Okay, in the last few days, you may have seen me blabber about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I'm truly sorry if I have driven you insane but I've just recently got back to this game and the nostalgia is hitting me like a giant wave. Can you really blame me?

Anyways, do you have any nostalgia experiences you'd like to share?

I'll share a 'few' from this game I've mentioned a million times haha. I got Twilight Princess on Christmas of 2007 (I think) and my first reaction to the title screen opening up was that Link was all grown up. "Whoa, Link is all grown up now?!?!" (This is my first Zelda game that Link is not a child). I was 7 years old around the time so yeah. :)

The beginning phase in Ordon Village is SO LONG in the game that it took me and my dad days just to get through. The fishing quest did not make it any better... I have the Wii version so there's more time taken up!

After progressing a little in the game, I encountered a deku baba for the first time in Faron Woods which scared the life out of me. The battle music was playing at the time and I didn't know where the enemy is so I got even more scared! My dad was also looking up the walkthrough while I was just running around in fear XD. Eventually, I got through.

The twilight segment just really did a number on me. Enemies were scarier and I somehow skipped cutscenes leading up to the point where Link turned to a wolf so I had no idea it was actually him. Did I mention twilight beasts?

Keep in mind that these events took place before I got to the first dungeon so it took forever! And I didn't play the game again until a few years later. I started over and finally managed to get to the first dungeon. The rest is history. Oh and let's not forget the epic theme of Hyrule field. It's really uplifting.

Fun fact: Twilight Princess is rated T for teen, the only Zelda game to have that rating. Obviously, I wasn't a teenager at the time so I can definitely see why I was so scared back then. XD

Actually, I still get scared at certain parts in the game. Maybe this game really is dark after all.

Again are there any nostalgia experiences you'd like to share? :)
 
My older sister and I, like a decade ago, would play the old Spyro games together on the PS1 and PS2. We ended up beating them several times over, and I also remember her and I playing Crash Bandicoot a bit as well. Those systems were eventually sold or broke down though, and I’m the only one in my family that plays video games now. My dad actually thinks it’s a waste of time, to be honest. .-.
 
Ah man, I get super nostalgic for Zelda as well. I've beat most of the series, but one that hits me the most is probably Spirit Tracks. Mostly due to the time I played it. I was 9, and we had just moved across the US. I actually had beat the game, but decided to replay it. We also visited family a state over occasionally, so those visits come back in my head when I play/hear the OST of SS. Especially one time when we visited for Christmas. It would be super cold, and I'd cuddle up in a blanked on the couch and just explore the overworld. Good times.
 
a few months ago I dug my dsi out of the closet and booted up my nintendogs. The nostalgia was overwhelming and insanely enjoyable. That was my first ds game and my doggie was perfect exactly as I left her. Like I'd never left her!
She's a german shepard whose name is snikers, yes it's supposed to be snickers but i ran out of letters and to kid me apparently snikers>snicker.
 
I always get nostalgic when I play games I used to play a lot when I was younger, like Spongebob BFBB and ROTFD, Purr Pals, Petz Catz 2, ATV Off-road Fury 1, and Spyro 3. I also vaguely remember playing Donkey Kong Land on my mom's old Game Boy.

Yeah, that was back in the day when the only game consoles I had to play were the PS2 and, later on, the DS Lite. Back before my Nintendo days.
 
During my middle school years were when I finally got to have video games that weren't CD-ROMs. It started with my younger brother getting a Nintendo DS Lite with Pokemon Diamond and New Super Mario Bros. on his birthday. I later got my own DS Lite and Pokemon Pearl, but at first I was sharing with him. I actually caught a shiny Staravia in his Diamond game when we were still sharing. Some other games I feel nostalgic about from those early times are Pokemon Sapphire, Mario Kart DS, Mario Party DS, and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team. There are other DS/GBA games I find nostalgic, but these were the earliest played ones I could think of.
When we later the got a Wii, the earliest games I remember us having are Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports, and Rabbids Go Home.
 
A month or two ago I listened to Theme Songs Of shows I used to watch when I was little, oh boy the nostalgia, and also sometimes when I play a game I haven’t played in a while or look back at Videos/Sound Clips on my 3DS.
 
I was watching Animal Crossing Gamecube videos on youtube and I took a trip down memory lane. I remembered all the fun times I had playing that game and It makes me want to start playing it again! The best part of Animal Crossing Gamecube is when Wisp appears at midnight and asks you to collect 5 spirits.
