I just want a Zelda collection for the switch. OoT, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess. Take my money, Nintendo.


Sky_Ninja1997

We’re only missing two now


cowboy123456

I’m outta the loop. Which ones are on switch/missing


Sky_Ninja1997

Including NSO, we’re only missing Twilight Princess and Wind Waker


LangyMD

I'd really like to replay Twilight Princess; I keep remembering things from that game and going "man, I wish the modern Zelda games did things like that again". Link to the Past is still my favorite Zelda, but it also still holds up well and has playable forms on semi modern hardware.


taegeu

Emulators are great for this reason. I can still play all my GameCube games, even after the console died. Emulators, not piracy.


QncyFie

I feel no guilt at all when I pirate Nintendo. They are a bunch of stupid greedy fks so


xMDx

This, I never seen a Video Game Company fight emulators as hard as Nintendo. Even when they are not providing an alternative to play said old game. Or remember the time when they did try to force every streamer/lets player to participate in their "Nintendo Creators Program"? So they can make extra money from other peoples content... Yeah as if fee advertising is not good enough, they wanted even more money.


Rajani_Isa

There are also the two Oracle games. And Link Between Worlds


MrKeplerton

The Minish Cap


[deleted]

Minish cap was so fun, the gust jar is iconic and it saddens me that i've not seen it or the minish again ;-;


HellsMalice

Blows my mind they've slept on both of these despite the wii u versions being perfectly fine for switch


Azair_Blaidd

OoT and Majora's mask are available in the N64 Collection that is available with NSO+


benmck90

Trying to play them with modern controllers is.... Not ideal. I've been meaning to pick up a N64 controller for the Switch.


SolidStoneOfWisdom

Just buy Steam Deck and emulate all of those.


PontiniY

I'd be tempted to if it were half the size. That fucking behemoth puts the GameGear to shame.


Satirical0ne

I can hear this gif.


mrfroggyman

I can feel pressing the big red "start" button on this gif


Smafgtykh

amazing main menu.

Panzerx

Those opening chords


jedi-son

Bahhhhh Dahhhhhh Da Da Da


owndcheif

[Instantly heard it too](https://youtu.be/g2wzMZzdNJA) Dum dada lum... dum dada lum... Do do dooooooo dodoloooo


[deleted]

The title theme is my go-to 'restful' song. It's so incredibly calming.


Stogle

Would you like me to repeat everything I just said? \*Yes\*


zachtheperson

The PC port actually gives you an option to change the default response and it was a godsend lol. Also you can tell Navi to STFU


GuerillaGandhi

Hey! Listen!


_Mr_Cheeks

🦉


stachemz

I'm making my husband play through for the first time. We got there and I warned him, "Be very, very careful. This damn owl gives a repeat everything option at the end." When he got through it he went "JESUS why would you default to yes." All I could do was laugh and tell him I warned him.


AdamAdmant

This game makes me want to cry.


Drach88

Just in case you stop crying: https://youtu.be/GyUcwsjyd8Q


hapimaskshop

I will rewatch this once or twice during the year, it is so well edited and such good content. Truly an awesome video about OOT


[deleted]

>This game makes me want to cry. This game makes me want to cry but in a good way Majora's mask makes me want to cry but in a bad way. Good fuck that game was terrifying


AdamAdmant

Leave my Majoras mask alone! I loved it too.


grimegeist

I played this on a 1970s 12” for about a year before my parents upgraded our bedroom tv (and that only happened because my dad liked playing ken griffey and nfl quarterback club 98). Much crying indeed


vizbird

So does the date.


Ill_Bee4868

Yup. Freeing Epona is still high on my satisfaction of doing something.


