Does anyone else have a really fond place in their heart for Wind Waker? I'm twenty now, but I remember growing up with the Gamecube and just loving the bubbly graphics and cute-intertwined-with-dark storyline.

Plus Ganondorf was just a BAMF in the final boss fight.

I would play a little bit of various Zelda games when I was young (Link's awakening comes to mind), but I only got into the series when I got an old Gamecube and booted up Wind Waker. The cute graphic style, the character design. Oh and launching Link in a barrel! That one was the one that got me hooked. And for me, it'll be the best one.

I also understand but dislike the WiiU remake. That bloom and 3d shading killed the cell shaded style for me :/

Also, OOT and MM were a chore for me. For some reason these 2 just don't click with me unlike the rest.

It has been a while since I tried to play a Zelda game, but my friend insisted that I play Skyward Sword and so I did. Skyward Sword is getting me back into the series because it is closely related to oot, and oot was the first Zelda game I beat. I haven't beaten Skyward Sword (I am working my way to the Temple of Time), but I already love it.

I really love the music in the games, particularly the scores from OoT. I'm actually going to an orchestral performance of music from all the games soon and I'm excited!

Commenting on how you said your childhood being replicated in his... well interestingly enough the original inspiration for Link's name is because... in the original Zelda on NES - he was literally how Miyamoto "linked" the gamer into the video game. Link is the middle man between you and Hyrule as well as the characters. Miyamoto is essentially the reason I freaking love Zelda. Not only is he linking you to the game he created, he is linking you to his imagination. The origin of Zelda is that "Shigeru Miyamoto was actually inspired by his own exploration as a young boy in the hillsides surrounding his childhood home in Kyoto, Japan. When he was a young, he used to venture into the forests, secluded lakes and caves. Moreover, he even ventured into many rural villages. When he was venturing, he discover cave entrance in the middle of the woods. And Miyamoto revealed that this is one of the most memorable experiences of his life." Now that is AWESOME. I totally get that sense his experiences when I play Zelda Games. Of course nowadays it's much more narrative and became its own story - but it still holds that feeling of adventure.

Offtopic but kinda on - I LOVE hiking and I partly blame Zelda.

I had a gameboy pocket and Link's Awakening. Played it so much that the top of the cartridge had faded from exposure to the sun.
