#28 The Legend Of Zelda Links Awakening
My cousin owned a game boy. Sometimes we could borrow it. He had 3 games, Mario Land 2, Tetris and Zelda Links Awakening. All fantastic games but Zelda was something special. It was the second game I ever played of the franchise and for many years I did not think that highly of it. But with each revisit I started to see the game for what it was, a little miracle on the game boy.
Playing this game is the first time I remember a story in a game making my mind go wild. The eerie music when I gathered the key to the sixth dungeon and for the first time got to know the truth about the island and the faith that awaits. The memory still gives me goosebumps and it is up there with the first Planet of the Apes movie in mindfuck impact. And the Eagles tower, man what a great Zelda dungeon.
