Tiny me playing Zelda OOT when it released - in the days before guides were really a thing, so my dumb ass just had to figure it all out on my own.

Anyway, first 3D game I'd played - before that it was just some SNES and the original GameBoy cinder-block... and I was pretty much at the lowest end of that game's target audience, so tiny me was struggling to progress. Finally finish the Deku Tree after, idk a few weeks or so, which is about how long it normally took me to finish a game, so I thought that was it.

Cool! Well that was fun! All that's left is to escape the forest and that's a wrap! ...what's this chick on about with the ocarina?? Oh yeah, that's the name of the game, I got the thing! Woo! Okay, through that next log, and surely the credits will start to roll....... oh, I'm still in control of my character. Weird. OMG STFU YOU GODDAMNED OWL YOU'VE BEEN TALKING FOR LIKE AN HOUR!

And then the moment: taking my first steps into Hyrule field and seeing all the paths shooting off from it. Realized the was in fact not over, but had barely started.

Mind. Blown.

Playing OOT for the first time was pure joy.
