Wow, there are a lot of young whippersnappers about.... I remember the day when you could buy a heaping plate of liver and bacon for only tuppence and a farthing and you'd like it coz there tweren't anything else...

Seriously, my first game was ALttP and it would have been the very first LoZ game, coz I was certainly alive during that time but my first ever console was Gameboy and second was SNES.

My parents didn't really want to get me a NES, coz they thought the graphics would be bad for my eyes. They eventually got me a SNES and that's where I found my first taste of Link...

The first Zelda game I ever played was Ocarina of Time. I was buying an N64 in Toys R Us, quite a long time after OoT came out, and it came in one of the bundles - it was in fact what mostly attrected me to that bundle. The next game I found out about was MM , from seeing it advertised in shops as coming out soon, so I got that too, and my love of Zelda grew from there.

Now I think about it though, I must have read through the whole of Link's Awakening quite a bit before I'd even heard of the Zelda series - it was one of the Game boy games that got a guide in the book that came with my Super Game boy.

Link to the Past. I played it for the first time in 1996 while visiting a friend of my dad. The young children there showed me their Zelda game and when I played it for the first time, it held me captive. That's when my interest in the Legend of Zelda series arose.

Interesting. There is a pretty even split among the NES (go old timers!), SNES and N64. No one new from the wind waker though.

Edit: Of course, I forgot to put wind waker on the list. Silly me. *lowers head in shame*

I think I was lucky, I started with the best... A Link to the Past, but before that I was an avid fan of the Legend of Zelda Cartoons.

My first Zelda game was Ocarina of Time... I'm not much of a Zelda fan though...

[Reflectionist]

the first i've played was OoT. I was pathetic at it

since then, i'm trying to get all of the other zelda games and be able to sit down one day and play them all in what I would believe to be a chronological order....

i have LoZ -Gba, getting AoL Gba, have LttP Gba, my brother in law has LA stored away, have OoT and MM on 64... and i have WW.

OOT was my first, but that's because i was didn't know that Zelda was available for the NES and I never had a SNES. I did watch the cartoon series when I was about six, though!!

My older brother got OoT and I watched him every day for the 30 minutes we were alloted for gaming (what kind of fool misses being a little kid? being a big kid is so much more fun.). When I found out that there were other Zelda games I went out and got LA with what little money I had. My brother finished OoT (with me watching the whole time) before I had finished the first dungeon. So while i put OoT it's also LA.

On an interesting note, me and link are the same age- sept of '87. we're just a few days apart.

LoZ, all the way! Grew up on that game, and I have yet to actually beat it...

[Clayvman]

I played a Link to the Past first and i loved it but i never really played the ones before it and that sucks.

[Husse]

I said OoT, but my first view of Zelda was ALttP. I thought Link looked like a goon or something.

[sonicsgirl]

I borrowed ALttP from my boyfriend, though at the time he was NOT my boyfriend. I was in seventh grade when I played it. I didn't beat it b/c I couldn't get past that part where you somehow had to jump to get to the moon pearl thing or whatever it was. Haven't played the game since, but I would like to...

[sonicsgirl]

Aye same goes for saving princess Zelda at the start of ALTTP for me.

Aww, man. That WAS fun, you know. I loved chopping down the grass, too. I used to tell my little brother when I was playing it that I was mowing the lawn in Link's backyard. Heh heh.
