Well I never thought of The Legend of Zelda as anything special when I was younger. It was just another game. But then again, I was like 4 or 5. As time went on I was still kind of ignorant to video games and didn't really know that other Zelda games existed. So the 64 era slips both my brother and I with no Zelda. My brother being way older was well aware of Zelda, but we weren't really fans of Zelda. And it was also really hard to keep up with games back then. So enter Gamecube. We see the Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker at E3 and it looks amazing. The art style, the massiveness, Link's face hinting towards where you should go, etc. We're sold. So my brother pre-orders it and gets a free Ocarina of Time/The Master Quest and of course me still being fairly young watches him pass it. It was an amazing experience. The music, the story, the adventure, everything. That's when I knew The Legend of Zelda was a big deal.
My first Zelda game was The Minish Cap though. I got to know and love Zelda through my brother who loves it just as much as we do. But I didn't have any system but the GBA. But as I grew older and more aware, I started getting my own systems and buying my own games. I was still ignorant in the Gamecube era because when I got my very own Gamecube, I didn't think to even buy Wind Waker because my brother had it. So enter Twilight Princess, I get my own copy for Christmas because I asked for it and because I now realized my brother isn't going to be with me forever. So I started hunting for games that I could of almost missed out on and boy did I stock up.
But the thing that ultimately has me coming back to Zelda after all these years is the series on it's own. Each game always has to offer quality. I see each Zelda game as a work of art. They each have their own unique style, memorable and enjoyable music that really brings out the atmosphere, solid gameplay with newly added elements/themes, massive beautiful world to explore, and of course who could forget all the nostalgia each game offers. Each game keeps bringing you back to an older one and just makes you wonder if there's some sort of connection. The Legend of Zelda is a game that has you thinking and wondering about it even when you're not playing it. And that's what makes it so great. It has you coming back for more. I'm a very hardcore gamer and The Legend of Zelda feeds my hunger for good games with quality. The Legend of Zelda is much more then just some game. And I think the fact that we're all here on this forum dedicated to one of video game's greatest achievement proves it.
