How did you discover Zelda?

I just had a random flashback as I was filling in a thread about what I thought when I first played Zelda. One of my friends when I was like erm . . . 8? had OOT and was stuck in the deku tree fighting Gohma and couldn't do it, and I often got shoved round his house because our mothers were friends, so I just picked up the controls when he got bored of getting his ass kicked by the lil Gohma spawns and spent like 40 mins trying to kill her and then eventually did and then went to buy my mum for a N64 & OOT. XD

Re: How did you discover Zelda?

My older brother playing it when I was around... 8 or 9 years?

Every time he was playing it, I was always peeking around the corner to hear all the cool stuff happening and I eventually go and sit with him while he played and I began to draw the characters and monster, imaginations flew everywhere, started playing it myself when my brother went to work, then I became addicted and fell in love with the game.

Afterwards, that's all I talk about and I still am obsessed with it. I was always depressed when I was little, but Zelda made my world heaps and heaps brighter.

Just the graphics back in those days and the childish feeling to it made it a game where I couldn't stop playing it. I still play it now, never bored of it. It always brings back memories and makes me happier.

I thank Zelda for everything.

Re: How did you discover Zelda?

I remember back when i was in kindergarten the game came out. the following summer i used to watch my cousin play it every day after we swam. Wow, some summer that was! I was so mytified by it that i could watch him play for hours. When i finally played it i only re-asserted how much i loved the game. Before this though this same cousin got the first zelda game for christmas and i think i watched him play it then too.

Re: How did you discover Zelda?

I discovered Zelda when I went to an ex-boyfriends house and borrowed some of his N64 games. One of them happened to be OoT, and I played it. Got hooked and beat it.

Re: How did you discover Zelda?

I was just a young kid and I got my gameboy color when I was 6 so I'd say I was 7 or so when I got my first Zelda game. My parents bought me Oracle of Seasons for my GBC and I just liked the game.
