My first time with OoT:
My entier family played the game togheter, which resulting in us only averaging about tops an hour a day. None in the family had played on a game console before (OoT, MK64 and SM64 were our first 3), so we were horrible.
We died about 15 times on the first boss, and probably spent about 100 hours on the game. I was 4 (and 5 later on), so I didn't play a lot in the beginning (the game was so scary I oftenly closed my eyes during play), but I was the one who finished the last boss, after everybody else had given up on the game, because Ganondorf's lightballs were impossible to hit. The day I finished it, was actually the first time I the person who now is my best friend over.
I said: this game is impossible! Just look at it; and I actually beat the light-throwing him on the first try! I died on Ganon a couple of ten' times too, but when I made the game, I was as proud as ever.
Ever since that game, I've always played the Zelda games with at least one in my family (although, as my sisters grew up, they lost much interest, so in TP, only my mom was watching. I played all the later games too.
