System: SNES
Genre: Acion RPG
A truly classic game, I was in such a rush to get it that I nearly fell over a bin during our mad dash into the shop. It's got one of the most memorable game openings of all time (everyone gets stuck in the Hyrule Castle gardens) and it still looks and sounds gorgeous. The dungeons are all excellently designed and full of clever puzzles. Link's ever-growing and often since reused item collection is great fun to play around with. The Dark World is a stroke of terrifying genius, especially the first time you visit as a helpless rabbit, and it's a concept that has been used in many of the later Zeldas. Plus, what other game lets you defeat a powerful wizard using only a bug-catching net?
