What Zelda game made you a fan for good?

[Azure Sage]

Im not really sure. Phantom Hourglass was my first and that made me wanna try more games. I guess Ocarina of Time being my third one was what finally got me hooked? Once you get to the third game and you wanna keep going I guess that's where I'd draw the line.

ALttP. It was the first Zelda game I played and I wanted more after that.

My first Zelda was Oracle of Seasons, and I dabbled briefly with OoT and MM at a friend's house, but what actually got me into the series was Wind Waker. That was the first Zelda game I ever beat, and after I finished it I wanted more. Now I've played every game in the main series, and even a few of the spinoffs.

Honestly, what sold me on the series wasn't even a game. It was the Hyrule Historia. I completely fell in love with the series just from that book, I read it front to back so many times before I had even played a single zelda game.
As far as games go though if I had to pick one I would say OoT. It was the first Zelda game I played. Most action/fighting games I played before that point I had been terrible at. But as for OoT, I was actually able to beat the enemies and bosses and eventually the game. Starting with that game The Legend of Zelda basically completed my dream of being a gamer. The story and game set up were phenomenal as well.

My very first game was PH. Then I played TP but didn't finish it until 2 years later. After I left TP temporarely I played and finished WW, OoT, ST but I think PH got me hooked to the franchise because after that I only wanted to play as much Zelda games as possible and finish them! Funny actually because PH isn't my fav Zelda game but it's the culprit of my Zelda addiction

An amazing entry and timeless imo but I'd absolutely love to see them beef it up and make it an hd remake!!!

The first Zelda was my first Zelda and I've been in love with the series ever since.

Mine was Orcarina of Time (N64). I remember picking it up on the day it was released, putting that cartridge in the console, and when the opening screen played I was transfixed. I played the game as one in a trance, logging in hour after hour exploring, accomplishing the quests of the main story, fishing, and just riding Epona. Back then it felt as massive of an open world as BOTW and TOtK.

The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition on the GameCube.

Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask became instant favorites. And also I had found out after hearing a review for Majora's Mask 3D's unnecessary alterations from the original game (Deku Link skipping being broken, Zora Link swimming consuming magic) that the ability to save your progress at any time at an Owl Statue did not exist in the original N64 version but does exist in the GC version... so I guess the best way to play Majora's Mask is on the GameCube.
