I owe a LOT to Link's Awakening.
It was the game that got me into gaming. Before I got my Gameboy Colour with a randomly selected game that looked good (Link's Awakening) when I was around 8, I didn't even touch games. After playing Link's Awakening (for many years before I actually beat it - I was young okay) it influenced me heaps as the first video game I ever played.
If I didn't chance upon Link's Awakening at Kmart that day, I might be a completely different person.
