42. Link's Awakening
This game has my favorite story in all of LoZ. Which is funny, because it all went right over my head when I played it for the first time as a small child on my brick-sized original Gameboy. It's one of the first games I can remember playing and I loved poking around and exploring every inch of that little island, discovering every secret I could, trading items, and defeating enemies. It wasn't until years later that I re-played it and realized how sad it is, that to wake and return to the real world means destroying the little island that you've come to love. And how Marin seems to know somehow that she's part of the dream, wanting to leave the island to be with Link but in the end she can only ask him to never forget her.
