I am ready to battle now; things might be a bit busy in the next few weeks, as LinkMaster30000 and I are getting married on the 31st (!!heart!!), but I work 8-4:30 and might have some availability in there, or maybe after the wedding. Let me know!
First one was Link to the Past. All of the questing and hunting for items and sidequesting that is a Zelda game was extremely addicting. Then there was Ocarina of Time; simply taking all of the fun of a Zelda game and adding an explorable world in 3D to the Zelda concept. AWESOME. I distinctly remember skipping a class in college because of the Gerudo dungeon where you got the Ice Arrows; one of the keys was maddeningly elusive, and it required the Lens of Truth to find. The other games were just naturally addicting after that. :)
Majora's Mask, hands down. Just so much to collect and do; the plot is fantastic. Someone has to get past the initial annoyingness of the game being timed; but after you get the song of time, it's all okay.
