The 3DS port of Ocarina of Time. Was pretty magical at the time having a handheld that could do 3D graphics as well as it could. Paired with being an excellent game with lots of charm and atmosphere already made it a great experience. Pretty cool with the 3D screen too, made it feel that much more immersive.

A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
No memes please.
I had never played a Zelda game (or even any nintendo game except wii sports and mario kart wii) 3 years ago. Decided to try ocarina of time 3d on an emulator and got hooked. I still need to play majora's mask and skyward sword of the 3D games and I have a few 2d Zeldas left but overall it has been a great experience and awesome journey, and I have also branched out and played all metroid and 3d Mario games and consider myself a Nintendo fan now.
Edit: this post has actually inspired me to boot up a link to the past and give it another chance and I realised part of why I didn't get into it originally was the input lag that can rather easily be mitigated in retroarch. Having a great time
- It was a weird learning experience for a kid that couldn't read English and had never played anything with rpg'ish elements.
I think i just wanted to play the first one because of the theme song. Somehow expected that the second one would have it too.
To be fair, 2 isn't that much easier to understand even if you do know English.
True.
I've been recently playing Tunic. It almost mirrors my experience except that i didn't have a manual at all. Tunic uses weird language with random english words, i only had a small dictionary for zelda 2 that would accomplish just that.
Just googled the Zelda 2 manual. I can see where the Tunic inspiration comes from https://i.imgur.com/OzVTVkK.png
