(Saw this question asked on another popular link aggregation website and it got me thinking)

If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would you choose? This might be because you want to do it all again, or because you don't think you got enough out of it the first time. It could be experiencing the game exactly as you were back then, or experiencing a game with what you know now.

For me, it's Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, experienced exactly as I was back in 1991.

Nothing comes close to how jaw-droppingly amazed I was by that opening sequence. The epic orchestral score, the cinematic rainstorm, creeping around in the dark... it was a generational leap above anything I'd played on 8-bit computers and consoles, and even the Megadrive. I'd love to play it again without thirty plus years of Nintendo/Zelda knowledge, or without knowing about the dark world.

Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom. BOTW was my first Zelda game and I honestly loved it. I would sit for hours in the living room zoned in to the game with checklist paper and notebooks next to me to keep track of what I was doing. If I could do it again I'd instead use an interactive map like I did with TOTK.

As for TOTK, the Rito dungeon was my favorite and if I could experience that adrenaline pumping battle for the first time again, I would. Tulin is a baby and I love him.
