First time you played a zelda game....

Remember the good old times wen you played your first zelda game.
Mine was OOT.

Still remember the day,
Sat my ass in front of the TV from 12:30AM - 9.00PM
I just finish Tree temple and Goron temple XD

Good times...

Everything BUT water temple... It still gives me nightmares...

yesterday

Never played a zelda game in my life...

:\

ya...............

A cousin of mine had a SNES, he had much games, stupids abut sports and a Donkey Kong (I called it Don King Kong at that time), I said my mother I wanted one of those consoles (I was 8 years old) but my mother is not so familiarized with technology, she bought a N64 instead, included a Star Fox 64, Goldeneye 007 and Ocarina of Time, that was the first zelda I played around 2001

At least you got some of the best games for the N64 =p


First Zelda game I've ever played was, in fact, the first Zelda game ever. Our neighbors had given us their old, broken NES for free (with a free copy of SMB/Duck Hunt), so my Dad tried fixing it and got it to work. A few weeks later, my parents rented LoZ and liked it so much they bought it. I actually got to play SMB and Zelda together with my family in those days, it was pretty awesome. I remember the first time i played, i could only find the first and fifth levels.

Interestingly enough, despite having beaten every zelda game out there (not counting the spin-offs and CD-i games), most of them at least twice, I've never beaten Zelda's second quest. The closest I've gotten was years ago when I played with my parents. I remember we were on the final level, and it was getting late and they sent me to bed. When I woke up they had beaten it without me...

My first Zelda game was LoZ: Ocarina of Time.

That is probably why it is (one of) my favorite zelda games. This was also my first 3d video game. It took me a good week and a bit to beat the deku tree, and probably 3 months for the whole child section (i was exploring too, mind you) i wasn't very good at puzzle solving, so puzzles would take me days.

also the iron knuckles scared the fuck out of me so i would just run away from them for a good 15 minutes....

ironically enough i still have somewhat a fear of them when i'm at the spirit temple with only 3 hearts...

I was born in 1995. N64 came out in 1996. I wan't able to hold a controller til I was about 3-4. That was when OoT came out. My brother had a N64 and he let me try it out. I his almost complete file on accident. (I actually did the same thing on his BK file to) I beat the game and loved it. I remember going to a movie and seeing a commercial fo MM. I was 5. Got it the next christmas. So basically I have been playing Zelda my whole entire life. About a year ago I got REALLY addicted to this "drug" I have actually gotten about 10 of my friends to start playing it. I really hope that Nintendo doesn't screw up Zelda Wii. I doubt they will but with Wii Motion Plus I don't know what to expect.

lol when I read that drug sentence I thought you were talking about weed until I read "playing"

I first played the game at a friends house when I was 7 and couldn't get my hands off it. He would always want to play Banjo Kazooie but I would keep insisting on playing oot. My Grandma eventually got me the game and it took me 3 years to beat the damn game... I couldn't find one of the small keys to Dark Link. <___<

Now Majora's Mask is a different story... I'm currently trying to figure out if there is a way that I can have sex with this game.

I first played OoT at a really small age. I remember when Majora used to scare the fuck out of me lol. But Majora's second forme, the dancing mother fucker, actually made me laugh. Third forme, meh. Also, when the spooky cutscenes happened, I went to the restroom and came it when it as over.

all i remember is messing around inside the Deku Tree the day i first played OoT. there's some other minimal flashbacks like parts of the forest, water and shadow temples and some puzzles that were hard the first time i got to them but replaying the game so much has kinda crushed my early memories of it. a fun fact is that i tried to go for several months without touching the game after i had beaten it the first or second time.

i don't know if i had played LttP before OoT but OoT was the first one i got.

now, MM is the first one that i have lots of memorable moments in my memory from the start. i remember i got it for halloween back in oct 2000 and proceeded to get all masks because i wanted to see Fierce Deity Link. too bad the last boss was too easy with that but at least i played most of the game before beating it the first time.

