I and a group of college friends attended what I still consider the greatest E3 of all time: 1997 in Atlanta. MGS, Final Fantasy VII, and ... "Zelda 64". Nintendo had, by far, the most impressive section of the floor. We spent a few hours at their enormous booth repeatedly playing their demo of this eventual masterpiece, which included the archery mechanic. You just knew this was going to something completely, exceptionally different. I had played the FF7 import already, so the US release was a bit diminished for me. But this game? I was counting the days.
Fun fact - that really questionable, never published S&M fighter, "Thrill Kill" was also being demoed (I forget the publisher, EA?).

X-MEN Arcade. Why, oh why, did it get delisted everywhere?
