I wasn't a long time Zelda fan, because I was only about 2 years old when OoT was released. Of course I was too young back then, and I had no idea what Zelda is. But when I was 8 or 9, I played Alttp and it sucked me into the franchise. I got the SNES version of the game. So, OoT was the first game in my lifetime, but it's not the first game I played.
