I must say that Zelda: A link to the past is one of the first games that got me into adventure/RPG. Absolutely FINE games these are.
I have played few of them, though, which are basically the before mentioned A link to the past, and the first Zelda for GB (forgot the name). I have also played the oracle series but never beaten those. Then I played Zelda: Ocarina of time, and I have to say is one of the best games I have played in my life. I also began playing Majora's Mask but dropped it when I got me a PS2.
The Wind Waker is defintely a game I will have when it coems out, since it was one of the main reasons I had to get a cube.
This is definitely a gmae you should not miss, Makg
