A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

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

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.

5 for me. I remember being a young kid and not really understanding much about the game worked, and spending hours just wandering around Kokiri Forest and Hyrule.

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

Unrelated, but what Zelda should i play, I've retired on link to the past, and minish cap

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.

Thanks for the tip, I'm going to play oot then

No phantom hourglass then?

I did not do the image myself, but it would seem not. Apparently, the OP didn't bother to add 5 of the 20 Zelda games... I didn't notice it because I mostly played the old Zelda games, but that's kinda bad... sorry about that.

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

#1 for me. That gold cartridge really stood out amidst my collection of other NES games, for more reasons than one. Naturally, I needed a guide to get through my first playthrough, but I kept coming back to it and eventually had the whole game damn near memorized.

#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...

Either 7 or it's twin, ages. Honestly not sure which I played first but I spent SOOOOOOO much time on them as a kid

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely the most underrated game in the series, it was my first too and still in my top five

I had never played a Zelda game (or even any nintendo game except wii sports and mario kart wii) 3 years ago. Decided to try ocarina of time 3d on an emulator and got hooked. I still need to play majora's mask and skyward sword of the 3D games and I have a few 2d Zeldas left but overall it has been a great experience and awesome journey, and I have also branched out and played all metroid and 3d Mario games and consider myself a Nintendo fan now.

Edit: this post has actually inspired me to boot up a link to the past and give it another chance and I realised part of why I didn't get into it originally was the input lag that can rather easily be mitigated in retroarch. Having a great time

I was around for 1, didn't play any until 5, and have only played 5 and 6.

Where is Phantom Hourglass? I loved that game!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That was a good one :) I remember tripping out when I had to close my DS for one of the puzzles.

But on that note, Spirit Tracks is missing too!
