So I just got a SNES from my friend and I have no clue what games to get...I already know there's a huge great library, but I don't know which are the must-have games... Right now I have Zelda: LttP, Illusion of Gia, and some NCAA Basketball game. Please help with recommendations, thanks.

Well Zelda LttP is my all-time favorite game, so that's a good start. Other ones you should definitely get are Super Mario World 1 and 2, Donkey Kong Country, Final Fantasy 3 (well it's called 3 on the north american release), and Chrono Trigger (this one will probably run you 60 to 100 bucks though)

The super Star Wars trilogy is really really good too! If you like the punch-out series, super punch out is great! Also one of the best games out there is MEGA MAN X!

Super Mario All Stars, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, & 3, Arkanoid, Super Mario World 1&2, and Super Mario Kart are good for the SNES.

You got a SNES? You're a little late, but who cares. Get these games for sure: -Super Mario World -Chrono Trigger -SNES Mario Kart -The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past There are tons of great games out there, but these are the best IMO.

Thanks for lists guys. I have another question though. My friend didn't even have any controllers for me, so is buying these 3rd party ones online a good choice? Does anyone know if they work fine?

Depends on what brand. Ascii is a good 3rd party brand.

All of the essential, must-play games I would have mentioned are already covered, but there are a few honorable mentions that I haven't seen:

Super Bomberman 2 (strategy)

Bust-A-Move (puzzle)

Super Punch-Out!! (boxing [this one being the best])

Earthworm Jim (platform/action)

The journey now begins CheezitKid, for you have to buy them all. Not really, but if you want the absolute 100% best collection, you'll have to be spending top dollar on Amazon or eBay.

Here are some of the greatest games to get you going: Super Mario All Stars, Super Mario World, Secret of Mana, Super Star Wars, Chrono Trigger, F-Zero, NBA Jam, and Mortal Kombat 2.
