Patient Gamers

5! My uncle got me OoT for Christmas when I was a kid. He didn't know I wanted it, he just really liked it and thought he'd get me a cool video game, but I remember seeing the commercial for it on TV and wanting to play it really badly.

I played SO much of that game. I sucked at games as a kid (but I adored them) so I got it when I was probably ~7 and didn't beat it until I was probably ~15. lol And it was only thanks to help from friends. I have since beaten it multiple times, and I've beaten Majora's Mask, Link's Awakening (Switch remake), Four Swords, I 100%ed BotW + DLC, and I am well on my way to beating TotK. So I have improved at video games, thankfully. lol

7, then 9 and 12. My parents bought me ages and my sister seasons. I remember waiting on her to finish her playthrough so I could swap over to seasons. After twilight princess I made the switch over to PC and caught up on missed games with emulators starting with the original. Played everything including TOTK

ocarina of time

#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.

#1 was my first, #5 and #6 were my 2nd and 3rd. I wish they'd port 4 swords to the switch and give it online co-op, I'd love to play through it with other people

I played some of the original game as a kid and then much later played some of Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker, but the first game I actually finished was Breath of the Wild. To be fair though, I never had any of the Nintendo consoles between the SNES and the Wii U.

14

I played 1 and 2 a bit but I was way too young. The first Zelda game I really enjoyed was Link to the Past

I can't give an exact number because I had the gamecube collector's edition disc, but it was either 5 or 6, just roaming around both as an itty bitty without ever beating the games until I was like 12. Played the wind waker demo many times too. Was terrible at Zelda 1 and 2.

I'm an old head. OG gold cart. I remember being so disappointed with Zelda 2. Now I kinda wanna go back to it. It had a really cool score.

#5, 6. Got both cartridges used for the 64 and both had the old save data on them. Didn't appreciate how much effort it takes to get all the masks in Majoras until much later since the previous owner got them all already and his save file was still present. Water temple in OoT is still goated as the worst temple in the game series.

Mine was ocarina of time on 3DS, which gave me motion sickness and that's how I learned 3D (as in movie 3D not CGI) and gaming simply don't mix.

number 1. I'm an 80s baby ^^

Number 3 is my all time favourite though.

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

1, but 5 is the one I spent the most time playing

1

I'm old 😒

#3, and it's still my favorite.

#4 here. Still remember it was the only video game I ever say my dad play. Even that, he only played for one day lol

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

No phantom hourglass then?

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

#5 for me. Although I did have a NES (technically my mom's) but didn't have the carts for LoZ or AoL. And I never had a SNES, unfortunately, so missed out on ALttP until it's re-release on the GBA
