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.
#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.
Same with the gold cart. My mom was the game guide for me though, she beat it first and then helped me through :D
First ever was #1, first one I beat was #11 though
Number 1, but it was really Ocarina of Time that defined my childhood
#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…

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

You got it
I agree.
I love Ocarina of Time, but it’s quite dated. Link to the Past is a timeless classic.
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
3, through an emulator. And about the others, I only played 12 and 13.
#1!
I remember going to the bookstore and looking at a Nintendo Power magazine. The postcards they had in there for you to mail in and subscribe always had art or photos on them. And one of them had a small blurry photo of one of the dungeons in Zelda.
I yanked that postcard out and took it home with me to study the dungeon with a magnifying glass so I could beat it 😂
#4, Link’s Awakening.
#4 for me, pretty sure i only played a few hours on a friend’s dmg back in the day
4 > 1 > 5 > 7 > 8 > 3 > 14
LoZ4 is still my favorite, but the original and SNES ALttP are right behind it.
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