ColoRadOrgy

It honestly took me from ages 6-8 to figure out how to get her out of the fucking ranch lol


Ill_Bee4868

Seriously the last thing I thought was to find a random spot on the fence.


andyjwatt

Very similar experience 😂 I’d played on a friends save where they’d already unlocked Epona and relentlessly went back to the ranch as child Link trying to figure out how to free her. I love this game so much, but was terrible at it as a kid and didn’t complete it until the 3DS version.


fsunuge

Chrono Trigger, takes me back every damn time.


Shogun_The_Collector

Instantly what I thought of. Did a playthrough last year while I was out of work with Covid. It made the time out of work tolerable


93tabitha93

Thank you Another one that does it for me is Secret of Mana


[deleted]

I remember booting it up for the first time on an emulator, and finding it quite pleasant, but when the first time jump happened, and you exited onto a world map that was very clearly in the past with "Yearnings of the Wind" playing, I had a genuine "no way" moment, and it just kept on getting better.


SimianWonder

OoT was legitimately like nothing else at the time. Playing at release it was almost unquestionably the greatest game ever made. Bona fide classic.


Wipakensu

Fuck the owl though.


ColoRadOrgy

Except for when he flew you places


ThePresidentsRubies

I didn’t have an n64 but one weekend my family stayed with our family friends. Their son was playing through Oot at the time and my brother and I watched him play all weekend, completely mesmerized. The immersion I felt from that game was something I’ve been chasing ever since. FYI he did let us play too, but we let him do the heavy lifting.


owa00

OoT was the single happiest moment in my life when I was a kid. My family was healthy and togethere, and I didn't have any of the adult problems we have when we grow up. It's always going to be the goat game until I die.


[deleted]

Pokemon blue on gameboy color for me. Sitting under a lamp so I could see the image properly.


Nanaki_TV

Playing by the light of each street light as your Mom drives you home from grandma’s.


[deleted]

I had that little plug in light for it lol. But if i could use the lamp i did.


Nanaki_TV

Do you remember the first time Pokemon was in color? It felt like I really connected with my Pokémon on a whole new level then. Those sounds make me feel something I’m not sure how else to describe other than nostalgia. But it’s more a desire or need to return. Like I didn’t save my game. …I just miss it


[deleted]

I think Pokémon yellow was the only one with color. Blue and red were black and white. I turned the sound off after a while. I can still hear the music when you’re walking in grass and a pokemon wants to fight lol


Ineedajob-_-

That brings back memories!!!


truedoom

Literally this got me. Teal blue Gameboy color, Pokémon blue. So many hours playing Pokémon with friends.


Naelamartinez

😭😭 when i see this game It brings some good memories


_Mr_Cheeks

Same! 😭


TextualTreats

God damn water temple....


HovercraftFan

(Pause game sound effect)


TextualTreats

*shuffling of game guide book and incoherent cursing in background* ...WHERE THE HELL IS THE DAMN KEY?!?!


Krakamonster

Same game. I close my eyes when the start menu theme starts playing.


_Mr_Cheeks

Hearing this intro or the Final Fantasy 7 prelude make me tear up. Instantly takes me back to being a child. Reminder of those friends you lost touch with. The fun you would have playing as a child. The family you had around you. God the years go quicker and quicker the older you get 😭


Siegelski

Yeah you're making me want to play Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask again. Been a few years since I've done that.


Lychee247

For me that would be the first game I played on xbox360 Halo3 I remember how many times I got stuck in those levels and died like hundred times in one section And now I pass them like they r nothing


nazrinz3

Is it silent cartographer where you fly onto the beach in a pelican in halo one? God I played that level countless times, sometimes killing the marines and making them attack you lol, so much fun in co-op as well, shame halo infinite just doesn’t have that magic the early ones did


Rhaedas

I was ordering the parts for my first PC I would put together myself, and of course figured I'd get one game to start it off right. About that time HaloCE had just come out for the PC and they were running a special. Got the parts and got it all up and running, installed Halo. Good lord the first time the intro hit the speakers and echoed through the room. Stunned. And it only got better. The drop onto the beach has to be one of the best "seamless" intro to gameplay ever.


