I never played this one and my first Zelda game was the Ocarina of Time on N64. But that game was so good and there are so many nostalgic, retro games that keep on being replayable.
Pokemon Gen 1 - 3 for me for starts, Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2, Mario and much more.
If you loved playing them and you keep going back and enjoying the game, it's got a long lasting life.
