Also born in 83 and 100% agree. You can’t understand how critical the early Zelda games were to every game you’ve ever played since. They were ground-breaking and Link to the Past (in particular) changed RPG style gaming forever in my opinion.

They were also the games that made gamers, (like myself)who dislike sports games, into gamers with our own niche. Without FF3 and Link to the Past on Super Nintendo we’d probably have millions of people never pick-up a controller and understand that a comprehensive story can be told in a game. You’d certainly never have had ‘story only’ gameplay mode become popular either.

That said huge kudos for playing each game over again. That is quite the feat!
