The Legend of Zelda Randomizer is the best one for me.
It's also becoming super popular on Twitch as of late. Usually around 1 to 3 thousand viewers at a time each day.
I currently have 50 different game seeds with the sword being available at the start of the game, and 50 others where I'll have to find it in the beginning.
This should keep me quite happy for a very long time. :)

@cylum Out of the several in this list, I think Metroid: Rogue Dawn and Castlevania: The Holy Relics stand out as having such professional levels of quality to their soundtracks, level designs, and graphical work that they feel like entirely new games.

IMO one of the best hacks out there is Rockman 4 Minus Infinity. It's hard as hell, even by Megaman standards (I had to save-state literally every 5 seconds just to get through it), but look past the difficulty and you'll get one of the best hacks I can think of.
