But I do remember the NES, but I was really young, I can't really pinpoint how old I was.

That's pretty exciting. I had older cousins from both sides of my family who played videogames, so that's how I was introduced. I actually watched one of my cousins play Zelda, but never got to play it myself until later. I only recall playing Batman and Life Force and later on Super Mario Bros. 3. When I finally persuaded my parents to get me a console, it was around the time when Super Mario RPG and Mario 64 were being displayed. There was a promotional banner for Super Mario RPG to the side and a Kiosk for Super Mario 64. My parents bought me an SNES with Donkey Kong Country and Mario RPG. I was so disappointed that I finally got to sell the SNES entirely for an N64 and a copy of Mario 64, around the time when the only games available were that and Pilot Wings.
