Patient Gamers

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.

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. I'm an 80s baby ^^

Number 3 is my all time favourite though.

#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.

7, then 9 and 12. My parents bought me ages and my sister seasons. I remember waiting on her to finish her playthrough so I could swap over to seasons. After twilight princess I made the switch over to PC and caught up on missed games with emulators starting with the original. Played everything including TOTK

5! My uncle got me OoT for Christmas when I was a kid. He didn't know I wanted it, he just really liked it and thought he'd get me a cool video game, but I remember seeing the commercial for it on TV and wanting to play it really badly.

I played SO much of that game. I sucked at games as a kid (but I adored them) so I got it when I was probably ~7 and didn't beat it until I was probably ~15. lol And it was only thanks to help from friends. I have since beaten it multiple times, and I've beaten Majora's Mask, Link's Awakening (Switch remake), Four Swords, I 100%ed BotW + DLC, and I am well on my way to beating TotK. So I have improved at video games, thankfully. lol

4 > 1 > 5 > 7 > 8 > 3 > 14

LoZ4 is still my favorite, but the original and SNES ALttP are right behind it.

#4 for me, pretty sure i only played a few hours on a friend's dmg back in the day

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.

#5, 6. Got both cartridges used for the 64 and both had the old save data on them. Didn't appreciate how much effort it takes to get all the masks in Majoras until much later since the previous owner got them all already and his save file was still present. Water temple in OoT is still goated as the worst temple in the game series.

ocarina of time

I can't give an exact number because I had the gamecube collector's edition disc, but it was either 5 or 6, just roaming around both as an itty bitty without ever beating the games until I was like 12. Played the wind waker demo many times too. Was terrible at Zelda 1 and 2.

I played 1 and 2 a bit but I was way too young. The first Zelda game I really enjoyed was Link to the Past

I was around for 1, didn't play any until 5, and have only played 5 and 6.

#1 I’m almost 40

I'm an old head. OG gold cart. I remember being so disappointed with Zelda 2. Now I kinda wanna go back to it. It had a really cool score.

Wind Waker will always have a special place in my heart. It was the first game to open a whole world of exploration for me.

#2 for me

First ever was #1, first one I beat was #11 though

#3, and it's still my favorite.

Wasn't born until after 5 but still ended up going 1~15 in order oddly enough.

That being said, I never actually played Oracle of Seasons... just Ages, which was a hoot.

No phantom hourglass then?

I'm old 😒
