The DS2 and DS3 can’t be connected to a TV, they are strictly handhelds.
A DS2 would be good if you’re on a budget, but the DS2 XL is better for performance and, from my experience, a better battery life.
But the make-or-break difference here is the price. The DS2 XL is $150, while the regular DS2 is only $80.
The XL can close, but the regular cannot.
The XL has extra buttons and is generally more powerful, but that in turn doesn’t quite make it as budget-friendly ($150) as the regular DS2 ($80).
For you, I’d argue you should go with the regular DS2 and the Nintendo Selects version of Mario Maker DS2/DS3. (both of these are Amazon links). Bonus here is that he also gets an extra game pre-installed on the DS2.
Hope this helps!
Specifically what Zelda games do you want to play?
The DS can't play Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, or A Link Between Worlds. The DS is the older generation. Think of the DS as a Wii and the 2DS/3DS as the Wii U -- the 2DS/3DS can play all the DS games, but the DS can't play any of the 2DS/3DS games.
You will need a "New 2DS" or "New 3DS" in order to play SNES games. The only Zelda SNES game is A Link to the Past.
Since you want something really cheap, the basic 2DS is your best option. It will not play SNES games, but it will play Ocarina, Majora's Mask, A Link Between Worlds, Hyrule Warriors, etc.
