Yes, I started with the original Legend of Zelda for NES, although I'm playing it on my 3DS. I also got Legend of Zelda 2: Link's Adventure and A Link To The Past, so those are first before I really dive into Ocarina of Time again.

Totally support getting the Wii U, by the way. Lots of delightful games, and I hope many of them will drop in price now that the Switch is out.
