I first heard about Zelda through my brother who had a NES and the first and second Zelda game. He wouldn't let me play either because the cartridges were both gold and he thought I'd ruin them. I spent many years fantasizing about what I couldn't have until along came the N64 (my first game console) and Ocarina of Time. That was my introduction to the franchise and man did I love it.
And thanks to re-releases, collector's editions and going over to my cousins who has every Nintendo system known to man, I have played Zelda 1, 2, A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, OoT, Majora's Mask, Oracles of Ages & Seasons, Wind Waker, Four Swords and Twilight Princess. Only ones among them I don't own is Link's Awakening. The rest I haven't played. How about you guys?
I got in to it when my sister was doing a run for drugs in the city next to us. While she was scoring I was playing with her dealers kids and they had LoZ: OoT. It was amazing and opened up my world. It took forever to convince my mom the game wasn't full of evil spirits and buy it for me. But I finally got it. I've only grown to love the games even more. Windwaker, despite having all that ocean, was particularly enjoyable. I found the humorous storyline cute, and serious when it needed to be.
TP made me cry. Hardcore. No spoilers. But it did.
