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. 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.

number 1. I’m an 80s baby ^^

Number 3 is my all time favourite though.

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

#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…

Number 1, but it was really Ocarina of Time that defined my childhood

#4, Link’s Awakening.

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.

If we’re counting 3DS remakes, I’m a number 6. Otherwise, I guess I’d be a number 9 through the WiiU iirc.

Unrelated, but what Zelda should i play, I’ve retired on link to the past, and minish cap

#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.

No phantom hourglass then?

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

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.
