Ooh.  I see it now.  I thought the entire body of was a head.  I thought it was something out of the Clone Wars micro series or something.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

One thing I will never forget. The first time I listened to Link say words in a Nintendo made Zelda.  
Remember in WW controlling those statues and then Link yelling to them "Over here!"

When WW came out and I first heard that I expected some kind of uproar. Guess no one was amazed by that like I was.

i dont wanna repeat too many of the same things everyone else has listed but i didnt get to read every post. here are some of my favorite moments:

-Shadow Link battle (Zelda II). I just barely surived the fight with the Thunder Bird and expected the game to be over only to go on and have to fight shadow link

-Jumping over Geradu Canyon on Epona

-Diving into the water off of Geradu Canyon, seeing link hold his arms at his sides and the way the camera pulls back. the fall is so deep, i always get a chill because im kind of afraid of heights and it honestly makes me feel sick in the stomach cuz i know i would never have the guts to jump off a cliff that high.

-Links eyes when he stares into the empowered master sword right before the final blow to Ganon

-Watching the Tower of the Gods rise out of the Great Ocean and everything that followed (completing the dungeon, being sent underwater, etc)

-Replaying WW and understanding the Hylian Text. Lord Jaboon asking the King of Red Lions if Link was the same Hero as the Hero of time was great

- Thinking Turtle Rock dungeon was the last dungeon in ALTTP and finding out Ganon wasnt in the boss room

-Wondering about the first Deku you see in MM (when you're chasing Skull Kid) and then finding out it was the Butlers son at the end of the game.

-Sniping a poe from long distances on horseback in hyrule field.

-the "alien invasion" in MM

-the "milk heist" in MM

- Playing the Ballad of the Windfish in the Milk Bar in MM (because it brought back great memories of LA after losing my copy )

-Seeing a giant Moblin for the first time in OOT

-Breaking out of prison in Geradu Valley and sniping as many warriors from the window as i could with my bow

- Playing Zelda II for the first time and realizing Links up/down thrust moves from Smash Bros. (as well as great temple level and music) were from that game.

- Wondering what Nabaroo meant when she said "if i would have known you'd grow to be such a handsome man i would of kept that promise i made to you then" (nintendo innuendo ftw)

- Every time i turn on ALTTP; the chime given off when it says nintendo, the music as the triforce is falling into place, then the sound of the sword as it appears behind the Z in Zelda as the epic music plays.

-Getting the bottle from the salesmen in Kakiriko Village in ALTTP and him saying "now hold it up above your head for the world to see, its good for business." i laughed so hard the first time i read that. its the only time i can think of where the series poked fun at itself.

-noticing the carving on links (tree)house of him fighting a giant monster with a fairy at his side

-shooting an arrow into the sun..

-hearing that classic zelda tune get louder and louder as you climb the steps in Ganons Tower right before you reach the door and see Gannondorf playing the organ. Brilliant how they worked it from behing background music to an actual part of the games story.

-the scene following the previous moment, when the camera pulls out and shows gannondorf, zelda and link in the same positions of the triforce that each represents.

phew i could go on and on but i think my list is big enough

Oh man, those are a lot of good moments, EasyCure.  It's amazing, how much awesome stuff slips your mind.
That's when you know you've played a good game.  When there's too much awesome stuff to possibly remember all of it.

I don't remember that at all.  I need to play WW again.  And OoT.  And actually beat MM.

1)-THIS SPACE RESERVED FOR LEGEND OF ZELDA:TWILIGHT PRINCESS-

2) Staying up well past my bed time, totally lost in Ganon's lair in the first Zelda and having my Dad walk in on me. BUSTED! Lost my Nintendo for a week because of that.

3)The entire Ganon fight from OoT, including the bridging sequence for his tower.

4) During the above said week, drawing out the map for Ganon's lair from memory during class, trying to figure out where I hadn't gone.

5)Running into a battle sequence in Zelda 2 for the first time. "Holy crap! He's....tall!"

6)Leaving my window open a crack during a rain storm, bundling up with some blankets and playing LttP all weekend. The smell of rain still invokes those memories for me...

7)Seeing "Ganon gore" splatter all over the place at the end of OoT. Totally shocked.

8) Seeing WW Link finish off Ganondorf. NICE.

9)Finally, FINALLY getting four friends together who had GBAs and playing GCN Four Swords over a weekend. Good times.

10)Watching a friend of mine die at the hands of an angry chicken swarm-mob for the first time in LttP. "Geez man, dont you ever get tired of beating on the chickens?"  "Hell no! This is funny I---WTF?!!! Oh sh*t whats..."   "AAAAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA Fool you DIED!"

Chicken revenge ftw.

5 Getting Hugged for fending off the milk thieves in MM

4 After getting captured by the gerudo's jump slashing from the window and killing her (It was funny at the time it was 4 in the morning and everything was funny no I was not on drugs)

3 Finding an old Zelda Book where Link fights an almost blind moblin.  That was really cool

2 Hearing a kid in school say that he held his sword charge so long, the energy wave reached the windmill in Kakariko

1 Seeing my girlfriend in Zelda cosplay

More of an I'm an idiot moment: Finding out in my second play through of OoT that in the Gerudo's Fortress it was possible to stun the guards with arrows. Previously I had stealthed it, very frustrating.

Ha ha, yeah, when I found out arrows would work on them, I was livid.  I think maybe I'd been using the hookshot for the same purpose.
That's my opinion, not yours.

You know I think I had the same problem, not sure thought but it sounds like a familiar issue. BTW one of the other moments brought back yet another memory, I remember shooting that arrow into the sun in OOT, that was easily one of the coolest moments in a Zelda game.

3 Finding an old Zelda Book where Link fights an almost blind moblin. That was really cool[q/]

i think i had that one!!! the Blind Moblin had a special spear that would return to him after thrown so as to not leave him vulnerable. Link aquired a magical sheild that, for lack of better terms, "ate" the moblins spear; leaving him confused and open to pwnage from Link.

..i bought it at a school book fair when i was like 4 then at age 5 i donated it to a library as part of some school charity thing. dumbest move ever!

Oh I just remembered one! In Wind Waker, when I threw a bomb at the Floor Master... it actually picked it up and threw it back at me! I was so amazed..

That is really neat. Personally, whenever I saw one of those I got away from them as quick as I could. Probably my most feared enemy in all Zelda games (these are the ones that take you to the start of the dungeon, right?)
Thanks for listening.

I skimmed through a lot of these, but I have two things to add.

First, every positive thing said about Link's Awakening is dead on.  Best damn game ever made.

Some Majora's Mask spoilers follow:

Second, perhaps it's not a "favorite" moment, but I didn't see any comments about playing around with Anju and Kafei in Majora's Mask.  Sure, you can finish the side quest and it's happy... but there are so many things that you can start but not finish that are involved with the side quest... and it's very emotional at times... espically when you consider you're just screwing around with them  Seriously, try this out... start various parts of the quest, then stop and talk to people involved.  A good one is to start the quest, finish everything except saving the Sun Mask (actually fail to save it - let it fall) then go see Anju.
Just some random guy on the internet who has a different opinion of games than you.

I was always afraid to fail at getting the Sun Masks quest done. I really don't want to know what happens.

I failed at the Sun Mask quest because my stupid Wavebird ran out of batteries!  It was heart-breaking.  Especially since the glitchy GCN version of the game FROZE on me the previous time that I made it to the Sun Mask section.

Floor Masters and Wall Masters are indeed freaky. I hated to hear their sound effect in the first Legend of Zelda, it always made my heart jump.
That's my opinion, not yours.
