Tell Us Dammit: Best Video Game Openings

I’m almost certain we’ve had this discussion before, but I want to have it again! What are your very favourite video game openings?

By openings I mean ‘levels’ or ‘beginnings’ or whatever word you’d like to use to describe it.

I’m struggling to think of ones that stand out here. I always like the way the very first Halo started. I’ll never forget playing the first hour of Mario 64 either, but those aren’t traditionally incredible openings.

Oh wait, I have one: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past with the rain and the drama. So good.

I suspect I’m going to go through the comments on this one saying, “why didn’t I think of that one?”
