    Very much a #1. Gold cartridge and all.

    I loved #10. With a full crew of four with GBA SP’s and cables that game was a rocking time for you and your buddies. The ability for that game to cause swearing, shoulder punching, and evil strategic voting at the end of each level was absolutely wonderful.

    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.

      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.

    #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.

    #10 and actually with the GBA cables and friends to do multiplayer. (#11) Minish Cap as well, but my first owned Zelda was Four Swords Adventure.

    #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…

    I’m OG; I can still remember coming home and tearing it out of the box and throwing it on without having read the pamphlet (which they actually included then) and wandering around for hours having no clue what I was supposed to be doing. It was great!

    #3. A class mate of my sister lent it to us and we didn’t put it down for at least 1-2 months.

    Although I can say my favorite game is Oracle of Seasons.

    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.

    #1! I used to play it with my mom, way back before I was old enough to actually make any progress. Mom made giant, beautiful hand-drawn maps of the overworld and all of the dungeons for both quests on large sheets of graph paper, and one of my biggest regrets from childhood is not keeping those maps safe.

    The original LoZ is still one of my favorite games of all time, and I still spend a few hours every year or so playing through it again.

    #7 for me. Kind of surprised that answer isn’t more common here. Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages occupied so much of me and my friends time back when they came out.
