This game has been in my top ten list since I played it as a kid. Still holds up.

I just beat LttP for the first time last year. It’s between it and Link’s Awakening for my favorite LoZ game
This is my favorite game ever. Enjoy the playthrough! Try to see it with young, wonder-filled eyes.
I loved this game so much that I played through the entire game, recording the entire play through on a VHS tape, so I could pop the tape in and watch it any time I wanted.
I also recreated the end scene with the princesses using Mario Paint, including the music.
I enjoyed a replay just a year ago and it held up as well if not better than I remember (and with RetroAchevements which is rather painful, not recommended for first time lol).
It's really a contender for best Zelda, but it's kind of a different genre from OoT and BotW. Certainly the best 2D top down, even with how good Awakening is.
It also has a whole randomizer community to make the fun endless :)
A link between worlds is the sequel to this. I like it less than alttp, but it's still better IMO than the 3D zeldas. That's just a personal preference, though.
ALttP was my first Zelda on my SNES. The N64 was already released but I had a SNES. I had never played a isometric game before. I loved it. Just this May I played it again on the Anbernic travelling Europe by train. In my memory it took me month to beat. The internet was already there but it wasn’t on my mind to search for help in the early 2000s. I enjoyed the replay. 10/10.
I envy you being able to play this for the first time. I wish I could relive that moment again. Maybe I can when my son gets a bit older.
The kind of thing that would make sense to me to post too - there are a lot of classics and etc I haven't played yet, but I plan to
