I played Legend of Zelda on the 8-bit Nintendo (#1) with some roommates in college. I tried playing Ocarina of Time on the 3DS (don’t see a number for it), but I didn’t like the platform enough to continue using it and I wasn’t used to the type of game Zelda is. I haven’t tried any since, but not because of a lack of respect for the franchise. I just missed the party and don’t know where to jump in. Plus, there are so many games out there to choose from.
Number 1, but it was really Ocarina of Time that defined my childhood
number 1. I’m an 80s baby ^^
Number 3 is my all time favourite though.
#1 I’m almost 40
Mine was ocarina of time on 3DS, which gave me motion sickness and that’s how I learned 3D (as in movie 3D not CGI) and gaming simply don’t mix.
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.
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.
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
#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…

Link to the Past, which is also my favorite besides the Oracle games.
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.
#4, Link’s Awakening.
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.
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.
