from the first moment i entered hyrule field to the final battle with ganon, it was all magical experience that no game has yet to reach for me, i remember the first time i beat ganon, my whole family gathered to witness the awesomeness.
i was not even hyped for OOT, i was hyped for turok 2 and ignoring zelda, but after beating turok 2 in about a week or two i traded it for zelda OOT and the rest as they say is history.
