I've received my zelda collection on the gamecube, and i will be playing my first Zelda game shortly. Im very excited I must say I know a lot of people love the Zelda series and has been praised by both gamers and critics. Which one do I Start with, the zelda collection contains 4 classic's in the zelda series ocarina of time, majora's mask etc. I also purchased zelda twilight princess on the wii. But I will play that later.

Please guide me and am I in for a journey like no other?
