If we’re counting 3DS remakes, I’m a number 6. Otherwise, I guess I’d be a number 9 through the WiiU iirc.
Number 1, but it was really Ocarina of Time that defined my childhood
5, and it was one of my older sibling’s friends that just let us have a bunch of their games that they were done with. It quickly became my favourite game on the N64, along with Smash Bros later on.
#1 I’m almost 40
number 1. I’m an 80s baby ^^
Number 3 is my all time favourite though.
Number 1. The original. I was so happy when BOTW gave the the open exploration based feel from that very first game again. The other 3d games we just so linear and hand holding in comparison.
#1, which I rented from my local video rental store back when video rental was all small, locally owned businesses - until I was eventually gifted a cart of my own for my birthday. I tried to find it not that long ago when I stopped to visit my parents. I found my original 8-bit NES and all of my games except Zelda. I suspect my niece, who had been living in my old room for a number of years, may have found it on the top shelf of the closet and realizing its value either sold it or gave it to her boyfriend.
#1 for me. That gold cartridge really stood out amidst my collection of other NES games, for more reasons than one. Naturally, I needed a guide to get through my first playthrough, but I kept coming back to it and eventually had the whole game damn near memorized.
First ever was #1, first one I beat was #11 though
Unrelated, but what Zelda should i play, I’ve retired on link to the past, and minish cap

I agree.
I love Ocarina of Time, but it’s quite dated. Link to the Past is a timeless classic.
Ocarina of Time is rated exactly where it should be, as one of the best games of all time. It’s a masterpiece. It has its reputation for a reason and I think everybody who doesn’t hate that style of game should play it.
Thanks for the tip, I’m going to play oot then
The 3DS port of Ocarina of Time. Was pretty magical at the time having a handheld that could do 3D graphics as well as it could. Paired with being an excellent game with lots of charm and atmosphere already made it a great experience. Pretty cool with the 3D screen too, made it feel that much more immersive.
4, since Gameboy was the first system we were allowed to play in our home. Stole my sister’s copy to play it and got in to a fight when I stole from the store under her save file.
I also remember burning through an insane number of AA batteries when I was attempting a less-than-smart solution to one of the room puzzles in Eagle’s Tower.

Fantastic music, too. Here’s a great article about the musical motifs in the game.
Link’s Awakening DX was the first game I picked up on my Gameboy color. Didn’t know anything about it, it just looked cool. Didn’t learn it was part of a series until I saw advertisements for OoT.
5 for me. I remember being a young kid and not really understanding much about the game worked, and spending hours just wandering around Kokiri Forest and Hyrule.
#1. Had to go to a distant friend’s house to play it because no one else had a Nintendo yet.
God I’m old…
