I loved when I played LoZ and didn't know about the Wooden Sword you're supposed to get from the old man right when you begin the game and I found the White Sword first.
I can also how I did this if anyone doesn't believe me.
That's so impressive that it's not even embarrassing. The fact that you discovered how to get rupees to get bombs or the candle without the sword on your first time playing the game makes it even more amazing. It reminds me of this time I heard about a person who didn't realize there was a Lens of Truth in OOT so they went throught the entire Shadow Temple by trial and error on their first playthrough.
Anyway my favorite moment of obtaining the sword is the master sword in Wind Waker because of the windows surrounding the pedestal and what happens immediately after you leave (its my favorite part of the game by far).
