To be honest, I actually enjoyed Majora's Mask a lot more than Ocarina. Haven't played either in years though.

As a young lad I had first an NES and then an SNES and Genesis (anyone else remember Sega Channel?) After that I became a devoted Sony loyalist, owning a PS1, PS2, and currently PS3. Probably not getting a PS4 though, with the way the next generation is shaping up it kinda sounds like Steam with less features and less convenience so I may as well stick to PC master race.

It was a good game when it came out since it did a lot of new stuff, but it doesn't have anything that can come close to competing with the improvements, innovations and so on since then. My main problem is that people still claim that it is still one of the best games you can play today, and it really, really is not. It doesn't even have a very enjoyable experience if you play it today or in recent years due to bad design decisions, possibly the graphics unless you can really ignore them, and Navi. Navi alone knocked it down a couple of pegs on the enjoyment scale for me.
Yes, and I have plenty of good reasons for doing so. No need to start getting upset because someone can clearly see the fact that oot is extremely outdated and has plenty of flaws only a child would put up with (Source: I was a child, and I put up with a lot of bad game designs, features, etc as a kid).
That's because you couldn't play it for more than 5 minutes without it running out of juice. This baby cost more to run than my car.
My sister had an NES, which I used briefly until she sold it. Girls. 
My first was a Gameboy, followed by a Gameboy Pocket (purchased via allowance money; mine was green), then a Gameboy Color. I've also had three computers.

My Gameboy Pocket was (and still is, althoguh the D-Pad is a bit loose) green too.
Gameboys are perfect for travelling with as a kid.

The Nomad (which I had) was worse. It lasted around 2 minutes. You could never get past the first level on that thing.

I think gameboy had a much better library than game gear too. Mario games, kirby games, zelda link's awakening (probably my favorite zelda title), metroid? what's not to love? Game gear had crappy versions of sonic.
I used to have road rash for gameboy until I misplaced it... never could find it again, that game was epic.

Some sort of second generation, I guess, not on a regular basis though. Commodore C64 and Amiga 500 were excluded as computers..?

Yeah, I excluded those on the basis that those were computers.
Since this is a forum devoted to a franchise that so far hasn't been on consoles (well, except CivRev, and if you have that and nothing else, I will personally gift you the Civ game for PC of your choice just so I don't have to shed tears for you), I assume that we all have used our computer for gaming at some point or another.

Civ2 was on the PS2 or PS1.

My first encounter with the Civilization series was a rented copy of Civ 2 on the PS1.

I have owned the following:
- Polish pong-like device
- Atari800XL (a computer, but I used it mainly for gaming, games came on "audio" tapes)
- My sisters owned a super Nintendo, which was technically partially mine
- N64
- Gamecube
- Wii
- PS3 which I almost never use
That's it really.. I am mainly a PC gamer. I bought the PS3 for blueray purposes, and the nintendos.. well... I love the brand, mainly because it's so much fun when you've got friends over.

The first device that I played games on was an Amstrad CPC 464, a computer that used cassettes.
My first games console was the Sega Master System, with Alex Kidd in Miracle World built in. The strangest thing about that console was the pause button was on the console itself. I think the console was a hand me down.
My older sister had a Sega Mega Drive, and throughout the years my younger brother and one of my younger sisters each ended up with a Mega Drive. The one given to my younger brother was a Mega Drive II, which he broke.
The first games console that was mine was a Super Nintendo that I got one year for Christmas, I guess back in 1993 as it came with Super Mario All-Stars.
I did have a GameBoy near the end of it's life, but before then I had a Super GameBoy, which was a cartridge that let you play GameBoy games on a Super Nintendo.
My sisters had a Nintendo 64 for a while, until my younger brother poured glue into it.
I got my first computer in 1997, and from then most of the games I played were on the PC.
For a short while, my younger brother had a PlayStation, until he broke it. Then a PSOne, I'm not sure what happened to it.
For Christmas 2001 I got a GameBoy Advance, then I ended up getting the SP version, which my younger brother broke.
In 2002, I got given some game vouchers, and I used it to get a Sega Dreamcast. That console still works after all these years, and I gave it to one of my younger sisters as she developed an interest in older games.
For Christmas 2003 I got given a Nintendo GameCube. It did not last long, as a year later my younger brother got an original Xbox. The GameCube got given to my sisters, who broke it. The Xbox later got broken, but because of a warranty got at the place where it was bought, by the time it broke they replaced it with an Xbox 360. My younger brother for a while had a PlayStation 2, which he later sold with all the games so he could buy ice cream.
For my birthday in 2005 I got a Nintendo DS. Over the years I ended up replacing it with never versions, first the Lite then the DSi, with each one being handed down.
Christmas 2006 I got a Wii, which I still use occasionally. I can't play it much as my younger brother is on the Xbox 360 most of the time, and when he's not it's late at night.
Christmas 2011 I got a Limited Edition Legend of Zelda 3DS, but I kept my DSi as that was a Limited Edition Pokémon version, and I use it when I need to trade between Pokémon games.

Still fondly remember the Intellivision. Back when games were simply called "Baseball" and "Auto Racing" and so on.

Lets see...
1)my first console was a Genesis, although I think I may or may not have gamed on the PC first (which my father got to play Day of the Tentacle on). Genesis lasted till it broke down. Sonic became a childhood hero. So happens Sonic the Hedgehog was first released the game year that I was born...
2) I think I then got a Gameboy: I will be hand gaming from then to DS. I was introduced to Mario viva the 2 Mario plat formers on the original Gameboy.
3) N64: Mario fully became a childhood hero by method of Super Mario 64 (my father loved the game), plus I enjoyed Zelda, Diddy Kong Racing, Goldeneye, Banjo-Kazooie, Blast Corp, Bomberman, Mystical Ninja, Lylat Wars (AKA Starfox 64) and Rouge Squadron.
4) PS1: the only none-Nintendo console I have owned. Notable games I played include Spyro, Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 8 (which I enjoyed the most out of the two FF games I played). The C&C ports convinced me that PCs, not consoles, were the place of RTS, as platformers be for consoles than PCs.
5) Gamecube: first games were Rouge Squadron II and Sonic Adventure II. Enjoyed also Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, Zelda and Super Smash Brothers Melee. Also enjoyed Luigi Mansion. Did not get far in Pikmin 1 due to my failures at the game but I look forward to try again in Pikmin 3.
6) Wii: the Christmas after my father's passing. First game was Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Karts. Other games include both Zelda games, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Little Kings Story, Sins and Punishment 2, Metroid Prime 3, Red Steel 2, the Goldeneye remake, Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Yoshi! Yoshi!), the two Kirby games, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, Sonic Colours and Mario Party 9, plus the Virtual Console games like Super Metriod, Super Mario 3, Final Fantasy 6, Sin and Punishment, Super Mario RPG... as well as the other downloadable games like the Wii port of Cave Story.
7) Wii U: got it last Christmas, the first game I played on it being Sonic and All-Stars Racing: Transformed. Looking forward to Pikmin 3 and Super Smash Brothers.
Edit: O I also forgot to mention that I have a old Commandor, especially for Lemmings. I confess to not inserted this information into the poll.