10 of your friends?

I'm glad already, that I was able to make my friends stop telling me, how hard my videos suck <_<

My first Zelda game was Adventures of Link, I used to play it all the time when I was younger. I remember the farthest I've gone as a kid on that game is up to the first dungeon, I never made it to the boss. Good times :)

My first Zelda game was OoT as well.

However, the first time I played it, I was in what I like to call a "strategy-guide" phase. I wasn't very smart at nine years old, that's why I used it. Now that I'm older, I've broken from that phase and, if I ever get my hands on a console version of the game again, I will sit down and beat it the way that I should have when I was younger!

I sucked at games as a child, but I'm getting better now...

There's nothing wrong with using a strategy guide if you're completely stuck and aren't having much fun trying to figure it out yourself D:

Wind Waker. I hated it.

Ouch tWW was your first game?  D:

I can come up with a few reasons why TWW would not be a good first Zelda game for someone:

- Triforce Shards (though this is mainly from my experience)
- Story is TOO linear; lacks the freedom of exploration from previous Zelda games (at the time) due to this (this is my opinion)

Those are the reasons why I didn't like it at first. But, then again, it wasn't my first Zelda game.

what's ironic is that the game's difficulty is very suited for first time players.

True, I suppose. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't see why someone could hate TWW. Disregard what I said above.

Well I was a kid and I pretty much decided I hated it because I couldn't find my Grandma's house to get the Hero's clothes. I gave up on the pirate ship too, because it was just too difficult lol.

That was my first Zelda too, but I was like 4 years old and didn't really know what I was doing. I would just walk around town and jump around. If I tried to do the first temple I could never beat the Iron Knuckle type guys that would attack you and so I never got far.

My first Zelda game was Ocarina of Time. We couldn't afford to buy an N64 so we rented one(you could rent an N64 system from blockbuster back then). We had only rented SM64 with it so we went back a day or 2 later and got Ocarina of Time, cause the box art was cool. Luckily someone left a completed file on it so I just explored everything. I had a lot of fun with it but I'm sure I didn't progress very far in the game(I was 8 years old at the time).

I really didn't get into playing OoT seriously until it came out on Gamecube in 2003. I've been playing it like a madman ever since.

My first Zelda, believe it or not, was Twilight Princess. I really enjoyed it and after I beat it, I downloaded Ocarina of Time. At first, I thought that Twilight Princess was far superior. The game moved very slow, at first, and some stuff I thought was too hard. But then after I stepped out into Hyrule Field, I was amazed. I also looked at reviews and they were very positive for OoT. Furthermore, the game felt a lot deeper and was very satisfying. Also, there was a ton of freedom.  After those two things, I decided OoT >>>>>>> TP. After that, I began to play MM and tWW and they were even better than TP.

Now granted, I had seen OoT, MM, and TWW even before I got into Zelda, but they never interested me for some reason.

Hope you're being sarcastic about that. Anyway, my first zelda game was the twenty minute demo of Windwaker on the collector's edition. Out of curiousity, who else thinks that Adventure of Link is the hardest zelda game ever?

My first Zelda game was OoT and I played it the first time in 1998. I remember that Gohma was hard for me back then and when I finally got the 3 stones I watched the cutscene when Zelda throws the Ocarina in the water. When the cutscene was over I forgot that and was stuck as child for ages. I remembered the Ocarina in the water when I played the game again in 2004 or 2005.

My first game was Link's Awakening, and I remember getting stuck for a surprisingly long time on the steps to getting the Bird Key.

lol that's a rather amusing way to get stuck.
didn't navi bombard you with messages?

I was 4 years in 1998 and I stopped playing the game in 2000 or 2001 untill 2004. I couldn't speak English in 1998. Not untill 2004. If Navi says something about the Ocarina in the water is what you mean.

And Razor, Adventure of Link is the hardest Zelda game I have played but The Legend Of Zelda is not far behind.
