I usually don’t like sharing this story because it’s extremely personal but I figured I should. After wanting a Super Nintendo at age 7 I finally got one at age 11 and when I saw the game that I got I was extremely disappointed. I had never played Zelda nor did I like that genre of game design, my oldest sister said don’t worry let’s play together and up to that point she and I hardly even talked to each other since we were half siblings and she was 15 years older than I was, long story short we had a blast playing this game and our relationship became a solid as gold! She recently passed away due to breast cancer but every time I hear the sound when the tri force is uniting at the beginning of the game, till this moment I still get the chills. Zelda a link to the past is not only my favorite Zelda game but my favorite game of all TIME!

Something so impactful having to fight the first three bosses again in Ganon's Tower. It really shows you how far you came from the first bit of the game. For some reason, I always felt like this Link was just trying to find his way back home, as a kid.

I don’t want to brag or anything, but being young and alive while games like these were released, playing them felt like a religious experience and I still have this game on it’s original box and even the manual still smells like it’s brand new :)

My best friend had this incredible treehouse and he had a SNES in one of the rooms and in the summer of 1994 he got Zelda Link to the past for his birthday and we played and beat the game together that summer. The smells of summer , rain storms, swimming in the pool , waking up early and play Zelda in that tree house made for the best summer ever and why Zelda Link to the past is my favorite game in the franchise .

Damn as a kid, I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to get into the 2nd dark world dungeon, and was blocked off half the dark world map cause no hookshot.<br><br>...until I wandered into the woods in the light world and found a way into the portal without the Titan's Mitt. Mindblowing moment for me among many in this game, leading it to become my favorite Zelda game

An 'A Link To The Past' memory is honestly what started my entire love for gaming. This may be silly , but this memory is very important to me. When I was about 9 years old, I was trying to defeat Gannon in A Link to The Past. Most people who have played the game know that it's iteration of Gannon is possibly the most challenging in the series, and I was very young at the time, so this was probably one of the hardest things I'd ever done in life at that point. I was in the living room at my grandmother's house trying (for the hundredth time) to beat him, and it so happened that most of my close family was also there. Well, it finally happened! I beat him! I was so happy! My family did something very unexpected, they started cheering! It's not possible to overstate the joy and pride I felt at that moment. I had completed the journey, I WAS the hero, and the people I loved cheered me on for my victory. <br>This might sound ridiculous, but I'm pretty sure that moment changed at least one aspect of my life. I became a GAMER, and to this day it's one of my happiest memories.

Alttp is not just my favorite Zelda game, it’s my favorite game ever. This was a joy to watch, even if you didn’t play it back at launch it’s clear you get the hype. Now you gotta try out the randomizer for it lol