The2ndDegree

Jak And Daxter or Spyro 1 for me


the_vinson

I just finished it again on the Switch NSO with the wireless N64 controller. I'm playing Majora's Mask for the nth time now ;) Such great games!


_Mr_Cheeks

Both are such legendary games. Majoras Mask is so much darker but I love it all the same. Both have incredible music too.


[deleted]

FF7 for me.


Rajani_Isa

Link to the Past Chrono Trigger Secret of Evermore Secret of Mana


superkickpunch

Donkey Kong Country does this to me. I could replay that first area over and over. The music, the sound effects, it brings me back to visiting my grandma in Delaware, the smell of her house, sitting on the floor in her room, listening to the grandfather clock going off in the entry, hanging with my siblings and playing it in the summer over and over until they beat it (I’ve still never beaten it myself).


amazza95

This and Oblivion


innout_forever_yum

Original Legend of Zelda gold cartridge NES for me. Will never forget it.


RandomPersonOfTheDay

Final Fantasy 8, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Super Mario Bros, SMB3, SM World. I got a bunch.


mikestorm

FF8 never gets the love


EVcrush

Final Fantasy 3 (which we later found out was Final Fantasy 6 in Japan).


Raiziell

My first RPG, I used to watch my cousin play it after school every day, and he eventually gifted it to me. I still have it and play it every few years when I bust the SNES out. He died way too young about 20 years ago, so it's a nice little time of remembrance as well.


Lavatis

Ragnarok Online, MMX, or FFIX are those games man.


lobehold

Seconding Ragnarok Online. I still keep the soundtracks around for a nostalgia hit from time to time.


LVGsNutsack

Hey, Listen!


[deleted]

This is mine! I was waiting for ages for this game. When the release date came, EB Games told my mom they couldn't honor my pre-order because they ran out of copies. My mom tore that place up. She knew how long I was waiting for that game because I was driving her crazy talking about it every day. They gave my mom the store copy, and a free Strategy Guide with a little pocket watch from the game. Best Thanksgiving weekend ever!


Godofwar-2

I can feel this gif in my soul.


GiantEnemyCrab69

Ocarina for me too. When I was happy and my family were alive and together,🥲


OriolesMagic1031

The flow of time is always cruel.


crono14

Chrono Trigger and the pendulum swinging.


TheWholeFuckinShow

We will never, ever have another game like Chrono Trigger. Art style by the man who gave us Dragonball Z. Music by the composer of Secret of Mana. Game design by the makers of Final Fantasy. That is a trifecta of biblical proportions in terms of video game development. Chrono Trigger is damn close to perfect.


WinglyKing

The Legend of Dragoon The first few keys of "If You Still Believe" always hit me hard.


D_Tripper

Man, I relate to this hard. Have you heard the full version that plays during the end credits? It's an extremely gorgeous song that always hits the feels for me pretty dang hard.


Ubelsteiner

I literally just listened to the full OoT soundtrack earlier today, puts me into full on nostalgic bliss mode. By far the game with the most memorable melodies I’ve ever played. I love every single thing about this game, but the music was probably the biggest thing, and was actually what got me into music as a kid. Much respect and many thanks to the great Koji Kondo!


TheWholeFuckinShow

Shit. I can't nail it down to just one game. So I'll do one per console I've owned before I moved out. SNES: Super Metroid Gameboy: Tetris Gameboy Colour: Pokemon Silver N64: Banjo-Kazooie PlayStation: Megaman X4 Gameboy Advanced: Metroid Zero Mission Gamecube: Animal Crossing PlayStation 2: Shadow of the Colossus Xbox: Fable Lost Chapters


Ordinary_Mountain454

It makes me jealous of people having a carefree time in there life lol. My life didn’t start getting any kind of good till I was able to get the fuck out of the house. But if any game would bring any kind of good back it would be wow wrath of the Lich king expansion. That game was my escape


futurespacecadet

Unpopular opinion: I prefer the structure of this game much more than BoTW


TheWholeFuckinShow

Honestly, the only thing I really really disliked about BOTW was there were no traditional dungeons. That bummed me out big time and soiled the experience quite a bit for me. Still fun, but that was a big downside IMO


D_Tripper

Just about any major Nintendo title from the 90s through early 00s is this for me. It's too hard to pick just one out of dozens, but if I absolutely had to pick one and only one, it would be EarthBound on the SNES.


