kong
Depends, classic DK? Start with Donkey Kong ('94) on the Gameboy, then move backwards to the NES.
DK Country: Start with DKC, then just go through the series, including Returns and Tropical Freeze. Returns has a 3DS version if you don't like motion controls.
DK64 gets a lot of flak for being too much of a collectathon, I would say look into it and if you like what you see, play it, it is a good game nonetheless, but not essential.
Personal recommendations: DKC, DKC2, DKCR3D.
