Oh my, you should definitely give it another chance someday

The first Zelda is fine and all in relation to its time, but it doesn't compare to the greatness the later games achieved, Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker especially in my opinion. I don't hold them in quite the same "ultimate series ever" esteem as many others do, but they are quite fun and very well put together. Don't let that that first one put you off! (As for II, I just pretend it doesn't exist at all