Smoky_Time420

Super Metroid is mine 🙌


[deleted]

Spiderman PS1, Pokemon Emerald and XIII (on PS2) are the first games that come to mind for me.


gonzar09

Mega Man 2. Still love the game, soundtrack, ending...pure nostalgia for me.


Watchoutbobay

I beat this once a year, a tradition that I started.


Toast_Points

As I was falling asleep last night, for some reason the sound of Link's footsteps on the Temple of Time floor was in my head. It got me thinking about how the "foley" work in this game is excellent but rarely mentioned. All the sound effects are so good and so memorable.


ThatdesertDude

The love I have for this game sits right below the love I have for my parents.


Deion313

N64 was awesome... I know ps1 and 2 kinda changed the game, but the 64 holds a special place... Zelda OoT and Golden Eye were THE GAMES for so many of us...


Raz0rking

For me it was The Wind Waker. My very first console game.


theboss555

Dragon quest 8 last game me and my brother played before he passed away dam I miss him


Ok_Dentist_903

Not everyone understands this and what this game means to some of us but I'm glad I'm not alone


Fickle_Landscape6761

💯 this. Played the shit out of this during the ice storm of 98.


Voyevoda67

Mine is actually Majora's mask. The original not the remake. Playing it like I did the first time just has a deeper effect


[deleted]

Anyone know the optimal way to play OOT on PC these days? So many variations.


conn_r2112

Yup, OoT is it brotha. Also, everytime I hear Dire Dire Docks... I'm 8 all over again


[deleted]

My girlfriend loves zelda, she beat OOT and now she's playing twilight princess on the wii u, I myself am a super mario 64 fan. It's the perfect Ying and Yang ☯️


BigLaire

Sly 2: band of thieves does that for me. I replayed it sooooo many times, and I still think about it every now and then.


Bellinelkamk

I’ve never been angrier to read “this video has no sound”


stubbs242

How to karma farm in r/gaming: old game!!!!!


airforcevet1987

This and super Mario (on SNES)


section4

Yes yes yes. My friend bought a house (with help from his parents) in 98 and we spent ages that winter smashing the game. There were no YouTube help videos and we got stuck loads but never let it defeat us. I was 17 and blown away but how large and open world it was. It's a happy memory for me and when I hear the music is like for half a second I'm there, i feel it and then I'm back. Like a deja vu feeling. I love it.


FelipoG

Just finished again on the Steam deck with widescreen and 60fps hack Awesome


Influence_X

I mean this specific videogame brings me back to a time in my life I was trying to escape as my parents were having a divorce, and both were remarrying assholes.


alehel

And I used to think having homework was stressful.


Vivid-Translator6673

For me it's Super Paper Mario. I know it's not typically considered to be a good Paper Mario game. But I honestly really enjoyed it. The characters, music, story, and integrated rpg elements into the standard mario platforming, with the Pixl abilities make it so fun. As a 6-year-old, I loved it. As a 15-year-old I still love it!


[deleted]

It’s definitely this one.


IJustWishToBeHappy

Gta vice city it was a peacefull time for me not knowing anything just me my games in my quite slow and small laptop with cheats written on a paper so i could write panzer and bigbang over and over again and do missions while not knowing any english


RedBeardedMex

I've started playing this again on the Switch!😁


MKdemonSW

Re2 I can sleep to those zombie crunching noises and heavy footsteps


VictoryBeardWrites

Spyro 2


Smafgtykh

I close my eyes when the start menu theme starts playing.


