I got the Legacy Collection, and I was a bit overwhelmed. I'm here to give you the best answer possible. The collection contains Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, MGS, MGS2: Sons of Liberty, MGS3: Snake Eater, Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of The Patriots & MGS Peace Walker. Get Ground Zeroes too. Your two opens are to play in Chronological Order, which would mean beginning with Snake Eater and concluding with Guns of The Patriots. Release order would mean beginning with Metal Gear and concluding with MGSV Ground Zeroes (if you get the latter.)
If you are curious, you can access Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 through the Snake Eater game menu, whilst the Metal Gear Solid and VR missions can be downloaded with the download voucher that comes with the collection. I suggest you plan in release order, so that you can enjoy the twists as they unveil themselves and play the series as Kojima intended them to be played, and so that you can enjoy the series as it evolves in story and mechanics.
MGS3, MGS: Peace Walker and MGSV are prequels in which the story centres around Naked Snake, and MG, MG2: Solid Snake, MGS, MGS2 and MGS4 tell the story of Solid Snake. They're related in a way, but I won't tell you that, since you probably should see for yourself. So, the series basically tells two stories - the story of a legend (prequels) and the second story of his legacy. I suggest you play Release Order for the reasons I mentioned. Enjoy the series!
