I am one of only two that have voted for the original Legend of Zelda. I grew up on the 2600 and not terribly long after release got the NES bundle with R.O.B. and the light zapper.
I still remember talking my mother into buying TLoZ at KB Toys for a wopping $30. It was the first game I had played that was so big it required a battery inside the cart to save your progress. I fondly remember sitting with my mother and some graph paper mapping out the dungeons as I played (maps I still have nearly 40 years later). It was a transformative experience and its success gave rise to more ambitious titles that normally weren't completed in a single sitting. My vote was very much nostalgia driven but that series and Metroid will always hold a very dear place in my gamer heart.