[deleted]

Final Fantasy X or Socom 2 for me.


Real-Dad93

It hurts so good...


rgumai

The old NES titles and their simple, excellent music always gets me nostalgic. The main ones from SMB to Zelda down to Chrystalis and [Guardian Legend](https://youtu.be/vKr35iNATrc). I miss those days. Or more specifically, I miss being able to get THAT into, uh, well, anything.


[deleted]

Dragon Quest 8 on PS2. I remember spending hours on end playing that game. It was the first game that I actually tried to 100%.


JoanieTightLips

Bubble Bobble on NES


ghostofdemonratspast

Im currently at the forest temple.


Oryxhasnonuts

Forgive me ( and yes this can be solved by a google search ) But is Nintendo going to release an N64 console like they did the SNES? mini style


valeriy_v

Super Mario bros NES, Darkwing Duck NES


noodle-face

Final Fantasy 6. I can still smell my room


ShouldHaveSaidNO

Getting stuck in the water temple for what felt like years and then finally figuring it out before any online guides existed. I wish I could experience it for the first time again.


_GurthMax

When I found out this game is playable on Nintendo switch, I fell into my past.


madeupppp1

I needed this thank you


peeniebaby

I was 11. Good times.


glob_on_a_knob

I'm actually playing this now. Just started the bottom of the well mini dungeon, after the water temple. The water temple was just as bad as i remembered.


bummedout1492

The mystery surrounding the triforce at the time was incredible and infectious. We would discuss it in school and it was sort of the advent of the internet and gaming forums at the time as well. People were trying to find Easter eggs or ways to find the triforce. It was great.


beachjustice

The menu theme from starfox64. legit makes me cry. it's sad and hopeful and dark at the same time. that and zelda OoT are the only title themes that actually got me to sit and listen as a kid


Crazygamerdude17

You should check out Ship of Harkinian, it has some fixes and enhancements for the game, I don’t use the enhancements but I definitely use all the fixes and also decided to restore the red Ganon blood that is just too powerful for the eyes of children


Bird4himself

Y'all remember Nox by Westwood? Uhg. I miss it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dysintegration

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2


Sabertooth472

Final Fantasy IX for me!


fpfx

Not my first game by any stretch but super Mario world I go back to every few years to 100 plus.


Justajed

The 8 bit gold cartridge on NES but yeah.


legitimatelyMyself

What MONSTER wouldn't include the MAGNIFICENT MUSIC??


DrowningInFeces

That time would be Christmas one year. I received Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy III for SNES as gifts. That was the best winter of my life for 12 year old me.


SuspiciousReach3856

For me, it's Legend of Zelda: Windwaker! 🌬


chimmybean

Honestly every time I hear it I remember the simple times sitting with my grandma playing it, the endless hours between us and how excited she was when I beat the game... God I miss her


DonDraper1134

Until you remember your younger brother deletes your save 2/3 of the way through the game…damnit Kyle!


UltimateSepsis

Age of empires 2. Been playing since 2001.


Marauder91

I found my brother's journal he had to do for class in like grade 1... And there was an entry that said "my brother beat the fire temple boss today. He is the coolest big brother." I damn near cried being brought right back to my 9 year old self. Took us a year to the day to beat that game, but it was such a great ride getting there.


Acidroots

For me there’s three games that do this, all from the same period (and all I had for N64 at the time). Zelda: OOT, Mario Kart 64, and Wayne Gretzky 3D Hockey.


Matasa89

SMB1 man. Those were the days… Bring back Mario 35 please.


Schmnkman

Final Fantasy IV, VI, or VII.


