What was your First Zelda Game?

[ThomasNLD]

The one for the NES, but I didn`t like it in honesty. First one I really got into was A Link To The Past, for the super Nintendo. After that Links Awakening, which actually was a really fun game.

I remember reading the review for OOT in a Dutch magazine, they gave it the first 100 (or was it 99?) ever. Man, the days from that moment to the release felt like years.

Mine was Ocarina of Time on the 3DS. I had heard of LoZ but never thought to play one. Then when the 3DS first came out and i got one there wasn't many games at first that appealed to me. Saw Ocarina of Time, and thought "Why not?" and the rest as they say is history lol Got quite a few LoZ games now

Mine was Ocarina of Time, but I was too young to complete it on my own. The first one I deliberately created my own save file and completed on my own was probably Twilight Princess.

 

[Espurr96]

The Legend of Zelda 1 and 2 for the NES. I had no idea what the hell I was doing being I was only 4.

 

[LuckyCalico]

Mine was Link's Awakening DX. I have to admit, I thought Link's name was Zelda for the longest time after playing it.

The first is Twilight Princess for the GameCube, but I never finished because it was a rental.

 

[Boidoh]

Triforce of the Gods w/ Four Swords on the GBA. I had a japanese copy.

The first english one I played was Twilight Princess on the Wii.

When I was little and received my first handheld console (the Gameboy Advance) I received The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX. I think it was kind of funny my first GBA game was a Gameboy Color game. Yeah, that was my first Zelda game, but after that I didn't play Legend of Zelda again until Twilight Princess for the Gamecube. Even after that I didn't play another Zelda game until Windwaker HD came out. I love The Legend of Zelda, but I don't know why I didn't play more of the games in the series beforehand.

My first was Twilight Princess on Gamecube, but that's because I played them all out of order on purpose. My dad was always a huge Zelda fan and I wanted to forget that I watched him play the games so I wouldn't remember the spoilers when I actually picked up the games. Since he played the games in order, I started with Twilight Princess and worked backwards, and that was very helpful for me (even though I still remembered the identity of a certain Twilight Princess ;~.

 

[infinikitten]

Ocarina of Time was my first, and it was one of the only worthwhile N64 games I ever owned. I still have my system and cartridge lying around here somewhere, I think...

Windwaker will always be my favorite of the series, though. Twilight Princess was gorgeous but I never finished it because I scratched my game and ruined it like an idiot. /shrug

 

[abby534534]

As far as a serious playthrough goes, Windwaker I played the original LoZ on the original nintendo but I always died so quickly...

 

[Lucykieran]

My first Zelda game was Twilight princess and since then I've played 5 others! Zelda is probably one of my favorite games, despite the fact the main character never utters a word. And twilight princess was probably my favorite, just because of the beautiful graphics. I can't wait for the new wii-u one!

 

[Kaiaa]

My first Zelda game was Ocarina of Time on the 64. I don't remember how old I was but I do know I was very young, maybe second grade. I used to watch my uncle play it and he got me into the series. Ever since, I have played and loved the Zelda series.

 

[toxapex]

Oracle of Seasons. I love it and its companion game to death to this day. I actually really like top-down zelda games in general.

Well, actually I like all Zelda games in general. Top-down and 3D each have their own attributes that make them enjoyable.

 

[JCnator]

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64 is the first game of its franchise that I've played in my entire life back in the 1998. One day, I was in my grandmother's house and one of my now-defunct relatives is actually playing this game. When I saw the game running, I've found myself wanting to get this. Fast-forward to my birthday in the following year and I finally got it. Needless to say, I was hooked on it. Even my brother, sister and mother were eventually playing the same game. We didn't managed to beat the game and only beat Fire Temple out of the 6 adult dungeons.

 

[spacejammies]

I think mine was OOT. That or Majora's Mask

 

[Locket]

Majoras Mask 3D. Zelda didn't really stand out to me, so it was a while.

 

[ChaosEmperor1988]

Zelda 2 the adventure of link. when i was a kid i couldnt get very far but i loved the music in the game.

 

[Alienfish]

Minish Cap, I think...

 

[DesertSunflower]

I dabbled with the original for awhile, back in the day, but it was too hard for me at the time and I couldn't figure out what I was doing. No online guides back then, because there was no "online" either. *feels old* So it went back to the rental store without being played much.

The first one I really, really played was Link to the Past. It remains my favorite to this day. Years later, my older brother told me that while I was in school during the day, he'd play my file and collect rupees for me. I never caught on, but that was nice of him.
