Link's Awakening for the original Game Boy was the first video game I ever played (well, that or Tetris...I played them simultaneously) and for a five-year-old who couldn't read, I did a good job figuring things out. It still holds a special place in my heart because of it, and I really should fully play it at some point (I've only ever beaten the first temple).

Ocarina of Time is my favorite game of all time. I have played the trout out of that game. I love that when I'm in the gaming mood, it's a game I can pick up and play in just a day or two. It's great. I know a lot of people here think it's overrated (and I appreciate why, even if I don't agree)...but man. Ten-year-old Jinx was so excited when Link transformed into an adult. You come out of the Temple of Time, and everything is desolate, and Death Mountain is on fire. Everywhere is ruinous and destroyed. It just blew me away. I thought getting the last spiritual stone was the end of the game (it took me a long time, as I wasn't great at the game then) and then...noooo. It's only just begun. And trout is real now.