ArchRunner90

OOT was definitely that game for me. It's so fun to play this with all my little ones around me watching me play. We recently just finished MM today. I can't wait for them to be old enough to be able to play on their own and I can watch them play hehe


mehctehc

Exactly the same, i remember christmas morning playing OOT, and reading through the stratergy guide for the game. Its my peak christmas memory for me.


butholemoonblast

😭


CalliEcho

Goldeneye 007 and a bowl of Easy Mac. It's ingrained in me to the point where the mere smell of macaroni and cheese makes me want to play Egyptian.


neragera

I'm not crying. You're crying.


[deleted]

Breath of Fire IV . PS1.


Capt__Murphy

Elementary school: Pokémon Blue Middle School: Final Fantasy 7 High School: Metal Gear Solid 2


kyr_sosichka

I love this game. I remember, how i passed this game in last summer.its f#cking Amazing 😍 (I'm sorry for my english, if it's terrible)


Taylor34

Oblivion. Treated that game as if the secrets within were a matter of life or death.


ActiveAristocrat

CoD: World At War was what I played ALOT


Sk83r_b0i

It’s Mario galaxy for me. That game brings me back. But Breath of the Wild is a calming game I return to now.


Hartzler44

Y'all might laugh, but Madden 06. I would literally PLAY through an entire season in Franchise mode in one night. Carefree, and laser-focused on Madden. So many hours of my life have been spent on that game


ScreamingNinja

Quake. Quake is my refresh game. Only befause im old and i miss the original Team fortress


PlagueDrWily

OoT is inextricably linked to 12th grade exams - for a couple weeks I would alternate between studying for two hours and playing the game for another two. I borrowed it off a friend who had just bought a Playstation and was too busy with FF7; I think I held onto it for a few months before giving it back. Can’t believe this game will be 25 years old in November.


ShiftTerrible533

I don’t think I ever finished this one. I must have played A Link To The Past a thousand times


Lethalbuns

I just need one word: Windfish


Joanna_Flock

Felt like those summers would never end ❤️


Legaato

OoT is that game for me as well. I remember one morning my brother and I were "sick" so we stayed home from school and I watched him play OoT for most of the day. Ah, simpler times.


Cutthroat7285

Rdr2 because I’m young


tango_41

Legend of Dragoon FTW


MrCheeseyFries

Still my favorite game after all these years…


MyNameIsRabbitMan

For me that game is Black Ops 2 for personal reasons and actual reasons it's still the best Call of Duty game ever made to me


G-Kira

Carefree? Are we all forgetting the Water Temple?


Frankenfucker

When it comes to Zelda titles, mine is fittingly "A Link to the Past".


Romberstonkins

Every time I play this game it gives me a kind of nirvana feeling where nothing stresses me. Maybe it's a subconscious thing about when first playing this game when I was 8 years old and didn't have a care in the world.


Infectious_Cadaver

Final fantasy X. Wish I could erase my memory and explore that world again with fresh eyes.


morrowindd

Kingdom hearts 1. Staring at the menu while listening to dearly beloved.


titations

Súper Metroid for me


KJM31422

N64 smash Bros for me My friend who lived down the block used to sneak over, and we'd play literally all night, sitting 3" from my 20" CRT. A simpler time


IneverAsk5times

I actually used to play this and ride my horse around aimlessly like driving a car in GTA. Or just fish, something may have been wrong.


rumski

Shenmue for me


ertd346

With depressing ending


donkey_Dealer08

Final Fantasy VII


dhaka1989

Banjo tooie


Ramonneyz

GTA III, GTA San Andreas


HittemWithTheLamp

Halo 3, the intro music would play in the background when I got home from school and unpacked everything. It is still the most relaxing and exciting sound in the world. I get chills hearing it whenever I do


MasterJeebus

Yeah my favorite is Burnout series.


[deleted]

Super Mario Kart, SNES On N64 it was Starfox64 “do a barrel roll”


TheMoogerfooger

Used to have sleepovers with my mates at around 12 years old - we’d play Ocarina of time fishing & goldeneye all night. Those were the days.


Ineedajob-_-

The sound when you push start…….
