I was like 4 years old and I got my first SNES with ALttP and oh boy, I got hooked instantly with it, hours and hours sitting in front of the tv were spent playing that game and i regret nothing, then I got my first N64 with ocarina of time and i actually changed the game before completing it for SSB, I'll regret that day for the rest of my life ;___;
Ashamed to admit this, but the first time I ever played a Zelda game was when I was 15 years old with Ocarina of Time being my first, due to the fact that I was mostly a Playstation Girl growing up and it wasn't until my cousin went to college and gave me his old N64 did I finally got a chance to play a Zelda game.
I was 11 when i borrowed wind waker of my friend, i grew up playing Playstation and had no friends who played nintendo games so i knew heard of zelda until then.
The first game I remember playing was Phantom Hourglass on my DS when I was like 10. Since then I've played about every game except for WW. (never owned a Game Cube)
Around 7 or eight and the game was ocarina of time and at that time I was a pretty big gamer but after I played ocarina of time I became a huge gamer so thank you nintendo.
